Polkadot Legal Bounty

NaviDOT is a Christmas-themed campaign by Polkadot Peru that aims to promote creativity, increase Polkadot's visibility on social media, and bring the community together. The contest invites participants to create original content related to Christmas using Polkadot products and post it on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok with the hashtag #NaviDOT. Participants must also comment on the NaviDOT proposal on OpenGov with a Christmas message and a link to their post. There will be 9 winners in total, with 3 winners for each social network, each receiving 3 DOT as a prize. Verified accounts on OpenGov and those who have voted on proposals in OpenGov during the year will receive extra points. The campaign is subject to the approval of the proposal.

- It is similar to another tool called Polkadot-js and allows developers to work with Polkadot and Kusama chains easily.
- This proposal is part of ongoing efforts to get funding for maintenance.
- The group is asking for $33,200 for the project.
- More information can be found in the full proposal linked in the content.

Maintenance for the substrate-api-client Jan-25 to Jun-25

A problem occurred with a proposal called Ref. 1303, where a Relay Chain Proxy was set to receive AssetHub assets, making them inaccessible. To fix this, a new proposal is needed. The original proposal can be found [here](1303). The preimage was pulled before the confirmation period ended, and you can verify it [here](https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic/0xec8ca6dbcfee1b25201b9e95b61e6eb890f7eee9d4f21aee060da7005d79c42c). Waiting for Pure Proxy Replication to solve this issue is not ideal, as it will take many months. Submitting a Root Ref to replicate the proxy was also considered, but it would take too long and tie up resources. Voting on this new proposal will help fix the payout issue approved in Ref. 1303.

Ratify Payout APPROVED by Ref. 1303 - The Kus

This proposal is asking for money to pay for work done to help the Polkadot ecosystem from July 1 to November 1, 2024. The person did many things like talking to new teams, helping with events, and making a handbook for Polkadot. They want to be paid $45,000 for working about 25 hours each week during that time. They have done a lot of work to help Polkadot grow and hope that the people in charge see how important their work is. Some of the main things they did include making the Polkadot Handbook, talking to teams that left Polkadot, and helping with business development and community activities.

Retroactive Funding for Ecosystem Activities

This proposal aims to create a collaborative strategy for Africa to increase awareness, adoption, and growth of Polkadot, a blockchain platform. The plan involves building a supportive community of agents representing Polkadot in Africa, with a focus on developers and content creators. The strategy includes educational sessions, community engagement, ecosystem representation, developer outreach, and encouraging the building of Polkadot native apps and integrations. The plan is divided into four phases: icebreaker events, Rust community activations, developer workshops, and community meetups. The team behind the proposal includes Bekka, Kratista0s, Sanchez, and Victor, who are also responsible for the Polkadot Africa X account. The requested amount for the project is $92,880, with the duration set from January to June 2025. The initiative will primarily focus on Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Uganda, with a goal to eventually reach out to North and South African regions as well.

dAppForge is an AI-powered plugin designed to help Polkadot developers build decentralized applications, appchains, and parachains more efficiently. The project has completed two of its four milestones, with the aim of reducing development time and making it easier for new developers to join the Polkadot ecosystem.

**Summary of Important Points:**
- A previous treasury proposal was submitted and completed.
- Milestone 2 of dAppForge V1 is now completed, with videos demonstrating the plugin's capabilities.
- The plugin is available on GitHub and can be used for code generation and autocompletion for substrate and ink!.
- The plugin provides insights into the code generated, helping developers understand substrate/ink! better and build faster.
- Two of the four milestones have been completed, with the remaining two focusing on fine-tuning the AI model, integrating Solidity, developing a monetization strategy, and creating a knowledge graph for Rust programming language.

**Overview:**
- Tagline: AI-powered plugin for Polkadot developers that reduces development time.
- Brief description: dAppForge aims to enable Polkadot developers to build better dApps, appchains, and parachains faster, lowering the entry barriers for new developers. The AI model is trained on Substrate and ink! and can be used for code generation and autocompletion.
- Motivation: Substrate and ink! can build great parachains, appchains, and dApps, attracting millions of users, which is crucial for the blockchain industry. dAppForge aims to empower existing developers and make it easier for new developers to join and build on Polkadot, including those familiar with Solidity.

dAppForge Milestone 3 

The Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM) Debugger is a new tool designed to help developers work with PVM implementations. It has features like breakpoints, memory inspection, and can run programs on multiple PVM clients at the same time. This tool was made because there were no good tools for debugging PVM programs before. It can help find mistakes and make sure PVM programs work the same way on different clients.

The team who made the PVM Debugger, FluffyLabs.dev, is asking for money to help them keep working on the tool. They want to make it better and add more features. The PVM Debugger is already done and can be used by anyone for free. It is on a website called GitHub, where people can see the code and help improve it.

The team has a plan to make sure people use the PVM Debugger and give them feedback. They will talk to people on the internet and make changes to the tool based on what people say. They want to make sure the PVM Debugger stays helpful as Polkadot changes and grows.

Treasury Proposal: Retroactive Funding for PVM Debugger

The ink!ubator 2.0 proposal aims to continue innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem through projects utilizing ink! smart contracts. The proposal includes a focus on ecosystem grants, mentorship, and guidance for high-potential projects. The plan is to incubate around 10+ projects, each receiving a grant of $50,000 - $60,000. The proposal also includes a new curator selection process and aims to improve transparency with more frequent reports and detailed feedback on GitHub. The requested support from the Polkadot Treasury is between $600,000 - $1,000,000 USD to deliver impactful projects, empower developers, and strengthen Polkadot's position as a leader in blockchain innovation. The future goals of ink!ubator 2.0 include expanding the reach of ink!, fostering the development of decentralized solutions, and contributing to Web3 and blockchain technology globally.

Ink!ubator 2.0 – Change of curators for bounty #19

Gm Polkadot is requesting a joint tip of 9910 DOT for DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden for their work on The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months. They were involved as Head Ambassadors and worked on collecting, coordinating, and editing the Ambassador Fellowship manifesto, which led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. They are asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs each, which they believe is a fair compromise between their expectations and the work they delivered. Their work can be checked through their reports and the Project Phoenix timeline, Polkadot Ambassador fellowship manifesto, Phragmen Initiatives Fund, and Proposals 1267 and 1287.
