Short description:
On Mar 2022, with the proposal of Proposal #97, which resulted in the passing of Motion #169, the StackUp Team embarked on delivering the Learn-and-Earn campaign for the Polkadot Hackathon Global Series 2022, targeting the onboarding of 150 developers onto the Polkadot ecosystem by educating them about the fundamentals of developing on Polkadot.
The Learn-and-Earn campaign was conducted through the StackUp - Tribe's newest business offering - a platform that rewards developers with monetary incentives for completing tasks that level up their skills and knowledge. StackUp breaks the typical learning journey into smaller, bite-sized pieces (that we call quests), offering users real currency rewards for finishing each quest. This format of smaller exercises with incremental rewards, encourages learners to tackle more quests and learn more, as well as encourages them to follow through and finish the quest.
Upon project commencement, $50k USD of the original $80k USD was sought and obtained as the initial allocation. Having completed the learn-and-earn campaign, we are pleased to announce the successful results, which can be viewed here: Program Report
Given the successful execution of the project, this proposal submission seeks to acquire the remaining portion of the allocation of $30k USD, marking the conclusion to this project. After which, the StackUp team will continue to find new opportunities to educate more developers about Polkadot and the various projects in the ecosystem.
