Apart from being simple and robust, your solution has the additional benefits that:
<ul>
<li>People are motivated to acquire a core as early as possible to secure a lower price.</li>
<li>Once someone has a core, they’re unlikely to give it up, since they want to keep their relatively cheap one.</li>
</ul>
I don’t think your solution is final or fully fleshed out yet, but it’s a solid suggestion and a great starting point for discussion.

Notion is an excellent tool for organization, I really like it, but it really has to be done manually, etc. But the level of control in Notion is fantastic!
I liked the idea of ​​the app that Daniel mentioned, it seems to solve part of the problem, but not the whole problem… I think it will need testing.
But any app developed to improve people’s work is always welcome!
Keep up the good work Anaelle <img src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/clap.png?v=14" title=":clap:" class="emoji" alt=":clap:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20">

Ok, I am in San Juan Puerto Rico which is one day behind you with 13 hours of difference in time. So I could speak to you any time from 7 am to 11 am your time, just let me know what is best for you. I am Bridgeforth on the server and I will send you a DM there. Thank you.

I was working some time ago on a airdrop type pallet to launch with the asset hub to allow evm devs to be able to get some tokens so they could deploy on the asset hub but unfortunately i hit some readblocks along the way. If thats something you think could still be usefull for the success of the hub i might dive into it again and maybe seek dome help from other devs also.

ohh ok cause i was curious about how you would actually profit from it since from what i got its a steam-like but you dont actually sell games so i was wondering where the revenue would come from.

Absolutely honored to read this, Shawn — thank you for the kind words and for spending time with us in Florida.
As one of the Polkadot Ambassadors here (as we know, it takes a team), I’m incredibly proud of the vibrant, welcoming, and deeply human-centered community we’ve cultivated in Miami. Your reflections capture exactly what we’ve worked so hard to build: a space where real relationships are prioritized, ideas are nurtured, and innovation is driven by empathy as much as by technology.
The energy here during Miami Mega Week was undeniable — not just from the events and activations, but from the people who showed up, listened, and leaned into possibility. If you’re in the Polkadot ecosystem (or even just curious), I invite you to come visit and experience firsthand what this kind of local engagement can produce. It’s not just about Miami—it’s a model for how we can grow meaningful ecosystems across North America and beyond.
Re: your comment about Miami being the gateway to LATAM, I am writing this reply from Panama, where I spent the last two days with the Polkadot team (from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) at Panama Blockchain Week. The President of Panama, the Mayor of Panama City, and all attendees are looking for innovative blockchain solutions. We were the only protocol in the room, and now working to activate a Polkadot community here as well. Many solid BD and IR opportunities to follow up on, as well as devs exploring our ecosystem now. Also see Shawn Tabrizi’s talk at Talent Land Mexico 2025 this week, and again, the results of the Polkadot team there. LATAM has opportunities everywhere…let’s go get them!
Grateful for your insights, Shawn—and excited for what’s ahead. <img src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/palm_tree.png?v=14" title=":palm_tree:" class="emoji" alt=":palm_tree:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20">

