PYOR is a company that wants to make a tool called PolkaPulse. PolkaPulse is a dashboard that will help people see and understand what is happening in the world of DeFi (decentralized finance) on a network called Polkadot. They want to get money to build this dashboard.

PolkaPulse will show two types of information:
1. General information that helps people compare different parts of the network quickly.
2. Detailed information that helps people understand what is happening in each part of the network.

The dashboard will help people who already use DeFi and those who are new to it. It will make it easier for everyone to see what is happening and make decisions based on that information.

PYOR wants to build this dashboard in 5 months and they need $78,000 to do it. They have talked to many people in the community to make sure this is something that people want and need.

The dashboard will show information about different parts of the network, like how much money is being traded, how many people are using it, and how much it is growing. It will also show information about different DeFi projects and how they are doing.

PYOR wants to make sure that the dashboard is easy to use and that it shows the information in a way that is easy to understand. They are asking for feedback from the community to make sure they are building something that people will find useful.

Hey everyone,

**PYOR** is an on-chain data analytics company specializing in crypto research and analytics. We are seeking treasury funding to develop **PolkaPulse, a comprehensive DeFi dashboard that will track and visualize parachain activities across the Polkadot ecosystem.**

This proposal has been shaped through extensive community engagement, including discussions with @Tommi from OpenGov, @Pavla from Parity Data, and @Eric from Distractive.

Our proposed dashboard will provide **clear, data- visualisations to help users discover Defi opportunities.** Detailed information about our proposal can be found in the following resources:

Looking forward to your feedback and support! 🚀

**Project Summary**

PYOR is building PolkaPulse, a unified parachain-level data platform for 10 key parachains. It will feature two types of metrics:

-   **General Metrics to compare parachains at a glance.**
-   **Key Metrics for deeper insights into individual parachains.**

PolkaPulse aims to help existing users track DeFi growth and opportunities while also making it easier for new users to onboard into the Polkadot ecosystem. By providing clear, actionable data visualisation, we believe this dashboard will make the ecosystem more accessible, transparent, and engaging for everyone.

**Timeline: 5 Months** **Requested Funding: USDC 78,000**

![](https://i.ibb.co/PBgZhX3/Polkapulse-Dashboard-1.png) _Fig: Wireframe of PolkaPulse Dashboard (Data shown is for visualization purposes only)_

**Motivation**

Despite Polkadot's growing ecosystem, users lack a unified analytics platform that captures both ecosystem-wide metrics and parachain-specific KPIs. Current tools provide fragmented insights, failing to capture the unique value propositions of individual parachains—whether in DeFi, DePIN, RWA, or BTCfi. Each parachain's success metrics are distinct: Acala thrives on trading volumes and staking, Interlay on active loans, and Peaq Network on user adoption. To address this fragmentation, PYOR proposes PolkaPulse—an all-in-one analytics platform combining ecosystem-wide indicators with parachain-specific metrics.

**Details of Proposed Dashboard**

Our proposed Dashboard majorly will consist of 2 products hosted live on a single user-facing interface. These 2 products / Dashboard are

**1\. Parachain activity dashboard**

  Key Metrics by Parachain:

-   Acala: Swap volume, DOT staking, aSEED token circulation, active addresses, fees, transactions, XCM messages.
-   Astar: Transaction count, unique addresses, dApp staking TVL, ASTAR staking ratio, fees.
-   Bifrost: Active addresses, liquid staking TVL, stable swap TVL & volume, fees.
-   Centrifuge: Tokenized assets, outstanding loans.
-   Hydration Chain (DEX): Liquidity pool TVL, swap volume, trading volume, active LPs, fees, unique users.
-   Interlay: Active addresses, vault collateral, outstanding loans.
-   Moonbeam: Active addresses, locked assets, transaction count, fees, collateral.
-   Pendulum: Transfers, active addresses, total holders, fees.
-   Peaq Network: Machine count, user count, transactions.
-   Asset HUB: Active accounts, events, transfers, signed extrinsics, XCM messages.

  General Metrics for all parachain:

-   Active accounts (Daily, Monthly, Cumulative)
-   Events (Daily, Monthly, Cumulative)
-   Transfers (Daily, Monthly, Cumulative)
-   Signed Extrinsincs (Daily, Monthly, Cumulative)
-   Downwards & Upwards xcmmsg

**2\. Parachain Defi Yield opportunity dashboard**

Initially, we will be covering five key networks: Polkadot, Moonbeam, Astar, Bifrost, and Acala. The dashboard will track opportunities across Lending, DEX Liquidity Pools, and Liquid Staking.

Our proposed protocol list is here:

-   Moonwell
-   Stellswap
-   Starley finance
-   Bifrost liquid staking
-   Beefy Finance
-   Acala swap
-   Frax Finance
-   Prime protocol

During the first 2 weeks sprint we will work with para chain teams to find and list out more opportunities and will adjust the list according to that.

**Conclusion**

Our proposal addresses a key gap in the Polkadot ecosystem through two core dashboards: Parachain Activity and DeFi Yield Opportunities. These will provide real-time, parachain-specific data and DeFi analytics in a unified platform. During the initial two-week sprint, we'll collaborate with parachain teams to optimize metrics, aiming to facilitate informed decision-making and drive ecosystem growth.

**Feedback**

Through our community discussions, we received strong alignment and addressed key considerations:

-   Regarding Moonbeam Smart Contract Metrics - While our current focus is DeFi analytics, we're open to incorporating smart contract activity metrics pending direct endpoint access from the Moonbeam team.
    
-   For Data Visualization - We'll implement intuitive charts for most data points to ensure accessibility for all user levels.
    
    We remain receptive to ongoing community feedback on visualization preferences. If you have any suggestions, questions, or thoughts, feel free to share them.

PolkaPulse: DeFi Dashboard for Polkadot Parachains

This page is about a proposal to expand the Polkadot developer community. The group has already self-funded some training programs, including:

1. Polkadot 2.0 Developer Training: A hands-on session with over 100 participants.
2. Workshop on Ink! Smart Contracts: A practical session on setting up, testing, and deploying smart contracts.
3. Polkadot Smart Contract Campaign: Focused on blockchain development using the Polkadot SDK.
4. Smart Contract Development Campaign: Encouraging developers to build with the Polkadot SDK.

The proposal's goals are to:

1. Show that Polkadot can do more than just parachains.
2. Help developers build important decentralized apps (dApps) on Polkadot.
3. Make Polkadot a big part of the global blockchain and tech world.

You can read the full proposal by clicking [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uwlush1o6EWFirz3gxS3Z1rx81kB3iqjaC7qglZDtGQ/edit?usp=sharing).

Following the feedback from our October 2024 application, [which recommended adjusting our budget to $30K–$40K](../referenda/1261#673b62ce245ac9841fd2633d) for support, we have streamlined our initial initiative to **$16K**. We were also advised to apply for the Event Bounty, but after previously reaching out, we were informed that funding for Nigeria was limited, and our request was denied.

