### Polkadot Treasury Proposal for Social Good

1. **Objective**: Allocate 1% of Polkadot Treasury funds to social good projects.
2. **Purpose**: Enhance the ecosystem's positive impact and demonstrate social responsibility.
3. **Phases**:
   - **Formation**: Establish criteria and identify potential projects.
   - **Allocation**: Create a collective to oversee fund distribution.
   - **Review**: Monitor and adjust the initiative based on effectiveness.
4. **Criteria**: Projects must have a positive societal impact, align with Polkadot's values, and be transparent.
5. **Benefits**: Attract new users, support beneficial projects, and ensure transparency.
6. **Community Involvement**: Engage through the Polkadot Social Good Builders community.
7. **Impact**: Improve public perception and set a precedent for other blockchain projects.

Polkadot proposes to allocate 1% of its Treasury funds for social good projects to enhance the ecosystem's positive impact. This initiative seeks to demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility. The proposal includes three phases to establish criteria, allocate funds, and review the effectiveness of the initiative. The criteria for social good projects include a clear and measurable positive impact on society, alignment with the broader goals and values of the Polkadot ecosystem, and transparency. This initiative benefits Polkadot by opening it to new users and organizations, supporting projects that contribute positively to society, and establishing clear guidelines and oversight for the allocation of funds.

[Wish For Change] Pledging to allocate 1% of Treasury Spending to Social Good Projects.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: PoToC will request funds from the treasury to support a salary structure and sub-treasury after a formation period to establish members and display effectiveness. The salary structure will be bounty-centered, and the exact constants for the size of the bounties and baseline salary will be proposed through a secondary document in `Phase II`. The setup phase should take at most 6 months, the probation period from 6 months to 1 year, and the business as usual phase will start after the probation period.

Proposing The Polkadot Tooling Collective

- There is a proposal to change how extra funds, called "top ups," are requested for projects using the DOT token.
- The price of the DOT token has gone down, making it hard to ask for more funds using DOT.
- It is suggested to use stable coins like USDT or USDC instead, which are not as affected by price changes.
- Many current proposals are asking for top ups, and the DOT price is $5.60 currently.
- People are discussing when it is right to ask for these top ups, considering how they can impact projects.
- The goal is to make a fair system that helps projects without causing problems due to price drops.

Establish a rule for "top up" in Polkadot proposals to avoid the negative impact of DOT token price variation. Proposes using USDT/USDC stables instead of DOT token. Suggests considering parameters for when to do top ups and when not to, such as the size of the proposal or event. Points to a Polkadot referendum as an example. Urges the community to use the $7 million in USDT/USDC available for proposals.

Establish a rule for "top up"

- A proposal suggests including Dot Code School in marketing for Polkadot.
- The school teaches how to create web3 applications using the Polkadot SDK.
- It has two catchy taglines focused on fast learning and understanding.
- The proposal is based on previous important decisions called referendums.
- These referendums show that marketing needs special permission to include schools. 
- You can find more about Dot Code School on their website.

WHO: Dot Code School
WHAT: Inclusion of Dot Code School in marketing narratives funded by Polkadot Bounty #33 - Marketing Bounty, specifically, use of the following taglines.

Inclusion of Dot Code School in Marketing Narratives

- This proposal asks if we should add smart contracts to Polkadot's Asset Hub system by the end of 2024.
- It would use new technology called PolkaVM and a tool to make Ethereum contracts work on Polkadot.
- Adding smart contracts would make it easier and faster to work with assets on Polkadot.
- It would also let developers use Solidity, a popular programming language for smart contracts.
- This could make Polkadot more attractive to developers and businesses.
- However, it might make Asset Hub more complex and could compete with other Polkadot parachains.
- The community will need to help with tools, marketing, and education to make this successful.

