Ambassador Fellowship Tooling: Personal Reimbursement Request

Hello! I went to a big conference about blockchain technology at the University of Miami. I talked about something called tokenization and represented Polkadot. I didn't get paid for my time, so I'm asking the community if they think I should be. I usually charge $100 per hour for my work. I spent 5 hours on a campus tour, 8 hours at the conference, and half a day on Saturday. I'm asking for $1500 for my time. Thank you!

Gerard Murphy was a member of the OpCom team from January 20 to February 19, 2025, working on the Ambassador Fellowship until May 3, 2025. He requests a one-month payment of $50 per hour for 40 hours per week. Gerard produced several documents, including the Fellowship Onboarding & Orientation Framework V1.0, Rewards and Recognition Framework, Resources Repository, and guides to Fellowship Verticals, Ranking System, and Promotion Process. He also created a Notion platform with public and private workspaces, uploaded resources, and maintained the platform. Gerard made videos on using the Notion platform and coordinated with Distractive on updating the Polkadot.com ambassador landing page. He also developed a guide for setting up and securing funding for meetups or pop-ups and produced a social media plan for Miami Mega Week.

During the first funded phase of the Ambassador Fellowship, the team achieved success, but due to several Board members resigning, the remaining funds were returned to the treasury, and the promised payments were not made. The Ambassador Fellowship is now preparing a proposal for further funding, with Cohort Two being seeded and a waitlist for Cohort Three forming.

Ambassador Fellowship: Sprint Team Tip Request - Gerard Murphy

The Ambassador Fellowship had a successful first phase, even with challenges. The team did a great job and finished their work on time. They were supposed to get a payment, but some board members left, and the money was returned to the treasury instead. Now, the Ambassador Fellowship is still going and needs more funding. The person in charge thinks it's fair to ask for the team's payment again. You can find more information about the team and their work in the links provided. Thank you for supporting the Ambassador Fellowship.

RegionX Hub – New Features & Improvements

The Big Tipper project is an extension of rfp.fund, which was funded for Kusama with KSM RFP #2. The project aims to unlock multi-sig RFPs for Polkadot, enable bounty curators to associate Child Bounties with RFPs, and deploy an "RFP Board" to consolidate ecosystem RFPs across Kusama/Polkadot Treasuries and Kusama/Polkadot Child Bounties created through the app. The project has a budget of $5,000 for development, $3,000 for UI, $1,000 for supervisors, and $500 for contingency. Supervisors include Leemo and Jay Chrawnna. Excess or unused funds will be returned to the treasury by the supervisors. The timeline includes submission on Big Tipper Track on June 8, development beginning on June 15, UI work starting on July 8, and public launch on AAG on July 16. The project has three milestones: Polkadot Multi-sig RFPs, Child Bounty RFPs, and UI & Mainnet Deployment. The project also discusses the differences between multi-sig RFPs and Bounty RFPs for Polkadot and supports a new Bounty Pallet with multi-asset and cross-chain capabilities.

The Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) is a bridge between the Polkadot network's on-chain governance and real-world actions. It helps DOT holders influence off-chain activities. In its first year, the PCF worked on projects to grow the Polkadot ecosystem and market outreach. Now, it asks for more funding to continue its work.

The PCF has goals for its second year, like appointing two DOT directors and creating a transparent information hub. It wants to expand leadership and community engagement. The PCF also needs money for legal and insurance costs.

If the proposal is not approved, the PCF will have to wind down its operations, which could cause disruptions to ongoing projects and the need to find new ways to manage off-chain activities.

In conclusion, the PCF wants to continue helping the Polkadot ecosystem grow by connecting on-chain governance with real-world actions. Approving more funding will allow the PCF to keep doing this important work.

Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) - Proposal for Renewed Funding for One Year

dAppForge is a project that aims to help developers build better decentralized applications (dApps), appchains, and parachains on the Polkadot network. They have completed three out of four milestones for their dAppForge V1.0. Here are the main points of their fourth and final milestone:

1. Improve the knowledge graphs for Solidity and Substrate, with a focus on Solidity and Foundry integration.
2. Integrate Polkadot Hub (AssetHub) documentation to help developers deploy Solidity smart contracts on AssetHub.
3. Benchmark Solidity performance using SolEval and compare it with other AI models.
4. Develop an API to allow developers to use the AI outside the plugin environment, like in bots for Discord/Telegram.

dAppForge's goal is to make it easier for developers to build on Polkadot and attract new developers to the ecosystem. They have a VS Code plugin that supports code generation and autocompletion for Solidity, Substrate, ink!, and Rust. This plugin helps developers understand the code better and build faster.

Marketing Bounty Refill May 2025

The Gitorial VS Code Extension is a new tool that helps developers learn and build projects using step-by-step tutorials directly within Visual Studio Code. It was created to solve the problem of disjointed learning experiences in fast-paced ecosystems like Polkadot. The extension is integrated with Git, making it easy to follow each step and maintain accurate information. It also helps developers be more productive by giving them immediate access to language servers and code execution within the IDE.

The Gitorial VS Code Extension was built in collaboration with Shawn Tabrizi and Batman from DotCodeSchool. They are working on integrating the extension with their platform and planning future updates, like creating and editing tutorials directly in VS Code.

The proposal asks for funding to cover the initial development and launch of the extension, as well as minor improvements and bug fixes. The total cost is 1660 DOT, which is about $7,470. The money will be split between two proponents, with one receiving 1560 DOT and the other receiving 100 DOT. The hourly rate for the work is $90/hr, and the total time spent on the project is 83 hours.

You can try out the Gitorial VS Code Extension and explore the spec draft using the links provided. The creators, Andrey Dodonov and Andrzej Sulkowski, are graduates of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy.
