The proposed solution is to move forward with the program and address concerns about high salaries, merit, and the need for incentives. The requested amount is 840,000 USDT to provide a 4-month runway for the program's implementation and potential success.

Funding the Ambassador Program

We are discussing a proposal for a research project about OpenGov, a new governance system for the Polkadot network. The project is based on a request for proposals (RFP) from the Web3 Foundation (W3F). OpenGov was introduced on Kusama in November 2022 and later on Polkadot in June 2023. The goal of this research is to study how people participate in OpenGov and understand their motivations, obstacles, and patterns.

The research will look at questions like:
1. What does OpenGov participation look like?
2. Are there incentives for participating in OpenGov?
3. What obstacles do people face when participating in OpenGov?
4. Who are the people participating in OpenGov?
5. Why do people participate in OpenGov?
6. Are there trends in discussions outside of OpenGov?
7. Are there patterns in how people vote on OpenGov?

We will collect and analyze data from OpenGov and ask questions to the participants. The full proposal can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CDEk4J-g9ISgOLiu_D6mwg5Jgbk9JOKyW97dcSLcycE/edit?usp=sharing), and the discussion on the Polkadot Forum is [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/an-analysis-of-governance-participation-on-opengov-implementations/10143). We welcome your feedback and comments.

Wario from Motoverse Project has proposed a treasury proposal requesting $185,000 USD. Motoverse is a decentralized vehicle hub and ecosystem built on Polkadot, aiming to provide solutions for vehicle transactions, a secondary marketplace, and decentralized finance. The project's mission is to transform vehicle transactions by offering secure, transparent, and decentralized solutions globally.

The proposal includes three main milestones:
1. Legal, Intellectual Property, and Foundation: Set up a company, protect intellectual property, and prepare legal documents.
2. Vehicle Tokenizer Tool: Develop a legally-compliant real-world asset tokenizer using existing ecosystem substrate pallets.
3. Ricardian Contracts Tool: Build a Ricardian Contract Factory Pallet for vehicle purchases.

The project will take 12 months to complete, with costs allocated to foundation and legal consulting, substrate development, UX/UI and tests, contracts legal design, and app development. Motoverse plans to test the platform in Asia, starting with Thailand, and Latin America, starting with Mexico.

If the proposal does not pass, the team will seek community feedback, revise the proposal, and resubmit it. The Motoverse team includes Wario (CEO), Luke (CTO), a Substrate Developer, a front-end developer, and a product designer, with plans to expand the team further.

Proposal to remove ONLY the 20 current Head Ambassadors

The polkadot-typed-api library aims to improve the Polkadot ecosystem by providing a typed access to the Polkadot API, making development more convenient and safe. Currently, the library covers 5% of all available methods, focusing on 20% of query calls. The goal is to increase coverage to 50% for query calls by the end of 2024 and 100% by the end of 2025. The library will simplify API interaction, increase code security, accelerate development, and expand the developer community. The project has decided to implement dynamic type generation, which will allow real-time adaptation to changes in the Polkadot API. This will be included in the second version of the library, with 100% coverage of reading methods planned for the end of 2024 and transaction methods targeted for Q1 2025.

WHO: The proposal is made by a team of developers. 

WHAT: They request funding for the further development of the polkadot-typed-api library, which provides a typed access to the Polkadot API. 

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: The funding amount is not specified. They aim to reach 50% coverage for query calls by the end of 2024 and 100% by the end of 2025. The project requires additional resources and time for comprehensive analysis of tx calls.

Hello there! I am a Polkadot agent named Saimon. I organized a Polkadot event in Barcelona, Spain, and I did a lot of work for it. I spent money on drinks, snacks, and pizza for the event, which cost me 187.25 euros. I wasn't paid for this work, so I am asking for a tip to make up for it. 

The event was important because it was for big bosses of companies like NTT DATA, and we talked about how Polkadot can help their businesses. I was in charge of many things, like organizing the event, inviting people, and even explaining some things about Polkadot. 

Here is a summary of what happened at the event:
1. People came and registered.
2. I talked about Polkadot Enterprise Solutions.
3. NTT DATA directors talked about their Web3 Experience.
4. Representatives from Web3 Foundation, Kilt protocol, and Tanssi Network talked about Polkadot Projects.
5. Everyone networked and ate pizza.

I think this event was a big step in helping Polkadot technology reach many more people and businesses. I am asking for 250 DOT as a tip, which is the same as the Business Development bounty for Spain and Andorra.

Subsquid Lab Official has requested 47,597.91 DOT ($202,291.10) from the Polkadot treasury to cover ongoing development and maintenance costs for public SQD Archives. These archives provide on-chain data access for public chains in the Polkadot ecosystem and are used by major projects like Polkassembly, Talisman, and RMRK. In Q1 2024, SQD transitioned to a paid model for supporting parachains but continues to offer free access to public chains. They also made significant contributions to support ink! v5 and addressed community demands. Achievements include the full migration to ArrowSquid, decentralizing Archives Tethys Testnet, and the mainnet bootstrap. In Q1 2024, they served 1.57 terabytes of data and 80 million archive requests, with the highest daily data transfer being 313.12 Gb.

The Polkadot Ambassador Program aims to become a successful example for other ecosystems. To achieve this, the proposal suggests reducing the number of Head Ambassadors from 21 to 10 and moving some to Senior roles. The 10 remaining Head Ambassadors have agreed on a 100-day plan to kickstart the program. The reasons for downsizing include the difficulty of managing a large group, some members not meeting leadership expectations, and the need for a cost-efficient program. The 100-day plan involves setting up five teams to organize the Polkadot Embassy, focusing on internal operations, external operations, community growth, business development, and customer success/dev relations. Goals for each team include onboarding new ambassadors, hosting events, engaging with the crypto world, bringing new business to Polkadot, and improving the onboarding experience for Polkadot users.

Nighthawk is a privacy-focused browser extension that helps keep you safe while browsing the internet, especially in the Web3 space. It is open-source and serverless, which means it keeps your information private and doesn't store your browsing history. Nighthawk protects you from phishing, which are tricks to steal your information, on websites like X, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. You can also tell the Nighthawk team if you find anything suspicious, and they will add it to their blocklist.

Recently, Nighthawk made a rule-based engine to protect users in the Polkadot ecosystem and other crypto platforms. They are now working on a new project that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to create anti-phishing rules in real-time. This will help find new threats faster and protect users right away. Nighthawk's goals are to prevent asset loss and detect new phishing kits as they appear.

Phishing is a big problem in the crypto world, and Nighthawk wants to help protect everyone, whether they are new or experienced. They are working on an automated system that uses LLM to generate and test rules for new phishing threats. They also plan to fine-tune the LLM to detect new phishing tactics.

The Nighthawk team has engineers, a research engineer, a phishing analyst, and a project manager. They have a budget of $100,000 and plan to finish the project in 10-12 months. You can find more information about Nighthawk on their GitHub page.

WHO: Phishfort, a team of engineers, a research engineer, a phishing analyst, and a project manager.

WHAT: Developing an automated pipeline that leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate anti-phishing rules in real-time.
