Korean Polkadot Alliance

[VeryWellDone]

STP, RAI Finance and Cobak have joined together to form the Korean Polkadot Alliance (KPA), a non-profit consortium of industry-leading projects and teams in Korea that are building on Polkadot. Top Asia cryptofunds including NGC Ventures and GBIC are also initial founding members. The KPA’s mission is to facilitate and accelerate the development of the Polkadot ecosystem in Korea.

KPA Major Intiatives:

· The first major initiative will be to bid for a parachain slot on Polkadot utilizing the DOT from each foundation of our initial founding members STP, RAI Finance, Cobak along with capital from founding backers NGC Ventures and GBIC.
· The KPA will also facilitate Parachain Lease Offerings (PLO) where DOT holders from the Korean community can stake DOT to receive native tokens from KPA member projects. (More info to come on the mechanics of the PLO)
· The KPA will also help members prepare for the parachain auction process which includes ecosystem strategy, technical advisory, governance, fundraising strategy and awareness with the ultimate goal of securing and operating a successful parachain on Polkadot.
· The KPA is dedicated to building a vibrant and open community in Korea centered around Polkadot. The KPA will organize talks, discussions, meetups and events focusing on the Polkadot ecosystem in Korea.
The KPA encourages any Korean projects, teams and developers that are building on Polkadot to join us on our mission. Existing projects and teams looking to tap into the Polkadot ecosystem in Korea are also welcome!

With PolkaDOT, I have never been more excited than any other platforms, except for BTC and Eth. The development above is just a small showcase why I am convinced that DOT has a great future ahead. Will it be able to rival Ethereum in the coming years? I am looking to that kind of future. I don't understand fully how DOT works but right now I am already seeing the many uses-cases and possibilities with this rising platform. DOT will be a big source of envy for many other projects out there still struggling to gain traction and support of a big community. Viva PolkaDOT!

Everyone has personal opinion about to choose a  coin. Not all coins are popular to me or not i like all coins. It might be similar to others like you. You aren't fascinated with the development of DOT.
As a new coin, DOT will have to prove a lot of things, including gaining popularity, mass adoption to cope with the present crypto world. If DOT can implement all aspects, i hope it can then be a competitor of Ethereum otherwise it is too early to say.

Paid or not, uniting them in one ecosystem can in fact provide positive things for crypto development, Polkadot in particular.  I personally will continue to support their innovations and ideas, let's see what these prospects look like in the future.
