Retroactive Tip For Solo Content Creation-3

In 2025, Polkadot is focusing on launching a new EVM-compatible smart contract platform called Polkadot Hub and evolving Polkadot Cloud. OpenZeppelin, which completed four OpenGov proposals in 2024, is working with Parity to support the launch of Polkadot Hub and continue supporting Polkadot Cloud. OpenZeppelin has experience in developer enablement, especially targeting native Solidity developers and DeFi protocols for Polkadot Hub. They have a strong presence in the ecosystem, with $20 trillion USD of value transferred across their contracts, a 19% market share of all transactions on all chains, and 100% penetration across top 50 DeFi protocols. OpenZeppelin is also involved in cross-ecosystem initiatives like interop, privacy/ZK, and standards creation. They are working with Parity following the completion of the last treasury proposal, marking the beginning of their official working relationship.

Polkadot-API is a set of libraries that helps make decentralized applications. They want to make it easier for developers to create these apps. They have added new features and libraries to make it better. They are asking for money from the Polkadot Community Foundation to keep working on it from February 2025 to December 2025. They have a plan for how they will use the money and have shared it in a Google Doc. If they get the money, they will sign a contract, do some checks, and then get paid. They have set aside some money for the Polkadot Community Foundation's costs, and they will give back any extra money to the Polkadot Treasury. The Polkadot-API team thanks everyone for their support.

Subsquid Lab is asking for money to keep their public SQD Archives running. These archives help people find information on the Polkadot and Kusama networks. They want $264,838.09 to cover their costs. Here's what they did in the past few months:

1. They helped make the SQD Archives better by adding more storage and making it faster.
2. They launched the SQD mainnet, which helps make the Polkadot network more secure and faster.
3. They made it easier for developers to use their tools by adding new features to the Squid SDK.
4. They improved their Cloud API to help developers build better apps.

In the second quarter of 2024, they provided a lot of data and helped many people in the Polkadot community. They need money to keep doing this work.

- LimeChain is now in charge of GiantSquid, a tool that helps find data in the Polkadot system.
- They created a report about their work and talked to users to gather feedback.
- Based on this feedback, they have a new plan called "Phase 2 for Giant Squid."
- Phase 2 includes new features like making it easier to find cross-chain transfers and track staking and voting.
- They will also make a new table to show all account events at once, which will be easier to use.
- They are asking for **169,520 USDC** to help pay for the new features and other costs.
- Feedback from the community is very welcome, and they hope to turn it into a treasury proposal.

- A group called Bifrost and Hyperbridge is asking for 795,000 DOT.
- They want to help make it easier for people to use DOT in different places.
- They noticed that not many people or money can get into Polkadot, which slows down its growth.
- Their plan is to give rewards for providing DOT liquidity in other networks like Arbitrum and Ethereum.
- The aim is to make DOT more popular and used widely in the web3 space.
- This will help developers and users join the Polkadot ecosystem better.
- The idea started as a group project but had to be split into smaller parts.

Polkadot DeFi Singularity

The OG Rust Bounty Referendum proposes five curators for a project initiated by Ref #1377. These curators are Valery Gantchev, Jakub Panik, Bastian Köcher, Donal Murray, and 0xTaylor. They will be responsible for managing the project and are expected to work at least 0.2 full-time equivalent hours per month. In return, they will receive a monthly payment of $3000 in DOT. Fellowship members can choose to do this work as part of their duties, in which case they will not receive full payment. For more details, see the original proposal.

Peer3 is creating an open-source Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows users to execute smart contracts directly with each other, bypassing the need for blockchain interaction. This project aims to improve the user experience of Polkadot by providing a real-time execution environment without transaction fees. The SDK enables real-time interactions, seamless interactions, and security from distributed ledgers. Peer3 has successfully delivered all milestones for a Level 3 Grant from the Web3 Foundation and is now seeking treasury funding for a production version of the SDK. The proposal includes a delayed payment of 350k USDT upfront and a delayed payment of 250k USDT and 30k DOT after 6 months. The funds will be used to hire more talent and cover operational costs. The project has potential use cases in gaming, payments, consumer applications, supply chain management, data marketplaces, social apps, and decentralized finance.

- A bounty started on December 15, 2024, to help with technical solutions for business development.
- After 10 months, there was almost no activity, and only 1 child bounty was granted.
- People said the bounty could be useful, but no one took action to use it.
- The bounty was extended twice, but no new activity happened.
- Some teams found their own solutions without needing the bounty.
- Saxemberg supports closing the bounty because it hasn’t been used.
- No new solutions or changes were proposed during the discussion.
- The bounty will likely stay inactive, so closing it is the best option.

The Gray Paper Reader is a tool that helps people work with the Gray Paper for JAM, the next generation of Polkadot Cloud. It makes sharing, annotating, and tracking changes in the document easier. The tool is open-source and already used by the community. FluffyLabs.dev, the creator of the tool, is asking for support to keep improving it.

The Gray Paper is important because it explains JAM in detail, but it's not easy to read and understand. There are over 20 teams working on JAM, and they all need to read the Gray Paper. The Gray Paper changes over time, and it's hard to keep track of these changes.

The Gray Paper Reader solves some problems with the PDF version of the Gray Paper. It's hard to share a part of the document, and notes can get lost when the document is updated. The Gray Paper Reader has features like an archive of different versions, easy switching between versions, and sharing short links to specific parts of the document.

The Gray Paper Reader is already being used a lot in the official chat room for the Gray Paper. The team behind it, FluffyLabs.dev, is asking for $21,000 to keep improving the tool. They have a plan for what they want to do in the future, and you can read more about it in their full proposal.

Brave, a privacy-focused browser, plans to integrate Polkadot functionality into its self-custody wallet, giving its over 80 million monthly active users access to the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. This integration will be done natively in Brave's core C++ architecture over 12 months, with a 24-month maintenance period for updates and optimizations. The total investment for this project is $3,000,000 USDC. The development will be divided into five milestones, covering research, relay chains support, network and parachains support, assets support, and ecosystem integration and deployment. Brave will open-source all Polkadot-related code and commit to a 24-month maintenance period. Additionally, Brave will provide a $100K ad credit to Polkadot upon proposal approval. This integration aims to make Brave Wallet a true multi-chain platform and a gateway to Web3, enabling cross-parachain transactions and dApp interactions without third-party extensions.
