In Ref#762 (https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/762), we requested a total of $1,337,000 for an exclusive blockchain sponsorship of HEROIC esports.
Since then, we have successfully launched the partnership, established the Marketing Council with Polkadot community members (Leemo, Evan, and Olli + Nate from Distractive) to work on the first marketing campaign, and we are confirmed to do a keynote and stand at Decoded.
Unfortunately, due to a price drop, we received the payment when the price of DOT was $6.18 (29.06.24 at 10:40AM) and we are asking for a top up to cover the difference. This is to make sure we have the budget to cover all agreed marketing deliverables in the partnership agreement.
Top up request
A group asked for $1,337,000 to sponsor HEROIC esports on a blockchain. They started working with Polkadot community members on a marketing campaign and will have a keynote and stand at Decoded. But because the price of DOT dropped, they only got $1,231,427 and need an extra $105,573 to cover all the marketing plans they agreed to.
