Title: Polkadot @CoindeskConsensus 2023, April 26-28, 2023 in Austin, Texas
by Polkadot@CoindeskConsensus
This proposal aims to cover the costs of Polkadot's participation (spearheaded by the Web3 Technologies Foundation) as a Block 3 sponsor at the Coindesk Consensus conference, which was held from April 26-28, 2023, in Austin, Texas. It includes a 20 x 40 booth, 15 participating ecosystem teams, branding on conference materials and main sponsorship of the Coindesk anniversary event. The proposal also covers Polkadot’s participation in the Coindesk Consensus hackathon, called the “HackerEarth Web3athon”, which occurs between April 17th (start of hacking) and June 30th (winners announcement).
Current Progress and Comments:
The W3F representation at the Coindesk Consensus hackathon sought funding from the treasury. The W3F is one of the responsible for outreach at large events which bring to the light the development of new technologies in the ecosystem. The main opponent of this proposal was Ivy Network which brought to light some of the issues with the high pricing of some elements of this event. Some of which were echoed by members of the ChaosDAO as well as Polkadot Philosophy.
