Polkadot Runtime Upgrade to v9230

- The proposal asks for 2,635 DOT (about $27,300) to create tools for a special online market for graded assets and unique digital items (NFTs).
- Grading helps make sure items like sports cards and diamonds are real and of good quality.
- These graded items can be sold in parts, so more people can own a share.
- The plan includes making a safe place to buy and sell these items with expert verification.
- There will be special forms to help track and manage items like tax credits and leased properties.
- The project will also include easy-to-use websites to help people navigate the marketplace.
- They plan to develop the project in phases, starting with setting up graders and moving to creating the online marketplace.

**Requested Amount**: 2635 DOT = $ 27,300 @ EMA30 DOT Price=$ 10.359

**Short description**: Development of two pallets in support of several use cases related to a gated marketplace for graded assets and fractional uniques (NFTs).

**Detailed Proposal**: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI)

As more real-world assets continue to make their way to blockchain applications, there is an increasing need to ensure that the assets have been verified or graded by an expert third party/appraiser. This treasury proposal supports Substrate pallets that allow developers to launch a gated marketplace for graded assets that can be fractionalized in configurable quantities.

## Graded Assets and Marketplace
### Example Use Cases
#### Coins and Cards
Sports memorabilia and historic or rare coins have long been collected as a hobby and store of value. Sports memorabilia alone is estimated at $5.4 Billion, but has a reputation for fakes. A common marketplace for these is eBay, and in their buying guide, they recommend having cards graded: 

> These independent organizations evaluate a card for authenticity and quality. Many use a 10-point grade scale. They then secure the card in a sealed, tamper-evident plastic holder complete with a certification tag, grade designation, and other pertinent card information. Graded cards command premium prices and allow collectors to buy and sell with confidence. 

The grading organizations provide a physical representation of their certificate and grade embedded within a plastic holder, but these attestations lack digital verification and trust. 

#### Diamonds
We previously built a blockchain-powered, cooperative marketplace for diamonds. Since it is a complex process requiring a special skill set and instrumentation, and there is a high incentive for fraud, all diamonds must be graded by a community-approved grader (e.g. Gemological Institute of America or IGI). 

Once graded, these diamonds are then purchased by the [Diamond Standard Company](https://diamondstandard.co/technology), where they are molded into pucks of equal value, stored in a secure vault, and minted on the Ethereum main net. See the [detailed proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI) for more details.

#### Tax Credits
In many areas, tax credits offered by governments are transferable from the credit earner to other taxpayers interested in redeeming the credits. It is often the case that a credit may be earned by a person or company that does not have enough of a tax burden to leverage the credit. However, the validity of a tax credit requires an assessment from a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), lawyer, or other trained professional. 

The grader must review a credit owner’s documentation and evidentiary materials to determine if in fact the credit will be honored by the taxing authority (government). 

### Pallet - Graded Assets and Marketplace
This pallet will support the selection and approval of graders, accounts that will perform asset verification or assessment on behalf of asset owners. Similar to the Identity pallet’s registrars, these parties may have a corresponding fee for their services, and the community’s trust in their attestation is secured by their reputation.

#### Asset Redemption
Some graded assets in our use cases also require a specific skill set or equipment for asset redemption. The pallet will also support this functionality, where again the redeemer pays a fee to a redemption specialist for the service.

The pallet will be compatible with the prebuilt Uniques pallet.

## Fractional Uniques
### Example Use Cases
Some of the above mentioned use cases are fractionalizable, meaning a new asset may be spawned from an existing one and the new one inherits the attributes of the parent. Here are more details on these and other relevant use cases for this pallet.

#### Commercial Leases
When a commercial office space lease is signed, it becomes a future promise to pay the rent from the renter to the owner (landlord). This instrument can be sold or used as collateral for borrowing. The landlord may sell it shortly after executing it in order to receive capital immediately. It would be sold for less than the face value due to the risk and time-value-of-money. The difference between the sales price and the face value is the return awarded to the buyer.

Leases are typically monthly, and each individual month is a separate future promise to pay. The leases can be fractionalized into monthly units where each one has a different value because the time to receipt is different.

#### Cannabis Traceability and Regulation
The 'war on drugs' has failed, and cannabis legalization and regulation is sweeping free cultures around the world. In the United States, cannabis has remained prohibited at the federal level, and the regulation is happening at the state-level. Nearly all 50 states have some form of cannabis regulation, with the trend towards more support for allowing and taxing recreational cannabis.

Although each state applies a bit of nuance to their specific rules, one rule remains consistent. All cannabis material must be closely tracked and accounted for. Growers purchase a bag of seeds, such as 100 seeds of a single strain. These are placed in water to germinate, where some will succeed and others will not. Of the successful ones, some are planted into a cube of potting soil substrate and others are frozen for safekeeping.

