Oneblock+: Asian Hackathon Proposal Unreasonably Opposed by DOT Major Holders

The Polkadot community and DV Oneblock+ posted that they recently applied for two Polkadot hackathon proposals in the Asia-Pacific region in 2024 on OpenGov, hoping to bring Polkadot hackathons to Singapore and Bangkok in the second half of 2024, with funds allocated for hosting, prizes and organizing Polkadot hackathons in Singapore and Bangkok in 2024. Oneblock+ said its costs are transparent: 30% for operating expenses and 70% as rewards for the winning team. However, its proposal was opposed by many node representatives and DOT big players on the grounds that the bonuses they set for the winning development team were too high. The fact is that Oneblock+'s proposal fee is lower than that of other hackathon organizers, and the high bonus is to attract more developers to join the Polkadot ecosystem and continue development, rather than wasting money on event organization. As the only Polkadot DV representative in China, Oneblock+ does not accept the reason for rejecting the proposal on the grounds of "giving developers too high a reward." Hackathons like Solana and Ton have offered prizes of over $500,000.
