- Talisman, a project in the Polkadot community, is requesting funding for development and marketing.
- They have generated over 8 times their costs in value so far.
- They propose a results-based funding model instead of fixed subsidies for each project milestone.
- The proposed bounty is large, but only 15% is guaranteed; the rest depends on results over 7 months.
- This model introduces "Incentive Pools," a new concept for results-based funding.
- The goal is to attract new stakers, increase DOT token demand, and make Talisman more sustainable.
- There are video explainers and a detailed proposal available for more information.

Rejected

Talisman requests a bounty for ongoing development and marketing activities on a commission basis for tangible results. The proposal implements Incentive Pools, with less than 15% guaranteed as payment and the rest as a potential commission during the 7-month duration. The Genesis Incentive Pool will provide a commission for acquiring new stakers, generate more demand for the DOT token than it costs, and accelerate Talisman's transition towards sustainability. The proposal can be found at https://talismanwallet.notion.site/Bounty-The-Genesis-Incentive-Pool-356dff7ca1f2488e9134f7c2aab15f14?pvs=4.

### Proposal Summary

- **Proponent:** Composable Finance
- **Date:** August 9, 2023
- **Requested Allocation:** 194,779.899 DOT (approx. $1 million) as an indefinite loan, initially for 1 year.
- **Purpose:** To increase DOT's presence in cross-chain DeFi by providing liquidity to Cosmos ecosystem DEXs like Osmosis and Astroport.
- **Background:** Composable has developed a tech stack for cross-chain infrastructure, including Picasso (Kusama Parachain), Pablo DEX, Centauri bridge, and XCVM.
- **Objectives:**
  - Encourage cross-chain adoption of DOT.
  - Integrate DOT with Cosmos applications beyond DEXs.
  - Promote Polkadot visibility by acquiring new DOT holders.
- **Benefits:**
  - Increase DOT visibility and usage in Cosmos.
  - Onboard new DOT holders and users.
  - Strengthen cross-chain DeFi relationships between Polkadot and Cosmos.
- **Implementation:** Funds will be transferred via multisig addresses across Polkadot, Composable, Picasso, and Osmosis chains.

Composable proposes to allocate 194,779.899 DOT (approx. $1m) as an indefinite loan to provide liquidity to Osmosis and Astroport DEX platforms within the Cosmos ecosystem. The goal is to encourage cross-chain adoption of DOT, extend DOT accessibility, promote Polkadot visibility, and integrate DOT with Cosmos applications. The loan will initially last over the duration of 1 year and re-evaluated on a 6-month basis thereafter. The proposal outlines explicit instructions for the movement and deployment of DOT received from the Polkadot Treasury, and the expected ROI on swap fee + incentives will outpace losses due to impermanent loss. The goal is to achieve $50,000 of average daily trading volume within the first 3 months and acquire 1,000 new DOT holders within the first 6 months of loan deployment.
