**Short description:**
- The series of 10 news Videos “HOT DOT NEWS ”
- Learning videos: DOT Features - Polkadot, Kusama and ecosystem projects functions and use cases (**additionally, in case of approvement on Polkadot and Kusama both**)

**Detailed description:**

To many people blockchain in common and Polkadot in particular still remain some scarring and unclear concepts. We believe that Polkadot`s rapidly growing ecosystem is one of the most interesting pieces of blockchain now. That is why it's very important to spread information about Polkadot and keep people, united by the idea of Polkadot, informed.

**Polkadot Ecosystem PromoTeam in collaboration with Polkadot News **presents the series of 10 videos “HOT DOT NEWS ”.
These videos are short and highly informational, consisting of the very essence of the events that take place in Polkadot, Kusama and Polkadot ecosystem every week. 
The first video you can see here:https://t.co/AvQOtO8Sn0?amp=1 

During only several hours after uploading to YouTube it accumulated about **1K views, proving that this theme is interesting to people.**

**As soon as we apply to both Polkadot and Kusama Treasures, we plan to add learning blocks to the news videos. **Learning material will be short and given in an easy and pleasant way, in the middle or in the end of videos. Learning videos will be downloaded on YouTube separately also .

Subtitles: To make it easy to understand information from our learning and news videos they will be covered with subtitles in English/Russian and maybe other languages .

**Who we are:**	

We are the experienced promotion and video production makers. We collaborated with many Polkadot ecosystem projects, like Plasm Network, Phala Network, Bifrost and others.
