# Sub0 Mumbai 2026

**Sub0 Mumbai 2026** is a plan by a group called **GRYD** to hold a big Polkadot event in Mumbai, India on **November 7, 2026**.

- GRYD wants about **300 to 400 people** to come to the event.
- It would happen at **WeWork Raheja Platinum** in Mumbai.
- The event is planned for the same week as **Devcon 8** and **ETHGlobal Mumbai**, so many builders will already be in the city.

- The money would cover the venue, food, T-shirts, stage equipment, a videographer, and gifts for helpers.
- There would be a **main stage** for talks and **side stages** for coding workshops.

# Polkadot App Onboarding Referendum

- The Polkadot App lets new people pick a username when they join.
- A group called PCF runs the app and helps sign people up.
- This vote sets the rules so sign-ups can work.
- It allows up to 1,000,000 new users on two chains.
- It also gives three special names to the app: getcash.dot, dotns.dot, and browse.dot.
- It does not spend money from the big shared pot or change the main rules.
- Leaders can turn off the sign-ups any time they want.

# DOT DAO Strategy Mandate

## What is it?
- A plan for DOT DAO, a group in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- It sets a direction, not exact technical steps.

## Main Goals
- Focus on getting real people to use Polkadot, more than growing size or locked money.
- Push Polkadot to compete with Web2 and mobile apps, not just other crypto platforms.
- Create "dotStables," like dotUSD, that are backed by DOT and easy for anyone to make.
- Build a Polkadot Product Platform where users and products meet directly.

## How It Works
- A single official dotStable setup, audited and safe, with DOT DAO support.
- Rewards go to on-chain rules, not outside groups, and reach real users with per-person limits.
- Products should feel like Web2: free tiers, easy names, mobile-friendly.
- Products should also stay Web3: private, self-owned, no logins required.

## What's Next
- Groups like the Fellowship must follow this plan if funded.
- The work is big but modular, so it may be easier to manage.
- New AI tools may help reduce the workload.

# Referendum to Fix Asset Hub Treasury Transfers

## What is happening?
Some computer programs were supposed to send money — 5,000 USDT and 5,000 USDC — again and again to the old treasury.

- Two programs ran out of money and could not send the full amount.

## What does this referendum do?
- It **stops** all four old programs.
- It **fixes** the permission problem.
- It **starts new programs** to send a big amount — about 1.7 million USDT and 1.7 million USDC — to the **new** treasury.

# Polkadot Network Suffix Update

## What is this about?
- Polkadot is a system of connected blockchains that talk to each other.
- Each chain has a special code called a **network suffix**.

- But the better choice would be "dot", matching the dotns system.

## What will happen?
- Leaders want to change the suffix from "polkadot" to "dot".
- They will use a special root command to make this change.
- The change happens on two chains: **Asset Hub** and **People Chain**.
- A message will be sent from Asset Hub to People Chain to update both.

dotUSD is a new digital money for Polkadot. It tries to stay equal to one US dollar. People can lock up DOT coins to create dotUSD. This helps Polkadot have its own safe money without relying on outside companies. The plan adds a place to trade DOT for dotUSD. It starts with a test phase using USDT. Over time, it will add more features to keep the value steady using DOT. The goal is to make Polkadot independent and strong for its users.

# Polkadot System Parachain Collator Bounty 2nd Top-up

**What it is:** A plan to give more money to the people who help run Polkadot's system parachains (special computers that keep the network working).

**How much money:** 96,775 USDT (a type of digital money).

**What time it covers:** July 2026 to January 2027 (7 months).

**What is new compared to last time:**
- More helpers are paid: 38 instead of 30, plus 8 more for Bulletin.
- Normal collators now get $250 a month instead of $300.
- Bulletin collators get $500 a month because their job costs more.
- Curators get $250 each a month. The coordinator gets $1,000 a month.
- Local infrastructure costs $575 a month.

**Why now:** The price of DOT went down, so the old money ran out faster. Asking in USDT avoids that problem.

**Not included:** Kusama collators (a different network) are not part of this request.

Cancel Referendum #1940: Replenishing the Technical Fellowship

The Fellowship Salary account is running out of money by the end of 2026. To keep paying salaries, a plan asks for 4,800,000 DOT from the Treasury. This money will be slowly changed into HOLLAR over 12 months to cover salaries starting in October 2026. The plan needs about $3,525,000 for the year, based on how many members are expected. If less money is used or the price of DOT goes up, the extra cash stays safe for later. One big vote will start everything, but people can stop it if things change.

Cancelled

Replenishing the Technical Fellowship Salary Account with HOLLAR

Polkadot has a special account called the burn account. Everyone can send DOT coins there. Nobody can take coins out because no one has the key. It is a safe, fixed place to burn tokens forever. The address is made from a known code, so people can check it. This helps remove coins from circulation without breaking Polkadot's rules. Projects, exchanges, and people can use it too.

Rejected

Wish for Change: Confirm a canonical, keyless burn account for Polkadot

substrate-api-client is a free tool that helps computers talk to Polkadot and similar blockchain networks. It is useful for small devices that do not have much power.

This plan asks for money to keep the tool working well for 16 months. The team will update it, help people who use it, and make small fixes. They also want to add new features and answer questions from users.

The work will cost $38,500. The team has done this before, and they share updates every 3 months. This helps many projects in the Polkadot community.
