Sponsorship of Bounties for Blockchain Hackathon in Ukraine

TLDR of the proposal: Sponsorship of Bounties for a Blockchain Hackathon in Ukraine. Total cost is 2,100 NEAR.

Detailed proposal:

Hackathon co-sponsorship proposal submitted by a developer team who won a prize at Hack The Rainbow and EthOnline. One of the devs lives in Boston but is from Ukraine so he is headed home for the holidays and will participate in person in this hackathon (he will be the tech mentor for this event).

/==== Chief Bounty ====/

GlobalMoney.io co-sponsoring 1st place with a MacBook Air M1 Gold, 16GM 1B, for a macOS NEAR Wallet in Swift

/==== Bonus Bounties ====/

For 2/3 completed there is an additional prize of 2100 NEAR (split between main winner and those that complete additional challenges).

Potential ROI/impact on the NEAR Ecosystem: Increase adoption/awareness for NEAR with a group of dedicated Ukrainian hackers, as well as build bridges with community organizers. Test-drive the format of community driven hackathons. Also potentially advancing the development of a very cool project that’s working on a cross-chain stablecoin/liquidity implementation on top of NEAR.

Amount of funding: 2,100 NEAR

Project lead (internal/external): Dani (internal) and Richard Tiutiun (external)

Howdy @waverlymaven ,

This is probably a bit of a throwback now, seeing as it’s the middle of '21, but how did this Hackathon go?
