Asset Decentralized Identifier Communication (AssetDIDcomm) is a project that aims to create a secure, encrypted, and decentralized data storage and messaging system for digital assets. It uses DID verifiable credentials to allow digital asset owners to store and retrieve encrypted data and messages throughout the asset's lifetime. The system will use the Kilt Protocol and Crust for digital identity and decentralized storage, respectively.

Xcavate, a foundational protocol built on Polkadot, focuses on tokenizing real estate assets for community investment and decentralized governance. They plan to launch their blockchain through Agile Core Time on Polkadot and have been accepted into the UK's FCA sandbox for regulatory compliance.

Traditionally, tokenizing real-world assets like real estate involves many third parties and can lead to issues such as data breaches, data manipulation, and lack of accountability. AssetDIDcomm aims to solve these problems by providing a decentralized and secure method for data storage and communication related to digital assets.

The project has gathered support and use cases from various members of the Polkadot ecosystem, including Archisinal, Aventus, and Mandala Chain. They believe that AssetDIDcomm can improve data security, transparency, and efficiency in various industries, including planning, construction, and government projects.

The main problems AssetDIDcomm aims to address are centralized storage, security and access, and data manipulation. By providing a decentralized solution, the project hopes to increase investor confidence, improve accountability, and reduce costs associated with data breaches and forensic investigations.

EasyA is excited to announce the next phase of their collaboration with Polkadot, called #360DaysOfPolkadot. After a successful 2024, they plan to upgrade the in-app EasyA Polkadot course to Polkadot 2.0 and host two hackathons at Harvard University and in London. The timeline for this project is from November 2024 to April 2025, with a requested allocation of USD $392,500. The target metrics include 120,000 developers starting the crash course, 100,000 completing it, 600 in-person hackathon attendees, 100 hackathon projects, and over 10 million social media impressions. The proposal is available for review, and feedback from the community has been incorporated into the final proposal.

Milestone 1: EasyA x Polkadot: In-person hackathons and in-app Polkadot 2.0 crash course (#360DaysOfPolkadot)

We had a successful 2024 program and now we are moving to the next step, called Tranche 2. This will help people who learned in our classes and bootcamp to join a big event called the Polkadot Hackathon. There, they can use their new skills to work on cool projects and help make the Polkadot system better.

So far, we had over 350 people join our classes and bootcamp, and they learned a lot. We want to keep this going by having them join the Hackathon.

For Tranche 2, we need some money to help make the Hackathon happen. We are asking for $385,000, which will be given to us in three parts. We already got the first part in July, and we are waiting for the second part in November, and the last part in early 2025.

You can find more information about our plans in these documents:

Subcoin, a Bitcoin full node project, received a grant from Web3 Foundation to create a decentralized Bitcoin fast sync mechanism using the Polkadot SDK framework. However, they faced issues with Substrate's inability to import large states during state sync, leading to Out-of-Memory errors. This problem affects other Substrate-based projects as well. The main issues are:

1. Out-of-Memory issue when importing large states.
2. Lack of persistent state sync support.

To address these problems, a follow-up grant proposal was submitted to Web3 Foundation, but they recommended treasury funding instead. The goal is to improve Substrate's state sync capabilities by resolving the OOM issue and implementing persistent state sync, allowing Substrate-based projects to use advanced sync strategies regardless of chain state size. Some fast sync-related bugs have also been identified and fixed to improve Substrate's sync mechanisms.

Daniel, also known as Polkadot Agent, is an active community member and agent. He works as a lawyer for the Czech Digital and Information Agency, focusing on AI, interoperability, data, EUDIW, and DLT. Daniel is planning to pitch for Czechia's membership in the Europeum-EDIC, a body focused on blockchain use in public services. He aims to introduce Polkadot Cloud and Hub in Czechia.

Daniel is also pursuing a doctorate at University Palackého in Olomouc, researching how Web3 will influence the role of nation-states in the information age. His long-term goal, within two years, is to create an EU-compliant open-source framework for building Polkadot native mobile applications using the Pluto Framework.

He plans to form a DAO called Bohemia Fam, which he has been working on for almost three years on Solana. Daniel aims to use it as a bridge between Solana and Polkadot, focusing on Prague and its independent entrepreneurs and businesses.

Daniel is offering 500 DOT for onboarding people into the DAO, with 5 DOT per open account. He will work with the Polkadot Roots initiative to monitor the spending of these DOTs. He also seeks 500 DOT as a reward for his ongoing contributions and initial funding for his university research.

Daniel is associated with the Deruged NFT Collection, which has a strong identity and is run by community members with web3 experience. The collection tells the story of their derug during the FTX crash and is now managed by a few strong community members. The artwork is created by artist Gringograss, who is also working on the females.

There is a discussion about closing a bounty called BD bounty 39 because it has not been active and has not delivered anything in 8 months. Some people think it should be closed, while others have proposed a new plan to change the people in charge and try again. There is also a vote happening at the same time to decide if the bounty should be closed or not. Saxemberg, a group involved in this, thinks that the bounty should be closed and does not support the new plan because they believe it will not work well. They also think that different teams working on different things should not be combined. In the end, Cris Nguyen, one of the people involved, decided not to change the people in charge but to create a new bounty in the future. People are asked to vote on this new bounty when it happens.

Dear community,

I am asking for your help to fund an account that does good things with 1000 DOT. This account is used for:

1. Giving rewards to people who help with something called "staking" for validators.
2. Giving back money to people who make decisions on Polkadot and Collective chains.

The account was given money 8 months ago, and I have been using my own money to keep it going. Now, there are more people doing these things, and it's getting hard to pay for everything.

Remember, this account only sends money for important things and most of the money goes back to the big money box called "treasury."

Thank you,
Will | Paradox | ParaNodes
