PolkaBiz finds and helps new businesses that have a lot of potential. They have already looked at more than 100 businesses this year. They want to give people who want to start their own businesses a chance to show what they can do. Their program helps businesses grow and also teaches students in special programs.

WAGOI is a new app that will help car owners control their own car data. Most cars today are connected, but drivers don't have control over their data. Car makers make money from this data, and it's a big market worth $750 billion. Soon, new rules in the European Union will say that people must have access to their car data, which is a big chance for WAGOI.

WAGOI will use a special technology called blockchain to make sure car data is safe and can't be changed. It will work with rules like the EU Data Act and GDPR to make sure everything is done the right way. WAGOI will be the first app like this on the Polkadot Hub, which is a place for new apps.

WAGOI is good for Polkadot because it follows EU rules, which will make people trust it more. It will also make a lot of value for drivers and others in the car world. WAGOI is working with big car companies, which will help more people use Polkadot's technology.

People should support WAGOI because it will change the car data market and give control back to drivers. It will also help Polkadot be more popular in the car and mobility world. WAGOI's plan and budget are in a big document, but it's important to read because it talks about how the new rules will help WAGOI's business.

WAGOI is a big part of the car world and works with other groups like FISITA, INATBA, and MyData. The founder, Mario Schraepen, has a lot of experience in cars and blockchain, which will help WAGOI be successful. WAGOI wants to show that blockchain can be used for real-world problems, not just for making money. The new rules in the EU will help WAGOI take advantage of this chance.

The Spanish Bounty program aims to support and reward Spanish-speaking content creators in the blockchain industry. The program has identified challenges such as slow evaluation processes, lack of feedback, and the need for better communication and content impact. Proposed solutions include improved collaboration between curators and content creators, a reduced event budget cap, removal of translation rewards, and the addition of an external auditor for transparency. The goal is to maintain momentum within the Spanish-speaking community, ensure high-quality content, and foster a more active and dynamic community. The program is led by Spanish-speaking curators with knowledge in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.

Spanish Bounty V3

RegionX parachain is a trustless marketplace for Coretime on Polkadot. It aims to help teams benefit from its features and delegate governance and revenue to DOT holders. The proposal seeks funding for deployment on Kusama and improving the Coretime Hub user interface. Polkadot is a scalable platform for hosting rollups, and attracting new teams is important. The marketplace is needed for secondary Coretime purchases, immediate use, and scaling on the go. RegionX parachain will use DOT as its native token for governance and fees, but it will not be a system chain to avoid burdening the Polkadot Fellowship.

RegionX - Coretime Marketplace Production Deployment Phase 1

- Bounty #62 curators are chosen by the Polkadot community.
- Four curators are proposed: DonDiegoSanchez, CoinStudio, Matthias (Scytale), and Amforc.
- They will work together using a 2-of-4 multisig system.
