Milestone 3: Polkadot Hackathon Global Series 2023

by Tribe/AngelHack

Summary:

In December 2022, AngelHack proposed to run two Polkadot Global Series hackathons in both the Europe and APAC regions for 2023. This was done in effort to continue bridging existing gaps within the Web3 space through active engagements with the ecosystem teams and wider Polkadot community. Subsequently, the forming of such stronger connections within the community will also allow for easier onboarding of more developers across a diverse range of backgrounds. We are now currently on our 3rd project milestone for the Polkadot APAC Hackathon, and we are requesting for $302,000 USD (60,246.88 DOT) from the treasury. This is partly to reimburse our operations and service fee for running the hackathon, but mainly to reward the hackathon winners for their hard work and contribution in this edition. The proposal provides a full budget breakdown as per our the milestones set out in our initial proposal.

Current Progress and Comments:

The third proposal by Angelhack which aimed to get reimbursement for the prizes the hackathon contestants as well as operational expenditures. Allegedly, continuous funding for all their events was approved by gov1, hence they decided to launch the hackathons and ask for refunds later.
