**Proponent:** Tribe/AngelHack 13Ghf2T883ZobjngC1BAgR1BWvK2P7qP37gGxHDVFf3fjbmw

**Requested Allocation:** USD$55,234.38 | 11,730.685 DOT

In December 2022, AngelHack proposed to run two Polkadot Global Series hackathons in both the Europe and APAC regions for 2023. This was done in effort to continue bridging existing gaps within the Web3 space through active engagements with the ecosystem teams and wider Polkadot community. Subsequently, the forming of such stronger connections within the community will also allow for easier onboarding of more developers across a diverse range of backgrounds. 


We have since embarked on our Global Series hackathon in Europe (by extension, Africa as well) with the following objectives and criteria.


**This proposal hence serves two objectives:**
- Providing a detailed recap of the recently concluded virtual **Polkadot Hackathon Global Series: Europe Edition**, as well as the in-person **dotSocial: Paris** event that took place during Paris Blockchain Week 2023.
- Providing a budget breakdown and metrics report to request **$55,234.38 USD** for our second payment milestone, in accordance with the milestones set out in our initial proposal.

The proposal outlines AngelHack's Polkadot Global Series: Europe Edition, aiming to foster engagement within the Web3 community. It recaps the virtual hackathon and in-person dotSocial event, detailing participant metrics, challenge tracks, and budget breakdown. Notable outcomes include 923 participants, 495 formed teams, and diverse track winners. Insights reveal strong interest in blockchain, desire for better mentorship, and clearer communication. Future improvements include enhanced team formation support, clearer guidelines, and expanded workshop offerings. Despite falling short of some registration targets, the event successfully engaged a diverse group and provided valuable learnings for future hackathons. AngelHack seeks funding for the event's execution, emphasizing its impact on developer outreach and project adoption within the Polkadot ecosystem.
