The Gray Paper Reader is a tool that helps people work with the Gray Paper for JAM, the next generation of Polkadot Cloud. It makes sharing, annotating, and tracking changes in the document easier. The tool is open-source and already used by the community. FluffyLabs.dev, the creator of the tool, is asking for support to keep improving it.

The Gray Paper is important because it explains JAM in detail, but it's not easy to read and understand. There are over 20 teams working on JAM, and they all need to read the Gray Paper. The Gray Paper changes over time, and it's hard to keep track of these changes.

The Gray Paper Reader solves some problems with the PDF version of the Gray Paper. It's hard to share a part of the document, and notes can get lost when the document is updated. The Gray Paper Reader has features like an archive of different versions, easy switching between versions, and sharing short links to specific parts of the document.

The Gray Paper Reader is already being used a lot in the official chat room for the Gray Paper. The team behind it, FluffyLabs.dev, is asking for $21,000 to keep improving the tool. They have a plan for what they want to do in the future, and you can read more about it in their full proposal.

The Treasury Proposal is about integrating QMDB Core into Substrate Storage. QMDB is a storage system that will help make Substrate faster and better. The project will happen in four steps:

1. Make QMDB work with Substrate (3 weeks, 2,000 DOT)
2. Create a way to organize the stored information (2 weeks, 1,500 DOT)
3. Test everything to make sure it works (1 week, 750 DOT)
4. Put it on a test network and make it better (1 week, 750 DOT)

The team working on this has experience with Polkadot and has worked on similar projects before. They will use the Rust language and some tools to help them deploy and watch the project.

This project will make Substrate better by making it faster and more efficient. But it won't have some advanced features like full prefix search functionality. The team will test the project a lot to make sure it works well before using it on the main network.

Polkadot is a good place for this project because it wants to make fast and scalable blockchain systems. This project will help make Polkadot's storage better and faster.

QMDB Core Integration for Substrate Storage Enhancement
