Polkadot Relayers Incubator 2023
The Polkadot Relayers is a community-first early-stage incubator programme that seeks to grow talented builders in their endeavour to build dApps on Polkadot’s parachains. The inaugural launch of the Polkadot Relayers took place last year in 2022, and was successful in accomplishing its initial objective of bringing together developers and entrepreneurs, as well as providing individuals with a platform to actualise their innovative ideas. This year, the Relayers program seeks to focus on nurturing committed project teams looking for mentorship, investment, and ecosystem support whilst they build on Polkadot. The 2023 edition seeks to improve on the learnings from the Relayers program in 2022, building on participant feedback and working very closely with 7 dedicated parachain teams to create a cohesive initiative that gives back to the Polkadot ecosystem.
Current Progress and Comments:
The second proposal by Angelhack which sought to fund the second edition of the Polkadot relayer series which took a new cohort of participants willing to engage in the development. Just like with other similar hackathon proposals, governance needs to focus on how much the participants managed to develop solutions either as part of a new team or solo, so that we are sure of the impact of this initiative which has already a few already known names sponsoring it, As for the events themselves, they were executed professionally as well as on time. The decision of getting a second milestone exclusively for travel expenses would be controversial.
