Hello.
First and Foremost. Please note, last SuperBlock we were able to submit a second proposal for 27,000 PIV in addition to our monthly submission. In response, this month I have decreased the PIV request from 45,000 to 30,000 in an attempt to aid other arms within the PIVX program in response to the coin value and strain on the current budget. The goal of the PIVX Ambassador program is to have enough funds to be 1 month ahead of expenses. This allows for 2 things. 1. Quick expansion and 2. Quick response to global opportunities and initiatives. If we are in a deficit, we cannot respond quickly, promote or offer appropriate bonuses for exemplary performance. A full expense sheet breakdown is always available in the proposal attachments and if a full report is request, I can provide this upon request with full transparency. As a reminder, the wallet is currently available to 3 core PIVX members and is currently fully 'balanced' in accordance with the online wallet.
With this in mind, next months proposal will need to increase (likely similar to last months proposal ~45,000) in order to accommodate monthly expenses. This proposal ask is up for discussion and can be modified to suit the larger PIVX needs. Please comment and if we need to revise or re-submit, we can review. We understand the strain on the current budget and are aiming to be respectful of all proposals being submitted.
Please note: Changes to the proposal request will directly effect the ability to promote / onboard / support new initiatives.
With the Holidays over the last month, there was an expected dip as everyone celebrated their family and friends. But we are planning for an exciting and active 2026 year. We have built the base structure and are looking forward to expanding our reach and impact with new initiatives.
Quick Update Overview:
• Open Letter: Huge shout out to the entire team that helped draft and design and outreach an Open Letter in Response to the ZCash Dev team. The team banded together in an interactive FAST initiative that resulted in the following letter: https://pivx.org/news/an-open-letter-to-all-privacy-builders . Well done all!
• Members: 13 active paid members of the Ambassador Program.
We decreased by 1 Ambassador (The option to continue as an Advocate was offered, but declined) following an anonymous performance review by the Ambassador Program Members.
• New Positions: All of our 'to-date' Ambassadors have been peer reviewed and anonymously approved to move into a 'lead Ambassador' role. This comes with increase pay and increased responsibilities. This also allows for movement for a few positions from Advocate -> Ambassador (Pending Budget allowance). This initiative and voting process is under way and consideration.
• New Initiatives: Our current Advocates have been brainstorming how to build momentum outside of social initiatives. Some of these ideas are outline below. If full proposals are desired, these can be provided upon request.
• Onboarding: New referral advocates have been reviewed and are on stand-by as we navigate our budget and new initiatives. We do not want to onboard numbers that we cannot support, thus we are stepping forward thoughtfully and with spreadsheets in mind as well as initiatives and impact.
• Contests: Our Friday contests are currently suspended. The monthly costs to support the data (contributed by a private donor) are substantial and upon review, we are going to shift the bonus structure to incorporate more platforms and initiatives. We understood initially that the data was restricted to X, but offering a fun bonus to our new Advocates was important as well. The new structure is still under development.
• Learn & Earn: We have 4 new modules that are in development and implementation and delivery is still under development. Hawtch's proposal was not approved last SuperBlock and thus we are working to fill the gaps in the development of this initiative.
• Starter 5 Sprint: @OxBVD handled the initial roll-out of this, hoping when new Advocates are onboarded we can initiate another sprint under OxBVD.
• Crypto Coffee House: Elena hosted her first Crypto Coffee House, which was a great success (pics updated in previous proposal). We are encouraging more and sharing knowledge with the Advocates to self engage.
• Voting Structure: We have integrated an anonymous voting structure to help guide program decisions within the Ambassador team. This allows for us to discuss and review topics privately and without bias. This is an ongoing practice that seems to be effective.
How the Funding will be used: (same goals as last month)
We currently have 13 Paid members within the program. We are looking to expand to more Advocates (ideally 5) and are encouraging shifts to different levels within the program.
We are encouraging nominations for these shifts.
Current tally:
Marketing: 3 (Funded independently)
Mentors: 3 (Non funded through program)
Lead Ambassadors: 5
Ambassadors: 0
Advocates: 8

