Dear community,

I am asking for your help to fund an account that does good things with 1000 DOT. This account is used for:

1. Giving rewards to people who help with something called "staking" for validators.
2. Giving back money to people who make decisions on Polkadot and Collective chains.

The account was given money 8 months ago, and I have been using my own money to keep it going. Now, there are more people doing these things, and it's getting hard to pay for everything.

Remember, this account only sends money for important things and most of the money goes back to the big money box called "treasury."

Thank you,
Will | Paradox | ParaNodes

Apillon is a leading Web3 development platform for Polkadot. They have proposed a new project called Milestone 3, which aims to improve the platform and make it more user-friendly. The project will take 8 months and needs 809,600 USDT. Here are some of the things they plan to do:

1. Add new services like POP Network, KWIL, CESS, and Prosopo.
2. Improve existing features like embedded wallets, IPNS, NFT Wizard, and Unique Network's token-creation functionalities.
3. Make templates for Polkadot projects to make them more visible.
4. Do a security audit after reaching a certain point in the project.

The goal of Milestone 3 is to make Web3 technology easier to use for developers and businesses. They want to make Polkadot parachains and Apillon's tools more accessible and useful. By doing this, they hope to help the Polkadot ecosystem grow and attract more users.

Apillon Milestone 3 Proposal: Core Integrations and Service Enhancements for Polkadot Ecosystem Growth

KodaDot is a leading NFT marketplace on Polkadot Asset Hub that has successfully delivered over 40 generative art drops and processed nearly 9,000 NFT mints. They are seeking long-term maintenance funding to sustain their public infrastructure and expand their services.

They propose three major developments: atomic swaps, an offers system, and infrastructure enhancement. The $280,000 budget is divided into five milestones, with clear deliverables and success metrics. This funding will help KodaDot continue to serve as a public good for the Polkadot ecosystem, maintaining and expanding essential NFT infrastructure that benefits the entire community.

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.

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.

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.
