1 year ago Hi @ogasky -
Thanks very much for the thoughtful application. While it is sBTC-related we are going to pass on this for now. These sorts of community effort may start to receive consideration in Q3 of this year once protocol-level blockers are addressed. I would suggest that you reach out to adam at stacks dot org to see if he could get you involved in hackathon efforts related to sBTC. Lastly, please note that we will be posting several sBTC-related Critical Bounties in the coming weeks here. Please keep your eyes peeled and submit an application to complete a bounty if any of them jump out at you.
Best, Will

GRANT MISSION, IMPACT, RISKS & REFERENCE
Grant Mission: The goal is to start and grow a Stacks community in the southern part of Nigeria, and specifically in the city of Warri, that will be involved in the researching & developing of sBTC aided projects and solutions for the total benefit of the entire Stacks ecosystem.
This will intend to achieve by organizing Stacks Meetups and workshops, where we will discuss Stacks from the introductory or foundational level before diving deeper into the sBTC. Participants will be divided into groups to study various sBTC, BTC & STX documents, and also create contents on their findings that will be published on Medium. As a way to strengthen the community knowledge base on sBTC, a community sBTC hackathon will be done during the final stage of this programme.
Our goal is to have at least 50 active and contributing community members by the end of this grant. Thus we shall carryout adequate publicity and secure venue for these activities, and we shall also involve the colleges and tertiary institutions in my state towards getting onboard their students into our community programmes. This we hope to sustain in the long run.
Grant Impact: Getting 50 contributing members in the community will be use as key metrics for the impact of this grant, and also if the community can develop at least one sBTC aided project solution, that can be another grant impact measurement metrics.
Grant Risks: There is no major risk as we are having the first Stacks in-person workshop that is focused on sBTC, also there available sBTC reference documents to leverage upon that has helped minimized the risk. Organizing a workshop require experienced hands, & that we already have. Thus the risk is minimized.