Hello,
We are glad to announce that we are part of the Ink!ubator 2.0 program to bring Verifiable Offchain Computing to ink! smart contracts (RISC-V + <code>pallet-revive</code>).
This post will be used to keep the community informed about our development progress.
<h2><a name="p-28734-project-overview-1" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-project-overview-1"></a>Project Overview</h2>
<h3><a name="p-28734-overview-2" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-overview-2"></a>Overview</h3>
On-chain computation capabilities are inherently limited by blockchain design, which affects all smart contract platforms including ink!. Our project aims to complement ink! smart contracts by providing verifiable off-chain computing capabilities through Phala Cloud’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), enabling developers to build more complex applications while maintaining blockchain security guarantees.
This solution bridges the gap between blockchain’s security and off-chain computational power through:
<ol>
<li>
A Professional SDK Suite
<ul>
<li>Enterprise-ready toolkit for seamless smart contract integration</li>
<li>Built-in ACID compliance for reliable state management</li>
<li>Production-grade security with TEE protection</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Production-Ready Oracle Suite
<ul>
<li>Price Feed Oracle: Real-time market data integration from CoinGecko</li>
<li>VRF Oracle: Cryptographically secure random number generation</li>
<li>Graph API Oracle: Universal indexer connectivity (SubQuery, Subsquid, The Graph, …)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Next-Generation AI Integration (Future implementation, outside of this grant)
<ul>
<li>Full Eliza OS integration for advanced AI capabilities</li>
<li>Direct LLM connectivity through Phala Cloud</li>
<li>Interactive proof-of-concept with Tic-Tac-Toe game</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h3><a name="p-28734-ink-ecosystem-impact-3" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-ink-ecosystem-impact-3"></a>Ink! Ecosystem Impact</h3>
Verifiable Offchain Computing is crucial for ink! smart contracts because it enables complex computations to be executed off-chain while ensuring their integrity and verifiability on-chain. Here’s why it matters:
<ol>
<li>
Interoperability with External Systems
<ul>
<li>Smart contracts often need to access external APIs, databases, and oracles.</li>
<li>Verifiable Offchain Computing ensures that off-chain data used in smart contracts is correct and tamper-proof.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Verifiable Computation
<ul>
<li>To ensure the integrity of off-chain computations, Remote Attestations are generated and Phala L2 Explorer tools simplify trustless verification.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Use Cases
<ul>
<li>Rollups: Off-chain execution with verification.</li>
<li>Oracles: Retrieve and verify off-chain data for smart contracts.</li>
<li>AI: Use AI/LLM in your ink! smart contracts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
In summary, Verifiable Offchain Computing provides many benefits and use cases for dApps developed with ink! smart contracts.
<h3><a name="p-28734-project-details-4" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-project-details-4"></a>Project Details</h3>
<h4><a name="p-28734-sdk-details-5" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-sdk-details-5"></a>SDK Details</h4>
The SDK will be designed to simplify the connection between smart contracts and dApps deployed on Phala Cloud. 
Its primary goal is to enable transactional and atomic cross-blockchain operations, ensuring seamless integration and interaction.
<h5><a name="p-28734-the-challenge-6" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-the-challenge-6"></a>The Challenge</h5>
Developing dApps that interact with blockchains can be a common but challenging task, especially when it comes to handling concurrency issues in off-chain programs. 
Without a proper synchronization mechanism, this may end up conflicting between the contracts and dApp deployed on Phala Cloud.
Consider a real-world scenario: a smart contract distributes computation tasks to workers. These workers compete with each other when claiming tasks from the blockchain. Ideally, each task should only be claimed once. However, without coordination among the workers, they might send transactions simultaneously to claim the same task, resulting in inconsistent smart contract states.
Consistent state management is crucial when developing an application that communicates with a blockchain. Developers need a reliable and transactional way to perform operations, where read and write tasks are combined into a single unit and executed atomically on the blockchain. This approach aligns with the ACID principle found in transactional database management systems.
The sdk is here to simplify development by providing a stable, ACID-compliant connection with ink! smart contracts. This eliminates concurrency issues and enables a request-response programming model for seamless interaction between the workers and on-chain smart contracts.
<h5><a name="p-28734-key-benefits-7" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-key-benefits-7"></a>Key Benefits</h5>
<ul>
<li>Seamless connectivity between ink! smart contracts and workers</li>
<li>Reliable KV-store on blockchains for durable state management</li>
<li>Transactional (ACID) on-chain KV-store designed for stateful dApps deployed on Phala Cloud</li>
<li>ACID-compliant read, write, and contract call operations for consistent data handling</li>
<li>Request-response programming model that simplifies interactions between worker and on-chain smart contracts</li>
</ul>
<h5><a name="p-28734-architectural-diagram-8" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-architectural-diagram-8"></a>Architectural Diagram</h5>
Ink! smart contracts, built with ink! v6, will be deployed on <code>pallet-revive</code> and an application, built on js/ts and using PAPI sdk, will be deployed on Phala Cloud.
Websocket and http requests will be used to communicate between the ink! smart contracts and the application on Phala Cloud.
Our sdk will manage the synchronization mechanism and the developers would have a reliable and transactional way to perform operations, where read and write tasks are combined into a single unit and executed atomically on the blockchain.
The SDK will be divided into two parts:
<ul>
<li>the client will be integrated as a Rust library within ink! smart contracts.</li>
<li>the rollup will be integrated as a JavaScript library within applications deployed on Phala Cloud.</li>
</ul>

