Polkadot Sanctuary - Retroactive Funding
The proposal emphasizes the dedicated efforts and achievements of Six (Polkadot Head Ambassador) and Gabo (Polkadot Ambassador) in the APAC region from January through the submission of this proposal and continuing until the end of the current year. These efforts involved initiating and organizing a self-sustainable physical space dedicated to Polkadot and community building. Our journey began with the establishment of the Polkadot Sanctuary, the first physical hub dedicated to our ecosystem, strategically located in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, to serve the growing local community.

We have demonstrated that with proper guidance, a physical location and its collective contributions can significantly benefit Polkadot. This includes enhancing awareness, fostering collaboration, attracting talent, accelerating adoption, and amplifying the network effect. As Polkadot continues its growth and evolution, these ongoing initiatives will play a pivotal role in ensuring its long-term sustainability, fostering innovation, and driving overall success within the ecosystem.
Disclaimer: This proposal's intention is not to seek funding for a physical hub or contribute to its sustainability. The purpose of this proposal is to request retroactive funding for our dedicated time, efforts, and work in showcasing and sharing this research as a case study with the broader community. The value we have demonstrated is that a self-sustainable physical hub is achievable and beneficial for the Polkadot ecosystem. To confirm this, we conducted field research and invested our own resources. Therefore, we are not requesting funding for the hub itself but seeking compensation for our research work from January onwards, continuing throughout the year. Thank you.
There was an old discussion on gov1 regarding the previous proposal. The link above and this post represent the current state of the project, with a newly prepared, more focused and more precise document.

I think it would be better for the entire channel to be called
The YouTube channel is still created with Republik Dao which I think does not reflect our focus specifically on Polkadot.
Hello RajaDot,
Thank you for the feedback. The main reason is that(if you are referring to the Soulbound aftermovie video) our media partner helping us creating more awareness for Polkadot and its ecosystem. This is Republic Dao. They specialize in marketing and PR, particularly in the APAC region.
Currently, our intention is not focus on to create a YouTube channel called Polkadot Hub. We are still in the process of developing the framework and playbook for upcoming hubs in collaboration with the Hub Collective.
Our primary goal was to create a professional aftermovie for an event where Polkadot was the main sponsor and the central focus. This event proved to be highly successful.
As an example, consider the "Polkadot Metaverse Championship 2022 - Aftermovie ." This aftermovie was crafted by the CCTF team and is hosted on the YouTube channel named "CCTF". In a similar vein, when an event is organized and co-organized by a Bali-based Polkadot team, which maintains its own YouTube channel, it seems logical and appropriate to feature the aftermovie on their channel, where they already have followers.
Furthermore, Polkadot Sanctuary is envisioned to be just one among the many Polkadot hubs worldwide in the future. It is not our privilege to claim such a grandiose YouTube channel name for ourselves, and that is not the message we aim to convey with this project/proposal.
I hope this clarifies things. Thank you.
Please list the detailed result and effect of your activities, no gain no pay.

With all due respect, I must politely decline this request.
Please read through the DETAILED PROPOSAL, complete with hyperlinks that will navigate you to every SUCCESS METRICS, DATA, PROOFS, PICTURES, DETAILS, NEGOTIATIONS, and mostly the RESULTS AND EFFECTS that have evidently benefited Polkadot. It's all there, plainly visible.
Even in the proposal description, the achievements are emphasized, but without reading, there's no enlightenment.
Thank you.
Ps.: If, after a thorough reading, you still have unanswered questions, I'd gladly set up a call or chat with you (or anyone) to delve deeper and narrate the tale of the Polkadot Sanctuary.
