**Summary of Proposal by DonDiegoSanchez**

- **Proposer:** DonDiegoSanchez, Head Ambassador & ChaosDAO co-founder.
- **Collaborator:** Scorechain, a KYT (Know Your Transaction) provider.
- **Objective:** To enhance Polkadot's ecosystem by integrating a KYT solution, crucial for AML-CFT policies and accessing institutional and retail markets.
- **Current Issue:** Polkadot lacks proper KYT providers, classifying it as a 'Tier 2 network' and hindering financial use cases.
- **Proposed Solution:** Creation of an open-source Polkadot Connector, enabling KYT providers to offer compliance solutions.
- **Funding:** Requested $508k USDC.
- **Benefits:** Full KYT coverage for the Relay chain and active parachains, free coverage for existing customers, and free licenses for financial actors building on Polkadot.
- **Implementation:** Maintenance for 3 years, integration into Scorechain's marketing, and a dedicated campaign about the coverage.

Scorechain proposes to create an open-source tool called Polkadot Connector for KYT providers to offer compliance solutions for regulated actors on Polkadot. The proposal requires a medium spender of $508k USDC to maintain the Polkadot Connector for three years, provide full KYT coverage for the Relay chain and the most active parachains, and offer free KYT coverage for one year to all current customers. Additionally, 15 free licenses will be provided to the HA and BD team to distribute to financial actors building products and services secured by Polkadot.

A person made nine posters and wants 45 DOT (5 DOT each) for them. They made the posters in March 2024 and shared them on a website called X. Each poster got about 3,000 views, 70 likes, and 10 retweets. It took 1 to 3 hours to make each poster. They thought of the theme, used a tool called Midjourney to make images, and then put everything together in a program called PS to finish the posters. They mixed different AI-generated images for some posters. You can see the posters by clicking on the links they provided.

GM, I am requesting 45 DOT (5 DOT each) for nine retroactive posters I created and published on X in March 2024.

On average, each post have: ~3k Impressions ~70 Likes ~10 retweets.

I spent between 1 and 3 hours to create each poster.

The process was basically:

-   Figuring out the theme and slogans.
-   Experimenting on midjourney to create images.
-   Getting everything together on PS with final touches (and mixing multiple AI generated images for some of them).

- The proposal is about improving security for Polkadot, a platform for building apps.
- It plans to help with audits, which check if projects are safe, and encourages new ways to make money.
- PAL has already helped secure many projects by sharing funds for security checks.
- The new changes will allow more types of projects, not just parachains, to apply for security help.
- Curators will make sure only trustworthy projects get funded by using different criteria.
- The proposal also suggests paying curators a monthly salary instead of a small fee, to motivate them more.
- New curators with strong security backgrounds are added to help improve Polkadot's safety.

The PAL initiative proposes to expand its scope beyond parachain audits to a more holistic approach to Polkadot security, including coretime consumers, Solidity smart contracts, and common-good security initiatives. The proposal limits payouts to a maximum of $100,000 per chain and per 6 months, with a maximum of $250,000 for security tooling. The curator fee will be replaced with a monthly salary of $3,000 worth of DOT per curator. Two new curators will be added to the team.

### Summary

- **Objective:** Open XCM channels between Polkadot parachains to improve interoperability.
- **Current Issue:** Many parachains lack DOT in their "Child" accounts, making it difficult to open XCM channels.
- **Proposed Solution:** Deposit 2261 DOT into the "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to facilitate channel openings.
- **Benefits:** Increases accessibility of parachain tokens on Polkadot DeFi platforms, enhances XCM traffic, and simplifies integration.
- **Implementation:** Targeting specific DOT amounts for each parachain based on size and potential use cases.
- **Feedback:** Initial feedback supports the initiative, with 72% of voters in favor of using treasury funds for this purpose.

Polkadot Treasury will deposit 2261 DOT into the Polkadot relaychain "Child" accounts of fourteen parachains to make it easier to open XCM channels between chains. The proposal aims to increase the amount of XCM traffic, make more parachain tokens accessible to Polkadot DeFi on Hydration, Bifrost, Moonbeam, Astar, and remove one technical barrier to further integration and use case development between chains. The proposal will be implemented by submitting governance proposals to each parachain to open channels. The proposal will cost less than $1k and will be paid in DOT.

This is a request for extra money to help with a project that was already given money before. The people working on the project had planned how much they would need based on a certain price of a thing called DOT. But when they got the money, the price of DOT had gone down, and they didn't have enough to finish the project well. They are asking for an extra 183.326 USDC to make up for the difference in the price of DOT and keep the project going as planned. They think this extra money will help the project and everyone involved. They are ready to talk more about this request and thank everyone for their support.

