Polkadot Unity SDK proposal to become a Verified Solution (Part 2)

by AJUNA NETWORK

Summary:

Background: The second phase of our proposal for the Polkadot Unity SDK is now centered on BD/Marketing and educational endeavors. After setting the foundation with technical development (covered in Part 1), we aim to ensure its successful adoption and inclusion in the Unity Asset Store. Collaboration: Our team of over 20 active members, boasting reputable names such as Ajuna, Apilon, Astar, Aventus, Gear Technologies, Moonsama, Moonbeam, and Parity Technologies, has proficiently addressed the technical complexities of this initiative. Now, united in our mission, we're strategically poised to utilize our joint expertise to maximize the marketing potential of the Unity SDK in the gaming sector. Funding Request: We're requesting $275,000 in total. This fund is earmarked for BD activities, Marketing efforts, tooling, and the designation of a dedicated Caretaker role and Polkadot Unity SDK Advocate role. Opportunity: The Unity Asset Store's integration offers a remarkable opportunity to elevate Polkadot's brand recognition among the game and app developer community. It's the next logical step to accentuate this milestone through targeted marketing and business development, ensuring the Polkadot ecosystem genuinely benefits from this edge in the gaming arena. Team and Management: A curator team will oversee the budget. Representatives from Parity and Parachains will compose this team, ensuring transparent and efficient use of funds, open communication with the dot community, and support the Caretaker Your Role: We encourage the community to review, provide feedback, and propose modifications. Your active participation is crucial in refining our strategy and ensuring Polkadot's triumphant entry into the gaming ecosystem.

Current Progress and Comments:

The continuation of the original “Polkadot Unity” proposal (referendum 177). This one, on the other hand, sought to increase the presence and reach of the Unity SDK on as many developers as possible. The expansion is looking for outreach and business development through events and direct contacts with the community and entities.
