- Having multiple ways to run Polkadot allows for faster improvements and a bigger community of developers.
- The team is experienced and has been working together for 3-4 years, ensuring high-quality work.
- KAGOME is already helping secure networks like Kusama and Westend.
- This proposal seeks funding for key features like Asynchronous backing and security audits.
- The team hopes to adjust the proposal and complete it faster and at a lower cost than before.

Executed

Quadrivium seeks funding for the development and security audit of KAGOME, a C++ Polkadot Host implementation, to increase client diversity in the ecosystem. The proposal includes implementing BEEFY, Async backing, and WasmEdge integration, as well as general maintenance and minor improvements. The requested DOT is 168432, and the proposal duration is 4 months. SRLabs will conduct the security audit, and Quadrivium will handle DevOps and QA.

Apillon has submitted a new proposal for Polkadot Treasury funding to support the development of their Web3 platform. The platform aims to switch to a growth-oriented SaaS model with various subscription options and free access. They also plan to give back to the community through a Web3 Adoption Bounty to support new builders on Polkadot. 

In less than a year, Apillon has gained 951 developers, 432 active developers, and 523 projects created. They offer services like Web3 Storage, Web3 Hosting, and NFTs. Voting "Aye" for Apillon supports their goal to provide services to Web3 developers, open-source their code, and fund projects on their platform. Apillon also promotes ecosystem partners and uses DOT-based tokens for growth. They offer a freemium model to make Web3 more accessible.

WHO: Apillon platform

WHAT: Filed a revised proposal for Polkadot Treasury funding to cover the technical development of the Apillon Web3 development platform. They also propose to establish a Web3 Adoption Bounty to support up-and-coming Web3 projects building in Polkadot or on the Apillon platform.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Not specified.

Apillon Platform Milestone 1 Proposal

Polkadot is a cryptocurrency with great features like decentralized governance, low fees, scalability, and interoperability. AIRDROP.COM wants to help people learn about Polkadot by:

1. Making a fun quiz and cool pictures.
2. Making a high-quality video about Polkadot.
3. Buying space on websites and newsletters to show these things.
4. Giving away some DOT tokens.
5. Checking who gets the tokens to make sure people don't take more than one.
6. Helping users if they have questions.

They want to get 61,000 new people to use DOT tokens. They will spend money on making a great video and showing it on big websites like CoinGecko and Etherscan. They will use a company called IDanalyser to check who gets the tokens. The video is important because it will help people understand how cool Polkadot is.

AIRDROP.COM proposes to promote Polkadot's features through media buying, creation of content, and DOT airdrops. They aim to reach 61,000 new DOT adopters. The proposal requires a budget of $150,000 and will be implemented over a period of 2 months. They will use IDanalyser for KYC and major platforms like coingecko and etherscan for media buying.

- Talisman wants money to help with development and marketing.
- They say they have made more money than they spent (over 8 times more).
- They want most money to be based on how well they do, not just for working on tasks.
- This plan is called **Incentive Pools**.
- Incentive Pools will help Talisman earn money by getting more people to use their services.
- Only 15% of the money is guaranteed; the rest depends on results over 7 months.
- They believe this will make Talisman better for everyone using the Polkadot network.

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.

KAGOME is a C++ implementation of the Polkadot Host that works with the Relay chain validators and syncing nodes. It helps make Polkadot safer by having different client implementations. The team has done work with the help of a grant and has added features like Parachains protocol integration and support for fast and warp synchronizations. They also made KAGOME better by improving its performance and adding new features.

Now, the team has a new plan to make KAGOME even better for Polkadot's upcoming features. They will work on improving RPC and WASM performance and conduct a security audit to make node operators trust KAGOME more. The work will be done by Quadrivium, Soramitsu, and SRLabs, with help from the Web3 Foundation.

The new plan includes optimizing Merkle storage, improving RPC, adding new features like asynchronous backing and SASSAFRAS, and doing a security audit. The team has asked for 253,862 DOT to complete this plan. You can read the full proposal with more details and prices here: [link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ZmueuaMjXY3_SRBHxWtKNHzpLNtSd_KGVfeTII6Nbc/edit?usp=sharing).

Composable has proposed a plan to expand the use of DOT, the native token of the Polkadot network, in cross-chain decentralized finance (DeFi). They want to loan 194,779.899 DOT (about $1 million) to supply liquidity to leading decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms in the Cosmos ecosystem, like Osmosis and Astroport. The main goals are to increase DOT's adoption, make it more accessible, and attract new DOT holders. They also plan to use their cross-chain bridge, Centauri, to move DOT outside of its native network and create more opportunities for DOT in other platforms and users. Composable will promote this proposal through various marketing channels and expects to onboard 10,000 new DOT holders within the Cosmos ecosystem. They believe the potential returns from providing liquidity will offset any losses due to impermanent loss in the liquidity pool. The DOT will be handled by multisig addresses across different chains for security during cross-chain transfers.

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.

Wasm Smart Contracts Bounty #19

This project aims to create a new metadata protocol for offline devices and implement it in important tools like Ledger and Kampela. The project will also develop tools to port the protocol to other wallets and key management devices, including Polkadot Vault. The goal is to improve transaction security and network resilience.

The project is a joint development between Alzymologist Oy and Zondax. The main problems to be solved are the large size of metadata and ensuring its authenticity. The proposed solution includes adding a hash of metadata to signing inputs and reducing the size of transferred metadata.

The project has four milestones:

1. Requirements specifications and metadata review.
2. Offline metadata prototype.
3. Offline metadata specifications.
4. Offline devices implementation.

The total cost of development is €527,200, with an additional 2% for potential price volatility, totaling €537,744, which translates to 110.693,7 DOT. The funds will be deposited into Alzymologist Oy's account, and they will subcontract Zondax AG for 45.5% of the total amount of DOTs to cover their costs.

The project team includes Alzymologist Oy, a multidisciplinary team based in Finland, and Zondax AG, a team with experience in more than 50 blockchains.