Despite these challenges, we remain committed to expanding the Polkadot developer community and showcasing how Polkadot extends beyond core blockchain development, not just for building parachains and custom blockchains but also for scalable decentralized applications, similar to other leading blockchain networks.

**Demonstrating Our Commitment  
**We have self-funded multiple Polkadot developer training programs, including:

-   Polkadot 2.0 Developer Training: Hosted a hands-on developer session with 100+ participants, simplifying the complexities of Polkadot 2.0. ([Check it out!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1LzG9xp7mk))
-   [Workshop on Ink! Smart Contracts:](https://youtu.be/Fj_LI4zgWqg?si=wC0Qm0UdpfrhBNBu) A practical session on setting up, testing, and deploying Ink! smart contracts.
-   [Polkadot Smart Contract Campaign:](https://youtu.be/4iSMMXCWLTA?si=fP9sVK9nrLX2DOxy) Focused on blockchain development using the Polkadot SDK, driving awareness and adoption.
-   [Smart Contract Development Campaign](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hnqYFPmoP_MS08QYPPJTdJXemP_QUSUc/view): Launched an initiative to encourage developers to build with the Polkadot SDK, fostering innovation within our network.  
      
    **Proposal Goals  
    **This proposal seeks to expand on these efforts by onboarding new developers and enhancing the understanding of Polkadot’s SDK for dApp development globally. Through comprehensive training, curriculum development, and hackathons, our mission is to:
-   Showcase Polkadot’s versatility beyond parachains.
-   Empower developers to build impactful dApps on Polkadot’s robust ecosystem.
-   Establish Polkadot as a key player in the global blockchain and tech landscape.

ParaXerve NFT Marketplace Development

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.

Executed

Dear Polkadot Community,

we are excited to share our proposal for retroactive funding of the [**Gray Paper Reader**](https://graypaper.fluffylabs.dev/), a tool that makes it easier to work with the Gray Paper for JAM. The Reader helps with sharing, annotating, and tracking changes in the document, solving challenges many teams face. It’s open-source, already in use by the community, and hosted at graypaper.fluffylabs.dev. We hope for your support to continue improving this tool for everyone in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Full proposal text: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i\_tg\_scBP5GrY\_IM7eH4lpPZDrGbk5rGAi-Lf1s28cU](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i_tg_scBP5GrY_IM7eH4lpPZDrGbk5rGAi-Lf1s28cU)

**General project information**

**Project Category / Type:** Software development  
**Proponent:** FluffyLabs.dev  
**USDC address:** 15fGrDWmFoaApnZXEw1Zg45zuCqpkbMS9YPzczeU9dHseUUu  
**Requested allocation:** 21.000 USDC  
Income taxable: 19% tax on “virtual currencies” tax in Poland: [https://www.podatki.gov.pl/en/your-e-pit/pit-38-for-2022/](https://www.podatki.gov.pl/en/your-e-pit/pit-38-for-2022/)  
**Discussion date:** Jan 19th 2025  
**Onchain publish date:** planned for Feb 1st 2025  
**Previous treasury proposals:** none for the GrayPaper (The team received [retroactive funding for the PVM Debugger](../referenda/1340))

**Context**

The Gray Paper is the formal specification of JAM, the next generation of Polkadot Cloud. It’s detailed but not easy to read, understand, and keep up with it, as it changes over time.

There are over 20 teams that publicly stated (including us), they are participating in the JAM Prize Contest and all their members surely do read the Gray Paper. Discussions in Element channels highlight the need to clarify some parts or fix errors, so the document changes over time. There are also at least 4 major revisions planned adding extra features.

We built the Gray Paper Reader to alleviate major pain points we identified.

**Problem**

While working with the Gray Paper PDF versions internally, we identified the following issues and addressed them in the Gray Paper Reader. It’s difficult to quickly share a fragment or formula from the PDF.

Screenshots are somewhat of an option, but they lack the bigger context and require indication from which version of the GP they are taken. Referencing GP from the code comments may quickly get outdated.

Both quoting a fragment or referencing a formula id may not be valid in the newer revision of GP.

Notes on both printed or digital versions are hard to transfer to a newer revision.

**Proposal**

We propose retroactive funding for the development of the Gray Paper Reader hosted at [https://graypaper.fluffylabs.dev](https://graypaper.fluffylabs.dev) with open source code using permissive license available on github ([https://github.com/fluffylabs/graypaper-reader).](https://github.com/fluffylabs/graypaper-reader\).) Unlike the JAM prize, which focuses on client implementations, no existing funding covers the creation of ecosystem tools like the Gray Paper Reader.

**Available solutions**

There are tools like Adobe Acrobat, Mendeley, and Notion for working with PDFs. These tools include features like annotations, version history, and sharing, but they don’t fully alleviate identified problems:

-   Adobe Acrobat: Great for comments and highlights, but doesn’t help with tracking notes across versions or supporting Gray Paper discussions by sharing short links.
-   Mendeley: Good for research papers but not built for changing, evolving documents like the Gray Paper.
-   Notion: Useful for shared notes and organization but doesn’t directly support detailed version tracking or work well with PDFs.

**Features**

The Gray Paper Reader features:

-   Archive of published Gray Paper versions
-   Easily switching between multiple revisions of the Gray Paper.
-   Quickly switching the color scheme of the Gray Paper (Light, Dark and Gray modes).
-   Short Links to specific fragments of a specific revision for easy sharing on open discussion channels
-   Attaching notes with rich formatting to specific fragments and automatically migrating them between revisions.
-   A command line tool to scan codebase for links to the reader and automatically migrating them to newer revisions.
-   Backlinks to all messages sent on JAM Element Chat that included the link to the reader.
-   Automatic upgrade of the tool in case a new version of Gray Paper is released. Below is an outline of the deliverables and key functionalities.

The deliverable is open-source under the MIT license.

**Deliverables**

-   Web application: [https://graypaper.fluffylabs.dev](https://graypaper.fluffylabs.dev)
-   Open Source Code: [https://github.com/FluffyLabs/graypaper-reader](https://github.com/FluffyLabs/graypaper-reader) (MPL-2.0)
-   Links check tool: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fluffylabs/links-check](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fluffylabs/links-check)
-   Matrix Bot: [https://github.com/FluffyLabs/graypaper-reader/tree/main/tools/matrix-bot](https://github.com/FluffyLabs/graypaper-reader/tree/main/tools/matrix-bot)

**Adoption**

![](https://fluffylabs.dev/assets/images/reader_screenshot_2.png)

![](https://fluffylabs.dev/assets/images/reade_screenshot_3.png)

Links to Gray Paper Reader are already used extensively in the official Element Gray Paper room ([https://app.element.io/#/room/#graypaper:polkadot.io)](https://app.element.io/#/room/#graypaper:polkadot.io\)) as a common way to reference sections of the document. Over the period of 2.5 months (Mid-Oct to End-Dec) 21 unique users sent 136 messages that included a link to Gray Paper Reader. These conversations can be viewed as in-document annotations in the beta version of the tool available here ([link](https://graypaper-reader.netlify.app/)).

