As part of our university engagement programme (see [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1LLFxCpO7y1fyIfcdTpDQGkbuPoGy2mFvlusYb1tTe74/edit#slide=id.gc2bb29227c_0_1294)), we would like to request our third phase of funding ($27,000) to pay hackathon prizes. 

The amount we are therefore requesting is 658.30 DOT (based on the 30 day moving average of 41.015 according to [Subscan](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price)) to pay the prizewinners in the hackathon. 

Please find a report of the hackathon and list of prizewinners in the tranche 2 report [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/574).


This proposal aims to enhance smoldot light client functionality and reliability within the Polkadot ecosystem. Led by Pierre Krieger, it aims to improve security, user experience, and developer tools. Previous milestones include web worker support and child tries implementation. The upcoming quarter focuses on maintenance, refining discovery processes, refactoring syncing code, and implementing JSON-RPC for full node. Totaling 240 hours, the budget emphasizes code quality over strict milestone completion.
