Hello people, Saimon here (https://x.com/simonxpe) Senior ambassador in the old program and candidate in the new program.

This is a proposal to tip for contributions made in various activities involving community development, business development, and developer activities.

Here is a quick summary of what was done:

• 5 activities in 4 cities in 2 countries.
• More than 100 developers involved interacting with resources based on substrate.
• Direct participation of a protocol.
• Direct presentation of Polkadot resources to companies and chambers of commerce in several countries.
• 5 projects highlighted in the hackathon with potential to be accelerated.
• 6 months of work for the benefit of the network

Below are the details of the activities:

19- February: Workshop Lima (Peru)

Description: In this activity I participated as a technical speaker giving a workshop on Blockchain code. In this activity, participants were able to learn the fundamentals of Polkadot and were also able to deploy smart contracts using Moonbeam.

24&25-February: Workshop at Arequipa (Peru)

Description: This workshop was made for the members of the student chapter of computer science at San Pablo University.

Day 1

The workshop started with a basic introduction to cryptography. This covered:
• Hash functions.
• Elliptic curves.
We then moved on to a basic introduction to blockchains, covering:
• Blockchain evolution (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot).
• Decentralized application architecture.
• Smart contracts explained.
• Key concepts in Rust.
Workshop: Participants created logic applications using Rust.

Day 2

On the second day, we focused on the Polkadot ecosystem and built fully functional blockchains using the Polkadot SDK:
• Introduction to Polkadot and its architecture.
• Solutions available in the Polkadot ecosystem
Workshop: Next, we learned about Substrate, the blockchain development framework provided by the Polkadot SDK.

12-March: Meetup San Andres (Colombia)

Description: This activity was held for members of the San Andrés Island Chamber of Commerce. It was the first time that a talk explaining details of Polkadot was held on the island. This activity focused on explaining the technology, products, and resources available in the Polkadot ecosystem. Resources were shown for developers and also for entrepreneurs.

25-June: La Causathon-Hackathon Lima (Peru)

Description: This activity was carried out in collaboration with several local and international communities. The Causathon was a 4-day in-preson activity where participants were mentored so they could tackle challenges implementing smart contracts based on Rust.
5 teams were awarded prizes, 3 with prizes paid in Dots and 2 with non-monetary prizes courtesy of sponsoring companies.
One element worth highlighting is that for this activity, 2 teams made up of 6 people who participated in the workshop held in Arequipa in February were awarded scholarships with their own funds. These teams obtained the first and third prize of the challenge: implementation of smart contracts with Rust.

This proposal also includes compensation for Angi (https://x.com/angeinweb3) (10%), Audi (https://x.com/casi_audi) (5%) and Juana (https://x.com/soyjuanarusso) (5%) for their extraordinary collaboration in various tasks for the execution of all these activities, which include assistance in answering queries from participants, logistical coordination, management of social networks, generation of digital content, communications and dissemination of accurate information about the Polkadot ecosystem.

Together we have formed a team that from Polkadot Peru (https://x.com/Polkadot_per) has promoted national and international Polkadot activities.