**Timeline**

This proposal seeks retroactive funding for the development of the Graypaper Reader, which began in early August 2024 and finished End of December with Release 1.0.

2Days Devs Meetups with Polkadot (East Africa Community)

Brad, a popular video-game streamer, is requesting $25,000 for promoting Polkadot on various platforms like TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and Discord. From July 10, 2024, to January 27, 2025, he displayed a large neon Polkadot logo and discussed Polkadot during live-streams, resulting in about 20 million total video and stream views. His audience is mostly young people under 35 years old. Brad plans to use some of the funds to expand his reach and collaborate with other content creators to grow his audience.

Live-Streamer Retroactive Proposal

Information:  
Proposer: Brad  
Wallet address: 12uYULCstsq2Nd5hmjPidnSQGDcy4WJhLFw9qJJFEz6tEbiQ  
Requested allocation: 25,000 USD

Campaign Start Date: July 10, 2024  
Campaign End Date: January 27, 2025

Email: [brzdsontv@gmail.com](mailto:brzdsontv@gmail.com)

**NOTE: Future requests will be done through the Phragmen Funding, as they currently (to my knowledge) do not support retroactive requests. In addition, I attempted to do this through the marketing bounty with Crane’s help and I was redirected to someone who advised me to do future requests through the Phragmen Funding.**

**Summary of the proposal:** This proposal seeks payment ($25,000) for a popular video-game streamer promoting Polkadot by displaying a large neon logo and discussing Polkadot during live-streams with a vast younger audience. This has resulted in ~20,000,000 total video and stream views from July 10, 2024, to January 27, 2025, respectively.  
  
**Context of the proposal:** This proposal requests compensation for a campaign of ~7 months by an accomplished video-game streamer who has endorsed Polkadot daily for nearly a year across various platforms including TikTok, Twitch, Youtube, Instagram, and Discord. The campaign contains constant visible branding, direct engagement, and integrating Polkadot directly into the content, largely boosting Polkadot's visibility among a younger demographic.

**The compensation amount:** In my first proposal with Mister Cole's help, I decided to request a lower amount because it was my first interaction with the broader Polkadot community. After this passed, I started earning roughly $2,000 per million views between April and July 2024 from a treasury-funded social media company (since then, they have seemingly dissolved, with my previous manager quitting, and the new manager giving vague responses for several months). Following this, I have received ~19.7 million views through the duration of this 7-month campaign. Seemingly being the only major content creator largely on TikTok promoting Polkadot, further incorporating Polkadot into my content than before, and this being my second interaction with OpenGov, I believe it is fair to request roughly the same rate I did during my very first proposal.

**Audience:**  
**Platform + User Reach:**  
TikTok Followers: 188,500 ([TikTok Account (link)](https://www.tiktok.com/@bradbeloved "TikTok Account (link)"))  
Discord Members: 15,200 ([Discord Server (link)](https://discord.gg/talking "Discord Server (link)"))

Youtube Subscribers: 5,000 ([Youtube Account (link)](https://www.youtube.com/@bradbeloved/featured "Youtube Account (link)"))  
  
— Demographics: 87% of viewers are under 35 years old, with 66% under 25 years old.  
— TikTok “Gaming Live Pro” badge, exclusive to only 75 out of over 2 billion active users, recognizing the streamer’s prolonged success and dedication on the platform.  
  
**Streaming Metrics: (July 10, 2024 - January 27, 2025)**  
— Total Hours Streamed: 607 hours (TikTok + Twitch)  
— Total Views: 19,700,000  
        Video Views: 11,800,000  
        Stream Views: 7,400,000  
        Other Views: ~500,000 (Twitch + Youtube + Instagram)  
— Average Viewership: Approximately 1,000 concurrent average viewers per stream

**Description:**

The full-time streamer is actively conducting a targeted promotion towards mainly millennial and Gen Z viewers about the Polkadot network during his daily streaming sessions. Multiple avenues of promotion are being taken: Speaking about what Polkadot is in a learner-friendly manner, occasionally streaming games powered by Polkadot such as “NFL Rivals”, including the proper links to Polkadot on all platforms, and showcasing a large neon sign of the logo in the background. This sign is strategically positioned to catch the viewer’s attention, encouraging them to engage with the streamer about Polkadot.

**Details:**

The streamer had a proposal in April with Mister Cole’s help which passed at 99% Aye: [Previous Proposal (link)](../referenda/721 "Previous Proposal (link)"). The streamer was also paid by a treasury-funded media company for roughly 3 months following the aforementioned proposal. I am actively introducing new people into the Polkadot ecosystem through my work and have been engaged with prominent members of the community for over a year.

**Additional Information:**

— Part of the funds, if passed, will go directly towards expanding my reach to more people and get further eyes on Polkadot. I plan to get a house with some other prominent content creators like myself to collaborate with and exponentially grow my audience.

 Live-Streamer Retroactive 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.

**Treasury Proposal:** QMDB Core Integration for Substrate Storage

**Enhancement Proponent:** 12K97oseeBxoWnyYRU3DJkxKTiDGFBh1pK4jLyuUJzYHkqdD

**Problem Statement**  
Current Substrate storage implementation faces several fundamental challenges that this initial integration phase aims to address: Current crate ‘sp-trie’ implementation requires optimisation Inefficient key-based operations affecting basic transaction processing Suboptimal transaction verification process

**Key Limitations of QMDB**

-   Does not support iterators and prefix searches
-   Non-limitation, mostly its design of QMDN, requires additional memory (RAM, Disk) for indexing (indexer)

**Proposal Objectives & Solutions Objectives**

-   Integrate QMDB as the proof storage engine within Substrate
-   Enable Merkle Proof-based transaction verification
-   Benchmark QMDB inside our DevNet ([https://dev.qfnetwork.xyz)](https://dev.qfnetwork.xyz\).)

**Milestones, Timelines, and Budgets Milestone**  
  
1\. Implement QMDB storage traits Working prototype integrated with Substrate  
3 weeks  
2 000 DOT  
  
2\. Develop a storage indexing mechanism In-memory B-Tree or sorted sparse list  
2 weeks  
1 500 DOT  
  
3\. Conduct full system testing All Substrate tests pass  
1 week  
750 DOT  
  
4\. Deploy, benchmark and optimise Live on DevNet with monitoring  
1 week  
750 DOT

**Risks and Mitigation Risk Mitigation Strategy**

-   QMDB may not be production-ready
-   Extensive DevNet testing before MainNet deployment
-   Substrate’s evolving architecture may cause compatibility issues
-   Freeze the Substrate version until integration is stable
-   Increased resource consumption due to indexers
-   Optimise RAM/disk usage and implement caching mechanisms

**Resources Required**

1.  Senior Rust Developer: Expertise in Substrate and low-level systems
2.  Senior Rust Developer: Specializing in database architecture
3.  DevNet Environment: Dedicated nodes for rigorous testing

**Success Criteria**

-   Substrate nodes use QMDB for transaction storage
-   All Substrate and pallet-specific tests pass successfully
-   Performance benchmarks demonstrate improved transaction processing times
-   DevNet deployment runs stably with real-time monitoring and alerting

**Payment Conditions**

Payments will be made in instalments based on milestone completion. Each instalment will be subject to the successful delivery of agreed milestones. A detailed progress report will be submitted on Polkassembly/Subsquare.

