It&rsquo;s Goku.
This is my third solo creator tip request for my contribution and impact over the last ~5 months (140 days). The latest one was on October 11, 2024 (for 15K USDT).
Aside from memeposting, my content has typically involved extensive cross-ecosystem research, narrative-building, and positioning Polkadot and telling its story in the most intellectually honest way possible&mdash;often by touching on other ecosystem solutions and how they relate to Polkadot.
For tone, I generally target an audience outside of Polkadot, making the content digestible, engaging, and debunking the noise. I avoid preaching or a didactic style, instead mixing insights with a bit of entertainment to push Polkadot&rsquo;s real value proposition and its contrarian bet.
Over the past 140 days, my content on X has reached over 1.1M views and gained over 900 new followers&mdash;organically, steady, and quality over quantity way.
These posts have been leveraged by KOLs, Polkadot ecosystem projects, the community, and other content creators, creating further conversations and engagement.
Now, with Kaito&rsquo;s mindshare, smart follower, and yap points metrics, we have additional ways to assess impact on X. No metric tells the full story, but it provides some signal nevertheless. The current leaderboard still has farmers, but once adjusted, it will reflect a more accurate measure of influence in the X space. Even in its current form, if you check the 6-month or 12-month range, you&rsquo;ll find me around the top 15 zone. While that&rsquo;s not extremely high, I have one of the highest yap points among active Polkadot agents on X, which serves as a soft indicator of attention-grabbing on broader topics with crypto X inner circles&mdash;which is exactly where I focus.

<h1>Problem statement</h1>
The growing demand for AI infrastructure requires robust, scalable, and secure systems, but many traditional solutions come with high costs, centralization risks, and vulnerabilities in data management. Blockchains offer a decentralized and transparent alternative for handling storage, processing, and data validation in AI, but not all chains are suitable for these tasks. Researching and comparing blockchains helps identify those with the best performance, interoperability, and sustainability, ensuring that AI infrastructure remains efficient, reliable, and resilient to failures or manipulation.

Polkassembly Social Contract 2025

- Polkadot-API is a set of tools for making apps that work on a blockchain.
- The team is improving the tools to help developers create better apps.
- They have added new features and shared tech demos to show what the tools can do.
- The team is asking for money to keep working on Polkadot-API from February to December 2025.
- They have a plan to follow if they get the money, including signing agreements and invoicing.
- There is a budget set aside for legal costs, and any leftover money will go back to a special fund.
- You can read more details in their proposal linked in the message.

Hi everyone,
As many of you may already know, <a href="https://github.com/polkadot-api/polkadot-api">Polkadot-API</a> was envisioned to provide a robust and flexible suite of libraries that prioritize composability, modularity, and a light-client-first approach. Our goal remains to equip dApp developers with powerful tools that simplify the creation of truly decentralized applications while continuously refining the developer experience.
Over the past development cycles, we have introduced new features and enhancements to Polkadot-API, along with additional libraries that complement and expand its capabilities. We've also released a series of tech demos that are valuable in their own right, while also showcasing the potential of these libraries. A detailed breakdown of our recent progress can be found in our <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-api-2025-q1-update/11906">latest update on the Polkadot forum</a>.
We are seeking funding for ongoing development and maintenance through the <a href="https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/polkadot-community-foundation">Polkadot Community Foundation</a>, for the months from February 2025 to December 2025. As outlined in their documentation, the beneficiary is their address in AssetHub.
You can review all the details of the proposal in the following Google Doc: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fZedk7Q0yEkJ9cAtl_IaAgQLr3vjSWdPjvhjC4UN5Oc">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fZedk7Q0yEkJ9cAtl_IaAgQLr3vjSWdPjvhjC4UN5Oc</a>
Once the referendum is approved, the PCF and Polkadot-API team will go through the following process:
<ul>
<li>Create and sign a contractual agreement.</li>
<li>Complete the KYC/KYB process.</li>
<li>The Polkadot-API team will invoice the PCF for the 2025 development of Polkadot-API.</li>
<li>The PCF will transfer the proposal amount in USDC to our address in AssetHub (12R1XCdgkHysv8Y4ntiXguo4eUYHXjQTmfRjL8FbmezsG71j) in a single transfer at the beginning.</li>
</ul>
We have allocated a buffer of $7,000 for PCF legal and operational costs. After the process is complete, the PCF will refund the remaining amount back to the Polkadot Treasury.
Thank you for your support.

Statescan is a tool for exploring certain blockchain networks. Here are some key points about it:

- It started in 2021 and helps people track Polkadot, Kusama, and other related chains.
- Statescan is open source, which means anyone can see and use its code for free.
- It is used by many different blockchain projects, including Nexus, Litentry, and Crust.
- The tool needs servers and a domain to work properly, costing around €3,051 in total for 18 months.
- Maintenance work involves keeping the servers running smoothly and fixing any issues that arise.
- There are plans for new features, which would cost $6,400 to develop.
- The total estimated cost for everything is around $67,051.

[Statescan](https://github.com/opensquare-network/statescan-v2) is an explorer solution for substrate based chains. We have been serving polkadot/kusama and related chains since 2021. Compared to explorers like subscan, it provides a 100% open source and low cost candidate for ecosystem projects.

