What it’s about

PolkaPort East emerged from the decentralisation efforts of Polkadot, and is supported by the Decentralised Futures program of the Web3 Foundation. We are here to connect, educate, and promote Polkadot’s adoption in Hong Kong and beyond.

INVESTOR RELATIONS

Many of Polkadot’s initial investors are from HK and Mainland China. We speak with them regularly, keep them updated on the latest developments and introduce new investors to the ecosystem.

EVENTS

PolkaPort East is all about community building. We host regular Polkadot meetups in HK, fireside chats with Polkadot founders, investor dinners as well as larger conferences. 

BD & GROWTH

We act as a local contact point for teams already building on Polkadot, and actively introduce new ones to the ecosystem. We can help with accessing grants and VC funding, and generally help navigate the Polkadot ecosystem.

Who we are

Our team combines TradFi expertise with a strong conviction in Web3. We have worked on different aspects of the ecosystem in the past, and came together because of our shared vision for the future of Polkadot.
