**Short description:**

Reviewing Polkadot Hackathon: APAC Edition that took place in Quarter 4 2021, the organising team at AngelHack (a subsidiary of Tribe) identified gaps in the participants’ level of knowledge when attempting to learn Substrate, impacting the quality of the hackathon submissions received. By raising the number of quality of submissions, the Polkadot ecosystem can become even more vibrant.

With the series of 2022 hackathons planned by AngelHack together with Web3 Foundation, the team at Tribe aims to level up the participant’s prior knowledge of the Polkadot Ecosystem and fundamentals of Substrate pre-hackathon, in hopes to result in better submission quality.

Specifically, Tribe proposes to provide Learn-and-Earn campaigns to onboard global developers onto the Polkadot developer ecosystem, growing Polkadot’s active developer base with new developers that are equipped with strong foundational knowledge and hands-on development experience. Targeting 150 global developers to be onboarded through this engagement.

The Learn-and-Earn campaigns will be conducted through StackUp - Tribe's newest business offering - a platform that rewards developers with monetary incentives for completing tasks that level up their skills and knowledge. StackUp breaks the typical learning journey into smaller, bite-sized pieces (that we call quests), offering users real currency rewards for finishing each quest. This format of smaller exercises with incremental rewards, encourages learners to tackle more quests and learn more, as well as encourages them to follow through and finish the quest.

 Kill all storage items with a key that starts with the given prefix.

 **NOTE:** We rely on the Root origin to provide us the number of subkeys under
 the prefix we are removing to accurately calculate the weight of this function.

 # <weight>
 - `O(P)` where `P` amount of keys with prefix `prefix`
 - `P` storage deletions.

- **Problem Statement:** The Polkadot Hackathon: APAC Edition revealed gaps in participants' understanding of Substrate, affecting the quality of hackathon submissions. The intended audience is global developers interested in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **Significance:** The lack of foundational knowledge in Substrate among developers limits the quality and quantity of submissions, hindering the growth and vibrancy of the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **Proposed Solution:** Tribe proposes to conduct Learn-and-Earn campaigns via StackUp, a platform that rewards developers for completing tasks that enhance their skills and knowledge. The goal is to onboard 150 global developers with strong foundational knowledge and hands-on development experience.
- **Expected Outcomes:** The campaigns are expected to increase the number of quality submissions in future hackathons, thereby expanding Polkadot's active developer base and enhancing the ecosystem's vibrancy. The overall project allocation is $80,000 USD, with $50,000 USD requested for the first payment milestone.