Note, The stats are as expected with a slight decrease over the Holidays and New Years.
Snapshot of a few (far from all, but just to give you a taste) performance metrics gathered from the team. Congratulations team and keep it up!!!
Automation (In the works - ongoing development (yes still, other initiatives continue to take priority):
We are working to automate as much as we can within the program to help decrease the amount of time commitment to manage and make the system as smooth as possible for those working within the program. The goal is to offer tools and resources to support the amazing team and spread the PIVX word.
With this in mind, we are working on advancing our automated reporting system for the Social accounts which will allow us to achieve 2 things:
1. Simplify the reporting structure for anyone on the Ambassador team ideally allowing them more time to do what they love and
2. Allow us to compile Thousands of metrics quickly and allow for a snapshot at any point in time.
Until we manage this, please be patient as we report out in the best way we can to show Total Team effort.
Open to suggestions for Automation welcome.
What We’re Aiming for This Month
As we build the team, the resources and tools to support our members we will be focusing on a few things in particular this month:
• Supporting and encouraging our second wave of Advocates. Quantity TBD
• Advocate Sprint initiated once new Advocates are invited to the program. TBD
• Ambassador Program TownHall. 1 x month min
• Nominations for Advocates to move into Ambassador roles. In Progress
• Budget analysis for 2026 and trajectories
• Build reporting form for all levels of the Program - FYI this is a huge task. Ideally all 4 levels are completed this month, but be patient with us! (Still working on this.)
• PIVX anniversary push - Jan 29th.

• Work with our Marketing team to implements a quarterly roll-out approach that can drive Advocates and Ambassadors with posts and messaging.

How the Funding will be used: (same goals as last month)
- Incentivizing Current Advocates and Ambassadors: Providing rewards and support to our existing ambassadors to sustain their engagement and efforts. The team has been sent PIV to reward and recognize Advocates that are standing out and making a huge impact.
- Attracting New Recruits: Offering incentives that encourage new members to join and actively participate in the program.
- Supporting Pilot Development: Ensuring the initial rollout of the pilot program is adequately funded to maximize its success and impact. (TBD on development requirements)
- Flexibility and Responsiveness: Having a dedicated fund allows us to respond quickly to emerging needs and opportunities, fostering growth and engagement.
- Transparency and Oversight: All fund activity will be transparently reported on a monthly basis, with oversight shared among trusted community members to ensure proper management. I have spoken with @Liquid369 & @Hawtch and plan to share the details of the wallet with both to ensure full transparency and also to have a member in place to allocate appropriate distribution if I am unable too. (Completed)
- The option to register for X premium for the X social accounts has been offered. Small fee for amazing reporting and perks.
We currently have 13 Paid members within the program. We are looking to expand to more Advocates (ideally 5) and are encouraging shifts to different levels within the program.

Content Output & Performance A total of 12 unique articles were published. While the "Weekly Pulse" remains a staple, the audience showed increased interest in broader crypto-privacy news and security alerts. Topics included:
|
| A high posting frequency was maintained on Reddit, Telegram and HIVE, resulting in a total of 67 posts between all platforms. This activity ensures a consistent presence and the dissemination of vital information to diverse audiences.Additionally, my ongoing work as a moderator on Discord and Telegram has been crucial in maintaining a supportive, organized, and safe environment for discussion, and I should mention that I have helped with the translation of various PIVX community materials, promoted official PIVX accounts, as well as ambassador accounts, and their posts. |
| Early January signal:Following this engagement-first positioning, external podcast/X Space outreach has begun organically (e.g. DigitalGoldTalk), currently exploratory, aligned with a selective, high-signal approach for Q1.PIVXUKDecember focused on foundations.Low-volume, high-clarity execution reinforced UK-relevant narratives (digital cash, low fees, user control). Engagement rate stayed above average, with replies doing the heavy lifting, credibility over 'noise'. |
|
| Editing and Translation of Graphics into SpanishSwapter ListingEmpower_userChristmas ContestMerry_XmasHappy _New_YearTranslations of graphics submitted by Wams, weeks 5 , 6, 7 One of my achievements during December was planning and hosting my first crypto café here in my city. It was well-received and a great success, and I hope to continue hosting them. I'd also like to participate in AMAS (Association of Mastercard Approaches) or online meetings with key partners in Spanish to further promote and develop PIVX. |
Automation (In the works - ongoing development (yes still, other initiatives continue to take priority):
We are working to automate as much as we can within the program to help decrease the amount of time commitment to manage and make the system as smooth as possible for those working within the program. The goal is to offer tools and resources to support the amazing team and spread the PIVX word.
