**Short description:**

An 8 to 10-month academy focusing on Polkadot technology represents a pivotal strategic initiative to accelerate the adoption and expansion of the Polkadot ecosystem. This academy will not only provide access to high-quality educational curriculum tailored to the nuances and specific applications of Polkadot blockchain technology but will also act as a catalyst for nurturing new proficient developers within this platform. By offering comprehensive training that spans from basic to advanced concepts, participants will gain the necessary skills to innovate and make significant contributions to the ecosystem. Furthermore, this initiative is poised to foster a stronger and more diverse developer community, empowering professionals to tackle complex challenges and develop innovative decentralized solutions. The expected impact includes not only enlarging the talent pool of technically adept individuals to work with Polkadot but also strengthening the network, promoting innovation, and accelerating the adoption of blockchain technologies across various industries.

**Introduction**

With the number of developers in Brazil increasing and the country positioning itself as an expanding market in the blockchain technology scene, emerging technologies such as Solana, Avalanche, Ethereum, Cosmos, and Polygon view Brazil as fertile ground for innovation and adoption. However, a common challenge faced by all these technologies is the scarcity of qualified developers or a solid base of developers familiar with their specific programming languages and SDKs.

**The Need**

We have identified a critical need to expand the base of skilled developers in Brazil, not just to meet current demand but also to position the country as a leader in the development of innovative blockchain solutions. The programming language Rust, along with Polkadot's SDK in Substrate and the programming language Ink!, are specific areas where the demand for skills significantly exceeds supply.

**The Proposal: Polkadot Development Academy**

In response to this need, the Brazilian Business Development team of Polkadot, funded by a specific referendum, in conjunction with the Technological Training School Código Brazuca, proposes the creation of an academy dedicated to attracting and training developers in Polkadot technology. This program aims to equip participants with knowledge ranging from the basics of programming and algorithms to advanced development in Rust, using Polkadot's SDK in Substrate.

**Program Objectives**

The program aims to train between 100 developers highly skilled in Polkadot technology, divided into teaching modalities:

**Online:** Targeted at 75 participants, offering flexibility and accessibility for those unable to participate in person.

**In-person:** Providing 25 spots for those who prefer or benefit more from a classroom learning experience.

**Expected Impact**

The initiative seeks not only to fill the existing gap of qualified developers in emerging blockchain technologies in Brazil but also to stimulate innovation and the development of projects that can place the country at the forefront of blockchain technology. By doing so, we aim to contribute significantly to economic and technological growth and position Brazil as a center of excellence in blockchain.

**Importance for Business and Partnerships**

This initiative is also critically important for businesses and the establishment of partnerships with companies looking to develop on Polkadot and its ecosystem. By creating a skilled pool of developers familiar with Polkadot's technology, we are enabling the foundation for robust business collaborations and innovative projects. Partnerships with companies are essential for applying the developed skills in real-world scenarios, thereby fostering the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem and providing tangible benefits to the Brazilian economy through technology transfer, job creation, and enhanced technological capabilities.

**Conclusion**

The collaboration between Polkadot's Brazilian Business Development team and Código Brazuca represents a strategic and innovative step to address the challenge of the shortage of qualified developers in Brazil. With a clear focus on developing competencies in Rust, Substrate, and Ink!, this academy promises not only to train the next generation of blockchain experts in Brazil but also to open doors for new technological and economic development opportunities in the country. This effort will be pivotal in enhancing business opportunities and fostering partnerships that will drive the future of blockchain technology in Brazil and beyond.

### Developers in Brazil

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/QQeRddvsv_1qYrsTkWFDy4RpU8CrkUZKTiovadGfc1p5xtFlcn4XtsojtjT1XLPaZ2l54ja31smQNtIkArEdAM1058LbbJk-hict2nX7NA8aGQJ72RSX2aMVHreO1XhFY_wZYjUlNEw-pYGJBdR9kxc)

The software developer community in Brazil is one of the most vibrant and rapidly growing in the world, reflecting the growing importance of technology and innovation in the Brazilian economy and society. With a robust technological ecosystem, Brazil has stood out not only in Latin America but globally as a significant hub for information technology talent and software development.

**Size and Growth**

Although specific figures may vary according to different sources, it is estimated that Brazil has over 400,000 software developers, with forecasts indicating continued growth in this number. This is partly due to investments in technological education and the increasing interest of younger generations in technology-related careers.

