The Hungarian Polkadot DAO proposes a 6-month initiative to cultivate a vibrant Polkadot presence in Hungary and Central-Eastern Europe. The proposal seeks core funding for two dedicated managers ($5200/month/pp compensation) to coordinate activities, while all project-specific work (events, marketing, development) will be funded through existing Polkadot bounties (Events, Marketing, Fast Grants, and Open Source Developer bounties).
Please see the Full proposal here.
Hungary represents an ideal hub for Polkadot expansion due to its combination of high-skilled IT workforce (ranked 5th globally for developers), strong blockchain heritage (home to Web2 successes like Prezi, LogMeIn), high crypto adoption rates (20-26% ownership), and strategic geographic position in Central Europe. The country's historical experience with decentralisation resonates with Web3 values, while its cohesive local crypto community has repeatedly delivered impactful initiatives.
The Hungarian Polkadot DAO has demonstrated significant impact since 2021:
Hybrid approach: Core managers receive monthly compensation from treasury; all project activities route through existing bounties to maintain decentralisation and clarity:
This approach ensures continuous management oversight while avoiding concentrated budget requests and maintaining alignment with Polkadot's strategic priorities.
The requested 88,000 USDC will be paid out in two tranches to our pure proxy multisig:
6-month duration starting in January:
Should the university integration fail due to circumstances beyond the DAO's control, the team commits to immediately returning allocated funds to treasury (7,600 USDC for PBA-X subscriptions and coordination fees) along with any other unused funds.
This proposal builds directly on the proven success of Polkadot Africa Builder Program and OpenGuild SEA initiative, adapting their models for Central-Eastern European context while maintaining fiscal responsibility through bounty-based project funding.
