The curators of the Events bounty understand that meaningful connections happen face-to-face. That's why they're actively supporting event organizers who are keen to bring the community together.

Wondering what kind of events qualify? This initiative supports various formats:
Local community meetups
Technical workshops
Regional conferences
Educational seminars
The Events bounty provides clear guidelines. From submitting an EOI to tracking your final proposal, event organizers are mentored at every step. Curators have been selected to provide valuable insights throughout and empower community managers to deliver impactful events.
Why is the Events bounty’s approach remarkable? It goes beyond funding by offering applicants a comprehensive set of resources to ensure the success of their proposals. This includes detailed guides for your planning and direct interactions with experienced community members.

Want to organize a Polkadot meetup? Here's something exciting: you can get up to 1000 USD in $DOT to cover your costs with the Meetups bounty! Let's break down this bounty program.
Important note: The bounty works as a post payment. You organize the meetup first, then apply for a reimbursement. The program is designed to support genuine community builders who are already active in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Before diving in, make sure you have contributions to show as a Polkadot community member. Not quite there yet? No worries! Get involved in the ecosystem first: build your presence and consider which audience you will target for a meetup. Quality matters more than quantity.
Thinking of applying? The process is simple: organize your meetup, keep all invoices for venue hires, record all catering costs, and submit your proposal after the event. The community keeps track of all submissions and outcomes on a public dashboard.
Need guidance? DOTmeetups participants are very active on social channels. Connect with experienced organizers, ask questions in preparation of your future proposals, and get valuable insights. Focus on building meaningful connections.
Documentation is key! Each proposal needs:
Event details
Costs breakdown
Photos and videos
Social media coverage
Here's a pro tip: Before planning your meetup, thoroughly review all guidelines. Common reasons that see a proposal rejected include insufficient documentation and failure to meet basic requirements for community engagement. Make your effort count!
Get started as a community organiser with DOTmeetups.xyz. Remember: building local communities is crucial for Web3 adoption, and your meetup could be the spark that ignites future innovations!

Discover the Polkadot Wiki: Your Central Source of Truth for Blockchain Knowledge! Brought to you by the Web3 Foundation - empowering the next generation of digital pioneers!
What exactly is the Polkadot Wiki? It's more than just a website - it's a community-focused initiative designed to be the ultimate resource for mastering the Polkadot universe.
The Wiki breaks down complexity into 4 sections:
EXPLORE: For newbies who want to try Polkadot products
LEARN: For those curious about Polkadot technologies
BUILD: For inventors ready to develop ground-breaking dApps
MAINTAIN: For techies who want to keep the network running
Let's talk Polkadot 101: It's the first network to provide shared security and secure interoperability to layer-1 blockchains. An ecosystem where different blockchains can communicate seamlessly - that's the magic of Polkadot!
The DOT token is your key to the Polkadot ecosystem. It's not just a cryptocurrency - it's your power to:
Participate in Polkadot OpenGov
Vote and delegate voting power
Stake and support the network
Acquire coretime
Enable crucial network functionalities
Polkadot OpenGov is revolutionizing blockchain governance. It's an on-chain system that lets the community orchestrate decisions, access treasury funds, and truly shape the network's direction. No central authority - just collective decision-making!
The beauty of Polkadot lies in its abstraction and generalization. It allows applications to be built for specific use cases while communicating securely and leveraging each other's strengths. This is how we're building the trustless and interconnected future!
