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.

- A proposal called Ref. 1390 for the Talisman Mobile App didn't get its money because the time to claim it ran out.
- The team forgot to track the deadline and missed the chance to claim the funds.
- They are making a new proposal to fix this so they can still use the approved money.
- They have already started working on the mobile app and are excited about it.
- The team has finished key parts of the app and shown early designs for testing.
- The payment address for the funds is the same as in the original proposal. 
- People are encouraged to vote to help get the payout fixed.

TL;DR
The payout for <a href="https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1390" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ref. 1390</a> (Talisman Mobile App Proposal) expired before we could claim. This ref intends to rectify the payout that was originally approved under Ref. 1390.
The preimage was pulled as an additional measure to prove that the payout was not disbursed.
Q: Why was the payout not claimed? 
A: Due to an oversight on our part, we failed to track the timeline properly and missed the deadline to claim the payout.
Q: What is the purpose of this proposal? 
A: Since the claim on our previously approved proposal has expired, we are currently unable to claim the originally approved funds. We are submitting this proposal to rectify this so that we may continue to deliver on the original proposal.
Q: Are you still planning to fulfill the proposal? 
A: Absolutely, and we have already started. We are already several weeks into the design with the first set of wireframes ready to start user testing, and have completed a number of key technology components in preparation for the mobile app. We, as well as our community are excited to bring the Talisman mobile experience to life.
Q: Proof the preimage was pulled? 
A: You can verify it <a href="https://polkadot.subscan.io/tx/0x511a05e33d83e426cf4817dbe09b44762631c9fed9607ed59bd4725b5e7d72d3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> - pulled after confirmation and expiry of the claim period.
Q: Can you verify the payment address? 
A: Yes, the payment address is a Talisman-controlled multisig, identical to the one used in the original proposal. 
Your vote will accelerate the rectification of this payout previously approved. Thank you for the support! 🙏❤️

Ratify Payout APPROVED by Ref. 1390 - Talisman Mobile Wallet

- Suprime is a new platform that helps startup ideas and fundraising in a clear and honest way using blockchain technology.
- The creators, Kiril and Michiel, have a lot of experience in tech and business.
- They saw problems in current fundraising platforms, like scams and hidden deals, and wanted to fix them.
- On Suprime, everything about an idea, like how it gets money, is visible and can't be changed secretly.
- The target users are startup founders, investors, and regular people who want to invest early.
- They have made a working version of their platform and are looking for more funds to improve it further.
- Suprime wants to partner with others who believe in being open and trustworthy in business.

Preparing

[Suprime](https://suprime.io) is the first fully decentralized Web3 acceleration platform, where every promise is put on chain. From idea description to fundraising, treasury management, and roadmap, everything is managed on-chain, 100% transparent, and verifiable.

### Problem we're solving.

We turned in the wrong direction.

When we started building on this tech (we started in 2016), we envisioned permissionless societies, inclusive businesses, and new forms of mutually beneficial social interactions.

Instead, we have now lies and blunt promises in the media, shady funding platforms, rug pulls, hidden deals made behind the scenes, run by greed and wishes for quick returns.

The web3 acceleration is totally broken.

Over the past years, we faced it too much ourselves, and decided to DIY and build it in the way it was supposed to be, in the very beginning.

Suprime is not a tool, but it's a solution, to serve one single vision - we have tech, we don't need to trust words anymore.

### Team Experience:

We're a group of blockchain builders and entrepreneurs building on web3 stack for the past 7 years, based in the Netherlands.

Co-founders, Kiril and Michiel, met 8 years ago, sharing common entrepreneurial mindset, where

\- [Kiril](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirivanov/) is a developer, who was building tech for the past 22 years

\- [Michiel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michiel-slootweg/) is a grey-haired gentleman with over 25 years of successful startups and investments.

A lot of technical innovations, contributions, and talks were made, to highlight a few:

\- biggest Blockchain hackathon in 2017 in the Netherlands, attended and won ([https://github.com/kivanov82/DutchBlockchainHackathon](https://github.com/kivanov82/DutchBlockchainHackathon))

\- in 2018 founded LoyalGarden, built blockchain payment terminal, and used tokens for onchain payments for a festival (first in the world!) [https://innofest.co/cases/loyalgarden/](https://innofest.co/cases/loyalgarden/)

\- made an innovative AMM to raise money for charity, and won 2019 Blockchain for Humanity award

\- founded [Bright Union](https://brightunion.io) in 2021, and made DeFi a safer place providing DeFi coverage

### Technical Innovation:

While building the Suprime platform, we took the best and most mature tools out there, added a layer of customization, and built the pieces we were missing, to have one single solid solution:

\- we integrated Aragon DAO for startup idea submission and DAO governance

\- connected 'weighted' Balancer pools implementation, to add the fundraising feature

\- added 'social' element (Lens protocol WIP)

\- built a [highly flexible onchain BPM](https://x.com/Suprime_io/status/1856711278359687560) (business process management) tool to glue them together

![Screenshot 2025-04-18 at 14.24.41.png](https://i.ibb.co/67QFCrjV/mdx-Editor-kivanov82-1744979108720.png)

### Technical Feasibility:

We were building Suprime for over a year, self funded, and just released an MVP (see the walkthrough video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMXsBFwnR1w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMXsBFwnR1w)).

