RegionX is a project that helps teams save money when using the Polkadot network. Here are the key points:

- RegionX reduces costs for current and new projects on Polkadot.
- Polkadot lets projects run by reserving time on computers called cores.
- There are two ways to get this time: Bulk Coretime (for planning ahead) and Instantaneous Coretime (for immediate needs).
- Bulk Coretime can be traded as special tokens called NFTs.
- RegionX will create a marketplace for trading these time tokens.
- The marketplace will allow more flexible options for teams to get the time they need.
- It will also help teams that do not have lots of money to start their projects.  
- The project aims to make it easier for everyone to use Polkadot by promoting fair trading of Coretime.

RegionX proposes a marketplace for trading Coretime on the Polkadot network, offering more flexible procurement methods for existing and new projects. The marketplace will enable the trading of Coretime regions, with a variety of properties, including active and inactive regions. The project aims to reduce deployment and operational costs for projects on Polkadot, enabling more teams to bring their projects to production. The proposal includes three main components: the core of the market, order processor, and reward system. The project will attract Coretime traders, who will compete to make the best offers for Coretime procurement.

SHITTY PROPOSAL SORRY 

The ED proposal is a plan to distribute DED tokens to DOT holders. It was created by Ramsey from Decentration.org. They want to give out Existential Deposits (EDs) to everyone who gets DED tokens. They asked for 31,200 DOT to make this happen.

But, the DOTisDED team changed their minds. They now want to use a DED Bounty Fund instead of this proposal. The community also agreed with this change, which led to Referendum #556.

The person who made the proposal thinks that using a DED Bounty Fund will give DED a better chance of success. They believe that trying to make a very valuable token with a small budget is not a good idea. So, they decided to cancel this proposal and let the DED Bounty Fund happen instead.

WHO: DED Tech Midwife (part of DOTisDED team)

WHAT: Proposal for funding the distribution of Existential Deposits (EDs) to all DED recipients + fees and technical value provided.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Requested DOT: 31,200. Version 0.2.1. However, the proposal has been cancelled in favor of a DED Bounty Fund.
