This proposal has been resubmitted because of the error in the onchain budget which showed the value as 62,900 DOTS instead of 62,900 USDT.

Following the feedback from our last application in May, we’ve been working hard to showcase our commitment to the Polkadot ecosystem with initiatives entirely self-funded and without any support from Polkadot or its subsidiaries. Some of which include: 

• Polkadot 2.0 Developer Training: We hosted a hands-on developer session for over 100 participants, aimed at breaking down the complexities of Polkadot 2.0. (Kindly check it out.)
• Smart Contract Campaign: We launched a campaign dedicated to building with the Polkadot SDK, driving awareness and encouraging adoption among developers in our network.

This treasury proposal aims to expand on these efforts by onboarding new developers and expanding the understanding of Polkadot's SDK for dApp development in Nigeria(and beyond), where misconceptions limit its adoption. Through comprehensive training, bootcamps, and hackathons, our goal is to demonstrate Polkadot’s versatility beyond parachains, empowering developers to build impactful decentralized applications on Polkadot’s robust ecosystem and establishing it as a vital player in the region’s growing tech landscape.