**Education and Training**

Brazil boasts a strong network of higher education and technical institutions offering courses related to information technology, including software development, computer science, and computer engineering. Additionally, there's a proliferation of bootcamps, online courses, and training programs that facilitate the rapid development of specific programming and technology skills, enabling more people to enter the profession.

## About Código Brazuca

The "Código Brazuca" is an edtech initiative born with the purpose of transforming lives and making a real impact on our society. Created by professionals who have been working in the technology market for over 20 years, it focuses today on a program that not only trains the workforce but also prepares individuals for the challenges of the current world.

We select people at risk in underserved communities and their surroundings, placing them in classrooms with professional training programs lasting from 6 to 10 months. Throughout this journey, everyone learns programming logic, Python programming, financial education, family planning, market types, personal and corporate soft skills, entrepreneurship, learning how to study, current technologies, and mainly web 3 with blockchains.

Our differential is our KPI of 85% each completed class, where developers have already been employed in technology companies. Therefore, students who often enter the program with the sole expectation of learning a new profession leave with their lives transformed, ready to apply their knowledge in their personal lives, surroundings, and jobs.

To sustain the operation of the Código Brazuca Program, we rely on investments from companies and individuals, to cover locations, specialized technical staff, training with our educational method, transportation for all students in the course, including their daily meals, and classroom equipment.

Our main purpose is to Transform Lives through technology education, thus generating jobs and new perspectives and qualified labor for the national and international job market.

Additionally, the company works on projects focused on web3, ranging from creating on-chain and off-chain solutions to operating in the dapps development, metaverse experiences, and education markets.

The DOTisDED team changed their funding strategy based on community feedback. They decided to cancel Referendum #556 and support the DED Bounty Fund #556 instead. This new plan aims to create a $1 billion value asset with a $10 million fund, which they believe is a more reasonable and fair approach.

referendum_canceller

After discussing with the other members of the DOTisDED team, who initially provided feedback and supported this referendum, have later pivoted referendum funding strategy based on community sentiment from a _proposal by proposal_ approach to a DED Bounty Fund.  
  
The community feedback has lead to Referendum #556.  
  
I agree DED cannot truly succeed with just this technical budget and tentative future contributor proposals that are not well received. Therefore i will cancel this referendum and allow for the DED Bounty Fund #556 to play out.

A DED bounty fund will give DED the best chances of success, while retaining the core value of 100% fair distribution.   
  
$10m fund to aim for >$1bn value asset, is rational and reasonable odds. Dreaming of a zillion dollar token on bootstrap budget is a bad odds and waste of time and reputation.

WHAT: Pivot from a proposal by proposal approach to a DED Bounty Fund, cancel Referendum #556, and create a $10m fund to aim for >$1bn value asset.

The proposal aims to strengthen DOT on-chain liquidity and provide better order execution for anyone trading DOT on HydraDX. The requested amount is 1,000,000 DOT, and the proposal was made on 08-03-24.

Polkadot Hydration: Treasury LP

- Polkadot Treasury is helping with the maintenance of software called ORML and other public projects.
- The Acala team is doing most of this work, but others are also helping.
- Some contributors' efforts weren't included in the funding proposal.
- A person named Bryan mentioned this issue in comments.
- There is a suggestion to reward a contributor named CertainLach.
- CertainLach has worked on ORML for the past year.
- Their work can be seen on a special website for the project.

Polkadot Treasury will fund maintenance work on ORML and Chopsticks public goods. A proposal suggests tipping CertainLach, who has contributed to ORML for the past year, as their work was not covered by the previous proposal.

DED foundation is deciding whether to prioritize speed of execution or seek funds from the Treasury. Memes are important in the community as they bring people together through humor and a sense of belonging. A tool for airdrop and distribution of meme coins will be open source. A referendum is being held to see if the community wants to fund DED long-term, asking for 1 million DOT. Voting yes means 100% of DED tokens will be distributed to DOT holders, while voting no means a smaller amount will be distributed and private investors and influencers will be involved. The goal is to understand the community's long-term view on funding DED.

