Hey Everyone!

We’re delighted to give a full update on our progress so far!

**Progress Summary**

In summary, we have now successfully achieved Milestone 1 and Milestone 2! We started by opening this educational opportunity to more parachains/projects and preparing the full content framework. We have now collected key feedback from developers and parachain/project teams and utilised it to create the content for the challenges. We have also created a totally new design and UX for the Polkadot challenges to make them stand out. We are in the very final stages of approving all the content to go live in the app for release. 

We’re super excited that on the IRL hackathons side, we have also finalised the hackathon dates and locations. We have been inviting key developer groups and Polkadot parachains to attend the hackathon and will be leveraging our connections with core blockchain clubs to ensure a brilliant pipeline of builders at the hackathons!

Our next step is to make a huge push to get everyone building on Polkadot in the run-up to the IRL hackathons. We’re currently working with the participating parachains/projects on a detailed social media and activations strategy!

**Full Progress Report**

We have written up the fully comprehensive progress report for Milestones 1 and 2 [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tvSCM9w8fSKxUBgTIuXNbhrdNWZUzpQHtORZxtyVAKE/edit?usp=sharing) for the community!

**Milestone 2 Requested Allocation Breakdown**

We would therefore like to request our Milestone 2 allocation so that we can proceed to Milestone 3 (hosting the 2 hackathons). 

Details for this milestone were discussed in our original discussion post [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1585), with the precise milestone and allocation breakdown [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oyip_eVdevsjijQQSkL_GPOE5YF-AEGgE_xhwCFLnt0/edit#bookmark=id.x3kscjjklocs). Our first milestone was approved (and second milestone request discussed) [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/353).

We're already seeing huge excitement around #60DaysOfPolkadot and can’t wait to see what everyone builds at the hackathons! See you there!
