Summary of Proposal: Fuelarts x BitBasel | Creative Tech Accelerator for Polkadot
This proposal seeks $300K USDT to fund the Fuelarts x BitBasel Creative Tech Accelerator, aiming to strengthen Polkadot's position in the creative economy and attract utility-based startups to the ecosystem. Fuelarts, a seasoned blockchain accelerator, and BitBasel, a Web3 and digital art leader, will collaborate to onboard innovative startups across industries such as art, music, fashion, and gaming. The program will focus on addressing gaps in Polkadot's creative ecosystem, such as production, management, and analytics, while leveraging cross-industry intersections (e.g., fitness + GameFi) to create impactful solutions. Key objectives include expanding Polkadot's US presence, integrating Web3 tools into Web2 industries, and reducing reliance on treasury funding by reigniting investor interest in Polkadot-based startups.
