Every person applying for funding must fulfill all the conditions without exception!

Organiser

• Your DOT address must have an on-chain identity.
• Organizers must have a broad knowledge of Polkadot and its projects, an understanding of OpenGov, etc.
• Active verifiable history of activity in the Polkadot ecosystem (working for specific Polkadot projects, contributions to various initiatives in the ecosystem, activity on social media, connections with various people in the ecosystem, members of various Polkadot communities, etc.)

<aside> ✅

TIP: Always put effort into leaving a trace of your activities on your socials, keep them clean, and focus on growing your influence. Active, well-established, and connected members of the Polkadot community have a better chance of receiving funding.

Submission

• Apply as an individual, even if you represent a group.
• You must submit the proper and complete documentation we are asking for. Nothing should be missing.
• Submit your event a maximum of 30 days after it happens; everything submitted later might lead to rejection.

<aside> ✅

TIP: Communication with curators is ALWAYS a good idea. Use our public Telegram group to connect with them.

</aside>

• Transparency about applying for funding somewhere else - in case you are receiving funding somewhere else or you applied for it, you have to let us know.
• Your proposal must be clear, structured, and nicely formatted, with all necessary details linked. You must use our proposal template. Other templates will be automatically rejected.

Your meetup

• If you have never organized an event via our bounty, you should connect with us before you organize something.
• Events that exceed 1k USD in costs need to be pre-approved! Our bounty will cover a maximum of 1k USD, but we still need to be aware of the total cost. We recommend connecting directly with curators via our public channels.
• Events that are funded from multiple sources or are organized as a collaboration between projects from different ecosystems must also be pre-approved!
