Why is it important?

Without users on the ground level, we are building niche products serving mostly technical people with blockchain expertise.

What does success look like?

Local Community Hubs across the world where the average person can take part in their own language and with their own cultural understanding

Key Metrics to measure

- How many new Hubs were launched in the next 6 months?

- How many developers did this community-focused challenge bring into the Cardano ecosystem?

- How many new users of Cardano were onboarded?

- What was the total reach of the Hub's initial marketing launch?

- How many external organizations did this community-focused challenge bring into the Cardano ecosystem?

Challenge brief

—––CHALLENGE UPDATE———–
With the first iteration of this proposal successfully voted on and now, with a challenge pot more than triple of the original, we can think about how to move beyond the bare minimum and provide some of the basic essentials.

———DESCRIPTION————
Out of the world's approximately 7.8 billion inhabitants, 6.45 billion do not speak English.

Living in the Western world, we forget this fact regularly, and many of us have never even considered it.

Let's consider it now and start to build an ecosystem that is truly global, allowing everyone to participate to the best of their ability.

When you drive adoption at the ground level, you are doing more than just 'building cool products', you are empowering people to change their lives in ways they could have never imagined by themselves.
