Polkadot Decoded 2024

Dear Polkadot ecosystem and DOT hodlers,
sub0 is the conference for developers building at every level of the Polkadot tech stack — from custom layer-1 blockchains to dApps and smart contracts, infrastructure, tooling, cross-chain interoperability solutions, and more. Following the success of sub0 Asia held in Bangkok, Thailand in March 2024, we are now bringing sub0 back to Europe. 
This event will take place in Barcelona, Spain in October 2024. sub0 Europe will continue to unite the global Polkadot developer community, providing an introduction to next-generation multichain networks and deepening the skills and connections of existing Polkadot and Substrate developers.
In order to secure appropriate funding for the event we will be publishing a referendum in the medium spender track in a week and link the proposal document here.

sub0 Europe 2024 - prefunding proposal prep

We currently have a proposal up for the Polkadot Developer Conference // sub0 Europe 2024 in Barcelona (ref#927) and we see several requests to have such an event for Latam as well. With this discussion we would like to pitch an early idea for 2025 as the WebSummit Rio will take place in Brazil in late April 2025 and our community seem to like attaching our events to larger festival or major tech conference.

Again, the original idea for sub0 is to have 2 or 3 regional editions, we have sub0 Europe as proposal up (#927), we had sub0 Asia in March 2024 in Bangkok, and this would introduce a Latam edition.

So please share your comments, give feedback.

Polkadot Decoded 2024 treasury spend tranche 1/2

sub0 - The Polkadot Developers Conference is the conference for developers building at every level of the Polkadot tech stack — from custom layer-1 blockchains to dApps and smart contracts, infrastructure, tooling, cross-chain interoperability solutions, and more.

In 2024 sub0 will make its debut as a regional edition for Asia and is seeking funding from Polkadot Treasury. The last edition took place in LX-Factory in Lisbon September, 2023, supported by the Web3 Foundation, together with the teams of Apillon, Phala Network, Astar Network and Manta Network in representation of the entire Polkadot ecosystem brought together the global Polkadot developer community.

Decentered Studio is the team that managed sub0 2023 and 2022 already and is currently decentralizing. Some background [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/decentralised-futures-program-polkadot-events-finding-a-future-home-for-sub0-and-decoded/4854).

We collected feedback on where and when this regional edition should take place and are proposing mid of March 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Sub0 will again provide an open introduction to next-generation multichain networks, as well as a chance for existing Polkadot and Substrate developers to deepen their skills and connect with each other. For this year's edition we want 50% of our audience to be new developers from outside of our ecosystem. This includes people who are not building on Substrate but are curious to learn more. By opening our doors to developers who are not (or only slightly) familiar with our tech, we can bring in more potential builders and expand our market reach and visibility.

It will be the first sub0 with paid tickets to help subsidize the impact to the Polkadot Treasury. Ticket revenue will contribute to 8-10% of the required budget.

THIS IS THE FUNDING REQUEST FOR MILESTONE 1. Requested DOTs for this milestone: 99,950 (which covers approximately 85% of the budget) Second Milestone will be post-event to avoid over-payment.

We already started communicating about the plan of a sub0 edition for Asia in the Polkadot Forum [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/sub0-asia-march-2024/4352) and on Polkassembly discussion.

Further information on the proposal, including milestones, budget, agenda, participants and more can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y6Nk7ZDA0G07uc5a-xLke8wZlXScNq_h0ywzS9JoD9E/edit?usp=sharing)!