Ink!ubator 2.0 program - Bring Verifiable Offchain Computing to ink! smart contracts (RISC-V + pallet-revive)

It looks promising as a proof-of-concept, but… I’m confused
According to the project link you shared, the first milestone includes most of the core functionality. However, although you indicate that the first milestone has been completed, the current state feels more like a basic mock-up rather than a feature-complete implementation. Taking a look at the goals of the first milestone:
<ol>
<li>Code Editor: Upgrade the Monaco editor with TypeScript-specific features for Polkadot API development, including autocompletion for polkadot-api functions, inline type checking, and parameter hints.</li>
</ol>
It has a few PAPI functions, but it gets completely lost on anything else. For instance, it’s not able to show parameter hints or type-checking for any interaction with the typedApi beyond “typedApi.query”.
<ol start="2">
<li>React Component Preview Panel: Implement the component rendering environment that displays real-time previews of React components as they are being edited, with proper error boundaries and state preservation.</li>
</ol>
This feature was difficult to discover, to open it is by clicking on the “Typescript” button above the code editor. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work, when activated it breaks with an error making it unusable.
Goals 3-5 is regarding state management, connection to a chain and its parachains.
The current implementation gives the impression that the code editor is still in a mocked-up state. Modifying the code and pressing run doesn’t really change anything about the result or what’s shown in the console. Or using the default example for “query account balance” on polkadot shows as if ALICE has 1223 DOT, which isn’t the actual value of ALICE.
And lastly, the UI is full of features that are half-implemented or non-functional. I would suggest focusing on completing and stabilizing individual components before moving to the next feature.
The concept is nice, but in its current state (version 1.0.0…) is not really usable as a sandbox. I’m looking forward to seeing this project come into live, but I’m worried it will get abandoned or not completed to its full potential if the current state represents “milestone 1”.

Dot Play Gaming in Polkadot - Strategy Update!

Thanks for sharing this <a class="mention" href="/u/nomadbitcoin">@nomadbitcoin</a> — the work your team is doing to onboard new developers into Polkadot is incredibly important and appreciated across the ecosystem.
At Pop, we’re focused on making it easier and more powerful for Rust developers to build with ink!, Polkadot’s native Rust-based smart contract language. With tools like <a href="https://pop.r0gue.io/cli/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Pop CLI</a>, we’re helping streamline the developer journey, from launching chains to deploying ink! contracts, reducing friction and accelerating adoption.
As Polkadot Cloud emerges as a strategic direction for the ecosystem, Pop Network, together with ink!, is uniquely positioned to help manifest this vision — providing the tooling and smart contract infrastructure needed to build composable, cross-chain (and in the future with JAM, cross-service) applications without the complexity of full parachain development.
We’d love explore ways to collaborate to help onboard Rust developers to the ecosystem seamlessly. Let’s keep building toward a more accessible and unified future for Polkadot.

Shifting the Focus: Onboarding Web2 Developers Instead of Competing for Web3 Talent

Thanks to <a class="mention" href="/u/olahfemi">@OlahFemi</a> for the advice, and it’s being followed strictly 
we look forward to working with you more.

It is polkadot “a place” ? A technology, a community, a network and an economy, maybe.
In the other hand, I would suggest to avoid “subjective” marketing gimmicks like “best” - why makes it the best? The slogan needs to give me info about the technology in a nutshell - it should be definitory. Best is a categorization that doesn’t mean anything except for us, as we said “it is the best”.
Language is a precision tool.

