Our solution will be solving a huge problem by onboarding the next set of builders from these regions into the Cardano ecosystem and at the same time, increasing Cardano penetration in these regions.
We are approaching it this way as we believe the best way to get mainstream adoption is to target the users on the Grassroot.
We will be engaging local innovation hubs and the broader local tech community thereby fostering a more inclusive and diverse community.
Our impact will be demonstrated by onboarding over 5000 people directly and indirectly to Cardano throughout the duration of this proposal.
