OmniAvatar.one (early PolkadotAvatars.com) | [Small Spender] Referendum #1830

- We kept running the Polkadot Spanish Twitter account in December.
- The old project ended, but we wanted to keep the account active.
- This helped keep our Spanish community interested and informed.
- We did this so there wouldn't be a big drop in followers or interaction.
- It was a smooth change to a new way of running the account.
- This report asks for payment for that December work.

[Small Spender] Editorial Board – Polkadot Spanish X Account (December 2025)

- We want to put a special tool called CREATE2 on Polkadot Asset Hub.
- This tool helps big apps like Uniswap work on many blockchains with the same address.
- There's a problem: the usual way to install it doesn't work because of a gas price rule.
- The solution is to use a special governance call to install it correctly.
- We tested this on a test network and it worked perfectly.
- This will help developers build more apps on Polkadot.
- Once installed, it will work forever with no extra steps.

TimedOut

Deploy Universal Deterministic Deployment Proxy (CREATE2 Factory) on Asset Hub

- We want to add a special tool called CREATE2 to Polkadot Asset Hub.
- This tool helps big apps like Uniswap work on many blockchains at the same address.
- Normally, we can't add it because of a gas price problem.
- We will use a special method to add it without changing the address.
- This method has already been tested and works.
- Adding this tool will help more developers build on Polkadot.
- It's safe and only needs to be done once.

Polkadot Staking Dashboard: Protocol-Aligned Development

Polkadot Upgrade 2.0.5

Here's a simple summary of the proposed changes to Polkadot:

*   **Stop Burning DOT:** The network will stop destroying DOT tokens from fees and other activities.
*   **Save DOT in a New Pool:** Instead of being burned, that DOT will be saved in a new account called the DAP.
*   **Slash Money Goes to the Pool:** DOT taken from misbehaving validators (slashes) will also go to the DAP pool.
*   **Validators Need More Skin in the Game:** Validators must lock up at least 10,000 DOT of their own and charge at least a 10% fee.
*   **Protect Nominators:** Regular stakers (nominators) will not lose their DOT if a validator they back misbehaves.
*   **Faster Unbonding:** Nominators can get their staked DOT back much faster, within 1-2 days.
*   **Goal:** These are the first steps to build a new system for managing DOT and prepare for future upgrades.

PolkadotAvatars is a project that lets you use the same video game character in many different games. It's like having one toy that you can play with in all your favorite games.

Here's what it does:
- You can make one special character on a website.
- You can use that same character in games made with Roblox, Unity, or Unreal game engines.
- The games don't need to use cryptocurrency to work.
- Your character can earn rewards in games.

The team wants to build more over the next year, like:
- A better website to make your character.
- Tools for game makers to add this feature.
- New games to play with your character.
- More parts to customize your character.

This helps Polkadot by:
- Letting more people use and see what Polkadot can do.
- Giving a fun use for digital collectibles.
- Preparing for future online identity tools.

- This is about changing a payment plan on Polkadot.
- A payment of 8,250 USDC was supposed to happen on January 25th, 2026.
- Now, it is proposed to be moved to March 15th, 2026.
- This gives the community more time to check the work before paying.
- The extra time allows people to review and decide if the payment should happen.
- It helps make sure the work is done correctly before money is sent.
- The change is to ensure accountability and proper oversight.
- This follows rules to protect community funds.

Ensure Accountability - Delay Payout for #1800

- A Polkadot program to improve user experience is being closed.
- It spent a lot of money, but most of it went to the people running it, not to outside teams.
- A big part of the money paid for reports that only helped one project at a time.
- The people in charge also got most of the money, which wasn't a good setup.
- Some tools they built, like a new user interface library, were not used by anyone.
- A few good things came from it, like a standard way to write addresses.
- The proposal is to stop the program and give the leftover money back.
- The goal is to try again with a better plan in the future.