The cubed plants are grown to become "mother plants", where the yield, potency, and other traits are closely measured and monitored. These mother plants spawn clones and also flower that is dried and packaged. The flower is sold, often to a dispensary, where it is sold to the consumer.

At each of these steps, a new Universally-Unique-Identifier (UUID) is assigned to each unit, where its characteristics and weight are recorded. Test results, images, videos, PDFs, and other files or content can be attached to each UUID, and by default, each UUID inherits the parent's attributes. These attributes may also be overwritten, and/or uninheritable attributes may be added to each UUID.

In the context of the pallet, each UUID is a fractional unique. We are actively modeling this with [growers](http://nuponixlabs.com) in the state of New York, where recreational cannabis is legal and the details of licensing and regulations are actively being decided. We think a blockchain-enabled platform on Polkadot would be a compelling solution for more transparency and regulatory compliance in this fast growing industry.

### Tax Credits
Tax credits are earned or created with a specific face value, determined by the taxing authority and corresponding asset grade. Buyers of the tax credit may not have a tax liability equivalent to the face value of the credit listed for sale. It is common practice for the owner to split the credit into a child asset in the precise amount desired by the buyer. 

Signaling even more interest in this space, in a [recent report](https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/04/26859007/goldman-sachs-explores-nfts-in-the-context-of-financial-instruments), Goldman Sachs reported that they are “exploring NFTs in the context of financial instruments”.

## Pallet - Fractional Uniques
In terms of data structure and functionality, tax credits, commercial leases, and cannabis units all can be modeled as fractional uniques/NFTs. 

Each use case requires:

1. Attaching any various data elements or supporting materials (e.g. files)
2. A parent-child relationship:
- Each NFT starts as a root and supports spawning 0..n child NFTs.
- Each child NFT inherits attributes and data from the parent, but may also override them.
3. Numerical constraints may be applied to each NFT, for example: 
- Sum of all tax credit children must match the original face value of the root. 
- Sum of the weight of cannabis must be tracked and enforced, even what goes to "scrap". 
- Face value of a lease is the sum of its years, quarters, months, and weeks.

Just like graded assets above, the pallet will be compatible with the prebuilt Uniques pallet.

## User Interfaces
We will build polkadot-{js} style web user interfaces for all functionality. Since these components are general purpose, high fidelity screens and interfaces will be developed by individual use case projects and are beyond the scope of this proposal.

## Documentation
We will provide detailed documentation, including step-by-step instructions, on how to use both pallets. 

## Milestones
Detailed milestones and hours are included in the [detailed proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI).
### Phase 1
User on-boarding functionality for registering, configuring, and approving asset graders by an asset class. 

### Phase 2
This milestone is for developing the Fractionalizable Uniques pallet, including spawning, attribute inheritance, and hierarchical numeric constraints.

### Phase 3
This milestone is for development of the marketplace and settlement processes, including listing for sale, accessing lineage/descendants and attributes, making offers and purchasing, accepting offers, and settlement with fees and commissions.

IBC 2022 is a 8-Month long plan for Hackathons, Education & Certification, DeFi competitions and Start-up Pitch Competitions converging into a Indian State Government led conference to be held in November 2022. Our vision is to deliver 1 mn blockchain engineers, 1000 Startups and 10 mn retail traders with a continuity support program of education and certification in 1000 schools.

The first edition of International Blockchain Congress (IBC) held in August 2018 was a resounding success with over 5000+ attendees, out of which 200 represented the government. Conducted in 2 cities across 3 days, the conference attracted 300+ international delegates and 500+ hackathon participants. Receiving warm feedback from the government and the blockchain community, IBC media decided to continue with the conference on a much grander scale starting this year.

The second edition is bigger, better and will be game changing. Not only in terms of scale, IBC 2.0 will set benchmarks in the blockchain industry, raise the bar for attracting prospective investors for companies/ projects/ start-ups and bring in top line blockchain talent on a common platform.

- A new series of Web3 workshops will be held by SydTek DAO and Women in Blockchain Canada.
- The first session is on June 7th at the AIBC Americas Summit in Toronto, Canada.
- Dr. Justin Goldston and Justyna Osowska will teach the first workshop.
- Future sessions will be online in Bit.Country, a metaverse platform.
- The goal is to include more diverse participants, especially students.
- There are plans for a special event at Georgetown University.
- The total proposal amount is $37,325.88 USD, with travel expenses included.

This proposal is for the first in a series of Web3 workshops delivered by SydTek DAO and Women in Blockchain Canada. The first session will take place at the AIBC Americas Summit on June 7th in Toronto, Canada, and will be delivered via a Web3 Masterclass by Dr. Justin Goldston and Justyna Osowska. The subsequent sessions will be delivered online at a later date within Bit.Country, a metaverse within the Polkadot ecosystem. In the event that live streaming will not be ready in Bit.Country, a contingency plan is in place to deliver the Blockchain 201 and 301 workshops in Cryptovoxels.