UPDATE 2: DED foundation has resolved to prioritize speed of execution and will not be seeking funds from the Treasury -- UPDATE: Memes serve as a bridge in our community, blending humor with cohesion. They remind us to laugh at ourselves, fostering a sense of belonging. Through shared amusement, memes bring us closer, highlighting our collective journey with light-heartedness and unity. Any tool created by this bounty for airdrop and distribution of meme coins will be made open source so that any other meme coin creator can use it for their own meme coin -- With this referendum we are asking 1 million DOT for future funding of DED Based on several Twitter polls I have the feeling that the community is against funding this meme coin for the long run in order to make it a success This referendum is designed to understand if there is appetite in funding DED for the long run or not, it doesn't mean the 1 million have to be entirely spent but they could be spent if it will lead to effective results The point is we have to decide if to airdrop 100% of the DED tokens or not If we airdrop 100% of the tokens we have to be sure that we have funds from the treasury to support the development and marketing of DED Because if we airdrop 100% and then the community doesn't want to continue funding DED we basically run out of ammunition, we cannot sell DED tokens to private investors or give them to influencers Voting yes to this referendum means that 100% of the supply will be distributed to DOT holders as initially planned Voting no means that a smaller amount will be distributed to DOT holders and private investors will be involved and some tokens will also be given to influencers I will abstain from voting on this referendum because the goal is to sense the long-term view of the community regarding funding DED For context: https://x.com/giottodf/status/1765800732735815823?s=20 https://x.com/giottodf/status/1765970981842006224?s=20 Curators: TBD

The DED foundation is proposing a referendum to ask for 1 million DOT for future funding. The referendum aims to understand if there is appetite for long-term funding of DED. Voting yes means 100% of the supply will be distributed to DOT holders, while voting no means a smaller amount will be distributed and private investors and influencers will be involved. The proposal does not specify a timeframe or resources needed.

Polkadot Music Events Initiative (PMEI) is a project that creates music events with web3 experiences to make the Polkadot ecosystem more accessible. They are planning 3 live events and 1 livestream event for 2024. PMEI worked with Distractive at ETH Denver to increase Polkadot's visibility. They are asking for treasury support to continue driving users into the ecosystem in a fun way. Their last event at ETH Denver was a success, with nearly 2000 substrate wallets and over 5500 attendees. The team behind PMEI has experience in the music industry, event organizing, and Polkadot ecosystem marketing. They believe music and web3 can solve real-world issues and create a better outcome for fans and artists. Their events focus on accessibility, hard and fast implementation, and ownership and perpetuity. The team includes core members and support from other organizations. The events feature gamified ticketing, live auctions, art exhibitions, and more, all incorporating Polkadot technology.

Polkadot Music Events Initiative // {bash} Events — Tranche for \[3 Live Events and 1 Livestream Event 2024\]

PMEI / {bash} produces music events with intuitive web3 experiences, making the Polkadot ecosystem far more accessible. At our events, all attendees engage with Polkadot tech, making it a fun and measurable brand deposit.

We are currently working alongside Distractive to strategically align with the greater Polkadot marketing efforts. At ETH Denver this was paramount in creating 360 degree visibility for Polkadot —

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

We are asking for treasury support for **3 full-scale** events, and a **virtual** ([Boiler Room](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBShgx0wWBw) style) event.

Our latest event, {bash} the Official ETH Denver Closing party was a massive success which is why we are looking for treasury support, to continue driving users into the ecosystem in a fun and approachable way.

[Recap Video here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SHn8ZlBl5g)

**Key metrics:**

Previously, the largest onboarding event was run by another team that was granted ~$150K and drove 98 onboarded wallets. For ETH Denver, {bash} drove home nearly **2000** substrate wallets and over **5500** attendees. We achieved this with only ~$80K from the events bounty.

With proper treasury support for a small group of events, we can focus on doing our absolute best job with integrations, and come back where the community can see the ongoing success and evaluate as we go.

This proposal is for (3) live events held during major crypto conferences and (1) livestream production

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**Live Events**

-   Consensus (Austin, TX) May 2024
-   Polkadot Decoded (Brussels, BE) July 2024
-   Mainnet September (New York City, NY) 2024

**Live Stream Events**

-   TBA, (Ibiza, Spain) August 2024

Context 

Where the live events are becoming a highly-proven model, we believe that there's tremendous opportunity in produced livestreams. Our vision is to partner with large dance music streaming channels, book artists with incredible social reach, and engage with Polkadot teams to create in-stream drops. Based on other successful live streams that our team has been apart of, we anticipate high levels of engagement and will continue to produce more of these in the future. 

