Requested Allocation: **USD$51,227.74**

In December 2022, AngelHack proposed to run two Polkadot Global Series hackathons in both the Europe and APAC regions for 2023. This was done in effort to continue bridging existing gaps within the Web3 space through active engagements with the ecosystem teams and wider Polkadot community. Subsequently, the forming of such stronger connections within the community will also allow for easier onboarding of more developers across a diverse range of backgrounds.

We have since concluded our final proposal milestone for our Global Series hackathon held in APAC.

**This proposal hence serves two objectives:**

- Providing a detailed recap of the recently concluded virtual Polkadot Hackathon Global Series: APAC Edition, as well as the in-person dotSocial: Seoul event that took place during Korea Blockchain Week 2023 in September.
- Providing a budget breakdown and metrics report to request **a $51,227.74 USD reimbursement** as our fourth and final payment milestone of event expenses for dotSocial: Seoul (as per our original treasury proposal).
