## Definition

For the purposes of this proposal, "Project" refers to any startup, mini-application, independent builder, collective, organization, charity, or group within the Polkadot ecosystem.



## Summary

Our team requests funding to integrate our "Fund the World" application (launched at Bitcoin Vegas in May) to the Polkadot ecosystem. We aim to create a comprehensive registrar of Polkadot Projects seeking support, increasing their visibility, facilitating connections, and driving ecosystem growth.



## Our Team

* **Frank Dierolf**: Senior Polkadot developer with strong European ecosystem connections (https://gitlab.com/frankbevr)
* **Trevor Parks**: Founder focused on creating elegant Web3 applications (github.com/trevorparks)
* **Watson Lewis-Rodriguez**: Cross-chain developer with extensive Web3 experience (https://github.com/5eh)



## Project Objectives (2-Month Timeline)

1. Create a comprehensive directory of Polkadot ecosystem Projects with in-depth contextual data
2. Develop customized components that funnel viewers directly corresponding applications
3. Build a metadata enhancing system for Projects to improve their search engine visibility
4. Connect potential donors, volunteers, and job seekers with Projects matching their personal interests



## Deliverables & Timeline

### Month 1

* **Project Database Development**
  * Create detailed profiles of active Polkadot ecosystem Projects
  * Integrate treasury wallets for optional direct donations and transactions
* **User Experience & Interface**
  * Develop interactive components to drive viewer engagement
  * Design conversion funnels to increase Project interactions
* **Community Building**
  * Establish dedicated social media accounts focused on Polkadot Projects
  * Cross-promote participating Projects to increase visibility
* **Educational Resources**
  * Create onboarding guides for new Polkadot developers
  * Develop resources to lower barriers to ecosystem participation

### Month 2

  * Finalize and announce verified Project listings
  * Coordinate with ecosystem influencers (e.g., The Kusamarian, WebZero)
* **Content & Communication**
  * Implement ongoing weekly newsletters highlighting new participants
  * Generate tailored Project profiles with optimized metadata
* **Technical Implementation**
  * Deploy production-ready application with Polkadot-specific features
  * Integrate wallet connections for seamless donations
* **Marketing & Optimization**
  * Execute social media strategy to drive adoption

## Expected Outcomes

1. **Comprehensive Registry**: A centralized database of Polkadot Projects for improved ecosystem communication
2. **Enhanced Visibility**: Improved search engine optimization for emerging Projects
3. **Developer Onboarding**: Clear pathways for new developers to join the Polkadot ecosystem
4. **Ecosystem Partnerships**: Opportunities for collaboration between aligned Projects



## Conclusion

By converting our Hackathon submission into Polkadot entirely, we will create a valuable resource that connects Projects with supporters, increases visibility for builders, and strengthens the overall ecosystem. We greatly appreciate your consideration of this proposal!
