"Polkadot Knowledge Graph" is our entry-level article on Polkadot from zero to one. We try to start from the most basic part of Polkadot and provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Polkadot. Of course, this is a huge project. Engineering is also full of challenges. However, we hope that through such efforts, everyone can correctly understand Polkadot, and people who do not know Polkadot can easily and quickly grasp Polkadot-related knowledge. Today is the 22nd issue of this column, Subatrate Framework Bringing changes for developers, and the Parity team also brought a new plan - Builders for Builders Program

Polkadot's slot auction officially opened on the evening of November 11. Prior to this, the competition among the project parties has already begun, and most of them still use Crowdloan to raise the DOT needed for the auction, whether it is to cooperate with other project parties or use considerable incentives to attract participants I worked hard to join this auction. The reason why Polkadot’s parachain slot auction can attract so many projects is because the Polkadot network has gradually matured and the ecology has become more and more abundant.

Why does Polkadot want to vigorously promote the Builders series plan?

Polkadot has been working hard in all aspects to help developers develop their projects, but in fact Polkadot and these parachains are complementary.

The goal of Polkadot has always been to build the underlying infrastructure of a Web3.0 network, and to realize information interaction between chains through a cross-chain architecture. With the smooth operation of Kusama Network's multiple slot auctions, Polkadot Network also ushered in its own slot auction, which also opened an important step in realizing Polkadot's vision. One of the key points of this step is the various Polkadot ecological projects.

Before Polkadot’s first slot auction, Polkadot has helped developers develop their projects at all levels.

At the funding level, the Web3 Foundation launched the Grant Program to fund teams working on decentralized technologies, especially technology projects that add value to the ecosystem; in terms of technology, another Polkadot team, Parity, launched the Subatrate Builders Program. A plan to help those projects based on the Sustrate framework.

The reason why Polkadot spends a lot of energy and funds to help parachain projects achieve better development is because the ecological development of Polkadot cannot be separated from the success of these parachain projects, just as the prosperity of the business circle is also inseparable from large and small projects. The prosperity of small shops.

What is the Builders for Builders Program?

After the implementation of the Subatrate Builders Program, some results have also been achieved. Based on this, the Pariry team announced the launch of the Builders for Builders Program. The Builders for Builders program is dedicated to empowering teams that build Substrate-based parachains, and to develop and develop the builder ecology developed on their own parachains.

As part of the Builders for Builders Program, the Substrate Builders Program (SBP) team will share the experience gained from running SBP for more than a year in order to help parachain teams build their own programs and build solutions on their parachains.

Handover: The parachain team takes over the PBP plan from the SBP team

The "Builders for Builders" program is divided into three project phases:

Design: SBP team meets with parachain team to design its PBP

Transition: The SBP team leads the first batch of teams in the PBP plan, while the parachain team observes

Handover: The parachain team takes over the PBP plan from the SBP team

The Builders for Builders Program is highly focused and collaborative in nature so selected teams will be able to receive mentorship at any given time, it is important to note that there are a limited number of teams selected for the Builders for Builders Program.

How to join the Builders for Builders Program?

Generally speaking, first of all, the team needs to have built a parachain based on Substrate, and at least has a test network with minimal decentralized application (DApps) functions, and secondly, it has successfully completed all the agreed milestones of the Substrate Builders Program. Can become part of the Builders for Builders Program.

The Builders for Builders Program provides more professional and detailed assistance than the Substrate Builders Program, so the requirements for projects that want to join this program will also be higher. Although the Builders for Builders Program is still a relatively new plan, the performance of the Builders for Builders Program is still worth looking forward to in terms of the content of the plan.

"It doesn't matter if you walk slowly, the important thing is not to stop", this sentence is perfect to describe Polkadot. It has been five years since Dr. Gavin released the Polkadot white paper in 2016, before the first parachain slot auction was launched on the mainnet. The Polkadot official is very aware of the importance of ecological development, and has taken a series of measures to provide careful care for the project, from education and training to the formation of the project and the successful development of the ecology, in the process of the project from 0 to 1, or even 1 to 10 have played an important role.