**Why Polkadot Network?**

Polkadot’s focus on modular and scalable blockchain infrastructure makes it an ideal candidate for advanced storage optimisations like QMDB integration. By enhancing storage efficiency, this proposal aligns with Polkadot’s long-term vision of high-performance, decentralized systems.

QMDB Core Integration for Substrate Storage Enhancement

Six, a former Ambassador and Head Ambassador for Polkadot, is being recognized for his past work. He helped many people join Polkadot and was a voice of reason during the early days of the new Head Ambassador program. He tried to build consensus and maintain good relationships with everyone. 

The person suggesting this tip thinks Six's contributions are worth recognizing, and they are offering him USDT 20k, which is about half of what others have received for their work in the program. Six also wrote an article about his journey with Polkadot, which you can read here: [Six's Polkadot Journey](https://medium.com/@six_65870/polkadots-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market-7c4849e9842a).

I would like to propose a tip for Six, for his past work as Ambassador and Head Ambassador. I am doing so in response to his Call here: [https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-s-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market/11471](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-s-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market/11471)

Six has been part of the old ambassador program, long before Giotto proposed to link it to any salary. In this position he onboarded countless people to Polkadot, and also helped me get involved in the program.

During the messy early days of the new HA Program, Six has been a voice of reason, and in this divisive environment, managed to maintain a good relationship with almost everyone, avoiding taking sides and seeking to build consensus. Even through the Ambassador program ultimately went into a different direction, Six contributed greatly to the program’s foundation.

As for the size of the tip, it is always difficult to put a number to these contributions, so this exercise will never be perfect. But to put it into context, these USDT 20k it is approximately half of the amount requested by DDS and Lucy each for their work in the ambassador program.

Six recently posted this article, reflecting on his journey in Polkadot, which is well worth a read: [https://medium.com/@six\_65870/polkadots-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market-7c4849e9842a](https://medium.com/@six_65870/polkadots-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market-7c4849e9842a)

Tip for Six

Irving Cancino from Open Web Academy has proposed a treasury proposal called "Polkadot Education Path by Open Web Academy" to create a three-course certified training program for Polkadot beginners, enthusiasts, and experts, focusing on a Spanish-speaking audience. The proposal aims to address the lack of standardized educational offerings in blockchain technology, particularly in regions like Latin America and Africa. The program includes courses like Polkadot Elementals (PEC) Bootcamp, Polkadot Developer (PDC) Bootcamp, and Polkadot Architect (PAC) Bootcamp. The target audience includes new developers, experienced developers, entrepreneurs, and startups. The proposal also includes creating a playbook to replicate the learning model in other regions, promotional activities, partnerships with educational authorities, and a Polkadot Meetup in Guadalajara, Mexico. The full proposal can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14jndMCQxEJ2lm2BbfdmElvtcU8BNtpMCr8kTG9sPHk4/edit?usp=sharing).

Polkadot Education Path by Open Web Academy

Vote NAY - Wrong Preimage

- A new proposal has been created to request funding in USDT.
- The money will be used to maintain a tool called substrate-api-client from January to June 2025.
- The substrate-api-client is a library that helps people connect to special nodes and works well with small devices.
- It is similar to another tool called Polkadot-js and allows developers to work with Polkadot and Kusama chains easily.
- This proposal is part of ongoing efforts to get funding for maintenance.
- The group is asking for $33,200 for the project.
- More information can be found in the full proposal linked in the content.

Maintenance for the substrate-api-client Jan-25 to Jun-25

This proposal is asking for money to pay for work done to help the Polkadot ecosystem from July 1 to November 1, 2024. The person did many things like talking to new teams, helping with events, and making a handbook for Polkadot. They want to be paid $45,000 for working about 25 hours each week during that time. They have done a lot of work to help Polkadot grow and hope that the people in charge see how important their work is. Some of the main things they did include making the Polkadot Handbook, talking to teams that left Polkadot, and helping with business development and community activities.

Retroactive Funding for Ecosystem Activities

- Three accounts lost funds due to a bug in the runtime.
- The bug caused assets to be lost instead of being trapped.
- The bug has since been fixed.
- Funds lost due to this bug should be reimbursed.
- Assets that were trapped can be reclaimed, so they are not part of this proposal.
- A similar proposal was made for Kusama.
- The lost funds were from three specific extrinsics.

[Small Spender] Reimburse accounts affected by an XCM bug

- The Polkadot/Código Brazuca Academy started in July to train developers in Brazil.  
- The project got less money than planned because of currency changes.  
- Over 750 students joined, and big partners like São Paulo City Hall and Petrobras support it.  
- Many classes (like JavaScript, Web3, and Linux) are already done and online.  
- Some classes (like Rust and Polkadot tools) are still being worked on.  
- The team needs more money to finish all the promised lessons.  
- So far, $47,657 has been spent, and $20,057 is left for the next steps.  
- The project will take 11 months instead of 8 because more students joined.

**Context and Problem**

The Polkadot/Código Brazuca Academy training program commenced in July, launching our endeavor to establish a community of developers within the Polkadot ecosystem in Brazil. Our approved project, sanctioned by governance, encompasses various focal points that we have resolved to address and further develop based on the real-world circumstances we have encountered — [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/568](../referenda/568\).)

Between the proposal submission and the release of the funds, the currency devalued by 28.52%. The initial budget was set at US$ 95,000.00, but the project received a total of US$ 67,715.00 when the funds were released. At the time, there was no option to request funds in USDC or USDT, which could have mitigated the impact of this fluctuation. The team delivered many project milestones in the following months and achieved good results in Brazil. However, the team needs the total funds of the original proposal to accomplish the entire project and to deliver to the Brazilian community all the content that as promised.

Executive Summary: >> [Access the Executive Summary](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EZgxQuekdoL-nXP83i9bYOJA-Huo0H3z/view?usp=sharing) <<

At the outset, our online program engaged around 450 students, with 18 participating in on-site sessions. Presently, our collective student and member count has reached 753 individuals. Notably, while our Discord server indicates active members, others have engaged at various intervals and may not be part of the current cohort. The program continues to demonstrate consistent growth in user numbers and has played a pivotal role in establishing significant partnerships within the Brazilian community. Notably, the São Paulo City Hall, the largest city in Latin America, will disseminate the program across the municipality, the Curitiba City Hall has come on board as a partner, and Petrobras intends to integrate some of the content for internal employee training. Furthermore, Instituto Eldorado, a prominent technology institute with programmers and professionals already catering to the Brazilian market, has also pledged support. These collaborations underscore the program's expanding reach and influence across diverse sectors in Brazil.

