This milestone is to seek reimbursement for distributing the approved travel grants from our previously-approved Relayers Proposal to the respective parties that have fulfilled the eligibility requirements.

In July 2023, The Polkadot Relayers was approved on OpenGov. This is the second milestone of the proposal to fulfill the in-person itinerary that the Relayers Program was approved for.

The Polkadot Relayers is a community-first early-stage incubator programme that seeks to grow talented builders in their endeavour to build dApps on Polkadot’s parachains. The inaugural launch of the Polkadot Relayers took place last year in 2022, and was successful in accomplishing its initial objective of bringing together developers and entrepreneurs, as well as providing individuals with a platform to actualise their innovative ideas. This year, the Relayers program seeks to focus on nurturing committed project teams looking for mentorship, investment, and ecosystem support whilst they build on Polkadot. The 2023 edition seeks to improve on the learnings from the Relayers program in 2022, building on participant feedback and working very closely with 7 dedicated parachain teams to create a cohesive initiative that gives back to the Polkadot ecosystem.

We are submitting this proposal for the second milestone funding of USD$99,000. This budget is mainly for the travel grants that are disbursed to all participating stakeholders.
