Proposal to fund several events during Berlin Blockchain Week Sep. 12th - 18th.
This proposal is a community led proposal, led by several parachains that have shown high interest in being part of the organizing team of this proposal. KILT Protocol, Phala Network, Subsquid, Crust Network, Bifrost, Basilisk and others came together to lay out a week full of Polkadot ecosystem events and educational content.
Instead of organizing a full one- or two-day conference as it has been done for example during EthCC in Paris, the organizer team decided to approach it in a different way and make use of the full seven days of Berlin Blockchain Week.
The goal is to organize every day a Polkadot specific event based on a different ecosystem topic (Cloud services, UI/UX in DeFi, NFT & metaverse infra, Polkadot updates). Every event is organized in a different style (from boat party to panel discussion and NFT art gallery event) to show the diversity of our ecosystem and use every day of the blockchain week to promote the Polkadot brand.
Events will be live streamed and published on Polkadots official crowdcast. All events are communicated with the official Berlin Blockchain Week events organization TG channel and will be also published on the official events calendar.
Note regarding beneficiary address:
Due to the fact that the individuals representing different parachains submitting this proposal are unable to off-ramp the KSM to pay the cost of the event. The Parity Finance will assist by helping off-ramp the KSM and pay for cost of the events. None of the funds will go to Parity directly.
