@kaue.near [Posted on DevHub](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1733) ## Idea: Idea: NEARCON Hacker Travel Stipend - Kaue Cano Hello DevHub & Near community! I’m Kaue Cano, co-founder of Pollum, a Venture Studio from Florianópolis, Brazil. We've been immersed in the Near Ecosystem since 2021, when we first attended Nearcon, where we actually got to know Near Protocol's tech and people behind it. Our main contribution so far has been developing Fluxus, a DeFi primitive, which was recognized at the Metabuild Hackathon 2021-2022 and the Encode Club NEAR Hackathon 2022. We've also organized a few events locally in Brazil to further drive Near education and adoption. You can check out some pics [here](https://gov.near.org/t/near-floripa-around-the-world/29884), as well as a bit more info [here](https://gov.near.org/t/introduction-near-floripa-regional-hub-on-the-brazilian-silicon-island/26666). Project Track Record: Fluxus: Winner at Metabuild and Encode Club NEAR Hackathons. Details: [Link to Project](https://devpost.com/software/fluxus). For this year’s NEARCON, the entire OG Near Pollum team, skilled in AI, is planning to attend. We aim to enhance BOS components' portability and usability by integrating them with LLMs and autonomous agents. Travel and Accommodation: Traveling from: Florianópolis, Brazil. Estimated Costs: Flights: $1200 Accommodation: $300 Miscellaneous: $300 Total: $1800 With this rough estimate, I'm requesting the $1000 stipend to partially cover costs. We really appreciate your consideration for the stipend to support our attendance! Regards, Kaue Cano