<code>virto-connect</code> is a simple front to make interaction with our trustless holy grail combo convenient: pallet-pass(no wallets) + “nft memberships with gas tank”(no tokens - part of my proposed <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/sustainability-modezl-of-a-tokenless-protocol/8683">tokenless sustainability model</a>).
Behind the scenes pass works similar to pure proxies, it gives you a regular keyless SS58 account and allows you to register “devices” that can dispatch calls on behalf of the SS58 address, passkeys are the first kind of devices but more forms of authentication will come like verification of ZK proofs or oauth tokens.
Then you have the nft memberships, in Kreivo it’s configured centered around DAOs, with some KSM anyone can create a DAO and buy these special nfts that come with a “gas tank” and were minted by the governance of the protocol, in our case only DAOs can use the memberships to assign them to their users in whatever way the organization sees fit, for the demo a bot acting on behalf of a test DAO will give your pass account the membership it needs to submit extrinsics without having any balance. The bot is a centralized component but totally optional, you can have a DAO that adds members in other ways in including smart contracts.

Confirming

PolkaWorld Ops and Maintenance proposal：2025.4 - 2026.3

Bifrost has proposed a liquidity loan to the Polkadot treasury, requesting a loan of 1,000,000 DOT (about $4,000,000) to be repaid with 6% interest. This loan aims to increase vDOT-DOT liquidity, support vDOT growth, and expand its use in DeFi applications within the Polkadot ecosystem. Bifrost has a good track record of repaying treasury loans with interest, having brought a total income of 8,370.5523 KSM to the Kusama Treasury. The loan will be used to mint vDOT, diversifying the Polkadot treasury's DOT capital and earning staking rewards. Bifrost is a liquid staking app-chain for all blockchains, allowing users to earn staking rewards and DeFi yields across multiple chains. The loan's success will be measured by tracking vDOT minting TVL, DOT-vDOT liquidity growth, unique address growth rate, and new vDOT ecosystem integrations.

Deciding

Bifrost DOT liquidity loan for vDOT liquidity for one year; repay in full with approximately 6% interest.

On April 16th, James Slusser and Phunky attended FBBA's "Blockchain Day" in Tallahassee to advocate for the Polkadot ecosystem. They networked with legislators, answered questions, and explained Polkadot's features and benefits. They also met with Commissioner Weigel and his staff to discuss legal language for DAOs. Polkadot was recognized in both House and Senate chambers, thanks to DOT token holders joining the FBBA. Phunky and James were not compensated for their advocacy work, and they are requesting a tip to help cover their costs.

I would like to propose a tip for James Slusser and myself for our advocacy of the Polkadot ecosystem on Wednesday, April 16th during FBBA's "Blockchain Day" in Tallahassee. We both had an incredible day networking with legislators in both the House and Senate, answering their questions and telling them about Polkadot.

In every meeting we had with legislators and their aides, James went to great lengths to explain : 1) what Polkadot is; 2) how our governance system works; 3) why our security and scalability provide enterprise grade solutions via blockchain technology; 4) that the State of Florida should provide a legal framework for DAOs.

Later in the afternoon, we had an hour long roundtable with Commissioner Weigel and his staff at the Office of Financial Regulation, during which we both encouraged them to continue their work with the Florida Bar to investigate potential avenues to craft legal language that could be used for. a future bill during the next legislative session.

Moreover, thanks to DOT token holders previous decision to join the FBBA (Florida Business Blockchain Association), President Sam Armes made sure that Polkadot was recognized in both chambers before the House and Senate began conducting their legal business for the day.

You can read a longer reflection that I posted on X the next day [HERE](https://x.com/ThePhunky1/status/1912854196627341624).

On a final note, I would like the community to know that neither of us was previously compensated to do this advocacy work. The tip will help defray the costs of getting to the capitol, and spending nearly 10 hours of our time there on behalf of Polkadot.

Thank you in advance for your consideration,

Phunky

Tip for Tallahassee Advocacy 

Mythical and Xcavate are two parachains that own a lot of Coretime but missed the chance to renew it. Someone bought all the cores because they think the price is too low. Without Coretime, parachains can't make blocks. The person who bought the cores is asking for a lot of money, so they might be a scammer. To help Mythical and Xcavate, a proposal is made to give them two cores. This will add 4 new cores to the system and let them use Coretime for about 2 months. The proposal also wants to improve the Coretime system so that good projects can always get cores and avoid scammers. In the future, parachains should use the auto-renew feature to avoid this problem.

