Polkadot's nomination system is important for the network's security and decentralization. Nominators choose the best nodes and are rewarded for their actions. However, some nominators behave suboptimally and risk losing rewards. To help nominators improve their actions, a solution called Motif is proposed. Motif includes leaderboards for nominator rewards and validator payouts, which will help nominators learn from the best and make better decisions. This will benefit the Polkadot ecosystem by improving decentralization and onboarding new nominators.

Motif proposes to implement nominator leaderboards, dashboards that visualize nominator behavior, offering a comprehensive view of actions and results within the Polkadot system. This tool aims to prompt nominators to act before facing disincentivization, thus softening the tool's impact without compromising its efficacy. The proposed solution will include Nominator, Validator, and Nomination Pool Dashboards. The team has relevant experience with different methods of blockchain research and will implement the interface in the form of a desktop web app.

Hello there! We have a new idea to share with you. We want to make a program called Polkadot Live that will help people use a special kind of computer network called blockchain on their computers. This program will let people get messages and do things right from their computer without needing to go on the internet.

A man named Ross showed how this could work at a big meeting in 2023. We want to get money to hire a very good computer programmer to help make this program a reality. This person will work with Ross to make the program better and better.

We are asking for 24,937 DOT (which is like money) to make this happen. We will use the money to pay the person we hire and to help manage the project. We also want to share the computer code for Polkadot Live with everyone on the internet so they can use it too.

We hope to start this project on September 27, 2023. If you want to learn more, you can read our full plan on a website called Google Doc. We also talked about this idea with other people and you can see what they said on a website called Polkassemby.

Polkadot Live development seeks funding for 1 full-time senior software engineer for 12 months. The engineer will report to Ross Bulat and work on the Polkadot Live app, which aims to improve the blockchain user experience. The requested funds are 24,937 DOT ($100k @ $4.01 / 1 DOT), with 15% going to JKRB Investments and 80% for the engineer's salary. The deliverables include an initial release of the app for macOS and Windows and open sourcing of the codebase on Github.

Hello Polkadot ecosystem community! We are excited to share our work on the proposal approved on March 23, 2023, and we are asking for more funds to develop OpenBrush's milestones 8-9 and 11.

**Context:**
Our proposal was approved by 79.4% of Kusama OpenGov, but the second funding installment did not pass. We don't think there are any problems with our work or OpenBrush, which is used by many projects like AlephZero, Astar Network, and Phala Network. Some tokenholders suggested we ask for funding on Polkadot.

**Summary:**
OpenBrush helps grow the WASM smart contracts field. WebAssembly is the future of smart contracts, and OpenBrush is a key tool for ink! dApps. Over 15 teams and 3 parachains use OpenBrush, and this proposal will help us add more features that developers need.

**Stakeholders and Users:**
AlephZero, Astar Network, Phala Network, SubWallet, Artzero, Abax Finance, and many others.

**Delivery:**
You can read our delivery report and the full proposal here: [Google Doc Link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o_gPHNn1L3lDEglil3S7t-xdl00Gz66dUHKkfNM51a8/edit?usp=sharing)

Notifi Network is a cross-chain communication and messaging infrastructure for web3 builders. They offer devtools for web3 projects to send real-time alerts to users. Notifi is asking for a grant from the Polkadot Treasury to provide their services to the Polkadot relay chain and its ecosystem parachains. They believe their platform can help increase the use of Polkadot-native platforms.

The problem Notifi is solving is the difficulty of building notifications and alerts within web3 due to the decentralized nature of user onboarding. Notifi's solution is a customizable, white-labeled communication platform that can be embedded into web3 dApps. They can monitor and parse smart contract events to create custom notifications like loan health, governance proposals, and staking alerts.

Notifi has worked with Parity and received interest from 16 parachains, wallets, and ecosystem partners for their notification services. They want to work closely with the Polkadot community and receive feedback on their proposal.

OnFinality is a SaaS platform that provides infrastructure services for the Polkadot/Substrate community. They aim to support blockchain developers by providing core infrastructure so they can focus on building decentralized applications (dApps). OnFinality has requested $54,862 to cover ongoing and advanced costs for running high-performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure for Polkadot, Statemint, Collectives, Westend, Encointer, Bridgehub Polkadot, and Bridgehub Westend in Q3 (July, August, September).

Public RPC services are important for the Polkadot ecosystem as they reduce barriers to entry for accessing high-performance nodes and allow development teams to focus on innovation. OnFinality provides free public API services for Polkadot, Statemint, Westend, Collectives, and Encointer, and has recently added Bridgehub Polkadot and Bridgehub Westend.

OnFinality focuses on three key areas: performance/reliability, providing more value from their Ultimate API service, and cost optimization. They strive for a minimum of 99.99% reliability, offer advanced features like geolocation insights and Trace API support, and have added support for 14 more Polkadot parachains and various other networks. They also provide advanced rate limiting controls and a 'Paid API Revenue Share Discount' scheme to support service sustainability.

In the last three months, OnFinality's Polkadot API service has served a total of 2.7 billion responses, with a rolling 7-day average of over 21 million responses per day. The 90-day uptime for Polkadot, Statemint, Westend, Encointer, and Collectives was 100%, 100%, 99.66%, 99.99%, and 99.99%, respectively. The total combined running cost for Q3 is $54,862, which is less than requested in Q2 due to ongoing cost optimization efforts.

OnFinality requests USD $54,862.00 (DOT 12,153.7439) for Q3 2023 to cover ongoing costs for running high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure for Polkadot, Statemint, Collectives, Westend, Encointer, Bridgehub Polkadot, and Bridgehub Westend.
