This proposal aims provide funding for the evangelists’ to operate their tasks and motivate them to contribute continuous effort to the Substrate developer community.

Oneblock plans to run a global Substrate evangelist Program to reach a broader group of audience, grow the Substrate developer community and push for the massive adoption of this technology, and at the end will further contribute to develop and grow the Polkadot ecosystem. This program will have a clear growth path and promotion mechanism to motivate the evangelists to contribute for the technology promotion and adoption. 

Substrate has gained growing influence in China’s blockchain dev community in the past 24 months. Polkadot outperforms other new L1 chains as the second largest ecosystem in the size of active developers and it clearly has something to do with the continuous promotion and adoption of Substrate as a technology in China and global-wise. Oneblock views the necessity of doubling down the effort of promoting and adopting Substrate which directly contribute to the growth and thrive of the Polkadot ecosystem. Substrate Evangelist Program is a natural extension of Oneblock’s successful effort to promote Substrate and grow the Substrate developer community, from the perspectives of the influential coverage and the geographic market.

Till Mar 5th,a total of 125 applicants come from China, Nigeria, Russia, Minsk, Ukraine, Solomon, Turkey, Togo, Iran, Morocco, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, America, etc 14 countries.

On April 9th,We hosted the Substrate Evangelist Program kickoff meeting and invited Dr. Radhakrishna @Web3foundation & Parity Asia Pacific Head @helenawang to join the panel and share the latest Polkadot news.
