Support for Investigative Work and Communication Initiatives in Polkadot - Revisited

The Polkadot OpenGov Observer initiative is seeking a second round of funding to continue enhancing community engagement with Polkadot governance. They have made progress in providing real-time updates and monthly overviews of OpenGov activities, treasury allocations, and voter behavior. With the requested funding of 1000 DOT ($4,300 USD), they plan to introduce new features such as delegate voting updates, pinned posts for monthly treasury and governance stats, on-chain identity migration updates, and graphical representation of treasury balance. Their mission is to increase Polkadot OpenGov adoption and achieve a 40% participation rate of DOT holders in governance activities, leading to more informed and fair decision-making within the ecosystem.

**Dear Polkadot Community,**

After the successful completion of our initial project phase funded by Referendum 352 on [Kusama](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/352), I am excited to present the next step for the **Polkadot OpenGov Observer** initiative. Over the past six months, we have made significant progress in enhancing community engagement with Polkadot governance, and now I am seeking a second round of funding totaling **1000 DOT ($4,300 USD)** to further our impact and expand our offerings.

### **Project Overview and Achievements:**

The **Polkadot OpenGov Observer** was created to foster community engagement by providing real-time updates and comprehensive monthly overviews of OpenGov activities, treasury allocations, and voter behavior on social platforms such as Twitter.

**New Features:**

With the requested funding, we aim to continue developing the project and introduce several new features that will enhance its utility:

1.  **Delegate Voting Updates**: The new version of the Twitter bots will showcase delegate votes. This feature will provide valuable insights into how influential delegates are voting on key proposals.
    
2.  **Pinned Posts for Monthly Treasury and Governance Stats**: We will introduce pinned posts that offer a clear and concise overview of treasury holdings in DOT, USDT, USDC, and other tokens, as well as governance statistics. This will help community members easily track and understand the financial health and governance activities within the ecosystem.
    
3.  **On-Chain Identity Migration Updates**: Due to the recent migration of on-chain identities to People’s Chain, many identities are not currently displayed. We will modify our code to accurately reflect on-chain identities of voters, ensuring transparency and accountability.
    
4.  **Graphs**: Graphical representation of Treasury Balance
5.  **Delegate voters monthly voting activity tracking**: There are many delegate voters in polkadot opengov but we'll cover few of them to maintain bot reputation on x and and prevent spamming and those accounts should have total voting power greater than 1 million DOT

### **Requested Funding:**

-   **1000 DOT ($4,300 USD)**

**Funding Breakdown:**

-   **Total work hours: 200**
-   **Hourly rate: $20**
-   **server cost $300**
-   **Total amount: $4,300**

### **Mission and Future Impact:**

Our mission remains to drive greater adoption of Polkadot OpenGov by making it more accessible and engaging for all community members. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a participation rate of **40% of DOT holders** in governance activities, which will help ensure more informed and fair decision-making within the ecosystem.

By developing new features and refining our existing tools, we aim to establish the **OpenGov Observer Bots** as the central hub for all governance-related activities on Twitter. This will support existing community members and attract new participants, contributing to a more decentralized and transparent decision-making process.

**Best regards,**

- They are asking for $250 for each episode to cover their work, like researching, hosting, editing, and sharing on social media.

If you want to know more, you can read their proposal. Thanks for listening!

TimedOut

Hello Everyone,  
  
I previously applied for a tip on the Polkadot treasury for 6 retroactive episodes at $333 per video (Referendum #1128) for AwesomeDot team. After discussions with the community and DV delegates, we recognized the need to adjust our cost structure and overall approach to be more efficient. This proposal reflects those adjustments.  
  
![](https://i.ibb.co/ZB5NCCC/mceclip0.png)  
  
Problem Statement and Solution  
  
In Polkadot ecosystem there are 100s of tools and libraries that are fragmented through our ecosystem, through our AwesomeDot repo we have created a repo and added every project of our ecosystem. Going through all of these we find out that we still lack development tutorials so the team of Awesomedot started the podcast series.

  
These podcasts are dedicated to exploring the technical aspects of the Polkadot ecosystem, providing visibility to lesser-known projects, and offering the community a platform to understand complex concepts directly from the creators and developers in the ecosystem.

In addition to discussing widely recognized topics, our project is dedicated to giving visibility to lesser-known yet promising projects within the Polkadot ecosystem, such as Paraspell, RegionX and DeDot.

