I had a previous preimage, but I don't know what happened and sent it empty, pls feedback and reconsideration of your vote. 

Why on Kusama? Because we need to Test Chaos. 

- Name of the Hackathon: "Digital Voting within the Blockchain"
- Dates: May 28-29, 2024, announced on May 17th, 2024
- Number of Hackers: 50 max, currently registered 39 (EVM mostly)
- Asked KSM: 278 KSM

**Disclosure: I can't guarantee any publicity or branding besides Substrate within hackathon activities, this is a public good hackathon.**


The ****Mexican Deputy Chamber ****is organizing a hackathon related to**** "Digitial Voting within the Blockchain"****, the delegated organizers are a Mexican Web3 media project called ****[Kairos Research](https://x.com/Research_Kairos)****, and the rules for the hackathon are tech agnostic, however, the main focus of Kairos is EVM based developments, which is not so agnostic, undermining the possibilities to expose any other tech to legislative stakeholders that can make changes to regulations and laws.

The hackathon arose because, as the [spoken words](https://x.com/Research_Kairos/status/1791529527786549467) of the organizers,### "We know there are people out there building things with blockchain, and we want to know what they are building, and proposing", and the mentors and tracks are EVM based, which put Substrate based ecosystem at the disadvantage of discovery and top of mind for all the projects and people that we are working with it.

The proposal is as follows; we are partnering with Kairos with a side track for prizes related to Substrate implementations ****(3 tracks in total, 30 KSMv per track)**** we are doing a Substrate Tutorial with Adrian Mont, PBA BA Alumni, which is going to be online, and the hackathon day, he'll be helping with the implementations of the ones who choose substrate, and other workshops related to Polkadot and Crash Courses made by me (Edgar Salinas, PBA HK alumni) through Peranto, related to Laws and Regulations for Digital Voting and possible standalone solutions for digital voting, Technical Blockchain Concepts related to international standards as ISOs, and tokenomics.

This proposal isn't just the prize distribution, it's a showcase and testing to show the developments within Kusama/Polkadot, we are using for the Digital Token (KSM) distribution a parachain called Kreivo, they are focused on the creation of DAOs and their management, including treasury management, this will show the participants and stakeholders the possibilities of building with substrate and belonging to the Kusama/Polkadot ecosystem.

We are using Peranto dApp to DIDsign all documents for the winners, through statements that show that the proceedings of the funds are legit, and show that isn't Money Laundry and isn't something sketchy, including in this proposal and how it works OpenGov. This way, we can help lawmakers understand and acknowledge the advantages of this software as KSM or DOT, and show practically the capabilities of blockchain solutions such as Peranto CiGo built on KILT Protocol, and Kreivo-Virto built on Substrate, secured by Kusama.
This testing is big, I've decided to "Test Chaos" through Virto, Peranto, and any other project within the ecosystem for developing the web3 ecosystem in Mexico, not only showcasing to key stakeholders but also testing out with academic and institutional players.

For this proposal, I'm having the support from Polkadot Mexico Ambassadors, for on-site assistance, and learning material distribution, Adrian Mont from Gear Foundation (Vara Network) for the Substrate workshops, and VirtoBDao, for onboarding and technical assistance.

- **Problem Statement:** Lack of exposure to Substrate-based developments in a hackathon focused on EVM-based projects organized by Kairos Research for the Mexican Deputy Chamber.
- **Significance:** Limited opportunity for showcasing Substrate implementations, hindering the exploration of diverse tech solutions for legislative stakeholders.
- **Proposed Solution:** Introducing a side track with prizes for Substrate implementations, hosting online tutorials, workshops on Polkadot, and Crash Courses related to laws, regulations, and technical blockchain concepts.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Increased awareness and understanding of Substrate and Kusama/Polkadot ecosystem, demonstrating the potential of blockchain solutions through practical applications and legitimate fund distribution processes.
