[NOTE: This article is a suggested proposal. Proposal No 322 has not yet been submitted. Any suggestions and feedback welcome.]
) is a non-commercial meeting place in Krakow. It combines elements of a cultural center, cafe, school, museum, library and coworking space.The Kingdom Without Limit (in Polish: Królestwo Bez Kresu or just KBK) is not a cafe, although you can have a cup of coffee. It is not a cultural center, although you can take part in various events. It is not a school, although you can learn a lot. It is not a museum, although it collects a lot of old objects. It is also not a library, although it allows you to borrow books. The Kingdom is a meeting place. This term probably fits the most.
From Monday to Saturday, anyone can come here to meet new people or meet old friends. Every week there are various events. There are also Polish classes for foreigners (especially for war refugees from Ukraine). The Kingdom is a unique place that combines many different functionalities using blockchain Hive to solve different problems. Sometimes it is almost an institution. Especially when someone shows up who needs help.

Everyone has their own story about the Kingdom. Here are some of them:
Just looking at how KBK is operated and run through the hive blockchain and how passionate every member was sucked me in immediately. They were more than welcoming and never made me feel like an outsider. Very quickly I felt like I was among close friends.

KBK is not just confined within the Hive community, it has a connection with the outside world as well. It's a creative place based on the Hive blockchain and world.

A place I could not explain well with photos and words, as one just has to be there and feel the vibe. Experience the different approach - I simply loved it. I think we all truly loved it, with every little detail and in global, what it represents.

There are several rooms in Krolestwo and each of them was literally buzzing with lively conversations. Everyone was fascinated by the unique decor and very special atmosphere of the place so there was a lot questions about Krolestwo and Dawid was busy answering and explaining everything but he still somehow also managed to make sure that everyone felt like home.

Some of the locals came to the event and stayed a short time which was another obstacle to enjoying their company... While others, like myself,

were coming over and over again to the KBK for 3 days in a row...

My favourite part of the venue is this big wardrobe by the kitchen on the left and toilet on the right. It's a logical place for people to hang their coats and bags. Or so I thought. Except I couldn't be more wrong!! I opened the wardrobe door and it took me into another world. And I'm not joking!!!

When I got to the Kingdom, I was under a very positive impression. After all, the retro space always fills me with a special harmony! Everything here smelled of antiquity! Candles, tables in the form of old suitcases, a cassette music player, paintings, chess, and a unique rocking chair, in which we all took photos :)

Right from the threshold, I was captured by the atmosphere of the KBK. Seemingly dusty and somewhat ancient, the place is in fact bustling with life and teeming with micro-adventures and exhibits, each of which seems to have its own story.

Hive inspired sweeping changes and at the same time gave the right tools. Before landing on the blockchain in 2018, the Kingdom worked like this: people would come in, order a tea and could leave some money in a box that stood on a table. This system was completely inefficient and often didn't even cover half the cost. Hive inspired us to create our own token called rycar (RCR) and stimulate support. It is given to donors and volunteers. At the venue, they can get various drinks for it or rent a room for a private meeting. In addition, anyone with an RCR can make a proposal for the Kingdom and the tokens then are voting power.
RCR is not a typical token. It exists as a MEMO for microtransfers on the 
Tokenisation is the solution to the biggest problem, but not the only one. The Kingdom also uses Hive as a database. Here are examples:
account publishes daily reports with basic statistics. For many people (especially those who don't use Facebook), this is the main source of information about what's happening at the property.
account, the law of the Kingdom is published. Thanks to the blockchain, any unauthorised change will be noted.
account, a library system is created so that people can borrow books. Everything is recorded in the blockchain and it is known exactly who borrowed a particular book.
account publishes a detailed description of the exhibits that are housed in the Museum of Sloppy Work and Thievery located in the KBK toilet (you will find Justin Sun there, for example).Anything more? Of course, because the prizes from the entries go to the Development Fund, through which in recent years we have purchased: a dishwasher, a piano, an air fryer, a speaker and new tables. Hive is therefore a great fundraising tool. The Kingdom has used it not only to meet its own needs, but also for humanitarian aid. Such is the role of the 
Onboarding is an important part of the Kingdom's activities, as Hive is the main platform for communication. No one can actively participate in the life of the KBK without having a Hive account. If someone wants to submit a proposal or vote then they have to create an account. The same applies to voting for books on Book Club, receiving prizes in various competitions or borrowing books. All this makes the Kingdom the only place in the Universe where Hive is used on many different levels.

"This place is growing thanks to blockchain."
The Kingdom has been promoting Hive from the bottom up for many years, showing with everyday work how useful the technology is. We organised our first community meeting in 2018, shortly after landing on the blockchain. Until recently, we did this without any funding. Things changed in April this year. The Kingdom received support from Value Plan and miracles began to happen!
Firstly, we have developed a way to use Facebook's algorithms without paying Meta. It is very simple: we reward users with RCRT tokens for likes and comments. These tokens can be used in the Kingdom. This has brought amazing results. The number of reactions increased fivefold and the reach tripled. Information about events started to appear to different people. This clearly converted into attendance. The result is that the Kingdom is growing and becoming more popular every month.
Secondly, we have started to organise more events powered by Hive. These are free and are very popular. Some of them directly involve people in Hive. For example, a ceramics workshop where the condition for firing the clay work is to publish it. Of course, everyone has guaranteed assistance in setting up an account and help in case of problems (unfortunately quite frequent).
Thirdly, new ideas have come along with new people. One of these is meetings where participants code together. Two such creative coding events have been held so far. They have been very popular. With this proposal, we would like to expand this by focusing on creating applications on Hive.

The Value Plan is a great initiative and has been very helpful, but with more funds we are able to do more. And the scope for activity is huge. Krakow is a city visited by millions of tourists. It is also a major academic centre. Many foreigners live here. A venue that is in the very centre of such a large city has enormous potential. We want to use it! There are four fields where we need support.
Development and implementation of a marketing strategy exposing the use of Hive in the Kingdom.
Cost: 24,000 HBD
Includes: work costs, contests rewards, multimedia production.
The expansion of the artistic workshops powered by Hive and the purchase of the necessary materials.
Cost: 10,000 HBD
Includes: costs of preparing and running workshops, costs of materials.
Organising The Hive Coding School, cyclical coding sessions (recorded and published as a video course), as well as hackathons, focused on creating applications on the Hive blockchain.
Cost: 30,000 HBD
Includes: costs of preparing, running and recording sessions, rewards for contributors, maintenance costs for applications.
Professional coordination of volunteering in the Kingdom.
Cost: 18,000 HBD
Includes: work costs.
These activities are planned for one year. Their cost is 82,000 HBD. The payment is spread over 100 days and amounts to 820 HBD per day.

The final effects are difficult to predict because it is highly likely that a snowball effect will work. The appearance of new people and their involvement in coordinated activities can end up with something truly amazing. However, we hope that this is just the beginning and more meeting places like the Kingdom will be created in future. There is no better way to promote Hive than through meetings....