UNNOTE THE PREIMAGE- PLEASE DON'T VOTE

This event is a series of workshops and a hackathon aimed at building a developer community in India for the Polkadot ecosystem. It will be held at IIT Roorkee, one of India's top engineering institutions. The event is organized by Blocksebock in collaboration with Edgetributors SubDAO. The goal is to attract talented developers, students, and blockchain enthusiasts to foster innovation, development, and community engagement within the Polkadot ecosystem.

The event has a hybrid structure, with the workshop and hackathon held two weeks apart, giving students time to review materials and learn. Throughout this period, a students' collective will be formed to guide and assist them virtually. The event aims to address the lack of awareness about PolkadotSDK and Substrate within the Indian developer community, ineffective meetups, tech exposure gaps, and the campus placement culture that limits students' opportunities.

The event will feature pre-hackathon workshops, activities for the students' collective, a physical hackathon kick-off, judging and awards, and post-hackathon activities. The team behind the event includes Blocksebock, a global hackathon hosting platform, and Edgetributors SubDAO, a collective of active solo contributors from the Edgeware DAO with expertise in substrate/PolkadotSDK and ink! development.

The event is expected to have 100-150 participants, with at least 20-30 quality project submissions. It aims to enhance the visibility of the Polkadot ecosystem and contribute to its natural growth and demand. The required amount for the event is 29978.18 USD, with a 10% refundable liquidation buffer, totaling 7383.78 DOT.

# **TL;DR**

This is the first edition of a series aiming to build a developer community in India for the Polkadot ecosystem from the ground up by hosting in-campus workshops and hackathons in the leading [IIT universities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institutes_of_Technology), which are known worldwide for producing the largest number of leading developers. IITs have a vast untapped talent pool that needs to be curated through a well-defined path of learning, knowledge exchange, and a competition. We are looking to establish the path through this 3-in-1 event, which features workshops for accelerated learning, the foundation of students' collective for a series of tech & non-tech activities, and the final hackathon.

# **Why not events bounty?**

We did apply for the events bounty twice, but the curators denied our initial and refined proposals because of reasons mentioned, like a limit on the number of organizing members involved, their misunderstanding of the review rating with a star rating for one of the cheapest accommodations, etc. We will post a detailed thread on our experience with the events bounty, especially the curators’ lack of thorough research later as our priority is the successful hosting of this 3-in-1 event in one of the best universities for which getting another approval (letter of intent) won’t be easy.

Due to the two-week delay caused by the events bounty, we are forced to post multiple big tippers, as a small spender could take significant time. We need about 15k USD out of our total requested amount to make the necessary reservations/bookings (partial token amount wherever possible). So we are looking to post four big tippers and one small spender for the same. Upon approval of the first big tipper, we will encode the rest of the proposals and proceed with the bookings.

# **Overview**

We are excited to propose a first-of-its-kind hackathon and workshop for the Polkadot ecosystem in India, organized by [**Blockseblock**](https://blockseblock.com/) in collaboration with Edgetributors SubDAO. This event aims to foster innovation, development, and community engagement within the Polkadot ecosystem by bringing together talented developers, students, and blockchain enthusiasts. The fundamental propositions of this event are as follows:

-   Hybrid structure: We will host the workshop and the hackathon two weeks apart, giving students time to review all the materials and the learning curve. Throughout this two-week period, we will guide/assist them virtually by forming a students’ collective.
-   Importance of IITs: IITs are often referred to as talent hubs in India due to their challenging entrance barrier for students and for well-known student activities like fests, workshops, hackathons, etc. Hosting this hybrid event in an IIT will attract enthusiastic students from the nearby universities as well.
-   Blockseblock's prior hackathon hosting experience, along with the technical curation/expertise of Edgetributors SubDAO contributors, will ensure that the event is not only successful but also impactful.
-   Being the first of this kind of collaboration, we focus on keeping this event budget-friendly yet accessible for everyone. We will implement our learnings in future hackathons across different IITs.

# **Problem:**

**Limited Developer Awareness:** There's a significant lack of awareness about PolkadotSDK and Substrate within the Indian developer community.

**Ineffective Meetups:** Standard meetups often fail to capture the attention of developers from India's crowded IT sector.

**Tech Exposure Gaps:** For Indian engineering students, significant-tech exposure typically occurs only within their universities or nearby IITs.

**Campus Placement Culture:** The prevalent campus placement culture in India means students often only explore opportunities with companies that visit their campuses, missing out on the vast opportunities offered by Web3.

**Lagging Behind Competitors:** The Polkadot ecosystem lags behind competitors in hosting student-specific learning events like workshops in the Indian demographic.

