Token Terminal and Parity Data have proposed a plan to integrate Polkadot's ecosystem data into Token Terminal's product suite. This will allow Polkadot data to be shared directly with major partners like Bloomberg, MarketVector, and Coinbase SMA, giving Polkadot more exposure to institutional investors. Here are the main points:

1. Token Terminal will create a data pipeline for Polkadot, which is needed for their partnerships with Bloomberg and MarketVector.
2. This will let Polkadot's data be shared with Bloomberg and make DOT eligible for MarketVector indexes, which will be shown on Coinbase SMA platform.
3. Token Terminal already covers data for 16 other blockchain networks.
4. Parity Data will help with data integration by providing expertise and access to important information.
5. The plan will include data from all active Polkadot parachains and create a unified dataset on Token Terminal's web platform.
6. Polkadot's data will be available on all of Token Terminal's data products and channels, including the Bloomberg Terminal.
7. There will be a research article and podcast episode about Polkadot's data and ecosystem.
8. DOT will be eligible for Token Terminal-powered cryptoasset indexes.
9. The Parity team will have access to Token Terminal's data products to check the integrated data.
10. Parachains will get more exposure to investors and decision-makers through unbiased metrics.
11. The partnership will last for 16 months and cover integration and maintenance.

This integration will help Polkadot be more visible in the global blockchain analytics space and reach a wider audience of investors and decision-makers.

Token Terminal proposes to integrate Polkadot's ecosystem data into its product suite, enabling direct data sharing with major partners such as Bloomberg, MarketVector, and Coinbase SMA. The proposal requests 171,827 DOT for a 16-month integration and maintenance period. The initiative will integrate data across all active Polkadot parachains, establish a parachain price feed, and make Polkadot's data available across all of Token Terminal's data products and channels. Polkadot's native token DOT would become eligible for Token Terminal-powered cryptoasset indexes. The partnership will span 16 months covering integration and maintenance.

The OpenGov Community Voting Discord Bot project did not have enough money and was too hard to make. The person who made it got paid very little money for their work.

A request has been made to refill the marketing bounty number #33 with 250k DOT. The previous refill of 100k was almost spent before the spending period ended, which could have led to no funds for marketing for a month. To avoid such situations, especially with the uncertainty introduced by DV, it is important to have several months' worth of spending in reserve. Bounty #41 will be abandoned, and an amendment will be made to bounty #33 with this specific referendum. The purpose of this bounty is to support marketing for Polkadot without specific rules or restrictions. The only rule is that if a curator is involved in a proposal, they must abstain from voting. All reports regarding expenses and deliveries will be available at the provided link.