**BUDGET**

You can review our initial budget in the proposal here: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/568](../referenda/568)

**![](https://i.ibb.co/DLDhBnW/expenses.png)**

So far, **$47,657.25** has been spent on course administration, one month of marketing to attract students, student selection, Discord management, lesson editing, instructors recording and giving extra lessons to answer student questions, and teaching in-person classes. These efforts allowed us to deliver milestones 1 to 7. Additionally, we can complete milestones 8,9,10 (october, November and December) with the remaining funds of $20,057.75 (october, november and december), reaching 65% of the project's milestones.

The **$27,545.72** will be used to complete milestones 11 through 15 (more 3 months - end march 2025) Due to a more extensive marketing campaign than initially planned, which extended over two additional months and reached recognized institutions, the project timeline requires an adjustment from 8 to 11 months. The campaign’s success has brought in a higher number of students than anticipated, demanding a synchronous approach to content development aligned with students' learning needs. This iterative process has enabled a notable enhancement in content quality. Despite the extended timeline, the budget remains unchanged as it was designed around the deliverables. Therefore, the program will be fully delivered as per the proposal with the requested timeline adjustment.

This proposal aims to create a collaborative strategy for Africa to increase awareness, adoption, and growth of Polkadot, a blockchain platform. The plan involves building a supportive community of agents representing Polkadot in Africa, with a focus on developers and content creators. The strategy includes educational sessions, community engagement, ecosystem representation, developer outreach, and encouraging the building of Polkadot native apps and integrations. The plan is divided into four phases: icebreaker events, Rust community activations, developer workshops, and community meetups. The team behind the proposal includes Bekka, Kratista0s, Sanchez, and Victor, who are also responsible for the Polkadot Africa X account. The requested amount for the project is $92,880, with the duration set from January to June 2025. The initiative will primarily focus on Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda, with a goal to eventually reach out to North and South African regions as well.

**TLDR:** Create a collaborative strategy for Africa aligning different stakeholders and the community to drive awareness, adoption and growth.

**Introduction**

In emerging markets, blockchain technology is essential and a chance to leapfrog several difficulties. Africa is one of the places where Web3 can fulfil its full adoption potential where people use the technology for daily things like remittance and cross-border payments.

**Motivation**

Polkadot has limited engagement and few project developments in Africa compared to newer platforms like Ethereum L2s, Solana, Avax, ICP Network etc

**Mission**

This proposal aims to build a supportive community of agents representing Polkadot in Africa. There are so many pieces to the puzzle when growing a diverse community. For instance, we would want developers and content creators. How do we achieve this? 

**Solutions**

-   Educational sessions.
-   Community engagement and management.
-   Ecosystem representation.
-   Developer outreach and support.
-   Encourage the building of Polkadot native apps and integrations.
-   Providing guides on utilising Polkadot native apps and products in the ecosystem.
-   Recruit mentors to help out and onboard new community members.

**Plan**

There would be different phases of development for this 6-month strategy. Please note that these 2 different phases could run in parallel too.

-   Icebreaker events (Phase 1)
-   Rust community activations (Phase 2)
-   Developer workshops (Phase 3)
-   Community meetups (Phase 4)

**The team**

-   Bekka - Developer relations lead West and East Africa
-   Kratist0s - Operations lead East Africa
-   Sanchez - Content creation and community manager
-   Victor - Business developer lead West Africa.

We are also the team behind the [Polkadot Africa X](https://x.com/AfricaPolkadot) account and collectively we've assisted to highlight activities by different community members as well as contribute in various capacities towards bringing Polkadot community together online and IRL.

**Requested amount:  $92,880**

**Duration: (Jan - Jun 2025)**

We would focus on setting up the foundations for the rest of the year and carry out initiatives properly next year. The full proposal is [here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10RPApEeBAzBEr9RQ5XPPoMhLj1HLF-J3u0dVvCRGHDA/edit?usp=sharing)

-   Team Compensation - $47,520
-   Events (sourced from EB) - $39,000
-   Utilities - $30,960
-   Transport (IRL events)- $11,400
-   Marketing - $3,000

Total (after EB deduction) = $92,880

**Regions/Key countries**

Our initiatives would be mostly carried out in these countries, we selected 2 countries from West and East African regions.

-   Nigeria
-   Kenya
-   Ghana
-   Uganda

**Limitations**

While our IRL activities will start with West and East Africa regions in select key cities, we still have a broader view to reach out to North and South African regions, support them online and create a website and discord community that caters to all community members from Africa

Treasury Proposal: Polkadot Africa Community Growth (West and East Africa regions) 

The Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) Debugger is a new tool designed to help developers work with PVM implementations. It has features like breakpoints, memory inspection, and can run programs on multiple PVM clients at the same time. This tool was made because there were no good tools for debugging PVM programs before. It can help find mistakes and make sure PVM programs work the same way on different clients.

The team who made the PVM Debugger, FluffyLabs.dev, is asking for money to help them keep working on the tool. They want to make it better and add more features. The PVM Debugger is already done and can be used by anyone for free. It is on a website called GitHub, where people can see the code and help improve it.

The team has a plan to make sure people use the PVM Debugger and give them feedback. They will talk to people on the internet and make changes to the tool based on what people say. They want to make sure the PVM Debugger stays helpful as Polkadot changes and grows.

Dear Polkadot Community,

We are pleased to present our proposal for retroactive funding for the **Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) Debugger**, a tool designed to streamline the development and validation of PVM implementations. This open-source debugger offers key functionalities such as breakpoints, memory inspection, and parallel execution across multiple PVM clients, enabling developers to identify discrepancies and ensure alignment with formal specifications.

The PVM Debugger was created to address the lack of specialized tools for debugging and validating PVM programs. By providing detailed insights into program execution and memory states, it aims to enhance development efficiency and improve the robustness of PVM implementations across the Polkadot ecosystem.

**Context**

The JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) prize is a Polkadot initiative that encourages teams to develop diverse implementations of the new iteration of Polkadot network proposed by Gavin Wood. As part of the implementation of the JAM protocol, teams need to implement the Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) which is responsible for execution of the state transition of underlying services. This implementation diversity is essential for ensuring the Polkadot network remains flexible, secure, and resilient. However, building these various PVM implementations introduces significant technical challenges, particularly around debugging and analyzing the behavior of PVM programs across different client implementations.

Our team is one of the participants in the JAM prize, focusing on creating a robust PVM interpreter. During our work, we realized the need for a specialized tool to streamline debugging and validation processes. Standard debugging tools did not provide the level of insight required to efficiently inspect program execution, memory usage, and register interactions within the PVM.

