We are asking for money (called tranches 2 and 3) to pay for two events: an online hackathon and the Decoded hackathon. We need £95,000 in DOT to cover these events. Here's what the money will be used for:

1. Paying for the first online hackathon prizes (£10,000 in DOT)
2. Running the second online hackathon (£15,000 in DOT)
3. Running an in-person hackathon at Decoded (£60,000 in DOT)
4. Paying for the in-person hackathon prizes (£10,000 in DOT)

We need this money earlier than planned because the in-person hackathon is happening sooner than we thought.

The proposal requests funding of £95k in DOT for two completed events - an online hackathon and the Decoded hackathon. The funding covers prizes and running costs for both events, with £25k requested in April 2023 and £70k in July 2023. The in-person hackathon has been moved to an earlier date, hence the request for funding at this earlier stage.