Assigning Coretime to Xcavate and Mythical

PoKe Berlin Team is requesting a 6-month extension to transform promising projects into an operational state and maximize the impact on the Polkadot ecosystem. They have achieved all their milestones so far and secured signed agreements in over 10 industry verticals. Some of the most promising projects include collaboration with a Chinese technology conglomerate, diaspora-financed health insurance for an African country, mandatory travel insurance for an African country, a German Defense Industry Project, projects in the government and private sector for an outer territory of the USA, Central American Ministry for the Environment, Blockchain Use Cases in Supply Chain and CO2 Network, and a Photovoltaic Remote Control Project for German Municipalities. The team will focus on finalizing concepts, developing high-level roadmaps, involving Polkadot ecosystem partners, and offering project management support. The team members have deep roots in the Polkadot ecosystem and have demonstrated excellent skills in business development and key accounting.

# 6 Months Extension for the PoKe Berlin Team - Transform Projects to Operational State &#x20;

Requested amount: 290,899 USDC



# Short Description

The scope of PoKe is business development that targets enterprises and governments to leverage Polkadot’s technology and to hand over projects to the Polkadot community. For that the W3F funded PoKe through the Decentralized Futures Programme for one year from May 2024 onwards. 

PoKe has achieved all its milestones to date! To ensure the maximum impact for the Polkadot ecosystem we believe that an additional six month period of key accounting and project management is necessary. As already mentioned in our [initial forum post](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/scytale-digital-s-involvement-in-the-w3f-futures-program-via-poke-the-polkadot-key-account-unit/4881) and the application to the Decentralized Futures Programme we now ask the community to fund this period. 

**The goal of this period is to transform the most promising projects into an operational state.** 

[**Link to full proposal**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I-8UET7yJIV7CG6l56pXliYXaZghePTUwUgCRhF1SA0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.8akw0h5h82wu)

# Achievements

Our efforts have proven highly successful, revealing significant potential for Polkadot’s adoption across enterprise and government sectors. We have secured signed agreements and built a strong project pipeline in more than 10 industry verticals, including government, healthcare, energy, and defense. Promising opportunities in various stages have emerged from these verticals. Some projects have already secured an MoU or a collaboration agreement, others will be secured within the scope of PoKe.

The following projects are the most promising ones from our point of view, and they would require additional management attention to get them to a state where the implementation project can be kicked-off. Some projects will also require management of the Polkadot ecosystem consortium and local entities during the implementation phase resulting in a hand over to the local organizations.

