East Asia is a region with a large number of great blockchain engineers to find new ecosystems to apply their skills.

We propose **the FIRST-EVER hackathon in East Asia** to unite this potential and promote the Substrate technology and Polkadot ecosystem. 

The layout of this hackathon will combine a few components we had during [Sub0 2022](https://sub0.polkadot.network), such as Starters & Builders Spaces, to host various workshops for developers.

The HackaDOT 2023, will be the official side event of [Buidl Asia 2023](https://www.buidl.asia) and be held both online(Phase#1) and offline(Phase#2).

In total 2.5 months of execution, from 22 March to 11 June 2023 (30 days of registration, 30 days for Pre-online hackathon, 3 days of live hackathon, and 4 days for judging period).

**HackaDOT 2023 aims**:

1. To promote Substrate as an open-source framework for developers in East Asia.

2. To navigate local developers into Polkadot Ecosystem.

3. To showcase how Polkadot live-ecosystem leaders are building the use cases using our technology.
