This proposal aims provide funding for the Summer Polkadot Hackathon by Oneblock in [hangzhou], China - for operations and winners prizes. 

OneBlock is a dev community with the focus on the Substrate online courses and Substrate hackathon program for the Polkadot ecosystem in APAC. OneBlock is committed to advocate Substrate technology and cultivate the Substrate ecosystem. As early as the year of 2019, OneBlock already started the early efforts of Substrate courses and cultivated more than 1200 Substrate developers as of now. Lots of the students from the Substrate courses of OneBlock become founders, CTOs, and core developers of the early Polkadot ecosystem projects. We also successfully delivered the spring Substrate hackathon in March with over 110 participating individuals in 33 teams and a high-profile judging panel with the people from Parity core devs, top VCs, top blockchain tech medias, top community leaders, etc. 

[The first polkadot hackathon](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h9fsn9Yimic2PI53hjAGnFZShLQ8g6hSfDFYz4ujawY/edit#) in March 2021 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 a second (summer) Substrate hackathon and hereby submit this proposal for the necessary financial support on this event. 

This summer Substrate hackathon, along with the entire Substrate hackathon program of 2021,  has clear goals to 1) attract more Substrate enthusiasts to learn Substrate and participate in the Polkadot community, 2) influence developers with ambitions to deliver more high-quality Substrate-based projects and 3) build and grow a robust, diversified and healthy Substrate and Polkadot ecosystem.

This project's goal is to create a new metadata protocol friendly to offline devices and implement it in the most critical tools available: Ledger and Kampela, as well as create tools to port it to other wallets and key management devices, including Polkadot Vault. This will involve changing the runtime code to support a new method of transaction signing that would include a proof of metadata used for transaction rendering to the user.