**Why Music and Web3?**

On many levels, music is an incredible vertical where blockchain can solve real world issues and create a higher quality and more equitable outcome for the fans and the artists. Polkadot should, and can be a phenomenal arena for music in web3 to grow and incubate necessary advances in technology and culture, alike. Many Polkadot projects already have products that can actively help advance this, directly and immediately, through the experience around live music events. 

We think of these events as a clever way to accomplish a few things that are ultimately required for the growth of the ecosystem- more specifically onboarding new users, new entrepreneurs and new developers. 

How are we accomplishing this?

Glad you asked! Each event will focus on three key elements to funnel into our larger goal for adoption and usage. 

Accessibility - Prioritizing an intuitive experience for ALL attendees

Hard and Fast Implementation - UX/ UI builds and backend abstraction, specific to the event series, but open source for the community. This gives developers a chance to work together on the specific needs of the events while having a vehicle for easy user onboarding.

Ownership and Perpetuity - A focus on creating brand loyalty through community, collectibles, cross-ecosystem collaboration and compounded benefits for ongoing/ repeat attendance. 

These three principles help us define the conditions for success and measure qualitative and quantitative outcomes. 

For our events, the goal is to take measurable and attainable steps in implementing new attendee experiences and advancing the music tech stack.

What Happens at a {bash} Event?

A great outcome for us is when an attendee says “that was awesome, but 3% weird”. Sure, there’s always networking and great conversations. Yes, we have great music- our events are designed to feature artists appropriately booked for the venue and conference demographic. However, a key value-add is how uniquely positioned we are as a team and an ecosystem to amplify the attendee experience for high-quality music events.

Ok, so where does Polkadot tech play in? 

An example of an event looks like this:

(Think of these parts as modular)

**Pre-event**

Gamified ticketing access

Digital ticket airdrops

**Event**

Wallet downloads / ticketing

Live auctions

Art Exhibitions

Live Gaming

The Paseo testnet bounty is a proposal for a decentralized, community-run testnet for Polkadot. The proposal does not request funds but aims to set curators for the bounty. There are four proposed curators: Birdo, Chaosdao Multisig (2/3), Erin Grasmick (Parity Devops), and Wil Wade (Frequency). A multisig has been set up with these curators, and individual signers are listed. The Chaosdao Multisig consists of three key members selected for their participation in Polkadot governance and other bounties. All child bounties will be voted on within Chaosdao governance and enacted by the multisig signers. Links to the curator submission, original discussion, forum post, treasury proposal, and Paseo.network website are provided for more information.

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone that voted in favour of the Paseo testnet bounty — we believe that having a decentralised, community run testnet is not only an important step for Polkadot, but it also sets a blueprint of how the community can lead initatives.

This proposal is not requesting any funds and is only to set the curators for the Paseo Testnet bounty. The curators were already listed in the proposal, but I have made a shorter version for review, specifically for voting on this proposal. 

There will be 4 proposed curators with a 3/4 threshold.  
Curator members are: Birdo, Chaosdao Multisig (2/3), Erin Grasmick (Parity Devops), Wil Wade (Frequency).

The multisig has been setup already with the proposed curators.

Token Terminal and Parity Data have proposed a plan to integrate Polkadot's ecosystem data into Token Terminal's product suite. This will allow Polkadot data to be shared directly with major partners like Bloomberg, MarketVector, and Coinbase SMA, giving Polkadot more exposure to institutional investors. Here are the main points:

1. Token Terminal will create a data pipeline for Polkadot, which is needed for their partnerships with Bloomberg and MarketVector.
2. This will let Polkadot's data be shared with Bloomberg and make DOT eligible for MarketVector indexes, which will be shown on Coinbase SMA platform.
3. Token Terminal already covers data for 16 other blockchain networks.
4. Parity Data will help with data integration by providing expertise and access to important information.
5. The plan will include data from all active Polkadot parachains and create a unified dataset on Token Terminal's web platform.
6. Polkadot's data will be available on all of Token Terminal's data products and channels, including the Bloomberg Terminal.
7. There will be a research article and podcast episode about Polkadot's data and ecosystem.
8. DOT will be eligible for Token Terminal-powered cryptoasset indexes.
9. The Parity team will have access to Token Terminal's data products to check the integrated data.
10. Parachains will get more exposure to investors and decision-makers through unbiased metrics.
11. The partnership will last for 16 months and cover integration and maintenance.

This integration will help Polkadot be more visible in the global blockchain analytics space and reach a wider audience of investors and decision-makers.