Parity proposes adding a smart contract execution environment to Polkadot's Asset Hub parachain, allowing synchronous and permissionless interactions with assets. The proposed solution will be based on pallet-contracts, PolkaVM, and an EVM to PolkaVM recompiler for Solidity/EVM compatibility. The deployment is targeted by the end of 2024. Parity will provide the core technology, but the community is needed for tooling and integration, marketing, communication, education, and liquidity from Ethereum. The first milestone is planned to be rolled out at the end of this year.

Should we allow EVM compatible contracts on Asset Hub?

### Summary of Gavin's Proposal

1. **Maximum Supply**: Proposes a maximum DOT supply of 2.91 billion (double the current total supply).
2. **Yearly Issuance**: 10% yearly issuance of the remaining supply.
3. **No Immediate Changes**: No reduction of rewards in the first year, avoiding selling pressure.
4. **Fiscal Certainty**: Provides fiscal certainty and predictability regarding DOT supply.
5. **Safety Mechanism**: Includes a safety mechanism to increase supply if needed via a hard fork.
6. **Community Support**: A way for the community to show support for Gavin's idea.
7. **Timing**: Suggests implementing the change this year for immediate fiscal certainty and addressing fears of overdilution.
8. **Value Adjustment**: Slightly reduced max supply (2.91 billion instead of 3.14 billion) to maintain no reduction in rewards the first year.

The proposal suggests fixing the maximum supply of DOT at 2.91 billion with a yearly 10% issuance of the remaining supply. This will provide fiscal certainty and predictability, with no reduction of rewards in the first year, and address fears of overdilution. The proposal is a way for the community to show support for Gavin's idea, with a slightly reduced max supply to avoid a reduction of rewards in the first year.

- In summer 2023, Mr. Laurent Koehler from the Founder Institute in Hong Kong decided to start a program focused on Web3 in 2024.
- The goal is to help new startup founders learn about Polkadot's technology and support their projects.
- The Founder Institute is a large program that helps new businesses grow with support and resources.
- The first Web3 group will run from May 28 to September 3, 2024, and will include mentors from Polkadot.
- Polkadot and the Founder Institute will work together to support founders and help them develop ideas.
- An agreement called a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was created to outline the partnership.
- The MOU ensures that the collaboration is clear and follows the community's wishes. 
- The program aims to benefit both Polkadot and new startups in the ecosystem.

WHO: Polkadot and the Founder Institute

WHAT: Polkadot will onboard mentors and develop joint co-marketing initiatives with the Founder Institute to enhance business offerings for investors and applicants. Polkadot will recommend a mentor(s) from the ecosystem, present at the required program session(s), and provide any marketing collateral necessary. The Founder Institute will provide online and onsite branding for Polkadot, introduce all enrolled founders to Polkadot, and allow Polkadot to present at any desired session.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: The collaboration will take place from May 28, 2024, to September 3, 2024, during the Founder Institute's first Web3 cohort. The collaboration is strategic and will enable the Polkadot ecosystem to gain essential exposure to new companies and projects, investors' networks, and to establish a presence and raise awareness within the Founder Institute network. The MOU will be considered a liabilities exempt Pilot Project between the parties.

Pilot MOU Proposal for a Collaboration between the Polkadot Ecosystem and the Founder Institute:

- The idea is to think about whether we should get rid of something called DV.
- Even if it’s hard to do, it can show what real DOT holders think about it.
- The goal of on-chain governance is to reduce selling pressure, not just to be fair.
- It’s better for most DOT holders to have their way than a few, to help the ecosystem.
- Some people believe this referendum will reveal what true DOT owners want.
- It’s not about different types of holders, but about those who actually own DOT.
- The discussion involves thinking about capitalism and socialism in this context.

The proposal suggests conducting a survey to gauge the opinion of real DOT holders on the possibility of abolishing DOT voting rights (DV) to minimize selling pressure. The aim is to understand the real desire of DOT holders, excluding DV, and communicate it to W3F. The proposal does not mention any specific price, timeframe, or resources.

Should we abolish DV?
