### GlobalLedger Proposal for Polkadot

**Summary:**
GlobalLedger offers compliance tools and services to help Polkadot projects qualify for VASP licenses, engage with traditional financial institutions, and maintain MiCA-compliant stablecoins. The proposal aims to provide decision support for regulators and ensure listing on centralized exchanges in a tightening regulatory environment.

**Key Benefits:**
- **Cost-Effective:** Only 20,000 DOT required initially.
- **Quick Delivery:** First tools ready in 3-4 weeks.
- **Inclusive Access:** Tools available to all community members.
- **Support for Parachains:** Opportunity to vote for 10 additional parachains.

**Comparison:**
- **Alternative to Big Brands:** Focuses on practical software, education, and consulting rather than a strategic partnership with a large company.

- **Implementation:** Maintenance for 3 years, integration into Scorechain's marketing, and a dedicated campaign about the coverage.

Scorechain proposes to create an open-source tool called Polkadot Connector for KYT providers to offer compliance solutions for regulated actors on Polkadot. The proposal requires a medium spender of $508k USDC to maintain the Polkadot Connector for three years, provide full KYT coverage for the Relay chain and the most active parachains, and offer free KYT coverage for one year to all current customers. Additionally, 15 free licenses will be provided to the HA and BD team to distribute to financial actors building products and services secured by Polkadot.