_This is a resubmission of [1058](1058) as the multisig was not present on Assethub_

Amount requested: **183.326 USDC**

**Introduction**

We are reaching out to kindly request additional funding to support our [previously funded proposal](663). This request arises from unforeseen market fluctuations that have impacted our budget and jeopardized the quality of our project delivery.

**Background**

In our initial proposal, we based our financial calculations on the DOT price of $8.722 (7-day EMA based on Subscan on April 10, 2024). This figure was instrumental in planning and budgeting for the milestone we set out to achieve.

**Issue Faced**

On the day of award payout, May 8th 2024, the DOT price had dropped to $6.707 (block 20736000 [https://polkadot.subscan.io/referenda\_v2/663?tab=timeline)](https://polkadot.subscan.io/referenda_v2/663?tab=timeline\)) At first, we anticipated this was a temporary pullback and expected a correction back to the $8.5 range. Unfortunately, this correction never occurred, leading to a significant shortfall in our budget.

**Impact on the Project**

The decline in the DOT price has put the quality delivery of our proposed milestones at risk. Without the necessary funds, we face the possibility of compromising on the quality and scope of our deliverables, which we believe is not in the best interest of the community or the project's long-term success.

**Request for Additional Funding**

To mitigate this situation and ensure the successful completion of our project, we are requesting a top-up of **183.326 USDC** (91.663 DOT x 2$ price difference from proposal date to payout date). This additional funding will cover the losses incurred due to the lower-than-expected DOT price and allow us to maintain the high standards we committed to in our original proposal.

**Conclusion**

We understand that fluctuations in the market are an inherent risk. However, we believe that supporting this top-up request will ultimately contribute to the project's success and the broader goals we aim to achieve together. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support.

**Next Steps**

We are available to discuss this request further and provide any additional information required. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Motif is a smart staking support system designed to simplify and optimize the staking process in Polkadot's NPoS system. The main goals of Motif are to make on-chain staking as easy as CEX-based staking, create a positive and friendly feedback loop with stakers directly via Telegram, and keep the validator set decentralized. The system aims to bring users closer to the ecosystem by making native staking more convenient.

Key points of Motif's updated proposal include:
1. Removing options related to the Motif App interface and related data flows.
2. Removing plans for personal accounts and related back/front/integrations.
3. Focusing on tools for delivering information to users through email and Telegram.
4. Retaining plans for implementing risk notifications through user-friendly channels like Telegram.
5. Keeping plans for recommendation systems to present problems and provide solutions immediately.
6. Reducing the initial proposal cost by ~5 times.
7. Adding basic marketing support.

The essential components of the system are operational now at [app.motif.network](https://app.motif.network/). A prototype of the [Motif: Staking Assistant bot](https://t.me/MotifNetwork_bot) has also been implemented.

### TL;DR (TL;DR): Kusamarian AAG presentation. 

### [![image.png](https://i.ibb.co/mzPDPbf/image.png)](https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1825125489700184298)  
Link:  [https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1825125489700184298](https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1825125489700184298)  
  
  
TL;DR: Main Goals of Motif:

1.  **Make on-chain staking as easy as CEX-based staking** and "restake" users from CEX to the native chain.
    
2.  **Create a positive and friendly feedback loop with stakers directly via Telegram** by providing soft, positive notifications (with solutions!) to help users achieve the best yield across Web3!
    
3.  **Keep the validator set decentralized** by proposing three data-driven validator options (when needed) to nominators based on their behavior: the best overall, the best 1kv validator, and the best newcomer. No pre-set or curated validators or pools, only on-chain performance!
    

**Why Native Staking?**  
Bringing users one step closer to the ecosystem. Native staker: have a wallet,  bridging experience, and gaining basic system experience. Such users are much easier to engage in the eco: voting, airdrops, DeFi, etc. Our team is committed to developing a product that benefits the ecosystem and makes native staking convenient!

We have already completed the first milestone and are prototyping the second one. Check out our app at [app.motif.network](app.motif.network) and our Telegram bot.  
**  
Hola, frens!**

Thank you for the feedback; we have used it to refine our vision for Motif and majorly updated the proposal. ([Full updated proposal for Milestone 2](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X91wJTtZvAWvwR_DSPp3SeYRsRESqTRhORgXKiF4csA/edit#heading=h.x66e6c8lb29))

Key Points:

1.  We removed all options related to the Motif App interface and related data flows/back.
2.  We removed plans for personal accounts and related back/front/integrations.
3.  We focused on tools for delivering information to users through email and Telegram.
4.  We retained plans for implementing risk notifications (through user-friendly channels like Telegram).
5.  We kept plans for recommendation systems to present problems and provide solutions immediately.
6.  This allowed us to reduce the initial proposal cost by ~5 times.
7.  New. We have added basic marketing support ([based on community feedback and current cases](https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1819742521054076996)).

