Hello World! by Polkadot
Gitcoin has integrated Polkadot and Kusama tokens (DOT and KSM) into its tech stack, making them one of the first full integrations outside of the Ethereum ecosystem.
To celebrate the integration on Gitcoin, we are organising Hello World! by Polkadot, a series of challenges to bring you on a journey of Polkadot development discovery.
Check out the kick-off webinar for more details and information.
Challenges and prizes
The challenges are in four categories: (1) Beginner, (2) Intermediate, (3) Advanced, and (4) Ecosystem. The first three are written specifically for Polkadot and Kusama, whereas the Ecosystem category is made up of challenges created by Polkadot ecosystem projects. Challenge payouts are capped at 50, meaning that only the first fifty valid submissions will receive a payout.
In addition, there is an EXTRA PRIZE of 150 DOT for the first 50 that manage to complete 18 or more challenges.
Everyone successfully solving any challenge and receiving a payout will also get an awesome piece of Polkadot swag as well as a Kusama-based NFT, issued via RMRK.
Deadlines
🧑💻 [INTERMEDIATE CHALLENGE] FRAME Development
Update the Pallet Template to include a storage item for a custom struct. Add at least one dispatchable function to interact with the new storage item. Add the necessary types to the Front-End Template to interact with the new dispatchable.
Submission requirements
Provide a link to a GitHub repository that includes the Node Template with the updated pallet as well as the updated front-end template.

What are Polkadot, Kusama and Substrate?
Polkadot is a sharded, multichain network founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, the co-founder and former chief technology officer of Ethereum and creator of the Solidity programming language. The Polkadot network is a metaprotocol that solves many challenges that have hindered the growth of legacy blockchains, including scalability, governance, security, and interoperability.
Kusama is also a sharded, multichain network founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, built using the Substrate framework and nearly the same codebase as Polkadot. Kusama is a network built as a risk-taking, fast-moving ‘canary in the coal mine’ alongside its cousin Polkadot.
Substrate is a blockchain development framework for the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem. It features a completely generic state transition function and modular components for consensus, networking, and configuration. Despite being "completely generic", it comes with both standards and conventions, particularly with the Substrate runtime module library (FRAME)
