- **Resources**: Includes a deck of reports, DOT Report, CORE+ Report, and a network overview.
- **Comparison**: Showcases value and commitment to long-term monitoring of the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **Community Engagement**: Aims to collaborate with the Polkadot community for positive outcomes.

CryptoEQ proposes to provide comprehensive fundamental research on three topics to benefit the Polkadot ecosystem and the wider market. The topics include XCMv3, OpenGov, and Blockspace. The proposal's complete details are available at Polkadot | CryptoEQ Proposal. The proposal's resources include a deck showcasing reports, a DOT report, an example of a CORE+ report, and a one-pager providing an overview of the network. The proposal's value and commitment to long-term monitoring of the Polkadot ecosystem are compared to other proposals.

Featured Research Proposal: Empowering the Polkadot Ecosystem [CryptoEQ]

- Circle is a financial technology company that created USDC, a digital dollar (stablecoin).
- USDC is backed by real money and can be exchanged 1:1 for US dollars.
- Circle publishes reports on USDC's reserves and has its finances audited yearly.
- USDC is registered on Polkadot, a blockchain platform.
- Circle wants USDC to be used to pay transaction fees on Polkadot without needing other tokens.
- This change could make it easier for people to use USDC on Polkadot.
- It could help attract more users and developers to the Polkadot ecosystem.
- The proposal for this change will be voted on by Polkadot's governance system.

Circle requests Polkadot Relay Chain governance to make USDC sufficient on Polkadot, allowing it to be used to pay transaction fees and exist on accounts without DOT. This proposal can attract mainstream users and simplify user experience, expanding access to USDC liquidity and helping the ecosystem grow. No price/timeframe/resources mentioned.

- Moonbeam's lease on the Polkadot network will expire in October 2023.
- In June 2023, Moonbeam secured a new parachain slot for lease periods 13 through 20.
- A "swap" of lease periods is needed to extend Moonbeam's lease through June 2025.
- If the swap isn't completed by October 2023, Moonbeam will stop producing blocks.
- The swap involves Moonbeam (parachain 2004) and Moonelement (parachain 3342).
- A misconfiguration in Moonelement prevents it from starting, so Polkadot OpenGov Referendum 139 is needed.
- Once both referendums pass, the lease swap will allow Moonbeam to operate for 96 more weeks.

Moonbeam proposes to extend its lease period on Polkadot network through June 2025 by executing a "swap" of lease periods with Moonelement. Moonbeam has created a referendum to authorize the swap from its side, and another referendum (Polkadot OpenGov Referendum 139) will execute the swap on behalf of Moonelement. The proposal needs to be completed before October 2023, and once the parachains swap leases, the Moonbeam Network will be able to continue operation without interruption for the remainder of the full lease period (approximately 96 weeks from August 1, 2023).

### Nodle Parachain Upgrade Incident

1. **Incident Overview**: The Nodle Parachain became non-functional after a failed upgrade. The issue was caused by migration code taking too long, exceeding the relay chain's tolerance.

2. **Solution**: To fix the problem, the team proposed using the `forceSetCode` functionality on Polkadot to restart the parachain without reverting transactions.

3. **New Runtime**: A new runtime was prepared with the following changes:
   - Identical spec version.
   - Same storage prefix for the uniques pallet.
   - Removal of the problematic migration code and associated pallet.

4. **Testing**: The team tested the solution by:
   - Setting up a local relay chain and parachain.
   - Inducing the issue with a faulty migration code.
   - Using `forceSetCurrentCode` to apply the new runtime.
   - Verifying that the parachain resumed block production.

5. **Proposal**: The proposal to apply the new runtime was submitted with a preimage hash and length.

6. **Prevention**: Future prevention strategies include improving testing tools to detect similar issues and enforcing benchmarking of migration code.

Nodle's Parachain is bricked after a failed upgrade. Proposal to use forceSetCode functionality on Polkadot to restart it. A new runtime has been prepared and tested. Prevention strategy includes improving testing tools and enforcing benchmarking of migration code.

**Women in Blockchain Canada Proposal**

- **Date:** 28.07.2023
- **Requested DOT:** Approx. 35,000 USD
- **Project:** AI for network security
- **Goal:** Develop a machine learning tool to detect network anomalies and provide early warnings for security issues.
- **Technology:** Uses adaptive AI and unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
- **Team:** Experienced developers with over 60 years of combined experience, including AI expertise from Daniel Kovach.
- **Previous Work:** Currently working on a web3-enabled website for the Stellar Foundation.
- **Full Proposal:** Available at [this link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GBc8xCEFfxA_hGNCsmznwjgZ3YWtA4wislE6VlNIUJA/edit).

Women in Blockchain Canada requests approximately 35,000 USD on July 29th, 2023 to develop a proof-of-concept machine learning tool for security on a network level using adaptive A.I. and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The project team includes frontend and backend developers, a project manager, and a lead developer with experience in artificial intelligence.

Proposal: Artificial Intelligence for security monitoring on a network level 

DrCAO proposes to build an AIWeb3 Chinese community unit to support Chinese content creators in Dotsama, build connections for different parachain projects, and provide the latest information. The proposal has received positive feedback and is open for further community discussion and feedback.

- The current `max_code_size` on Polkadot is 10 MiB, but it should be 3 MiB.
- This is causing a problem because the `consistency_check` function expects a smaller size.
- The proposal suggests changing `max_code_size` back to 3 MiB.
- This change is needed to fix the `consistency_check` function.
- Parachain teams should ensure their runtime upgrades are under 3 MiB.
- Most parachains currently have runtime upgrades under 3 MiB, so no major issues are expected.

WHO: Polkadot network

WHAT: Modify the on-chain configuration to set the `max_code_size` to 3 MiB from the current 10 MiB.
