Short Description: Create a bounty to attract potential partners and businesses in Brazil to the Polkadot ecosystem, aiming to position Polkadot as the leading blockchain platform in the country.
Context: This bounty aims to tap into the growing interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in Brazil. The country's market is booming, and if Polkadot wants to seize this opportunity to expand its presence the time is now. Large entities like NuBank and the Government of Rio de Janeiro are exploring blockchain solutions in Brazil with Polygon and Solana.
Objective: Convert interested individuals and businesses in Brazil into active Polkadot builders or partners to establish Polkadot as the top blockchain ecosystem in the country.
Why This Matters: Brazil's cryptocurrency market is rapidly growing, with millions of investors and businesses entering the space. Brazil's digital landscape, with high mobile and internet usage, makes it an ideal market for blockchain adoption.
The Team: The team leading this effort includes Luis Fernando Dal Porto, John Rhodel Bartolomé, Gabriel Bonugli, and Carlos Sawaki, all with relevant backgrounds and experience in the blockchain industry in areas such as Development, Marketing and Project Management.

Problem Statement: Polkadot is a powerful blockchain platform, but awareness of its potential is still limited. Other projects are making inroads in Brazil, and we want to secure our position in this growing market. We propose a bounty to foster business development and attract new partners to Polkadot.
Proposal Objectives: Our primary goal is to convert interested parties into active Polkadot builders or partners. We have identified a substantial pipeline of businesses looking to integrate blockchain technology and plan to provide them with the necessary resources and support.
Milestones and Actions: Over six months, we will initiate contact, hold meetings, qualify leads, and provide support to help at least three businesses start their projects on Polkadot.
Parachains supporting our cause:
Compensation: Rewards are based on goals achieved, with multipliers for successful leads and partnerships.
Bounty Curators: We propose Ivy Network, Nick Dunford, Saxemberg, and Zoe Meckbach as curators.
Quick Q&A: We are not considering the upcoming Incentive Pools Proposal due to time sensitivity. Three businesses may seem low, but they are of high quality and often lead to more projects. We believe a bounty is the best approach, as it rewards success and aligns with Polkadot's decentralized nature. We have the experience and local connections to make this initiative successful. While a global initiative was considered, regional focus allows for quicker action. Blockchain adoption in Brazil is on the rise And we are considering the recently announced resources from the Web3 Foundation.

Hi Lui5DOT, Thank you for submitting this proposal. In the interest of transparency to the community, please note that Ivy is a curator on this proposal.. We believe that these deliverables can help drive meaningful value to DOT holders by directly increasing the number of Polkadot-based projects and partners. If this initiative doesn’t pass, Polkadot will almost certainly lose out on 100+ identified leads of potential net new Polkadot projects and partnerships in Brazil to other ecosystems such as Polygon, Cardano and Solana. We also understand that the project team has meaningful relationships with key decision makers of blockchain projects in the region to help convert some of these opportunities to Polkadot. While there are certainly aspects of this proposal that can be improved, the opportunity cost of now empowering these ambassadors to actively engage in the process of converting identified leads to Polkadot-based projects is enormous. Therefore, Ivy votes aye.
