I am posting my stipend proposal to ease this pressure - as per the standards @yarotska.near following that of @mintlu.near shared in the NEARCON telegram group. **Past Hackathon Experience** One of the criteria outlined for the stipend has been previous hackathon experience. Below are my previous hackathon submissions and results. * ETHGlobal Paris - [GLSwaps defi application](https://twitter.com/ETHGlobal/status/1683156569544949760) * Overall Finalist Winner * Grandma leveraged swaps - enabled users to make up to 50x leveraged swaps on various coins * ETHGlobal Waterloo - [ChatBOS](https://ethglobal.com/showcase/chatbos-zqjq6) * NEAR Track Prize Winner * Air Stack Bounty winner * ChatBOS leveraged front end composable components to feature a ChatBot directly integreated with GPT for questions and Airstack to make wallet queries * NEARCON 2022 - [EcoCity](https://devpost.com/software/ecotech-city) * EcoCity developed a marketplace to source and fund sustainble communities with cryptocurrency * Other related links * [DevPost profile](https://devpost.com/a-liutiev?ref_content=user-portfolio&ref_feature=portfolio&ref_medium=global-nav) * [Github](https://github.com/aliutiev) Travel Details I will be making the trip to Lisbon from Waterloo, Canada via Toronto.
