### Summary

- **Objective:** Open XCM channels between Polkadot parachains to improve interoperability.
- **Current Issue:** Many parachains lack DOT in their "Child" accounts, making it difficult to open XCM channels.
- **Proposed Solution:** Deposit 2261 DOT into the "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to facilitate channel openings.
- **Benefits:** Increases accessibility of parachain tokens on Polkadot DeFi platforms, enhances XCM traffic, and simplifies integration.
- **Implementation:** Targeting specific DOT amounts for each parachain based on size and potential use cases.
- **Feedback:** Initial feedback supports the initiative, with 72% of voters in favor of using treasury funds for this purpose.

Executed

Polkadot Treasury will deposit 2261 DOT into the Polkadot relaychain "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to make it easier to open XCM channels between chains. The proposal aims to increase the amount of XCM traffic, make more parachain tokens accessible to Polkadot DeFi on Hydration, Bifrost, Moonbeam, Astar, and remove one technical barrier to further integration and use case development between chains. The proposal will be implemented by submitting governance proposals to each parachain to open channels. The proposal will cost less than $1k and will be paid in DOT.

On July 3, 2024, a special Polkadot event will happen at Sway Bar in London. This event is only for 200 people who are invited. The goal is to help people learn more about Polkadot technology and how it can be used in the real world. London is a big place for money, but there isn't much Polkadot there yet. Many projects are being built using Polkadot, and they need money to grow. So, we want to bring more money into Polkadot and its projects.

We will have important people from different groups, like Parity, PBA, project teams, people who give money, and people who work with buildings and laws. We want to show how Polkadot can work with other things using something called XCM. This will help people see that Polkadot is a new and better way to use the internet.

We also want to start a regular meeting in London for people who work with computers and the internet. They can learn more about Polkadot and how they can use it to make cool things.

In person Polkadot centric event x200 people (strictly invitation only) Location: Sway Bar, Holborn, London UK Date: 03/07/2024 Summary: We aim to create much greater understanding about the Polkadot technology but also the opportunities of real world applications that can, and are, being built on Polkadot. London is one of the biggest financial hubs in the world yet there is virtually no Polkadot presence currently. Ecosystem projects (from all around the world) are being built on Polkadot, however they all require funding at every stage of their development, so we need a constant flow of new liquidity into Polkadot and the wider ecosystem. We aim to bring together key figures both within; Parity, PBA (and Alumni), Ecosystem Project teams, VCs & Investors, Real Estate Developers & Investors & Legal Professionals. By showcasing Polkadots interoperability and trustless bridging using XCM in tangible projects, will give much needed reassurance that Polkadot is the new iteration of the internet. We also aim to kick start a regular London Polkadot meetup (coordinated by PBA alumni) for web3 / web2 engineers & builders to learn more about the Polkadot technology and how they can get involved to start building cool stuff.

WHO: The organizers aim to bring together key figures within Parity, PBA, Ecosystem Project teams, VCs & Investors, Real Estate Developers & Investors & Legal Professionals.

WHAT: A Polkadot centric event to create greater understanding about the technology and opportunities of real-world applications built on Polkadot.