The purpose of these events are to get more people, namely more diverse users, within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, and we will initially target students within the higher education sector. In an effort to bring in more developers into the ecosystem, we look to market across the SydTek DAO, Women in Blockchain Canada, and the Polkadot (upon approval) social media platforms to bring more users into these workshops.

Also, to save on travel costs, the presentation below also includes travel expenses for an event at Georgetown University for Tranche Two where three members of the team will educate students and policymakers on Web3, blockchain, and Polkadot. As Dr. Goldston is a Graduate Advisory Board Member at Georgetown, he has been discussing blockchain and Web3 with Georgetown administration and policymakers in the United States as of late. With Georgetown ranked among the top universities globally in blockchain by Coindesk - https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2021/10/04/the-top-universities-for-blockchain-by-coindesk-2021 - the team feels this event has the potential to create a positive impact to the Polkadot ecosystem and the world.

Below is the presentation that outlines the two projects, the team members, and the agenda for the three events.

My name is Sonal Banerjii. You can find me on riot as **@sb_ksm:matrix.org**.  I have been writing documentation and translating Polkadot and Kusama content for the Urdu speaking community. I’ve been awarded multiple tips for my efforts towards the community.

According to the World Report on Disability  by WHO from 2011, the most marginalised people when it comes to education are not the poor but rather people with special disabilities. Particularly in the crypto space, these folks are being widely excluded from even providing them the basics of crypto education.

It’s our duty to include newcomers into this industry through educating them properly and while there will always be people that are not willing to put in the time, we’ve seen over and over again that there’s many that do want to learn more, but simply can’t find good educational sources to do so. 

Since Polkadot is one of the most used crypto platforms and we’re seeing so many folks getting acquainted with it, I believe opening up such a learning opportunity by teaching them just the basics would bring about a revolution in the crypto space.

Our goal with this proposal is to create 30 educational videos geared towards people with special disabilities with a focus on explaining the basics. Based on my research with sign language interpreters as well teachers and other creators in this space, creating sign language based videos require a couple of people including:

- Sign language interpreters
- Conceptual content creators
- Instructional designers
- Visual story makers
- Editors

Connecting and getting all of these folks on board does require some funds and hence the need for this proposal. 

You can take a look at the entire proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-GzRyrXL2CwVo-1tHTHluXy0y7v6LLTldNPC7SxJgIY/).

Since we would get all the above mentioned creators on board, we wanted to make sure that they have the resources in place to create these videos. Hence, we are proposing a one-time payment for all the milestones.

We would love to hear your feedback and get your thoughts around the project. Feel free to leave a comment below, or reach out via email, anytime.

Updated Calculation 24 May 2022

**Proposal Value- $39,600**

**7 day AVG- $10.03**

**Total Requested DOT- 3948.15**


Update : We have completed 80 percent of our videos that we mentioned in our proposal and we are conducting school workshop across different cities. We will be publishing our detailed report in the first week of April 2023. 

Proposal : Creation of sign language based tutorials around the Polkadot and Kusama for people with disabilities.

PolkaWorld Ops and Maintenance proposal:  2022/6 - 2022/8

- The Web3 Foundation and other teams joined the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2022 to talk about blockchain technology.
- They wanted to help important leaders learn about Polkadot and its uses.
- The goal was to build relationships with business leaders and journalists who don't usually know about Polkadot.
- They aimed to show how Polkadot can help businesses and improve real-life situations, not just finance.
- The foundation also wanted the media to understand blockchain and its impact on our lives.
- They believe teaching today's leaders will help create positive changes for the future.

Web3 Foundation, together with the parachain teams of PureStake (Moonbeam), Enjin (Efinity), BOTLabs GmbH (KILT), Trace Labs (OriginTrail), Robonomics, and Bit.country to participate in one of the most influential global events; the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2022. In order to achieve real change for tomorrow, we need to educate the leaders of today, many of whom attend the WEF: this presents a unique opportunity to build brand awareness and interest for Polkadot, build connections with enterprise audiences, business, tech, and mainstream media groups so that they better understand blockchain technology, take part in the Web3 roadmap and see Polkadot as the best technology platform for building blockchain projects.
The goals of this proposal are:

- to build Polkadot awareness among policymakers, business executives and CEOs, top-tier journalists and technologists, as these people are usually not part of our audience

- to create interest and establish strong relationships with them

- to present Polkadot products/networks/platforms/solutions

- to show the business audience how they could benefit from Polkadot products/networks/platforms/solutions and how Polkadot is already applicable in real-life cases, beyond DeFi

- to make the media audience understand blockchain technology and Polkadot and how blockchain can impact the way we live and do business

- to educate the leaders of today in order to deliver real change for tomorrow.

Further information on the proposal, including milestones, budget, agenda, participants and more can be found on [THIS LINK](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GvXdn0mH4cOYTNYhWId3WA-a_SieSFupR4IIe71BC4M/edit)!
