The Sónar+D DAO by Polkadot

- Polkadot plans to introduce a native storage offering using DOT as the exclusive token.
- This aligns with Gavin Wood's vision of building a "Ubiquitous Supercomputer."
- The storage system will be a system parachain, ensuring it is decentralized and not dependent on other networks.
- Unlike Crust, which uses IPFS, Polkadot's native storage will be fully controlled by Polkadot's storage providers.
- The project aims to avoid creating a new token, keeping DOT as the sole fee payment token.
- The solution will be open-source and community-driven, with no single ownership.
- The team behind this proposal has experience with MoveVM, Rust IPFS, and extensive research on the topic.
- More details and resources are available in the linked documents and forums.

### Dota: Polkadot Inscription Ecosystem

- **Background**: Inscriptions are data embedded in Bitcoin transactions, enabling permanent records without compromising security. This led to a billion-dollar ecosystem on the BTC network.
  
- **Polkadot's Edge**: Polkadot's system.remark module is more suitable for inscriptions, offering higher performance and lower gas fees compared to Bitcoin.
  
- **Ecosystem Impact**: Inscriptions on Polkadot can drive traffic and economic growth, as seen in the Dota mint event, which attracted 21,363 new users and consumed 328,254 $DOT.
  
- **Economic Boost**: Inscriptions can generate revenue for the Polkadot Treasury and nodes, enriching $DOT usage scenarios and boosting economic prosperity.
  
- **Polkadot 2.0 Transition**: Inscriptions aid the shift from a "chain-centric" to an "application-centric" model, providing a structural traffic gateway.
  
- **Dota's Role**: Dota is an inscription ecosystem on Polkadot, including the dot20 protocol standard, $DOTA token, and infrastructure like the Dota platform.
  
- **Future Plans**: Dota aims to establish foundational infrastructure, including indexing, ledger, marketplace, and launchpad, with community-driven development and governance.
  
- **Treasury Requirements**: Dota seeks support from the Polkadot Treasury for stable development, with milestones including standard establishment, application construction, and ecosystem governance.

4. **Challenges Addressed**: The protocol tackles two main issues:
   - DOT holders valuing near-term liquidity.
   - Fear of being doxxed from public voting behavior.

5. **Benefits**: Project Glove aims to increase OpenGov participation, Polkadot network transactions, and decentralize voting power.

6. **Capital Efficiency**: The protocol allows DOT holders to use less DOT at lower convictions to achieve the same voting results.

7. **Pseudo-Anonymity**: Project Glove can obscure how a DOT holder participates in governance, enhancing privacy.

8. **Future Prospects**: The project aims to create more business opportunities for the team and elevate OpenGov through increased participation.