Not only will the data be accessible, but most importantly the readily computed metrics with the appropriate definitions. ## Executive summary 1. ① Token Terminal will build and maintain a full-stack end-to-end data pipeline for Polkadot → this data ownership is a direct requirement from the demand side of Token Terminal’s institutional partnerships with \*\*Bloomberg and MarketVector\*\*, as a prerequisite for Token Terminal’s crypto data to be featured for investor and TradFi audience on their platforms 2. ② Everything sourced through this model, where Token Terminal operates the infrastructure and data pipelines, unlocks direct data sharing with Bloomberg, and eligibility of DOT native token for MarketVecotor indexes, which are announced to be propagated to \[Coinbase SMA platform\]() (marketing window to institutional investors and private wealth asset managers) 3. ③ Token Terminal currently covers 16 competitor blockchain networks 4. ④ In this way Parity Data will \*\*facilitate data integration\*\* by providing data engineering and analytics expertise for Substrate data, access to DotLake for QA purposes, relevant codebase, and unblocking all technical questions that arise during the project. 5. ⑤ This initiative will integrate data across all active Polkadot parachains (as blockchains, not businesses) connected to the Polkadot relay chain (\\~50), as well as establish \*\*parachain price feed\*\*, resulting in a unified dataset on Token Terminal’s web platform. 6. ⑥ Polkadot’s data (and its application ecosystem) would be available across all of Token Terminal’s data products & channels (incl. the Bloomberg Terminal) 7. ⑦ Polkadot’s data (and its application ecosystem) \*\*would be covered in long-form research article & fundamentals podcast episode\*\* (TT 300k monthly visits, X 100k followers, Newsletter 40k subscribers, YouTube 5k subscribers) 8. ⑧ Polkadot’s native token \*\*DOT\*\* would become \*\*eligible for Token Terminal-powered cryptoasset indexes\*\*, the first of which was \*\*launched in collaboration with \[MarketVector\]() (owned by VanEck) in late ‘23.\*\* 9. ⑨ The Team supporting the integration from Parity side would get access to \*\*all three (3) of Token Terminal’s data products\*\*, in order to perform QA of integrated data. 10. ⑩ Parachain exposure - the full Polkadot ecosystem's integration into Token Terminal’s platform will offer parachain projects unprecedented exposure to investors and decision-makers through unbiased metrics. This opens us an opportunity for Token Terminal to do bilateral deep-dives with parachain founders to highlight specific use cases and value propositions of Polkadot parachains. 11. ⑪ The partnership will span \*\*16 months covering integration and maintenance\*\*. \## Proposal Details - \*\*Duration\*\*: 16 months - \*\*Requested Funding\*\*: 171,827 DOT - \*\*Implementation\*\*: Phased integration and maintenance, ensuring full coverage of Polkadot’s ecosystem across Token Terminal’s platforms. - \*\*Collaboration Basis\*\*: Token Terminal approached Parity Data due to a year-long successful collaboration on increasing Polkadot and Kusama relay chain metrics coverage on their platform (mainly API sourced and therefore not eligible for further data propagation to Bloomberg), ultimately advocating for a full Polkadot ecosystem integration. - \*\*Pre-Proposal Actions\*\*: Parity Data shared detailed information on DotLake to enable Token Terminal to make an informed decision on the integration effort required, which was reflected in the lower total cost and timeline, than it would have been in case of a linear non-chain-agnostic onboarding without expert support. - \*\*Integration Uniqueness\*\*: This partnership marks the first full Polkadot ecosystem data integration by a platform vendor independently, offering a vertically integrated data supply chain for complete metric auditability directly by platform owner. - \*\*Parachain Benefits\*\*: Parachains gain unprecedented exposure to investors and decision-makers through unbiased metrics on Token Terminal’s platform, enhancing their visibility within the crypto space. \## Strategic Importance & Value for the Ecosystem This integration stands to position Polkadot prominently on the global blockchain analytics map, filling a critical gap in market analysis and investment insight, especially for those with a traditional finance background. By leveraging Token Terminal's established reputation and technical infrastructure, we can ensure that Polkadot’s unique value proposition reaches a broader, more diversified audience of investors and decision-makers. As a platform with a \*\*unique distribution outside of the retail-driven crypto community\*\*, Token Terminal is uniquely positioned to help crypto protocols attract mindshare among a new and growing stakeholder base: \*\*institutional investors\*\*. Since these investors often manage outside capital, access to high-quality and standardized data becomes paramount especially given the prospect of an upcoming market upturn. Looking forward to your feedback, questions and suggestions. We’ll collate and keep a record of all questions and answers coming from different channels in this unified doc → \[Token Terminal x Polkadot proposal Q&A\](). Thank you, Parity Data Team

