- New hubs are supported until the end of the year, with an hourly rate of under $21.
- Several locations, including Bled, Vietnam, Ljubljana, Budapest, Berlin, and Dubai, have shown interest in becoming Polkadot hubs.

Polkadot proposes to create community-operated spaces called Polkadot hubs, similar to hackerspaces. They aim to share their knowledge on how to initiate and run such hubs, with all content dedicated to Polkadot. The budget is under $21 per hour, and they have already established a hub in Indonesia's Denpasar region. They have received interest from 10+ locations worldwide and aim to support the creation of new hubs until the end of the year. The requested DOT allocation is 7915 DOT.

**Notifi Network Proposal Summary**

- **Objective**: Notifi Network seeks a grant from the Polkadot grant program to provide its cross-chain communication services to the Polkadot relay chain and its parachains.
- **Services**: Notifi offers a platform for web3 builders to send near real-time alerts to users, enhancing custom messaging and user engagement.
- **Support**: 16 parachains, wallets, and ecosystem partners have confirmed their need for Notifi's services and support the grant proposal.

- **Solution**: Notifi's platform bridges the communication gap, offering customizable, white-labeled communication tools for web3 dApps and monitoring smart contract events for tailored alerts.
- **Impact**: Improved notifications aim to boost user activation, engagement, and retention, crucial for Polkadot's growth.
- **Community Involvement**: Notifi seeks feedback from the Polkadot community on which parachains should be included in the initial rollout.
- **Full Proposal**: The detailed proposal can be reviewed [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y4Osu4gPyxpdAuYtz1xCL4QhnogvAixPNMdqdYTGrPw/edit).

Notifi Network is seeking a grant from Polkadot to cover the cost of providing its cross-chain communication and messaging infrastructure to Polkadot relay chain and its core ecosystem parachains. The platform aims to bridge the communication gap between web3 projects and its communities by providing a highly customizable, white-labelled communication platform that can be embedded natively into web3 dApps. The grant proposal is supported by 16 parachains, wallets, and ecosystem partners. The proposal aims to solve the pain point of building notifications and alerts within web3 and drive user activation, engagement, and retention.
