This proposal aims provide funding for the 2023 Polkadot Summer Hackathon by Oneblock in China - for operations and prizes.

OneBlock, in collaboration with Parity Asia, successfully organized, operated and promoted the four Polkadot Hackathons in March 2021,June 2021,June 2022 and December 2022. OneBlock propose to continue the Polkadot Hackathon program in summer 2023, an essential part of the Substrate promotion and adoption initiatives in China, to promote Substrate as an open-source framework for developers and convert the Substrate learners from OneBlock’s ongoing Substrate courses to Substrate builders.

The polkadot hackathon in 2021 to 2022 was a success and it indeed helped to promote Substrate as an open-source framework for developers and convert the Substrate students from our ongoing Substrate courses to actually use Substrate to build projects. Receiving warm feedback from the developers, OneBlock decided to have 2023 polkadot summer hackathon and hereby submit this proposal for the necessary financial support on this event.
