Welcome to Decrypt’s Week in Polkadot, our regular round-up of the latest developments in the Polkadot ecosystem.PolimecThe platform allows its community members to assess and support Web3 projects, granting them access to funding information and project evaluations, and allowing them to join funding rounds.The protocol, according to Polimec, is specifically built with compliance with U.S. regulatory standards in mind, and users must first obtain a Deloitte KYC Credential before they begin to invest. Members of the platform can choose to become evaluators. These will then take part in a 28-day evaluation round where they perform due diligence on a new project, assessing factors such as the project’s whitepaper, team, and tokenomicsThese evaluators will be rewarded for their efforts with tokens if the projects they support manage to make it to the fundraising phase successfully. Some of the first projects set to be hosted on the platform include emerging markets-focused blockchain Polkadot’s decentralized financing platform #Polimec is launching, and the first batch of projects, including #Apillon, #Mandala, and #ImpactScope, is worth watching!
