There are many developers and big economic potential in the Eastern Europe
Cardano Hub in Eastern Europe (in Kyiv)
This is the total amount allocated to Cardano Hub - Eastern Europe.
As I'm in Project Catalyst Fund1, I had a proposal "Cardano Hub"
You can check it:
Fund1: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Cardano-Hub/316096-48088
Fund2: https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Cardano-Hub/323284-48088
After that Charles Hoskinson gave a speech on Community Led Hubs. Of course, most probably it's only a coincidence, but now in Project Catalyst, there is a category for this.
So I decided to submit Community Hub idea once again, but increasing the focus on the bigger geography - Eastern Europe and decreasing the budget.
I think first of all it will be necessary to focus on the incentives than on some physical location of the hub.
So such incentives would be:
- Developer evangelism (explaining how and why it's good to develop on Cardano)
- Local communication with businesses, NGO and government agencies
- Localization/translation help and support
- Meetup organization
- Cardano popularization
- Cardano and crypto education
5 years in blockchain, in Project Catalyst since Fund1, in 2019 created literature crypto bar in Kyiv which accepted ADA
