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:
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. Kindly review the full proposal via the link below:

Dear @Polkadot Dapps over Apps,
Thank you for your proposal. Our vote on this proposal is ABSTAIN. Below is a summary of our members' comments:
Some members acknowledged the value of promoting developer education and Polkadot adoption in Nigeria but raised concerns over the budget and proposal structure. Critics suggested the initiative might be better suited for the events bounty and noted issues such as an account without an identity and unaddressed feedback from past proposals. Supporters abstained, citing the initiative's progress and potential impact, though they recommended a reduced budget of $30K–$40K and increased involvement of ecosystem advisors to strengthen execution.
The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.
Kind regards,
Permanence DAO
