Empower Polkadot Playground - Educate With Game For Highschool and University

Interlay is a BTC bridge and Bitcoin DeFi Hub in the Polkadot ecosystem. They need more iBTC collateralization to meet the high demand for iBTC. They plan to add new lending markets, new vault collaterals, and research how to improve the Vault model. They propose three options for the Polkadot Treasury to incentivize 40 iBTC capacity for use throughout the Polkadot ecosystem. These options are to grant DOT to pay out as vault rewards, use VDOT staking rewards to perpetually increase vault staking rewards, or loan DOT collateral to trusted vault operators who would directly create iBTC minting capacity against the treasury’s DOT collateral. The wider Polkadot community is invited to provide feedback.

Incentivize Interlay iBTC capacity as Polkadot common good

Proposal

The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app is a project that aims to provide educational resources about Polkadot and blockchain technologies in the local language for users in Ethiopia and across Africa. The project is still in the planning stage and has not yet entered the development phase. The absence of comprehensive educational resources in Amharic for learning about Polkadot blockchain technology in Ethiopia is a problem that needs to be addressed. The app will provide structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support in the native language. The app will track progress effectively and boost motivation. The project will contribute to diversity, knowledge contribution, and global accessibility within the Polkadot ecosystem.
