Polkadot Beam Sponsorship at ETHPrague 2024

Summary

Glazescape, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the Polkadot ecosystem through community-driven events, is seeking funding from the Polkadot Treasury to secure a Beam sponsorship at ETHPrague 2024. The sponsorship will enable Glazescape to represent Polkadot, increase its visibility, and attract new users and developers to the ecosystem.

Key points

  1. Glazescape will design and manage an engaging Polkadot booth at ETHPrague 2024, showcasing the network's unique features and benefits.
  2. Polkadot ambassadors will be present at the booth to engage with attendees, answer technical questions, and collect leads for future collaborations.
  3. Polkadot-branded merchandise will be distributed to increase brand awareness and drive engagement.
  4. The sponsorship aims to foster partnerships and collaborations with key players in the blockchain industry.
  5. Success metrics will be tracked and reported to demonstrate the impact of the sponsorship on the Polkadot ecosystem.

Budget

The total budget requested for the sponsorship is $42,550, which includes:

  • Beam sponsorship package
  • Equipment rental
  • Merchandise production
  • Ambassador travel and accommodation stipends
  • Miscellaneous expenses
  • Glazescape team costs

An additional 10% buffer of $4,255 is being requested to cover any unforeseen expenses and $DOT price fluctuation.

Why Polkadot Treasury

Glazescape has chosen to submit this proposal directly to the Polkadot Treasury for two main reasons:

  1. To ensure timely execution of the sponsorship
  2. To allow for a comprehensive evaluation of the proposal's merits

The team believes that the Treasury's support will send a strong signal about Polkadot's commitment to engaging with the broader blockchain community.

Impact on the Polkadot Ecosystem

By securing this beam sponsorship, Polkadot has the opportunity to:

  • Significantly increase its visibility
  • Attract new users and developers
  • Establish itself as a leading platform in the blockchain industry

The Polkadot community is encouraged to provide feedback and support for this proposal, which aims to drive the adoption and growth of the Polkadot ecosystem.

Proposal seems worthwhile but I find it difficult to Aye without the commitment of ambassadors.
Could you update the proposal with the names and brief description once selected?

The attendees of ETHPrague 2024 are highly likely to be interested in crypto, making the target audience sufficiently precise, and it is meaningful to raise Polkadot's visibility within the Ethereum community. The proposal is detailed, with clear objectives and a thorough budget breakdown. The proposer has a good track record with past proposals.

PolkaWorld voted Aye.

Being active during Ethereum events such as ETHPrague 2024 is a perfect fit for Polkadot, as it attends very specific people with a medium or high understanding of decentralized networks, deep technical knowledge etc. This makes sense for us, AYE. Plus we collaborated with the organizing team on several occasions and they always delivered what was promised.