To address this, we developed the PVM Disassembler & Debugger ([https://pvm.fluffylabs.dev)](https://pvm.fluffylabs.dev\)) specifically tailored for the JAM ecosystem. The tool includes a machine code and assembly view, allowing developers to inspect the PVM programs at a low level. After plugging in one of many possible PVM interpreter implementations, it also offers key debugging features such as step-over functionality, breakpoints, and memory inspection, giving developers a detailed view of program behavior during execution.A significant potential benefit of the debugger is its ability to validate programs simultaneously across multiple PVM implementations, helping teams participating in the JAM prize identify discrepancies and improve client interoperability.

While the tool was initially created for our own development purposes, we recognized its value for the broader Polkadot community and have decided to open-source it. This will allow other teams to use the debugger for cross-client validation and debugging, accelerating their development process and ensuring the robustness of their PVM implementations.

**Problem**

The development of diverse Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) implementations, as encouraged by the JAM prize, introduces significant technical challenges. Developers might struggle with debugging and validating PVM programs across different implementations, lacking tools to gain deep insights into program execution, memory states, and discrepancies between clients. This slows down development and increases the risk of bugs going undetected.

Additionally, we believe the PVM Disassembler & Debugger will serve a greater educational purpose of introducing a new wave of developers that are going to build Services on top of JAM. With references to Gray Paper definitions of instructions we strive to make it easier to understand in depth the complexity of PVM’s formal specification.

While our current main focus is creating a tool that would serve JAM implementers, with a proposal Solidity smart contracts running on top of PolkaVM on Asset Hub: [https://forum.polkadot.network/t/contracts-update-solidity-on-polkavm/6949,](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/contracts-update-solidity-on-polkavm/6949,) the PVM Disassembler & Debugger might prove itself useful much wider.

**Proposal**

We propose retroactive funding of the PVM Disassembler & Debugger aimed at supporting the implementers of Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) interpreters as part of the JAM prize. The tool addresses the complexities and technical challenges developers face when debugging and validating PVM programs. Our goal is to provide a robust solution that helps developers better understand program execution, identify discrepancies between multiple PVM implementations, and align with the formal specifications in the Gray Paper.

By creating this open-source debugger, we aimed to not only solve immediate development issues but also contribute to the long-term robustness of the Polkadot/JAM ecosystem by promoting client diversity, enhancing the overall quality of PVM implementations and helping the builders of programs running on top of the PVM.

Please note that the JAM prize or other funding mechanisms do not cover tooling for JAM. The JAM prize focuses on client implementations but does not cover the development of ecosystem tools such as debuggers, which benefit all participants. This is why we are submitting this proposal directly to the treasury and the Polkadot ecosystem.

**Available solutions**

While RISC-V debuggers exist, there is no dedicated debugger for PVM currently available. Even if one existed, it would probably not support running a program in parallel across multiple PVM implementations, which is crucial for identifying discrepancies in client behavior—something that traditional debugging tools cannot achieve in a standard debugging setup. This project aims to fill that gap with a PVM-specific debugger tailored to the unique requirements of the JAM ecosystem.

**Scope of work**

The PVM Debugger ([https://pvm.fluffylabs.dev)](https://pvm.fluffylabs.dev\)) initial version 1.0 has been completed, providing a basic range of functionalities to support PVM client implementations in the Polkadot ecosystem. Below is an outline of the key deliverables and functionalities. The deliverable is under Mozilla Public License (MPL-2.0) license.

GitHub Repository: The complete source code for the debugger has been made available in a public repository ([https://github.com/FluffyLabs/pvm-debugger),](https://github.com/FluffyLabs/pvm-debugger\),) providing full transparency and allowing further community development.

**Objectives / Success criteria**

The success of the PVM Debugger project will be measured based on several key criteria focused on its adoption and utility within the Polkadot and JAM communities. These criteria will help determine if the project has met its objectives and if the final deliverable is satisfactory:

**1\. Adoption by Other JAM Teams**

-   Objective: The debugger will be used by other JAM prize participants to debug and validate their PVM implementations.
-   Success Criteria: At least three different PVM implementations are integrated into the PVM Debugger

**2\. Community Feedback**

-   Objective: Gain positive feedback from the Polkadot and JAM communities regarding the debugger’s utility and ease of use.
-   Success Criteria: Positive feedback from at least two JAM prize teams, with discussions in Polkadot forums or developer channels highlighting the debugger's value.

These success criteria will confirm that the PVM Debugger is an effective tool that serves its intended purpose of improving PVM implementation and debugging within the Polkadot ecosystem.

**Known constraints**

As we continue to expand the PVM Debugger by integrating additional PVM implementations, there are some known constraints that may affect future efforts:

1.  Integration Complexity: Further integration of PVMs, may require additional development time and resources. Managing the technical complexity of supporting new implementations could influence the timeline for integrating new PVMs.
2.  Coordination with Other JAM Teams: Future integrations may depend on testing and feedback from other JAM prize teams. Delays in receiving feedback or coordinating external testing could affect the speed of further integrations.
3.  No Prior Funding: The project has not been previously funded, ensuring no conflict of interest with other proposals or ongoing projects.

These constraints will be considered when expanding the debugger to support additional PVM implementations.

**Reporting**

Since the PVM Debugger project is already completed and this proposal seeks retroactive funding, there is no need for ongoing reporting related to the development process. However, the history of commits and progress can be fully tracked and reviewed on GitHub, providing full transparency on the project's timeline and milestones.

Should any future updates or enhancements be made, relevant information will be shared through appropriate channels, such as GitHub or Polkadot community forums.

**Communication strategy**

1.  For the PVM Debugger, ongoing communication with the community will primarily be managed through GitHub and other Polkadot-related channels. The following outlines how the team will present information, engage with the community, and handle feedback.
2.  Channels for Communication:

-   GitHub Issues: For bug reports, feature requests, and general issues, community members can create and track issues via GitHub Issues. This will be the primary channel for technical discussions and development tracking.
-   Polkassembly: Updates, feedback, and larger announcements will be shared with the Polkadot community via Polkassembly posts.
-   Element: For real-time communication, the project team will participate in relevant JAM-related Element channels to engage with users, answer questions, and provide updates.

**Why Polkadot**

The Polkadot ecosystem is a cutting-edge of blockchain innovation that builds trustless, privacy-preserving solutions, which are the foundations of Web3.0. JAM, as an important next step for Polkadot development, stands as a crucial initiative to make that vision happen. Our values are fully aligned and we are seeing an opportunity to build the development tooling for JAM as early as possible to make sure we are ready to get wider developer adoption of the protocol.

**Comments, Qs&As**

**How does the PVM Debugger benefit teams beyond the JAM prize?** Since the PVM is going to be an execution bedrock of future JAM services, we hope that the PVM Debugger (and its future iterations) will help not only the JAM implementers, but also the developers building services on top of JAM. Moreover, given the proposal to have Solidity Smart Contracts on PVM running on Asset Hub ([https://forum.polkadot.network/t/contracts-update-solidity-on-polkavm/6949)](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/contracts-update-solidity-on-polkavm/6949\)) we are considering to support more specialized debugging primitives for such contracts (like supporting debug symbols or the required host calls - cross contract calls, storage, etc).

