RegionX parachain is a trustless marketplace for Coretime on Polkadot. It aims to help teams benefit from its features and delegate governance and revenue to DOT holders. The proposal seeks funding for deployment on Kusama and improving the Coretime Hub user interface. Polkadot is a scalable platform for hosting rollups, and attracting new teams is important. The marketplace is needed for secondary Coretime purchases, immediate use, and scaling on the go. RegionX parachain will use DOT as its native token for governance and fees, but it will not be a system chain to avoid burdening the Polkadot Fellowship.

Polkadot Experience Beta — Arequipa was a 2-day workshop for developers in Arequipa, Peru. The event focused on teaching participants about the Polkadot ecosystem and blockchain technology. Here are the main points:

1. The workshop was self-funded and did not receive any treasury or bounty funds.
2. Arequipa is an important city for software development in Peru and is known in Silicon Valley for its Techsuyo conference.
3. The workshop covered topics like cryptography, blockchain evolution, decentralized applications, smart contracts, and Rust programming.
4. Participants learned to create interactive logic using Rust and build fully functional blockchains with the Polkadot SDK.
5. The event had great results, including massive participation and inclusion of participants in official Polkadot channels.
6. In June, a hackathon in Lima, Peru, had two teams from Arequipa win first and third place in the smart contracts category using Rust.

A proposal has been made to give more money to help the people called "collators" on Polkadot's System Parachains. Collators are important because they help keep the network safe, fair, and fast. They need more money to keep doing their job well as the network grows bigger. The proposal asks for 21,504.94 DOT to help with this. You can find more information about the proposal in a Google Document and in earlier proposals. This proposal is a way to say thank you to the collators for their hard work.

This proposal aims to bring 1 million user wallets to the Polkadot network through ongoing user funnels at strategic Billfold venues. It funds the production of four Bash events in the first half of the year and the placement of Billfold PoS in strategic venues, generating at least 1 million wallets and transactions in 2025. The Polkadot community has trusted PMEI to bring Billfold into the ecosystem, and now they want to drive as much usage to Polkadot as possible through existing and new Billfold users. Every new event attendee at a Billfold venue will get a new Polkadot wallet and be encouraged to transact on the network. PMEI is focused on creating self-sustaining user funnels through new venue partnerships, driving usage to the network through loyalty engagement and facilitating payments. They are not charging an agency fee on this proposal, only covering hard costs.

Nova Wallet has proposed its 6th plan to add new features like in-app swaps, a seamless DApp browser, an upgraded portfolio view, SwipeGov with AI summaries, and support for a new Polkadot Ledger app. They also want to make governance improvements and runtime updates. Nova Wallet is a popular and secure app for the Polkadot ecosystem, with many users and staking options. This proposal is retroactive, meaning they will work on these features and then ask for funding after they are completed. The goal is to keep improving the app and maintain a high-quality, open-source, and community-focused mobile application. You can read the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10x9cYyNMV92Ol58Eped-fFNRUniRjTUfU2lEGyIqtyc).

Talisman is proposing to create a mobile wallet for both iOS and Android devices, aiming to enhance the user experience and make their web3 journey seamless. The wallet will be compatible with the existing Talisman browser extension wallet and Portal web application. The project requires $598,100 in funding and is planned to be developed from March 2025 to September 2025.

Key features of the Talisman mobile wallet include portfolio management, wallet connect, one-click stake, cross-chain swap and transfers, biometric authentication, and buy/sell crypto options. Unique features will also be added, such as account synchronization across devices, AI-powered trading, backup to cloud, and referral rewards.

The mobile wallet is expected to benefit the Polkadot ecosystem by increasing competition, boosting user engagement, and expanding revenue opportunities. Community support for the mobile wallet has been positive, with many users requesting a mobile app.

Talisman's mission is to design for the user, advocate for the user, and build for the user in the Polkadot ecosystem. They have achieved significant traction, with over 140,000 active installs, 19,000 active users, and users in 189 countries. The Talisman mobile wallet aims to continue this growth and bring new users to the Polkadot ecosystem.

The Ideal Network (IDN) is a randomness infrastructure for Polkadot's ecosystem. The team, formed during the Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Buenos Aires, includes Juan Girini, Tony Riemer, Carlos Montoya, and Coleman Irby. They are requesting 300,250 USDC over three months to deliver a trustless Drand Bridge, cross-chain randomness delivery infrastructure, a security audit by SRLabs, and network deployment and maintenance.

Polkadot's ecosystem lacks a reliable method for generating frequent, high-quality random values, which is critical for creating fair and secure decentralized applications. The Ideal Network will unlock publicly verifiable randomness for Polkadot's World Computer, introducing a game-changing infrastructure that solves critical blockchain challenges. They are building a trustless bridge to the Drand distributed randomness beacon, enabling a standardized randomness layer that delivers secure, verifiable randomness at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions like Chainlink VRF.

The Ideal Network enables use cases across multiple domains, including secure network consensus and governance, fair DeFi mechanisms, provably random gaming experiences, unbiased and dealer-free gambling, transparent NFT generation, and front-running-resistant transaction pools. Beyond randomness, IDN introduces timelock encryption, a cryptographic mechanism that allows messages to be securely encrypted and revealed only at specific future blocks.

The work done is supported through collaborations with Web3 Foundation, NIST, and the University of Colorado. Several projects have expressed interest in integration, including Asset Hub, Bittensor, ChainSafe, and PolkaStorage.

- A problem happened with AssetHub assets that were supposed to go to a Relay Chain Proxy, making them unavailable.
- A preimage was pulled just before the confirmation period ended to fix this issue.
- You can check that the preimage was pulled through a specific link.
- Pure Proxy Replication is a future solution, but it’s unclear when it will be available.
- Waiting for this solution could mean the assets remain useless for a long time.
- They decided not to submit a main reference for a temporary fix because it could take a long time.
- Your vote can help fix the payout problem more quickly.

Dear Polkadot friends,

I am happy to share that my friends at Modern Market, BCheque, and Legendary are showcasing parts of the Polkadot ecosystem through a limited sponsorship. I tried to get them a 6-month headline sponsorship, but it didn't happen. Now, I help bring Polkadot people to their interviews and support them.

I think I deserve a small finder's fee for introducing this talented team to the ecosystem. The Marketing Bounty people said my introduction made their vetting easy. I asked for a 5% commission, but I was not included in the process. I am asking for a small tip, which is more than reasonable. Thank you for your support!

Best,
Ryan / Phunky

This proposal is about creating a special group called "OG Rust Bounties" to give 250,000 DOT to encourage Rust engineers to do important tasks related to the Polkadot network. These tasks could be requested by OpenGov or other trusted groups. The group will have five people called "curators" who know a lot about Substrate and are active in the Polkadot community. They will choose who gets to do the tasks based on how well they explain their plan, their past work, and how long it will take them to finish. The curators will also make sure everyone knows what is happening by writing reports every three months. Some of the curators will get paid with DOT for their work.