In our view, this approach will improve the staking user experience and satisfaction and create a communication channel between the ecosystem and stakers. We extend our gratitude (and love!) to Leemo, Phunky, Birdo, Crane, Aleksandar, Ryan, Mork, Sourabh, Bira, Jay, Derek, Saxemberg frens and Giotto for their feedback on the [first iteration of the Motif Milestone 2 proposal](1011). Their insights have been immensely helpful in refining our product concept.

_Disclaimer: While we rely heavily on feedback from the community, nobody but the Motif Team should be considered affiliated with the project. This proposal only reflects our own vision, ideas and interpretation of the said feedback._

The essential components of the system are operational now at [app.motif.network](https://app.motif.network/). A prototype of the [Motif: Staking Assistant bot](https://t.me/MotifNetwork_bot) has also been implemented.

### **Overview.**

Motif is a smart staking support system designed to simplify and optimize the staking process in Polkadot's NPoS system. Our primary objective is to make staking more accessible and profitable for nominators through advanced data analysis and proactive assistance.

### **Context:**

Staking in Polkadot’s NPoS is currently highly complex, with high dropout rates among nominators and less stability than desired. Our [initial research](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WEhn-kQQjYxpWD8hC05Nc4VK9oPYROFl/edit?pli=1) conducted prior to Milestone 1 showed that a group of nominators consistently achieves the highest APY, highlighting an opportunity for others to improve their staking strategies. Moreover, the current decentralized setup requires users to be proactive in monitoring their stakes, which is highly time-consuming and demands high level of expertise.

1.  **Complexity in Staking:** The NPoS system is complex and challenging for many users, leading to high dropout rates among nominators.
2.  **Need for Proactive Monitoring:** Nominators must actively monitor their stakes, requiring substantial time and expertise.
3.  **Dynamic System:** The fluctuating nature of validator commissions and staking conditions demands constant oversight, risking reduced profitability and engagement.
4.  ‘**Bloatware’** - Keeping users engaged on ‘yet another’ standalone platform is now outstandingly difficult if at all possible.

### **Solutions ([Full Proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X91wJTtZvAWvwR_DSPp3SeYRsRESqTRhORgXKiF4csA/edit))**

-   Collecting, processing, and refining raw onchain data into a user-friendly format.
-   Providing guidance and showcasing optimal staking strategies in a conversational form through our ChatBot, which is connected to and operates based on curated onchain data.
-   Utilizing advanced algorithms to provide preemptive risk analysis, relevant updates AND solutions for problems Nominators may run into.
-   Leveraging a platform already native to most users in the ecosystem as the primary channel for interacting with users. Focusing on Telegram chatbot as primary interaction channel allows users to monitor their stake and ensure that their stakes remain profitable without the need to constantly navigate various platforms.
-   Setting up Notifications for Nominators: Since staking in Polkadot’s NPoS requires proactive oversight, setting up Notifications for important onchain events and possible issues with staking would be highly beneficial and help prevent dropouts and loss.

### **Structure**

Milestone 2 focuses on enhancing the Motif platform with several key components:

-   **Nominator Leaderboard:** This feature provides detailed insights into top-performing nominators, highlighting their strategies, rewards, and chosen validators. It helps users identify successful patterns and optimize their staking behavior.

![image.png](https://i.ibb.co/2ZqhjXf/7263-Nik-1722428010518.png)

-   **Telegram Bot:** The bot will be upgraded to offer real-time notifications, predictive advice, and personalized validator recommendations. This allows users to receive critical information without needing to actively monitor multiple platforms.

![image](https://i.ibb.co/gg0fRcr/7263-Nik-1722428066440.png) ![image](https://i.ibb.co/PskxBbw/7263-Nik-1722428088195.png) ![image](https://i.ibb.co/HKqK38q/7263-Nik-1722428094490.png) ![image](https://i.ibb.co/cbWM9gj/7263-Nik-1722428108857.png)

Motif aims to simplify and optimize staking in Polkadot's NPoS system. They want to make on-chain staking easy, provide positive feedback loop via Telegram, and keep validator set decentralized. They aim to make native staking convenient and have already completed the first milestone. Motif's Milestone 2 proposal includes a nominator leaderboard, Telegram bot, and backend infrastructure improvements. They want to refine data processing and storage systems and create a more efficient and decentralized staking ecosystem. The initial proposal cost has been reduced by ~5 times.