**Why are you requesting retroactive funding instead of building this under the JAM prize?** The JAM prize focuses on client implementations but does not cover the development of ecosystem tools like e.g. debuggers, which benefit all participants. We developed the PVM Debugger to solve problems that arose during our own implementation and are now making it available to the entire community. Retroactive funding allows us to recover the costs of building this tool and ensures that it remains freely available and open-source.

**Will there be further development of the PVM Debugger?** While this proposal is specifically for retroactive funding, we are going to continue developing the PVM Debugger to add more features and integrations in the future. However, these future developments are independent from the current funding request.

**How will you ensure that the debugger remains relevant as Polkadot evolves?** The PVM Debugger is built to be flexible, allowing integration with new PVM implementations as they emerge. By keeping the tool open-source, we also invite contributions from the wider developer community to help ensure it remains relevant and aligned with Polkadot’s ongoing development.

**Your feedback**

We welcome feedback and suggestions from the Polkadot community to ensure the PVM Debugger meets the needs of developers and contributes effectively to the ecosystem. Your insights will help us refine the tool, prioritize future features, and maximize its impact. Please share your thoughts on Polkassembly or reach out to us directly through the provided channels. We look forward to collaborating with you to strengthen the Polkadot ecosystem together!

Gm Polkadot is requesting a joint tip of 9910 DOT for DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden for their work on The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months. They were involved as Head Ambassadors and worked on collecting, coordinating, and editing the Ambassador Fellowship manifesto, which led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. They are asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs each, which they believe is a fair compromise between their expectations and the work they delivered. Their work can be checked through their reports and the Project Phoenix timeline, Polkadot Ambassador fellowship manifesto, Phragmen Initiatives Fund, and Proposals 1267 and 1287.

Gm Polkadot,

This is a tip request for the work done by DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden. We’re asking a joint tip of 9910 DOT for our involvement and the work we did for The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months.

This tip proposal covers both our activities as **Head Ambassadors** and all the work of collecting, coordinating and editing the **Ambassador Fellowship manifesto** that led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. We're asking for this tip together because we feel that the work we've done on the Phoenix programme is not separable and should be seen as a whole, and also as an attempt to reduce OpenGov solicitation as much as possible.

We’re asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs which we believe is a fair compromise between the expectation we had when running as head ambassador and the amount of work and results we both delivered as Head Ambassadors and coordinators of the Phoenix Program.

You can check the work achieved as ambassadors through both of our reports : [DonDiegoSanchez](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/dondiegosanchez-ha-report/10368?u=dondiegosanchez) — [Lucy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XoJpSVuHyLS4utmDHcv2777SLvyy-z3vToWbavajIjs/edit?tab=t.0)

Financial education is a fundamental pillar for economic and social development, especially in Latin America, a region where gaps in knowledge and access to financial tools limit growth opportunities. Advancing in this area not only empowers individuals, but also strengthens communities, promoting a more equitable and sustainable ecosystem In this context, Polkadot is positioning itself as much more than just a blockchain: it is consolidating itself as a resilient computing service, capable of providing efficient and secure solutions for multiple industries. Its application in the field of DeFi (decentralized finance) is a clear example of what it can achieve, demonstrating its ability to transform entire sectors with innovative technologies.

During 2024, the results of the educational program have been highly positive:

-   One university in the region has joined the proposal, opening training spaces in decentralized finance.
-   Students from various disciplines have acquired practical knowledge about Polkadot, including the creation of wallets, staking, and the mint of digital assets.
-   We are starting a dialogue with academic institutions, so that they get to know Polkadot as an innovative and reliable network. • It spreads the word about education at La Bitconf, the oldest cryptographic event, where more than 10,000 people participate. In addition, this educational program highlights the versatility of Polkadot, showing how it can be a driver of change not only in DeFi, but also in areas such as digital identity, logistics, and smart infrastructures. The vision for the future is clear: to consolidate this educational proposal to make Polkadot a benchmark in financial education, blockchain technology, and resilient computing. This effort seeks not only to increase the recognition of the network, but also to have a positive impact on the region by forming generations trained to face the challenges of the digital world.

PROPOSAL EDUCATING IN LATIN AMERICA WITH THE POLKADOT ECOSYSTEM PART 2

Subcoin, a Bitcoin full node project, received a grant from Web3 Foundation to create a decentralized Bitcoin fast sync mechanism using the Polkadot SDK framework. However, they faced issues with Substrate's inability to import large states during state sync, leading to Out-of-Memory errors. This problem affects other Substrate-based projects as well. The main issues are:

1. Out-of-Memory issue when importing large states.
2. Lack of persistent state sync support.

To address these problems, a follow-up grant proposal was submitted to Web3 Foundation, but they recommended treasury funding instead. The goal is to improve Substrate's state sync capabilities by resolving the OOM issue and implementing persistent state sync, allowing Substrate-based projects to use advanced sync strategies regardless of chain state size. Some fast sync-related bugs have also been identified and fixed to improve Substrate's sync mechanisms.

## Context

### Motivation

Several months ago, [Subcoin](https://github.com/subcoin-project/subcoin), a Rust Bitcoin Full Node implementation, received a grant from the Web3 Foundation as a showcase of the `polkadot-sdk` framework. The project aimed to implement a decentralized Bitcoin fast sync mechanism, enabling Bitcoin users to quickly sync with the network tip by directly downloading the Bitcoin state (UTXO set) from the Subcoin P2P network in a decentralized manner.

However, limitations in the Substrate framework prevented the realization of this vision. The primary issue was Substrate's inability to import large states (several gigabytes or more) downloaded during state sync without encountering Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors. As a result, we could only demonstrate the Bitcoin fast sync functionality by syncing to an intermediate block height, falling short of the original objective.

### Background

Since completing the Subcoin w3f grant, I have been actively working to address the challenges related to state sync. Through extensive investigation, we identified the root cause of the OOM issue: Substrate attempts to construct the entire trie in memory during the state import process ([Issue #5053](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/5053#issuecomment-2325449167)).

With guidance from the `polkadot-sdk` maintainers, a rough plan to resolve the OOM issue and introduce persistent state sync support has been formulated. Preliminary efforts have already yielded encouraging results, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive solution.

Based on the progress made so far, I submitted a follow-up grant proposal to the w3f grants program. However, after careful consideration, the reviewers recommended the treasury funding route to better support this work ([https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/2436#issuecomment-2479329146).](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/2436#issuecomment-2479329146\).)

## Problem

The current fast sync feature in Substrate suffers from significant limitations, making it unusable or impractical in certain scenarios:

1.  **OOM issue on importing the large state:**
    
    Substrate fails to import states downloaded via state sync due to the OOM issue when the chain state is large. This limitation affects not only Subcoin but any project using Substrate, including Polkadot itself. For example, the Astar network has already encountered this issue ([Issue #5053](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/5053)).
    
