Sub0 is the conference for developers building at every level of the Polkadot tech stack — from custom layer-1 blockchains to dApps and smart contracts, infrastructure, tooling, cross-chain interoperability solutions, and more. During this event, which took place in LX-Factory in Lisbon on September 19th and 20th, 2023, the event brought together the global Polkadot developer community. 

Sub0 provided an open introduction to next-generation multichain networks, as well as a chance for existing Polkadot and Substrate developers to deepen their skills and connect with each other. Separate content for experienced devs and those new to the ecosystem was made available. Each attendee could follow their own path by attending more intimate talks and workshops in the Starter and Builder spaces. Those who are new could learn about the Polkadot tech stack, Substrate, Web3, blockchain and walk away with a clear understanding of the ecosystem. Experienced builders were able to dive into technical topics, build during workshops, see new blockchain SDK tools, and hear about the latest developments on Polkadot and beyond.

Since the Event Bounty limits applications to amounts at around USD150’000, it was decided to post the final tranche of the proposal here.

This is the post-event report and the last tranche request. All costs submitted for this last tranche were backstopped by the Web 3.0 Technologies Foundation.

The Polkadot Developers Conference - sub0, hosted in Lisbon, Portugal, aimed to unite developers within the Polkadot ecosystem for learning, collaboration, and network expansion. This conference targeted both newcomers and experienced developers with workshops, panels, and demos on Polkadot's tech stack. A key goal was to attract 50% new developers from outside the ecosystem by utilizing strategic messaging, a selective ticketing process, and diverse programming. The proposal outlines the successful execution of the conference, detailing efforts to broaden Polkadot's appeal and foster community engagement.
