Our Past Work
We&rsquo;re excited to share that we've completed our previous grant, which covered Nationwide Education, Marketing, Business Development, and On-ground activations. Over the past six (6) months, our work has allowed the Polkadot ecosystem to break ground in the local markets on a provincial level.

Following our past efforts, the Bitskwela team is committed to ramping up our Polkadot-related initiatives locally. Over the last few quarters, we've deepened our involvement in the ecosystem, and our confidence in Polkadot's potential has only grown stronger.
Of course, Bitskwela&rsquo;s planned incoming efforts won&rsquo;t be executed alone. We have received the support of the likes of Polkadot Insider, OpenGuild, and HA Max Rebol in terms of guidance and advisory.

What can you expect with this following proposal?
In the following week, Bitskwela will submit a small-spender funding proposal to help us mount different planned Polkadot initiatives, alongside Polkadot Insider and OpenGuild, in the Philippines. This proposal consists of the following initiatives planned for the next six (6) months:
<ol>
<li>Eight (8) Polkadot-related Short Guides

Bitskwela - Expanding Polkadot to the Thriving Philippine Web 3.0 Community

Treasury

This proposal seeks funding for the third milestone of the KAGOME project, a C++ implementation of the Polkadot Host, aimed at enhancing client diversity, security, and performance within the Polkadot ecosystem. KAGOME already participates in Kusama relay chain validation and brings alternative client options to reduce the risks associated with a single implementation. The proposal outlines work on critical features such as elastic scaling, validation protocol upgrades, systematic chunks, and various security enhancements. The proposal also includes ongoing security assurance by SRLabs to ensure the robustness of the KAGOME implementation, with technical support and oversight provided by the Web3 Foundation.

- **Problem Statement:** Bitskwela aims to enhance awareness and understanding of Polkadot in the Philippines through various initiatives.
- **Significance:** Increasing Polkadot's presence in the local market can foster adoption and growth of the ecosystem.
- **Proposed Solution:** Submitting a small-spender funding proposal for initiatives like updating short guides, creating educational content, hosting events, and engaging with media.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Increased awareness, reach, and understanding of Polkadot among Filipinos through educational resources and events.
