Hi Tommi,
Thanks for creating this topic, we also found it’s extremely important to take a portion of ecosystem effort for the Polkadot Hub’s success, at least (in-this-year), like 80% our efforts because:
- Polkadot Hub is simple for EVM-compatible engineers to quickly switch to Polkadot - deploy existing projects or build a new projects.
- Solidity Developers dominates the market in terms of web3 developers. (based on Electric Capital 2024 - report)
- Be able to focus on consumer layer.
Then, it’s important to coordinate and prepare for successful launch - short term: testnet commercial launch and mainnet launch definitely.
Our plan is to focus on Polkadot Hub this year, because OpenGuild’s mandate is in Asia and Asia is dominating the amount of Solidity developers in the globe.
How we see OpenGuild team fits in this full pictures:
- Builders full-stack support (from Ecosystem Resources Guiding to developers relation) by multiple types of activities (mandate mainly SEA and support broader Asia)
- Outreach efforts - organizing developer-focused activation, organizing cultural activities and build relationship between builders in the ecosystem.
- We aims to organize an acceleration program (follow-up program) in Q3 which gathers a reasonable amount of quality teams (10-15 teams in Asia), to build consumer apps which provide relevant/popular usecases around DeFi, PayFi, NFTs (based on their current MVPs), providing community building support, building presence in Asia and social media, guide to ecosystem resources to make sure the growth would be assured.
Happy to contribute to the general picture that ecosystem key agents are establishing.