Token Terminal proposes to integrate Polkadot's ecosystem data into its product suite, enabling direct data sharing with major partners such as Bloomberg, MarketVector, and Coinbase SMA. The proposal requests 171,827 DOT for a 16-month integration and maintenance period. The initiative will integrate data across all active Polkadot parachains, establish a parachain price feed, and make Polkadot's data available across all of Token Terminal's data products and channels. Polkadot's native token DOT would become eligible for Token Terminal-powered cryptoasset indexes. The partnership will span 16 months covering integration and maintenance.

The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app is a proposal to create an educational resource for Polkadot and blockchain technologies in the local language, focusing on Ethiopia and Africa. The app aims to address the lack of representation and educational resources in Amharic, which is a barrier to Polkadot's growth in Ethiopia. The app will provide structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support to help users learn about blockchain technology.

The problem is that Polkadot needs more recognition compared to its competitors like Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Cardano. Ethiopia has started to adopt blockchain technology, but there is a lack of educational resources in Amharic. The proposal suggests that the AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app will help fill this gap and empower individuals to understand and contribute to the Polkadot ecosystem.

The app will track progress effectively through assessments, user feedback mechanisms, and measurable skill development features. It will have a positive impact on the Polkadot community by contributing to diversity, knowledge contribution, and global accessibility. The proposal includes a scope of work that covers platform development, content creation, testing and optimization, community engagement, marketing and promotion, and documentation and reporting.

The proposal has a proven track record in app development, education technology, and team management, and is an official partner with Microsoft Startup Founder Hub. The cost, budget, justification, resources, and teams are detailed in the documentation.

**Short description:**  
The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app aims to build and provide comprehensive and accessible educational resources in the local language, focusing on Polkadot and blockchain technologies. It targets users in Ethiopia and Across Africa, fostering a deeper understanding and contribution to the Polkadot ecosystem. 

  
**Problem:**  
Despite the significant growth in the number of interested individuals and the maturity of the Ethiopian, Polkadot needs more representation in all aspects. Even though the project has a robust technological foundation and a high degree of innovation, it needs recognition compared to its direct competitors, such as Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Cardano, which have more technology-related content on the Internet  
platform.

As of official Bloomberg Research, While Ethiopia officially bans cryptocurrency trading, it legalized Bitcoin mining in 2022, opening the door for Chinese investment and Ethiopia is Starting to adopt blockchain. Bloomberg's investigation revealed that 19 out of 21 companies partnering with Ethiopia's power monopoly are Chinese.

Also News starting from 2022 are talking about ethiopian government adopting blockchain and cryptocurrency

It's worth noting that in the last two years, Polkadot has only surpassed the Cosmos network regarding brand awareness. And for that to be available in ethiopian The absence of comprehensive educational resources in Amharic for learning about Polkadot blockchain technology in Ethiopia is needed.

**Proposal:**  
The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app aims to address this gap by providing structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support in the native language.  
  
**Existing Solution:**  
While numerous platforms offer educational resources in various languages, predominantly English, there's a noticeable **absence of projects or proposals catering to Polkadot and blockchain education in Amharic and other African languages.** Currently, such resources are lacking, hindering the accessibility of blockchain knowledge and contribution in native contexts. Our app aims to fill this gap by empowering individuals and fostering a deeper understanding of blockchain within Ethiopia and eventually across Africa.

  
As of now Ethiopian and most of African are not adaptable to blockchain Technology, Ethiopian government are signed to adapt it after 2022, But there is still not yet started

_AmharicChain Academy doesn't just **impart** knowledge;_ it also tracks progress effectively. Through assessments, user feedback mechanisms, and measurable skill development features, users can tangibly see their educational journey unfold. This not only boosts motivation but also enables users to showcase their newfound skills confidently.  
As a blockchain community member in ethiopia me and other member are given some course and discussion related to blockchain in **ethiopian university**

**Impact**  
**Positive Impact on the Polkadot Community**: The AmharicChain Academy will contribute to diversity, knowledge contribution, and global accessibility within the Polkadot ecosystem. And the connectivity of starting points with this technology can be found there on the link