* **Collaboration with Chinese Technology Conglomerate**
 A MoU has been signed with a multinational technology conglomerate with a dominant presence in China and beyond. An affiliate of the conglomerate wants to move forward to integrate their solutions with Polkadot in different areas of collaboration.
* **Diaspora-financed health insurance for an African country**.
 A Signed Collaboration Agreement between a local company on the ground and Scytale for facilitating a pilot project is in place. The project is progressing smoothly, with the MOU signed by the Ministry of Innovation, a local university, a local company and the W3F. The PoKe team currently works on the LOI. This project has the potential to be rolled out throughout the African Union.
* **Mandatory travel insurance for an African country**.
 The concept was presented and discussed on site with high-ranking government representatives and insurance executives. The concept was accepted by everyone, especially the insurance companies who showed high interest in the project because it opens up another revenue stream for them.
* **German Defense Industry Project: Resilient Identification System**.
 We had two high level workshops with the company in December and March. The discussion centered around how they could leverage Polkadot and blockchain technology. Three areas of collaboration are planned, such as building a prototype in the area of maritime communication, participating in  a project funded through the EU military research fund and they are interested in participating in the PBA. The former PoKe team has established a trusted relationship with the decision makers and  we believe a lot of key accounting will be necessary to be successful.
* **Projects in the government and private sector for an outer territory of the USA.** PoKe is discussing three projects in different stages in the government and private sector for an outer territory of the USA. The first project involves establishing a decentralized energy production system managed by local communities, coupled with a decentralized blockchain-based energy exchange. The second project focuses on creating a blockchain-based land registry, while the third aims to transform the Caribbean territory into a central hub for air cargo. These projects have the potential to open the door for the Polkadot ecosystem for future and more projects within the US, which has always been a challenge in the past.
* **Central American Ministry for the Environment**
 The Ministry is positioning itself as a key driver of blockchain initiatives in the country. In collaboration with them, we have identified promising use cases, which are now being further defined and planned. While these serve as initial pilot projects, the government is also actively exploring additional blockchain solutions within the Polkadot ecosystem. The pilot projects still require management and support by PoKe to bring them to a state where they can be implemented. We believe that some key accounting will increase the probability for Polkadot to become the center of the country's blockchain strategy.
* **Blockchain Use Cases in Supply Chain and CO2 Network**
 A global service provider with a focus on digital transformation and automation is exploring the use of Polkadot nodes.They are seeking a compelling use case, potentially for one of their customers, to justify a Polkadot project. For example, they are in discussions with a leading gas monopolist developing the first CO2 network in Germany. The goal is to use blockchain technology to track and document CO2 transferred into the pipelines, as well as the consumers who store, transfer, or transport the CO2. 
* **Photovoltaic Remote Control Project for German Municipalities**
 Project for the municipalities of a major German city to remotely control photovoltaic systems for stabilizing the power grid by managing electricity oversupply from small to medium-sized PV systems. This project has the advantage that it can be used as a blueprint for further projects in the German energy market.

# &#x9;Deliverables

The initial goal of PoKe was to identify verticals, establish connections with decision-makers, identify problems, and develop solutions using Polkadot, and then move these solutions to the MoU stage. The objective now is to make these projects operational to benefit Polkadot and its ecosystem.

Due to time constraints, the remaining PoKe time is not enough and may result in missed opportunities for the Polkadot ecosystem. During the 6 months we will focus on:

* Finalizing concepts, requirements, technical approaches, and solutions.
* Developing high-level roadmaps, project plans, and timelines.
* Finding and involving Polkadot ecosystem partners to build consortia.
* Developing sustainable business and funding models for new companies and projects.
* Offering project management support for complex projects, even after handover.
* Generating follow-up projects for the Polkadot ecosystem.
* Ensuring publicity and press releases for projects with MoUs and agreements.
* Presenting successful MoU completions and key learnings at conferences.

# Team Members

The team has deep roots in the Polkadot ecosystem and has due to its experience a profound understanding of the requirements and workings of large organizations. Its members have been part of PoKe since the beginning (even since the ideation phase of PoKe) and they are the driving force behind the aforementioned projects. The team members have demonstrated excellent skills in business development and key accounting.