All the technical components are built there and operational, deployed on Sepolia (you can give it a try [https://test.suprime.io/)](https://test.suprime.io/)

Once we secure strategic partnerships and the technical audit is done, we're ready to deploy it to Polkadot ecosystem

### Product-Market Fit:

Suprime's audience has 3 types of personas:

\- **startup founders**. They will have a place to list their idea, in a permissionless way, no private chats or inquiries required and the chance of a great idea being lost to the noisiest ones is less

\- **VCs and funds** will benefit from the help of the community - potential leads are already sorted out, so less time is required to find a potential gem. Also, if a lead is secured, they will benefit long run from the help of community and connected services and advisors

\- **retail investors** will be able to 'be early' but this time for real, not because they're told so.

No solution on the market solves all these issues together. There are tools out there, like launchpads but they don't care about success long run. Echo.xyz is kinda similar, but investors have to trust promises of 'leads', and the platform has no transparency whatsoever. Despite that, they helped to raise $105M from 8k unique investors, so the demand is there.

### Growth & Monetization:

The investment and startup acceleration market is huge but heavily depends on the market condition, so we expect ups and downs when designing the treasury burn rate.

The revenue model consists of the fees on money raised, services sold, and DAO investments, the forecast can be found here: [Revenue Model](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Buh8TBulK0Zcu3T0L9KC3FmmhqZnpZW/edit?usp=drive_link\&ouid=101021495369839754794\&rtpof=true\&sd=true)

We see Suprime platform as an addition to the existing web3 accelerators and VC funds, that would serve as a tech partner, so we could build up the distribution quickly.

### Funding:

We've built an MVP and spent around 13 months, using 100% of own funds. During that time, we had two FTEs, and multiple part-time contributors, from marketing, market research, and design. Total expenses at the moment are $85k.

We're looking for an extra round of funds to move it to the next level, and:

* establish a strategic partnership with funds and accelerators, who share same vision of transparency and trustless business models
* make the solution feature-complete, and rollover it to Polkadot
* accelerate Suprime on Suprime platform

- Polkadot plans to launch a new smart contract platform called Polkadot Hub in 2025.
- OpenZeppelin is helping Polkadot by providing tools and support for developers.
- OpenZeppelin's contracts are very popular, with a large amount of money transferred using them.
- They have a 19% share of all transactions across different networks.
- OpenZeppelin's contracts are used by all top 50 DeFi protocols.
- They are involved in many projects that improve security and privacy.
- The collaboration between OpenZeppelin and Polkadot has already begun to prepare for the new platform.

Polkadot&rsquo;s strategy in 2025 is driven by the release of a new EVM-compatible smart contract platform in Polkadot Hub as well as the continued evolution of Polkadot Cloud. As a follow on to the four OpenGov proposals OpenZeppelin completed in 2024 (<a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/105" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>, <a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2</a>, <a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3</a>, <a href="https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4</a>), OpenZeppelin has been collaborating Parity to support the launch of Polkadot Hub in 2025 with developer enablement (Solidity contract libraries and tooling) and to continue to support Polkadot Cloud with iterative updates.
OpenZeppelin brings a wealth of experience in developer enablement to the ecosystem, especially as Polkadot moves to target native Solidity developers and widely-used DeFi protocols for Polkadot Hub launch. Not only has OpenZeppelin has been the &ldquo;point of entry&rdquo; for many developers who are first learning smart contracts, who study OpenZeppelin&rsquo;s contract libraries, such as the ERC20, ERC721, upgradeable, and so on, but OpenZeppelin contracts are the standard contracts that almost all protocols build upon:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://dune.com/openzeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts-metrics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$20 Trillion USD</a> of total value has been transferred across OpenZeppelin contracts</li>
<li>Market Share of ~19% of all transactions on all chains</li>
<li>100% penetration for OpenZeppelin contracts across top 50 DeFi protocols</li>
</ul>
OpenZeppelin is on the leading edge of a number of cross-ecosystem initiatives, including interop, privacy/ZK, and standards creation. Most recently, OpenZeppelin wrote and audited the flagship feature of Uniswap v4, the <a href="https://blog.openzeppelin.com/introducing-openzeppelin-contracts-library-for-uniswap-v4-enhancing-security-and-innovation-with-hooks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hooks library</a>, and is currently developing a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/taiko-and-openzeppelin-partner-to-develop-next-generation-based-rollup-stack-302359509.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">based rollup stack</a> with Taiko.
With this experience, OpenZeppelin can be a strong strategic partner to Parity and the broader Polkadot Ecosystem in their mission to launch a new platform and attract a new generation of developers with Polkadot Hub.
The collaboration has already started, and OpenZeppelin is currently working with Parity following the completion of the last treasury proposal. This proposal provides a context for the official working relationship over the next year.
Please see the full proposal <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UmbQhXxlK7yLwqw1zj45PfC4Hf1OcbkSUEXMTOotRwM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

