<p>A proposal on the Polkadot community to sponsor Daly was widely accepted by the majority of the community members. The results on the Polk Assembly <a href="https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/514" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">website</a> showed that about 95% of the community was in favor of the ambassadorial deal. The proposal was up for debate from February 19 to March 14. It also required about 290,000 DOT tokens worth $2.1 million to cover the fees for the sponsorships and other expenses.</p> 
<p>Reacting to the update, the community contributor that led the proposal on Polkadot Chris Wade said that the Indy 500 is iconic and one of the greatest racing events.
