**TLDR:
GM Shredders! President of BluntDao Apollo here with an exciting new dive into Decentralized Science! We are proposing a partnership with GNARS DAO to fund three snowboarders or skiers at ETH Denver and nearby slopes for a Proof of Sesh DeSci activation. This initiative integrates cannabis culture, decentralized science, and action sports, with performance metrics tracked before and after cannabis consumption. By scaling to three participants, we remain within a $2,250 budget, including ski passes, rentals, custom GNARS-branded merchandise, and media production. All content will be aligned with GNARS branding and shared with the DAO to enhance visibility and engagement. We also request 28 GNARS NFT’s to give away (3 for the snowboard and skateboard contestants)
