Polkadot is planning to add native storage to its network, using only DOT as the native token. This will allow anyone in the ecosystem to store and retrieve data through XCM. The idea is inspired by Gavin's vision of building a Ubiquitous Supercomputer. This storage offering will be similar to Filecoin and will help Polkadot become more like a supercomputer.

The native storage will be a system parachain, with DOT as the fee token. This is important because it will keep Polkadot independent from other networks and tokens. Compared to other storage networks like Crust, Polkadot's native storage will be provided by its own storage providers, not a subset of another network. Also, there will be no new token created for this project, so DOT will be the only fee payment token.

The team behind this proposal has experience in bringing MoveVM to Substrate and maintaining IPFS in Rust. They have also done extensive research on how to create this native storage. The goal is to make the system open source and decentralized, so anyone can propose improvements and maintain it.

Eiger proposes to add native storage offering to Polkadot, using DOT exclusively as the native token, as a system parachain, for the supercomputer vision, with open-source and open-license, avoiding dependence on other networks or tokens. They have extensive research and experience in Rust and MoveVM. Read their full proposal for more details.

Electrocoin, a cryptocurrency brokerage and payment processing company, has proposed a new remittance platform called LiteSend. LiteSend aims to use blockchain technology to make international money transfers more efficient, secure, and cost-effective. The platform is currently in silent production and is accessible via a user-friendly website. Funds raised will be used to integrate stablecoin transactions, fund marketing campaigns, and expand the network of partner institutions.

LiteSend works by assigning a bank account number from a partner institution in the sender's region, converting the amount into a stablecoin on Polkadot's AssetHub chain, and then transferring it to a corresponding partner in the recipient's area. The main goal is to simplify and accelerate the remittance process while ensuring lower transaction fees and enhanced security.

Electrocoin was founded in 2014 and has become one of the most successful crypto companies in the region, enabling fast, easy, and secure cryptocurrency trading within the European Union. The company has a team of 30 members and has been recognized for its growth and innovation in the business community.

The problem statement highlights the slow and expensive nature of traditional remittance services, with international transfers taking 1 to 5 working days and an average cost of 6.18%. LiteSend proposes to use blockchain technology to speed up, secure, and decrease the cost of the remittance process.

The development tasks and budget for LiteSend include researching Polkadot's architecture, integration, and polishing the user interface. The marketing strategy focuses on partner acquisition and user acquisition through various channels such as events, online media, social media, and direct marketing. The total budget for development, marketing, and acquiring partner institutions is $195,000, equivalent to 28,761 DOT tokens.