# **Solutions:**

**Hackathon at a Leading IIT:** Organize a high-impact hackathon at a top IIT to attract and engage talented developers.

**Pre-Hackathon Workshops:** Conduct workshops before the hackathon to build foundational knowledge and excitement around PolkadotSDK/Substrate.

**Formation of a Students' Collective:** Establish a students' collective to foster continuous engagement, collaboration, and learning within the Polkadot ecosystem. This will be crucial to the team formation and other activities after hosting the workshops, before the start of the hackathon.

## **What's success?**

-   We expect 100-150 participants for the Workshops and Hackathon with at least 20-30 quality project submissions.
-   Formation of the collective that can feature the Polkadot Ecosystem in the IIT Roorkee, acting as a self-sustainable incubator/space for the new age developers.
-   This hybrid event aims at enhancing the visibility of the Polkadot ecosystem from the foundational level by cultivating more developers which will contribute to the natural growth and demand.

Retroactive Tip to AwesomeDot Team for high quality technical podcasts

Hello little friend! This message is from someone who is part of the Polkadot community. They have been working hard to share news, create fun pictures called "memes," and talk to people about Polkadot. They want to make sure more people know about Polkadot and how it works.

This person has done a lot of things to help the community, like getting many people to see their posts and getting new people to follow them. They think it's important for lots of people to vote on important decisions for Polkadot, so everyone's voice is heard.

They are asking for some help, called a "tip," to keep doing their work. They want to make sure the community stays strong and focused on what's best for Polkadot.

They also want to remind everyone that it's important to be careful with the ideas and proposals that people share. They want to make sure that everyone is working together to make Polkadot better and not just thinking about themselves.

Dear Polkadot Community,

I am seeking your support for my ongoing work in investigation, news dissemination, meme creation, community communications, and active participation in discussions across various groups. Over the past eight months, from January to August 2024, I have dedicated myself to enhancing engagement within our community and promoting awareness only about Polkadot and its governance system.

Achievements and Impact:

During this period, I have successfully contributed to the following metrics on my account on X:

Total Visualizations: 1,920,971

Total Interactions: 100,125

Bookmarks: 751

New Followers: 1,779

Responses: 3,633

Reposts: 4,010

Video Visualizations: 148,369

These statistics highlight my commitment to not only informing the community about the latest news and developments within Polkadot but also engaging and encouraging more individuals to participate actively in OpenGov voting. By addressing critical issues, proposing constructive ideas, and sharing intriguing insights about our voting system, I strive to attract a diverse audience and increase participation in our governance processes.

The Importance of Decentralized Voting:

It is essential to recognize that the true essence of decentralized voting can only be realized when we achieve a significant turnout of both participants and tokens. If participation remains limited to a small circle of individuals, the decisions made may reflect the interests of a select few rather than the collective will of the entire community. To ensure that our governance is genuinely representative, we must strive for higher engagement and mobilize our community to take part in shaping the future of Polkadot.

Tip Request:

To support these initiatives, I am requesting a tip of 888 DOT. This amount represents only a small fraction of the total DOT discussed in our community, much of which has often been allocated without receiving adequate feedback on past proposals.

Call to Action:

With your support, I can continue to enhance my efforts in fostering a vibrant and informed Polkadot community. Together, we can empower more citizens to engage in meaningful discussions and take part in shaping the future of Polkadot through active voting in OpenGov.  
  
  

Dear estemeed HAs, DVs and Whales:

I understand that some of you may be inclined to vote NAY on my proposal, and I respect your perspective. It is crucial to acknowledge the necessity of protecting our ecosystem from proposals that could be detrimental to the wallets of our investors, the reputation of Polkadot, and the passion of our community members.

However, we are witnessing an increasing number of proposals that seem more focused on marketing rather than on meaningful development for our ecosystem. This trend is concerning and must be addressed. One effective way to discourage such requests is to bring to light the names and often absurd demands made by these individuals, sharing them with the broader audience on platforms like X. By doing so, we can deter such behavior and encourage a more constructive approach to proposals that genuinely benefit Polkadot and its community.

I hold deep admiration for the work and time you dedicate to addressing the daily matters of Polkadot. Yet, it is essential that we confront the reality of our situation. The issue at hand is not solely about individuals like myself or others who strive to shed light on the facts that can hinder investor confidence in our remarkable technology. It is about fostering a community that prioritizes integrity and genuine development.

Thank you for considering this perspective as we navigate these challenges together.
