Encode x Polkadot Autumn 2024 Accelerator
This is an 8-week incubator to help early-stage Polkadot projects grow into fully-fledged startups.

Polkadot is a leading network protocol which allows arbitrary data — not just tokens — to be transferred across blockchains. Polkadot unites a network of heterogeneous blockchains called parachains which are connected to and secured by the Polkadot Relay Chain.
They’re is solving many of the problems that have held back blockchain technology so far — all in one place, without compromising.