2.  **Lack of persistent state sync support:**
    
    State sync in Substrate currently lacks the ability to persist partial progress, requiring the entire process to restart in case of interruptions.
    

These challenges must be addressed to unlock the full potential of Substrate's advanced sync strategies, including warp sync and fast sync, particularly for projects with large chain states.

**Additional Notes**

In addition to the above issues, I have identified and addressed several other fast sync-related bugs during my work, with some fixes already implemented and others still in progress. These improvements aim to enhance the overall reliability and functionality of Substrate's sync mechanisms.

-   [https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5774](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5774)
-   [https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5635](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5635)
-   [https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5703](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5703)

## Objective

The goal of this proposal is to enhance Substrate's capabilities by addressing the key state sync obstacles listed in [Subcoin Issue #56](https://github.com/subcoin-project/subcoin/issues/56). Specifically, this work will focus on resolving the OOM issue and implementing persistent state sync, ensuring that Substrate-based projects can reliably utilize advanced synchronization strategies, regardless of chain state size.

Treasury Proposal: Funding for Enhancing Substrate Fast Sync for Large Chain States

A new proposal aims to integrate SolidityScan, a blockchain security platform, with key projects in the Polkadot ecosystem like BiFrost, Moonbeam, Hydration, and Unique Network. This integration will provide users with security scores and analysis for verified contracts, enhancing security, transparency, and user experience. The integration will be done in two phases: first, with SolidityScan integrating with explorers, and second, with direct API integration on ecosystem explorers. The one-time API integration fee for each explorer is $2,500. SolidityScan has already integrated with over 40 Blockscout-based blockchain explorers and has a successful track record. Edgetributor SubDAO will help with curation and operations for this integration. The total amount requested for this proposal is 11,000 USDC.

# Integration Partnership with SolidityScan for Enhanced Security in the Polkadot Ecosystem

## **Overview**

_This proposal seeks to establish an integration partnership between SolidityScan and key projects in the Polkadot ecosystem, including BiFrost, Moonbeam, Hydration, and Unique Network. SolidityScan is a leading blockchain security platform specializing in smart contract analysis, designed to promote trust, transparency, and security in decentralized applications. By integrating SolidityScan’s analysis tools into the explorers of these ecosystems, users will benefit from real-time insights into contract security, ultimately enhancing the user experience and security of the ecosystem as a whole._

## **Proposal Goals**

_The goal of this partnership is to provide users of these ecosystem explorers with access to SolidityScan’s security analysis and scores for verified contracts. This integration aims to:_

-   _Elevate security by displaying SolidityScan’s security scores and analyses._
-   _Enhance transparency through direct access to SolidityScan’s insights on the explorers._
-   _Streamline the user experience by embedding security insights directly into the explorers._

## **Value Proposition for Polkadot Ecosystem Users**

### 1\. Elevated Security

_Users of Polkadot ecosystem explorers will have direct access to SolidityScan’s security scores for verified contracts, which indicate any potential vulnerabilities. This empowers users with the information needed to make secure and informed interactions with smart contracts._

### 2\. Increased Transparency

_Displaying SolidityScan’s analysis reports directly within the explorer interfaces will provide Polkadot users with increased transparency. This accessibility encourages trust and helps foster a secure ecosystem environment._

### 3\. Streamlined User Experience

_By integrating security insights within the existing explorer interface, users can view SolidityScan’s findings in a seamless, familiar way, enhancing their experience and confidence._

## **Phased Integration Approach**

_To ensure an effective and smooth integration process, the integration is proposed in two phases:_

### **Phase 1: Initial SolidityScan Integration with Explorers**

_Timeline: This phase can be completed within a few days upon receiving the necessary API credentials and data points from the explorer teams._

_Functionalities: SolidityScan will establish a direct integration with the explorers, allowing users to scan verified contracts hosted on the explorers and access security analysis reports through SolidityScan’s interface._

### **Phase 2: Direct API Integration on Ecosystem Explorers**

_Timeline: The timeline will be decided upon further discussion with each explorer team, taking into consideration specific functionalities and data requirements._

_Functionalities: This phase will allow explorers to integrate SolidityScan’s APIs directly into their systems. Users can view security scores and analysis reports directly within the explorers, promoting a more secure, transparent, and user-friendly experience._

## **A Glimpse into SolidityScan's Integration**

_1\. Locate the "Verified Contracts" section on your blockchain explorer and choose a verified smart contract from the list. Look for the distinctive SolidityScan shield icon with the **Security Score** on the top right corner of the contract page._

_Integration with Astar Explorer_

## **Integration Pricing:**

_One-time API integration fee of $2,500 for each explorer._

_This fee covers the development and deployment costs for integrating SolidityScan's security analysis tools into your explorer._

## **Track Record of Success**

_SolidityScan has successfully integrated its security analysis into over 40 [Blockscout-based](https://solidityscan.com/discover/blockscout-integrates-solidityscan/) blockchain explorers, including prominent networks such as Base, Ethereum, [Avalanche](https://solidityscan.com/discover/avascan-integrates-solidityscan/), Gnosis, and Rootstock. Additionally, SolidityScan has partnered with established blockchain explorers like RouteScan and BlocksScan. These integrations demonstrate SolidityScan’s commitment to enhancing security and transparency across the blockchain space by providing accessible and reliable security insights within widely used explorers. We have also integrated with [Remix IDE](https://solidityscan.com/discover/remix-solidityscan-perfect-security-solution/) & have created a plugin for [VScode](https://solidityscan.com/discover/solidityscan-vscode-plugin/) which enables developers to use SolidityScan’s capabilities directly in their coding environment._

## **Conclusion**

_SolidityScan’s integration with BiFrost, Moonbeam, Hydration, and Unique Network will provide ecosystem users with valuable security insights, fostering a secure, transparent, and user-centric environment. We invite these ecosystems to join hands with SolidityScan and leverage our expertise in blockchain security to protect users and encourage a culture of transparency and trust within Polkadot._

_We look forward to integrating with Polkadot AssetHub once pallet-revive is incorporated into its runtime._

## **Edgetributor SubDAO’s role**

_The SolidityScan team reached out to Edgetributor SubDAO to integrate with Edgeware EdgeEVM explorer and Edgetributor SubDAO members noticed that there are many other Polkadot ecosystem chains with EVMs which can also be benefited from the potential ecosystem-wide integration. With the upcoming pallet-revive on AssetHub, it’s better to test such an integration on a smaller scale first on a few existing parachains having active EVMs. Thus Edgetributor SubDAO members suggested the SolidityScan team to start with BiFrost, Moonbeam, Hydration, and Unique Network before moving on to the ecosystem-wide integration._

-   **_Curation_**_: Introducing the SolidityScan team to the Substrate/ Polkadot ecosystem and OpenGov quirks along with the curation of the development scope/ proposal._
-   **_Operations_**_: Setting up points of contacts/groups with the chains to be integrated and provide expertise with frontier/ substrate wherever needed._

## **Onchain proposal details:**

_Amount Requested: 10000 USDC_
