Gm Polkadot is requesting a joint tip of 9910 DOT for DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden for their work on The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months. They were involved as Head Ambassadors and worked on collecting, coordinating, and editing the Ambassador Fellowship manifesto, which led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. They are asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs each, which they believe is a fair compromise between their expectations and the work they delivered. Their work can be checked through their reports and the Project Phoenix timeline, Polkadot Ambassador fellowship manifesto, Phragmen Initiatives Fund, and Proposals 1267 and 1287.

PROPOSAL EDUCATING IN LATIN AMERICA WITH THE POLKADOT ECOSYSTEM PART 2

Subcoin, a Bitcoin full node project, received a grant from Web3 Foundation to create a decentralized Bitcoin fast sync mechanism using the Polkadot SDK framework. However, they faced issues with Substrate's inability to import large states during state sync, leading to Out-of-Memory errors. This problem affects other Substrate-based projects as well. The main issues are:

1. Out-of-Memory issue when importing large states.
2. Lack of persistent state sync support.

To address these problems, a follow-up grant proposal was submitted to Web3 Foundation, but they recommended treasury funding instead. The goal is to improve Substrate's state sync capabilities by resolving the OOM issue and implementing persistent state sync, allowing Substrate-based projects to use advanced sync strategies regardless of chain state size. Some fast sync-related bugs have also been identified and fixed to improve Substrate's sync mechanisms.

Treasury Proposal: Funding for Enhancing Substrate Fast Sync for Large Chain States

A new proposal aims to integrate SolidityScan, a blockchain security platform, with key projects in the Polkadot ecosystem like BiFrost, Moonbeam, Hydration, and Unique Network. This integration will provide users with security scores and analysis for verified contracts, enhancing security, transparency, and user experience. The integration will be done in two phases: first, with SolidityScan integrating with explorers, and second, with direct API integration on ecosystem explorers. The one-time API integration fee for each explorer is $2,500. SolidityScan has already integrated with over 40 Blockscout-based blockchain explorers and has a successful track record. Edgetributor SubDAO will help with curation and operations for this integration. The total amount requested for this proposal is 11,000 USDC.

Polkadot Growth Initiative

Polkadot's social media management is decentralized, with contributions from ET90266, the Polkadot Social Media Editorial Board (EB), and Distractive. The EB has five members, and there is a proposal to fund their salary for a 6-month term. Each member would receive 2,500 USDT per month. The Web3 Foundation legally owns Polkadot's social media accounts and has entrusted ET90266 to manage them. The EB works with ET90266 and Distractive for content creation and brand alignment. The first EB had impressive growth in reach and engagement. The second EB was selected through an application and interview process, and its members have backgrounds in business development, content creation, social media, copywriting, marketing, and other Web3 areas. They aim to increase Polkadot's social media engagement and reach. The funds will be paid to a 4/6 multisig controlled by the 5 members and ET90266, and distributed in 3 tranches over 6 months. ET90266 will not be compensated from this proposal.

A small spender request of 32,500 USDT has been made for a documentary on blockchain gaming, focusing on Polkadot's ecosystem. The goal is to educate non-crypto-native game developers about the benefits and challenges of blockchain gaming. The documentary is already completed and has been self-funded, including international flights, hotels, and other expenses. It targets gaming developers who are curious about blockchain but skeptical. The documentary is honest and accessible, featuring interviews with Polkadot native teams and other participants. If approved, the documentary will be promoted by Polkadot distribution partners such as Dot Play, Kusamarian, and Distractive. The documentary aims to provide objective information to indie developers as they begin their research on blockchain, helping them onboard to Polkadot without negative bias.

Dotmemo is a decentralized platform on Polkadot Asset Hub that lets people create digital memories of events. These memories, called POAPs, are like special tokens that show you were part of an event. Before Dotmemo, there wasn't an easy way to make these tokens on Polkadot without using other services.

The people who made Dotmemo want to get money to keep making it better. They have four main parts to their plan:
1. An Indexer to track POAP activities.
2. A Backend to manage POAP logistics.
3. A Frontend with a landing page and pages to claim and create POAPs.
4. Maintenance to keep the app running and add new features.

They are asking for $42,000 to do this. They have already made over 3,000 POAPs, helped more than 10 events, and had over 3,000 users. They have also worked with big events and universities in the Polkadot world.

Retroactive Tip For Solo Content Creation-2

Hello Polkadot Community,

I worked as a Helper Ambassador (HA) for the past 3 months and now I'm asking for a reward. I did many things, and you can read about them [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CXO_2Jyf-JupuvrlrOaXALMoZiaCMLFf4n9xqbwcIuQ/edit#heading=h.7t3ohyu5uhiy). I worked 20 hours a week and I want to be paid $62.50 per hour.

I started a team called "The Core" to help find new talent and show people how great Polkadot is. I paid for some of the team's projects with my own money, and I hope to keep doing that until we can get money from the treasury.

I will keep working to make the ambassador program better and I will keep leading "The Core" team. We have a special event called "Blockspace" that happens every 3 months to show people what Polkadot is and how to use it. You can learn more about the first Blockspace event [here](https://x.com/the_coore/status/1833516406932930715).

If my reward request is approved, some of the money will go to "The Core" team's account to help fund their work.

Please read the [document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CXO_2Jyf-JupuvrlrOaXALMoZiaCMLFf4n9xqbwcIuQ/edit#heading=h.7t3ohyu5uhiy) about my work over the last 3 months and feel free to ask questions or give feedback.

Thank you.

We are discussing a proposal for a research project about OpenGov, a new governance system for the Polkadot network. The project is based on a request for proposals (RFP) from the Web3 Foundation (W3F). OpenGov was introduced on Kusama in November 2022 and later on Polkadot in June 2023. The goal of this research is to study how people participate in OpenGov and understand their motivations, obstacles, and patterns.

The research will look at questions like:
1. What does OpenGov participation look like?
2. Are there incentives for participating in OpenGov?
3. What obstacles do people face when participating in OpenGov?
4. Who are the people participating in OpenGov?
5. Why do people participate in OpenGov?
6. Are there trends in discussions outside of OpenGov?
7. Are there patterns in how people vote on OpenGov?

We will collect and analyze data from OpenGov and ask questions to the participants. The full proposal can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CDEk4J-g9ISgOLiu_D6mwg5Jgbk9JOKyW97dcSLcycE/edit?usp=sharing), and the discussion on the Polkadot Forum is [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/an-analysis-of-governance-participation-on-opengov-implementations/10143).
