Hi everyone,&nbsp;
I'm excited to share the Assets Unlocked business development proposal, which aims to position Polkadot as the preferred solution for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation. Building on the incredible momentum from the last 6 months, this next phase of the effort will strategically scale our impact, deepen partnerships, and strengthen Polkadot's position in this emerging sector.&nbsp; &nbsp;
Highlights of the last 6 months:&nbsp;
Unergy Collaboration: We secured a partnership with Unergy, a clean energy company managing a USD 23M portfolio of solar assets. Unergy will bridge its token, backed by its solar asset portfolio, to the Moonbeam network, enabling token holders to receive yield natively.&nbsp;
Asian Development Bank: We advanced our collaboration with ADB Greater Mekong River Sub Region Team, who have requested a presentation in January on Polkadot's applications for agricultural trade and compliance with EU deforsestation regulations.
NEITEC: We are actively engaging NEITEC, a London-based fintech firm dedicated to helping SMEs issue private bonds on-chain, particularly in Latin America, and connecting them with institutional investors and multilateral banks.&nbsp;
Agora Labs: We are positioning Agora Labs, a health tech company, to integrate a Polkadot parachain into their privacy-preserving health data sharing platform.&nbsp;
Content &amp; Outreach: We published 9 blog posts, 3 country reports, 6 videos and 2 podcasts, creating significant thought leadership in the RWA space. These efforts generated 21 active leads, with successes in energy, finance, education and more.&nbsp;
Global Reach: Although initially focused on South East Asia, we attracted strong interest from LATAM and Europe.&nbsp;
Goals for the next 6 months:&nbsp;
Looking ahead, we aim to build on this success by:&nbsp;
Marketing and Content Creation: Producing high-quality blogs, reports, videos and case studies to educate the market and highlight Polkadot's capabilities in various industries.&nbsp;
Expanding Partnerships: Deepening relationships with existing leads while attracting new partners in finance, sustainability, health care and infrastructure.&nbsp;
Enhanced Account Management: Improving onboarding processes. Supporting partners in navigating the Polkadot ecosystem and fostering long-term collaborations.
Transparent reporting: Providing progress updates to the community via formal reports and updates.&nbsp;
Why it matters:&nbsp;
The blockchain landscape is evolving rapidly, with major institutions like BlackRock, JP Morgan, and CitiBank leading the tokenisation charge. As regulatory frameworks look more favourably towards adoption, Polkadots unique value proposition positions it as a clear leader in enabling scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions for RWA.&nbsp;
Proposed budget and timeframe.
To achieve these goals, we propose a budget of USDT 127,050, covering professional fees, operational expenses, and VAT. This budget will cover a period of six months.&nbsp;
