Polkadot's social media management is decentralized, with contributions from ET90266, the Polkadot Social Media Editorial Board (EB), and Distractive. The EB has five members, and there is a proposal to fund their salary for a 6-month term. Each member would receive 2,500 USDT per month. The Web3 Foundation legally owns Polkadot's social media accounts and has entrusted ET90266 to manage them. The EB works with ET90266 and Distractive for content creation and brand alignment. The first EB had impressive growth in reach and engagement. The second EB was selected through an application and interview process, and its members have backgrounds in business development, content creation, social media, copywriting, marketing, and other Web3 areas. They aim to increase Polkadot's social media engagement and reach. The funds will be paid to a 4/6 multisig controlled by the 5 members and ET90266, and distributed in 3 tranches over 6 months. ET90266 will not be compensated from this proposal.

A small spender request of 32,500 USDT has been made for a documentary on blockchain gaming, focusing on Polkadot's ecosystem. The goal is to educate non-crypto-native game developers about the benefits and challenges of blockchain gaming. The documentary is already completed and has been self-funded, including international flights, hotels, and other expenses. It targets gaming developers who are curious about blockchain but skeptical. The documentary is honest and accessible, featuring interviews with Polkadot native teams and other participants. If approved, the documentary will be promoted by Polkadot distribution partners such as Dot Play, Kusamarian, and Distractive. The documentary aims to provide objective information to indie developers as they begin their research on blockchain, helping them onboard to Polkadot without negative bias.

Publishing and promoting the documentary, “Blockchain Gaming,” by the Polkadot community.

A proposal has been submitted to the Uniswap DAO to deploy Uniswap V3 contracts to the Polkadot Asset Hub. The deployment cost is $105,000, which will be paid to GFX Labs. The proposal comes after receiving feedback from an initial discussion on the forum. Polkadot is set to receive its 2.0/Plaza upgrade and deploy EVM-compatible PolkaVM in December. Uniswap V3 offers concentrated liquidity and capital efficiency, which are improvements over V2. The cost breakdown includes $45,000 for Uniswap deployment and $60,000 for UI maintenance. The funds will be escrowed in a multisig until deployment. Stakeholders include DAOplomats, GFX Labs, Oku, and Polkadot OpenGov. DAOplomats is also working on a treasury proposal to allocate UNI tokens to incentivize liquidity after deployment.

Polkadot OpenGov has set standards for bounties to ensure they meet minimum requirements before receiving funding. These standards cover objectives, funding, curators, recipients, and transparency.

1. **Bounty Objectives**: Bounties must have clear goals that the community can judge their success by. Funds can only be used for the objectives they were requested for.

2. **Funding**: Bounties can request funding once per quarter. Requests must include a budget breakdown, timeframe, and transparency reports on past activities. They must be discussed for at least 2 weeks before a vote.

3. **Curators**: Curators must have a verified identity and payment terms must be outlined. They cannot sign payments for their own work, except for compensation. They must declare conflicts of interest and report any issues.

4. **Recipients**: Recipients must have a verified identity and cannot claim compensation for work they've already been paid for.

5. **Transparency**: Bounties must provide materials like a public communication channel, an overview page with objectives and contact information, a spending policy, a table of child bounties, monthly progress summaries, and quarterly financial statements.

The document also discusses the importance of having clear objectives, the ability to change them, and the challenges of setting success metrics. It emphasizes the need for both summary and detailed transparency, and provides examples of how bounties can meet these standards with simplicity and efficiency.

DaBlock is an information portal for the Polkadot ecosystem that provides resources on DApps, major initiatives, organizations, and insights from events like Sub0 and Decoded. It aims to complement the Polkadot Wiki by focusing on key elements rather than technical concepts. The project began with proposal #240 and has produced two main outputs: dablock.com, a comprehensive ecosystem portal with over 600 URLs, and DOT Brain, a directory with over 1,000 curated and categorized items. These resources are used by creators, agencies, and media teams as a valuable reference, reducing content generation time.

DaBlock is seeking support for proposal #1240 to continue expanding their efforts in the ecosystem. They are requesting 8,400 USDC to sustain and advance their work, with plans to complete the following tasks in the next two months:

1. 100% Open-Source Migration: Migrating the Dablock portal to a Static Site Generator solution (Astro) and changing the domain to polkadotecosystem.com.
2. Multi-Language Version: Introducing a multi-language version to enable content publication in multiple languages.
3. Portal Restructuring: Reorganizing the portal structure to prevent duplicate content and improve user navigation.
4. Directory & Content Updates: Updating directories with new information and refreshing main content pages.
5. Sub0 Reset: Making all talks, summaries, and related resources from Sub0 and Decoded events available on the new polkadotecosystem.com portal.

With this support, DaBlock aims to increase the visibility and accessibility of its resources and continue advancing the Polkadot ecosystem.

This proposal is about giving a retroactive tip to Saxemberg, who was an active Decentralized Voice (DV) during Cohort 2. Saxemberg had a 94.7% participation rate and communicated well with the community. The proposal suggests a maximum tip of 2,500 DOT (about 833.33 DOT per month) for Saxemberg's contributions. The tip amount should reflect individual contributions during the DV period. Saxemberg's opt-in message states that they would like the tip to be proportional to all opt-in participants and would use it to pay their Chinese and Spanish speaking analysts and crypto expert. The proposal aims to recognize and reward meaningful contributions from Cohort 2 members and encourage continued community engagement.

Proposal to retroactively tip Saxemberg for their participation and communication during the Cohort, with a maximum tip of 2,500 DOT. Other DVs can opt in with their own proposals. Resources and further reading provided. Submitted by DAOplomats.

In August, we attended the first blockchain gaming event in Monterrey. Now, we are invited to participate in the second edition in Mexico City on November 23, 2024, at Casa Battler. We will represent Polkadot in a Web3 gaming event.

We plan to hold two blockchain gaming tournaments within the Polkadot ecosystem:
1. Flappy WUD tournament with a $100 DOT prize. We will show the public games built within the Polkadot ecosystem and teach them how to use an ecosystem wallet. Nova Wallet will be used for this tournament.
2. We will ask Adrian, a Neurolanche ambassador, to sponsor a $100 prize for a zkStrike tournament. This event will take place in a gaming community in Mexico, providing us with computer equipment for the tournament.

The event will last 8 hours, and with Casa Battler's infrastructure, we can showcase games like PINK, FlappyWUD, and zkStrike, allowing attendees to play and win prizes. We will also discuss trending mobile games on the Mythos blockchain.

For more information, visit our proposal and contact us on Telegram, Instagram, or X.