****This new proposal replaces referenda 1472, we are switching to USDT&nbsp; and a tranche based funds release schedule to ease pressure on treasury funds, everything else remains the same as 1472.****
The Future of Polkadot Depends on Talent
The Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) is the single largest and most effective pipeline of talent into the Polkadot ecosystem. Over the past three years, close to 750 learners have completed our courses, many of whom now produce significant contributions towards Polkadot or ecosystem projects.
We are at a pivotal moment. The future of Polkadot depends not just on innovation but on a steady stream of highly skilled, motivated builders who can create and execute impactful projects, advance the network's capabilities and drive adoption. The PBA has proven its ability to deliver, our alumni are shaping the ecosystem, and demand for our programs has never been higher.
To capitalize on this momentum, we are requesting nine months of funding to scale our programs and diversify our offerings, making PBA more inclusive, relevant and far-reaching than ever before.
Why support PBA? A Track Record of Success
<ul>
<li>We are the largest producer of well educated, Polkadot-native talent &ndash; No other initiative has onboarded more developers successfully.</li>
<li>Close to 70% of 409 PBA Campus graduates actively contributed to open-source Polkadot-related repositories in 2024.</li>
<li>Trusted by ecosystem leaders &ndash; Parity, The Web3 Foundation and other top teams recruit directly from our alumni.</li>
<li>Expanding accessibility &ndash; Our online course, PBA-X, launched in January with 580+ learners, and close to 60% completion rate, proving demand for remote education for a diverse audience. Ongoing Evolution:</li>
</ul>
Scaling &amp; Strengthening the Polkadot Talent Engine
With this funding, we will:
<ul>
<li>Expand PBA&rsquo;s flagship in-person PBA Campus program (Wave 7) to train and place the next cohort of high-impact developers.</li>
<li>Launch The JAM Course, an intensive in person course demystifying Polkadot&rsquo;s JAM protocol, for top-tier engineers from the Web3 community.</li>
<li>Grow university partnerships, integrating PBA content into curricula and securing the next generation of builders.</li>
<li>Enhance alumni engagement through ongoing participation orientated events, education, placement and mentorship opportunities.</li>
<li>Build upon the success of PBA-X to offer new content based on the needs of the ecosystem, whilst continuing to run the original PBA-X content for 5 more cohorts in 2025.</li>
<li>Continue to identify, mentor and funnel new projects into the ecosystem via the Pitch and Mentor program.</li>
</ul>
Polkadot&rsquo;s growth depends on its builders. By funding PBA, we secure a sustainable, scalable pipeline of developers, entrepreneurs and advocates who will drive the ecosystem forward.

Peer3 is developing an open-source Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows users to execute smart contracts directly with one another, bypassing the need to route each interaction through the blockchain. This project aims to improve the user experience of Polkadot by providing a real-time execution environment without any transaction fees. The SDK enables real-time, seamless interactions, inherits security from distributed ledgers, and eliminates unnecessary transaction fees. The has project successfully delivered all milestones for a Level 3 Grant from the Web3 Foundation.

The goal of this proposal is to seek treasury funding for a production version of the SDK. The team is asking for 350k USDT upfront and a delayed payment after 6 months for 250k USDT and 30k DOT. The funds will be used to hire more top talent to work on the SDK full time and cover operational costs. The DOT portion of the payment will be used for reserves to pay bonuses/incorporate into the compensation structure of the team and align their long-term financial interests with the Polkadot ecosystem.

The Peer3 SDK has the potential to unlock new possibilities for Web3 adoption and transform industries by providing real-time, decentralized solutions that redefine blockchain technology.

Peer3 SDK - real time peer-to-peer smart contracts 

- A group called Bifrost and Hyperbridge is asking for 795,000 DOT.
- They want to help make it easier for people to use DOT in different places.
- They noticed that not many people or money can get into Polkadot, which slows down its growth.
- Their plan is to give rewards for providing DOT liquidity in other networks like Arbitrum and Ethereum.
- The aim is to make DOT more popular and used widely in the web3 space.
- This will help developers and users join the Polkadot ecosystem better.
- The idea started as a group project but had to be split into smaller parts.

Polkadot DeFi Singularity

- A proposal for $598,100 is made to create a Talisman mobile wallet for iOS and Android to enhance user experience in web3.
- The mobile wallet will connect with Talisman’s existing desktop products for a seamless experience across devices.
- Key features will include portfolio management, wallet connect, biometric authentication, and AI-powered trading.
- The mobile wallet aims to increase accessibility and attract more users, especially since many prefer mobile apps.
- Users provided positive feedback and have expressed a need for a mobile Talisman wallet.
- The goal is to boost Polkadot's growth and allow users to efficiently manage their crypto assets anywhere.
- Talisman has over 140,000 active installs and aims to provide a user-friendly experience in managing crypto assets.

Talisman - Mobile Wallet Proposal

- We are excited to start the second part of our program for 2024 after successfully finishing the first part.
- In Phase 1, we had over 350 participants learn important skills through an Educational Series and the ink! Bootcamp.
- Now, we want to help these participants join the Polkadot Hackathon to use their skills on real projects.
- We are asking for $385,000 to support this next phase, which is split into three parts.
- The Hackathon will take place in Q1 of 2025, allowing developers to show their talents.
- This next phase helps graduates grow and bring new ideas to the Polkadot community.
