OpenGov referendum 494 has received a lot of support from the community. The storage network has completed phase 1 and some extra parts. Weekly updates are posted on the forum. A book with technical details and instructions on how to test the storage network is available online. Work continues on phase 2 tasks.

Two additional projects are being worked on that contribute to Polkadot:

1. Move has been integrated into Substrate, allowing builders to integrate the Move VM and execute Move smart contracts. This means anyone can now create a Move parachain on Polkadot.
2. A full team is working on Strawberry, the client implementation of JAM, and is close to the first milestone.

PolkaStorage is being added to Polkadot as a native storage offering. It uses DOT exclusively as the fee token and is inspired by the idea of a ubiquitous supercomputer. PolkaStorage relies on other networks less and brings in storage providers to the ecosystem, with service fees paid in DOT. It uses some Filecoin libraries but is a custom implementation tailored to the needs of the DOT ecosystem.

Eiger's Polka Storage is being integrated with JAM's Preimage Lookup System and Data Availability. This provides access to larger data capacity that doesn't fit in account state and serves as the underlying storage layer for resupply of unrequested data that needs to be provided to validators on request. This allows for the best of both worlds: JAM with Data Availability, where apps can access this data and only keep crucial parts on the JAM state.

WHO: Eiger Co.

WHAT: Completed phase 1 of the storage network, integrated Move to Substrate, and working on Strawberry client implementation of JAM.

Peter Molnar, the CTO of Mosaic Chain, has proposed a budget of 79,520 USDT to develop the Mosaic Indexer and Mosaic Explorer. These are a Rust-based Substrate Indexer and a decentralized blockchain explorer, respectively. The goal is to decentralize the Mosaic Chain and its associated infrastructures, such as the blockchain indexer and explorer, to ensure they are not reliant on any single entity. The Mosaic Indexer queries on-chain data directly from parachains to a local database, while the Mosaic Explorer runs on multiple blockchain nodes' hardware and maintains connection via a p2p connection through a VPN, forwarding on-chain information to Explorer UIs in a decentralized manner. The project aims to broaden the indexing landscape by offering a free alternative for teams with limited financial resources and to create a significant advantage in terms of ultimate decentralization for indexing blockchains. The Mosaic Indexer and Mosaic Explorer will be open-sourced, allowing the Polkadot community to own and run them.

WHO: Mosaic Chain Team, led by CTO Peter Molnar. 

WHAT: Proposal to develop and open-source a Rust-based Substrate Indexer (Mosaic Indexer) and a decentralized blockchain explorer (Mosaic Explorer) for the Polkadot ecosystem. 

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Requested budget of 79,520 USDT, with the open-source code to be released once development is completed.
