On behalf of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy team I am posting a bounty proposal as outlined in the document shared below;

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N97IHOtnRG7Djt27rDdi7kjTUIUwzjVvQxQmseLQm_E/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N97IHOtnRG7Djt27rDdi7kjTUIUwzjVvQxQmseLQm_E/edit?usp=sharing)

Some context; up until this point the treasury has funded various educational programs aimed at speeding the adoption of our technology, however, funding has been directed at creating and hosting the programs and has left participants to cover their own costs of attendance/participation. This limits the ability of some talented individuals who happen to live in socio-economically disadvantaged circumstances to participate in such events, which in turn stifles creation and adoption of the Polkadot ecosystem.

This proposal seeks reimbursement from the Polkadot treasury to cover Subscan's operation and maintenance costs from July to December 2022. Subscan plays a vital role as a block explorer and analytics tool for the Polkadot network. The reimbursement will cover expenses including server infrastructure, security measures, and personnel costs. Server infrastructure costs are estimated to support the network's smooth operation. Security measures ensure user data safety, while personnel costs reflect the dedicated team needed to maintain Subscan's functionality. This support ensures Subscan's continuous operation and contributes to the growth and development of the Polkadot network.
