Hi, Thomas, community Lead of Bifrost

People should vote NAY to this tip proposal.
1/ It doesn’t worth 200 DOT.
The whole documentation is available on our docs here
https://docs.bifrost.io/dapp-tutorials-and-use-cases/liquid-staking-on-bifrost
and in our support website here
https://notion.bifrost.io/Stake-DOT-and-get-vDOT-84b4cd300c67427ab3da69f15b30738b

2/ The post is inaccurate. Step 4 is wrong and misleading for users.
YOU DON’T NEED BNC ON BIFROST FOR FEES.
-> we have flexible fees, just bring DOT that’s all you need.

3/ The post has very little engagement.

4/ The cost for the tweet is overestimated.
I mean even Wagmedia wouldn’t have compensated this tweet for such an amount. On average, it would have been maybe 30 DOT maximum based on Wagmedia.

5/ Bifrost is running a Yapper campaign with 50 000 BNC (season 2), so this tweet falls under the eligibility. The content creator may receive around 700 BNC maximum for such a tweet (basic one), around 100$ not more.
Not even sure it would be selected because it’s super basic.

So I’d like to thank Ethan for pushing content creators to produce some contents for Bifrost, but not at all cost.
The Treasury shouldn’t be involved here, please let’s not start another KOL battle to spend such a crazy amount of DOT for a basic tweet, that’s not a good signal for Polkadot and also for us at Bifrost.

if the initiative is good, and we are thankful for that, we’d like the community not to support it for all the reasons described above.

Thx in advance.

The Polkadot ecosystem has had many newcomers in 2025 thanks in part to Kaito, GigaDOT, $WUD, DOT Bulls etc.



On Twitter, Telegram and Discord I often see newcomers ask how to do certain actions unique to Polkadot, such as mint vDOT, and cross-chain transfer DOT to Hydration to buy WUD.



I publicly asked for someone to create a guide on topics like these in return for a 200 DOT tip![Screenshot 2025-05-04 at 18.14.42.png](https://i.ibb.co/nMHTdCcv/mdx-Editor-ET-1746375731799.png)



NRL took me up on it and created this detailed guide on how to mint vDOT:

This tip is for his content creation.

Polkadot is a growing ecosystem with many new users in 2025. Some popular projects include Kaito, GigaDOT, $WUD, and DOT Bulls. New users often ask how to perform unique actions on Polkadot, like minting vDOT and transferring DOT to Hydration to buy WUD. A guide was requested for these topics, and NRL created a detailed guide on minting vDOT. The creator was rewarded with a 200 DOT tip for their content creation.
