DIN founder: Agree with Victor Ji, Polkadot is unfair to Asian projects
Harold, the founder of DIN (formerly known as Web3Go, a Polkadot ecosystem data analysis platform), agreed with Victor Ji, co-founder of Manta Network, that it is quite difficult for an Asian-led project to build within the Polkadot ecosystem. Harold added, "You need to face and solve many additional problems, such as politics, relationships, and small circles. I remember the Web3 event held in Hong Kong in 2023, where Polkadot did not hold any official events, 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. At the same time, I see many projects from Europe and the United States easily receiving grants of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is unfair."
