Infrastructure Funding for Polkadot Asset Hub #3 - Atomic swaps, Offers, Maintenance

Polkadot's social media management is decentralized, with contributions from ET90266, the Polkadot Social Media Editorial Board (EB), and Distractive. The EB has five members, and there is a proposal to fund their salary for a 6-month term. Each member would receive 2,500 USDT per month. The Web3 Foundation legally owns Polkadot's social media accounts and has entrusted ET90266 to manage them. The EB works with ET90266 and Distractive for content creation and brand alignment. The first EB had impressive growth in reach and engagement. The second EB was selected through an application and interview process, and its members have backgrounds in business development, content creation, social media, copywriting, marketing, and other Web3 areas. They aim to increase Polkadot's social media engagement and reach. The funds will be paid to a 4/6 multisig controlled by the 5 members and ET90266, and distributed in 3 tranches over 6 months. ET90266 will not be compensated from this proposal.

Continued Management of Polkadot’s 𝕏 Account

A small spender request of 32,500 USDT has been made for a documentary on blockchain gaming, focusing on Polkadot's ecosystem. The goal is to educate non-crypto-native game developers about the benefits and challenges of blockchain gaming. The documentary is already completed and has been self-funded, including international flights, hotels, and other expenses. It targets gaming developers who are curious about blockchain but skeptical. The documentary is honest and accessible, featuring interviews with Polkadot native teams and other participants. If approved, the documentary will be promoted by Polkadot distribution partners such as Dot Play, Kusamarian, and Distractive. The documentary aims to provide objective information to indie developers as they begin their research on blockchain, helping them onboard to Polkadot without negative bias.

Publishing and promoting the documentary, “Blockchain Gaming,” by the Polkadot community.

Dotmemo is a decentralized platform on Polkadot Asset Hub that lets people create digital memories of events. These memories, called POAPs, are like special tokens that show you were part of an event. Before Dotmemo, there wasn't an easy way to make these tokens on Polkadot without using other services.

The people who made Dotmemo want to get money to keep making it better. They have four main parts to their plan:
1. An Indexer to track POAP activities.
2. A Backend to manage POAP logistics.
3. A Frontend with a landing page and pages to claim and create POAPs.
4. Maintenance to keep the app running and add new features.

They are asking for $42,000 to do this. They have already made over 3,000 POAPs, helped more than 10 events, and had over 3,000 users. They have also worked with big events and universities in the Polkadot world.

Mandala Chain is a blockchain network built on Polkadot that aims to integrate government and enterprise applications with public and retail services. The project focuses on Indonesia, where it has formed strategic partnerships and resources to create a strong foundation for expansion into broader markets. Mandala Chain has been working on real-world blockchain applications such as digital identity, banking, IP protection, SmartGov, and tokenized assets, with the goal of onboarding the next 100 million users with Polkadot.

The project has participated in major industry events like the Bali Blockchain Summit and Coinfest Asia 2024, showcasing Mandala Chain and Polkadot to a wide audience, including government officials and industry leaders. Mandala Chain is now seeking to scale development capacity to meet the urgent demand for use cases already in the pipeline, with the aim of onboarding millions of users to Polkadot from Indonesia and beyond.

The project's goals include facilitating massive adoption by onboarding large populations through real-world use cases and government/enterprise partnerships. Mandala Chain is working on a portfolio of real-world use cases, onboarding new non-crypto users who will be accessing essential on-chain services, and is on track to bring millions of users into the Polkadot ecosystem.

The requested budget of $763,000 will contribute to the incubation section of Mandala Chain's four-step framework to facilitate massive active user adoption through real-world use cases. The funds will be used for development, testing, user experience refinement, and public showcasing events.

Supporting Mandala Chain through this treasury proposal will enable the Polkadot ecosystem to gain new active users, growth in on-chain activity, and increased liquidity, as mainstream Web2 users are brought into the Web3 space. This will help Polkadot expand into new regions and industries, starting with Indonesia, and solidify its leadership in the Web3 space.

Mandala Chain requests 763,000 USDT for the urgent delivery of 4 government use cases to onboard millions onto Polkadot. The proposal aims to drive significant user adoption into the Polkadot ecosystem, opening the door for real-world use cases and accelerating Polkadot's growth across emerging markets. The timeframe is nine months, and the budget covers all costs for development, testing, user experience refinement, and public showcasing events. The proposal is critical to establish Polkadot as a global leader in the Web3 space and capture the next wave of users.

Hello there! I am a Polkadot agent named Saimon. I organized a Polkadot event in Barcelona, Spain, and I did a lot of work for it. I spent money on drinks, snacks, and pizza for the event, which cost me 187.25 euros. I wasn't paid for this work, so I am asking for a tip to make up for it. 

The event was important because it was for big bosses of companies like NTT DATA, and we talked about how Polkadot can help their businesses. I was in charge of many things, like organizing the event, inviting people, and even explaining some things about Polkadot. 

Here is a summary of what happened at the event:
1. People came and registered.
2. I talked about Polkadot Enterprise Solutions.
3. NTT DATA directors talked about their Web3 Experience.
4. Representatives from Web3 Foundation, Kilt protocol, and Tanssi Network talked about Polkadot Projects.
5. Everyone networked and ate pizza.

I think this event was a big step in helping Polkadot technology reach many more people and businesses. I am asking for 250 DOT as a tip, which is the same as the Business Development bounty for Spain and Andorra.
