According to ChainCatcher, Harold Yu, founder of DIN (formerly Web3Go, a data analysis platform for the Polkadot ecosystem), wrote on X that he agreed with the view of Victor Ji, co-founder of Manta Network, that as an Asian-led project, it is quite difficult to build in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Harold added: “You need to face and solve a lot of additional problems, such as politics, relationships, and cliques. I remember the Web3 event held in Hong Kong in 2023. Polkadot did not hold any official events at the time, so I applied for a $10,000 grant on behalf of the community. The application process was too painful and the reporting requirements were too cumbersome. I don’t want to go through it again. But at the same time, I saw many projects from Europe and the United States easily get hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in funding, which is very unfair.”