OpenZeppelin Support for Polkadot Hub and Polkadot Cloud in 2025

This proposal is about getting money from the community's treasury to buy special computer equipment. This will help everyone in the community who has tokens to use a powerful AI language model. 

Key Points:

- Community members with tokens will have special access to the AI, encouraging them to keep their tokens longer.
- This AI will be open to all, not just big companies, promoting fairness and openness.
- Users can use the AI for tasks like writing, programming help, and research.
- Some services from the AI can be sold to others, helping the community earn money.
- As more people want to use the AI, more people will want to buy and stake tokens.
- Developers can use AI tools to improve their work and help create better projects.
- This project will help the community stand out from others using AI in the blockchain space.

The proposal aims to make everyone in the community more empowered and innovative with AI tools.

TimedOut

This proposal seeks approval for allocating funds from the community treasury to acquire high-performance computing hardware necessary to deploy a large-scale language model. This initiative will enable all community members who stake their tokens to access a powerful AI model, fostering innovation, enhancing utility, and strengthening the ecosystem's value proposition.
Rationale The AI and blockchain industries are converging at an unprecedented rate, presenting unique opportunities for decentralized communities. By investing in AI infrastructure, we can provide a valuable resource that benefits our ecosystem, positioning our project at the forefront of this technological shift.
Key Benefits to the Community
1.Exclusive AI Access for Stakers
-Community members who stake their tokens will gain priority access to a cutting-edge AI model, creating an additional utility for our token.
-This incentivizes long-term holding and participation, strengthening the ecosystem.
2.Decentralized AI for a Fairer Future
-Currently, AI capabilities are controlled by large corporations. By hosting an open-access AI model, we provide the community with a decentralized alternative.
-This aligns with our core values of transparency, accessibility, and fairness.
3.Enhanced Productivity &amp; Innovation
-Users can leverage the AI model for content generation, programming assistance, research, and more.
-Developers within the ecosystem can integrate AI capabilities into dApps, boosting the ecosystem&rsquo;s utility and adoption.
4.Revenue Generation &amp; Sustainability
-A portion of AI access can be monetized through premium-tier services for non-stakers, creating a sustainable revenue stream for the treasury.
-Potential partnerships with other projects seeking AI access could further increase treasury inflows.
5.Increased Token Demand &amp; Staking Participation
-As access to AI is tied to staking, demand for the token is likely to increase.
-A higher staking rate reduces circulating supply, potentially stabilizing and appreciating token value over time.
6.Empowering Developers &amp; Creators
-AI models can assist developers with code completion, debugging, and smart contract auditing.
-Content creators can use AI for writing, idea generation, and workflow optimization, driving more engagement within our ecosystem.
7.Strengthening Our Ecosystem&rsquo;s Competitive Edge
-Many blockchain projects are integrating AI, but few provide direct access to their communities. Our initiative sets us apart.
-This solidifies our reputation as an innovative and forward-thinking project.
Implementation Plan We propose allocating funds to acquire a high-performance GPU server cluster capable of efficiently running a state-of-the-art language model. Estimated costs include:
-Hardware (GPUs, storage, networking, power infrastructure): $500,000
-Setup, maintenance, and cloud integration: $100,000
-Security &amp; operational overhead: $100,000
The AI model will be deployed and maintained by a dedicated technical team, ensuring smooth operation and continuous improvements.
Conclusion This investment represents a significant step towards empowering our community with advanced AI tools while reinforcing the value of our ecosystem. By approving this proposal, we position ourselves as pioneers in decentralized AI access, creating long-term benefits for all participants.
We invite community members to discuss and vote on this initiative to drive our collective future forward.

Investment in High-Performance AI Infrastructure for Community Access

- 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.

Propose Curators OG Rust Bounty

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.
