About Chloe
Chloe Lewis, Founder of the Marma J Foundation, spends most of her time educating communities about various Web3 topics, supporting creators with onboarding into the Web3 space, and developing ways to provide more support with fewer resources.

Web3 Experience
In 2019, Chloe spearheaded the beginnings of the Marma J Foundation’s boots-on-the-ground projects in Antigua.
In 2020, Chloe dropped out of the Computer Science program at the University of Windsor to pursue a Research Intern position at HashCloak. Following this position, Chloe worked with Mintbase as they transitioned from Ethereum to NEAR Protocol.
In 2021, Chloe worked with the NEAR Foundation to help build functionality for DAOs within the NEAR ecosystem. This led to the creation of the Marma J DAO which seeks to spread love and positivity within the Web3 ecosystem as a whole.
In The Works
Chloe is currently working on building Browns Avenue Consulting Inc. (BAC Inc.), is the product owner of Marma J Gaming on behalf of the community, and is the Founder and Director of the Marma J Foundation and Marma J DAO.
Chloe is a champion of the OG Badge (SBT) DAO, aiming to distribute 300 OG SBTs. These tokens signify your active role and commitment within the NEAR ecosystem. By backing the OG SBT DAO, Chloe is fostering deeper community engagement and helping individuals leave their mark on NEAR’s future.

On Chloe’s Radar
Chloe is preparing to participate in a momentous event for the NDC. Nominations open on July 20, 2023, for the NDC election, a pioneering event in the organization’s history. With her sights set on a seat in the House of Merit, Chloe’s vision encompasses comprehensive, user-focused platforms rooted in sustainability, privacy, and community empowerment.
Chloe’s commitment to a sustainable future is underscored by her advocacy for carbon neutrality, or even better, carbon negativity. This pledge is more than mere rhetoric; it is backed by solid data and partnerships. Collaborating with Southpole, an organization recognized for its contributions to environmental sustainability, Chloe seeks to implement strategies for achieving carbon neutrality akin to Southpole’s partnership with NEAR Protocol. This strategic alliance helps ensure that NDC’s operations are environmentally friendly and contribute positively to the global climate agenda.
Central to Chloe’s platform is user privacy protection within the NDC governance. She has been vocal about integrating stronger privacy protections for users, underlining the importance of secure and private voting within the NDC. As an exemplar of this initiative, Chloe highlights the potential role of Calimero’s secure and private polling mechanism within the NDC’s voting system. This move emphasizes her commitment to maintaining user privacy at all times, ensuring individual users can participate in the NDC’s decision-making process without compromising their personal data.
Chloe also passionately advocates for grassroots local initiatives. She believes in the power of local community engagement and sees the value in supporting initiatives like tech education programs or local businesses via the community treasury. Her objective is to ensure the widest possible number of individuals can benefit from these initiatives. Chloe understands that while the NEAR Foundation focuses on larger partnership deals, the NDC should concentrate on smaller grassroots initiatives and offer support to those who may otherwise not be able to access NEAR Foundation support.
In a nutshell, Chloe’s imminent journey toward the House of Merit signifies her dedication to building a sustainable, secure, and inclusive NDC. As the election date nears, Chloe is steadfast in her commitment to ensuring her campaign reflects these ideals and, most importantly, acts on them for the betterment of the entire NDC community.
