### POLKAWARRIORS' PROPOSAL!

### Short description:
PolkaWarriors aims to foster closer ties between the Polkadot ecosystem and the community through active engagements. Our goal is to cultivate a robust and collaborative community of Polkadot enthusiasts in Vietnam, spanning from newcomers to advanced users, in order to propel the growth and evolution of the Polkadot ecosystem. 

Outlined in this proposal is a comprehensive 6-month (~26 weeks) plan designed to amplify Polkadot's presence within the Vietnamese community. Additionally, we aim to showcase the practical applications and advantages of our innovative blockchain technology in addressing real-world financial challenges.

### Problem statement:
Despite Vietnam's booming crypto market, Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems remain surprisingly under the radar. With only 20,000 individuals in Polkadot-related Facebook groups, even their vibrant tech community remains largely unaware of its immense potential. 

This untapped opportunity is glaring. The lack of Vietnamese language materials and limited marketing/communication efforts are holding Polkadot back from attracting both end-users and the talented Vietnamese developers seeking cutting-edge solutions. 
The time to act is now. Bridging this awareness gap is crucial to securing a significant foothold in this rapidly growing market. Comprehensive marketing and communication campaigns are essential to educate and excite Vietnamese developers and users about the transformative power of Polkadot. By ignoring this call, we risk missing out on a wave of innovation and growth. 

Let's unlock Vietnam's potential and unleash the full force of Polkadot in this thriving crypto landscape.

### So, what we need to do now?
PolkaWarriors' proven track record in research, educational content creation, and engaging community events, coupled with our local expertise and dedicated team, empowers us to execute a comprehensive plan for boosting Polkadot's visibility and fostering a thriving Vietnamese Polkadot ecosystem through online and offline channels.

### In case you haven't known us:
PolkaWarriors isn't just a community, it's a catalyst. We spark conversations, ignite minds, and empower users to dive deep into the Polkadot ecosystem. Our diverse team of 20+ experts in tech, finance, marketing, and branding crafts engaging educational products and fosters dynamic discussions around every corner of the Polkadot universe. From a small spark, we've become a beacon, and now aim to illuminate Vietnam's path to Polkadot adoption.

### Our main goals:
- Fostering a dynamic technical community in Vietnam focused on Polkadot's technology. 
- Raising awareness of the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem among Vietnamese newcomers. 
- Strengthening the community through active engagement and connections, aiming to inspire other creators to delve into the ecosystem's possibilities. 
- Demonstrating to the community the intriguing tools evolving within this ecosystem.

### What will we do in the next 6 months?
1. Polkadot educational materials for the Vietnamese community. 
2. News update & market research.
3. Short-form content videos (tutorials, Q&A, interview).
4. Establishment of a local Polkadot Community in Vietnam. 
5. Offline meetup events for Vietnamese community.
6. Workshops for Vietnamese students.
7. Business Development for the ecosystem.
8. Promotion for Substrate course by the Lowlevelers team.