Besides polkadot system chains, followings chains has adopted statescan as their explores:  Hyperbridge([Nexus](https://nexus.statescan.io/), [gargantua](https://gargantua.statescan.io/)), [Heima(Litentry)](https://heima.statescan.io/), [Invarch](https://invarch.statescan.io/), [Polimec](https://polimec.statescan.io/), [Laos](https://laos.statescan.io/),, [Crust](https://crust.statescan.io/), [Shadow](https://shadow.statescan.io/), [Tangle](https://tangle.statescan.io/), [Tanssi testnet](https://stagelight.statescan.io/), [Argon](https://argon.statescan.io/). There are also projects who deployed statescan by theirselves like [Subsocial](https://explorer.subsocial.network) and [Edgeware](https://edgscan.ink).

**Editorial Board in Spanish Cohort #2**

- A proposal was made to fund the salaries of three members of the Spanish Editorial Board for six months.
- The Marketing team could not agree on funding and suggested it be decided by the Polkadot community.
- The Editorial Board has improved social media success and event impact in Latin America.
- There were significant increases in followers and engagement compared to the previous year.
- They request $46,000 to continue their work, including events and community engagement.
- New signatories were added to support this proposal.

Editorial Board in Spanish Cohort #2
Important: This request was initially submitted to the Marketing Bounty. However, following their deliberations, a consensus could not be reached, and they recommended that the funding decision be made by Polkadot's Open Governance. Below is an exact copy of their response:
&ldquo;Dear JC,
Thank you for submitting your proposal for the Editorial Board in Spanish Cohort 2 Salary. After careful review and discussion, the Marketing Bounty couldn&rsquo;t agree on a majority vote. Hence we are rejecting this proposal and encourage you to submit it through OpenGov, where the broader Polkadot community can evaluate and vote on the continuation of this important initiative they initially funded.&rdquo;
Proposal Summary:
Following the successful implementation of the Editorial Board model for decentralized management of the Polkadot en Espa&ntilde;ol X account and Marketing activities in LatAm, we now seek funding for the next six months (December - May) to support the salaries of our three key members. This continuation proposal references proposal #641 (where the Editorial Board was proposed) and #938 (Ref that funded the first six months, cohort 1) and details the achievements and structure of our Editorial Board, alongside the funding requirements necessary to maintain and expand our efforts.
Timeline:
<ul>
<li>Referendum #641 Approved: Execution begins in May 2024, with the team taking over the official Polkadot Spanish account and initiating efforts to consolidate marketing initiatives in Latin America.</li>
<li>Referendum #938 Approved: By the end of July 2024, the referendum to determine the salary for the first cohort of the Spanish Editorial Board is approved. This referendum covers the salaries for three members from June to November 2024.</li>
<li>December 2024: A new cohort assumes responsibilities and continues supporting the execution of Referendum #641. This subsequent referendum has been launched to fund the salaries of three new members from December 2024 through May 2025.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="highlights">Highlights ✨</h3>
Our decentralized approach has yielded significant improvements in social media performance and event impact compared to the previous year under centralized management. Social media metrics, such as engagement rates, impressions, and follower growth, have shown notable increases, demonstrating the effectiveness of localized strategies.
Additionally, the two high-impact events we attended provided valuable opportunities to boost brand awareness, resulting in measurable audience engagement, increased follower counts, and a heightened presence for Polkadot in the LATAM region. These metrics highlight the success of focusing on community-relevant content and strategic event participation.
<ul>
<li>Total Impressions: 925,300 in six months vs. 679,000 in the previous year of centralized management (172.5% monthly average increase).</li>
<li>New Followers: 2,445 in six months vs. 1,662 in the previous year of centralized management (194.2% monthly average increase).</li>
<li>Engagement by X: 3.90% in six months vs. 2.00% in the previous year (290% monthly average increase).</li>
<li>Likes: 10,864 in six months vs. 3,576 in the previous year (507.6% monthly average increase).</li>
<li>Reposts: 3,146 in six months vs. 693 in the previous year (807.9% monthly average increase).</li>

Editorial Board in Spanish Cohort #2 Dec 2024 - May 2025

Bastian Köcher is a rank 6 member of the Fellowship. Here are some key points about his work and responsibilities:

- Members at rank 6 must ask to keep their rank every 6 months.
- There are no rank 8+ members to vote for Bastian, so he needs support from all token holders for approval.
- He is focused on making it faster to process blocks for parachains on Polkadot, aiming for every 500 milliseconds.
- Bastian is working on allowing proxies to be used across different chains, which is currently limited.
- He wrote a guide to help people replicate pure proxies between chains.
- Bastian has addressed issues with runtime upgrades that can cause performance problems.
- He actively participates in discussions to help others and maintains the Fellowship runtimes repository.

Short description: Ongoing development and maintenance costs for public SQD Archives
Archive raw data: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qTLup1JU9XPsklciZDeHVbd-EtP1AvdP4zzI5rm4bSU/edit?gid=1549354589#gid=1549354589">Archive Infrastructure Metrics</a> - April, May, June
Requested: $264,838.09
Previous proposals: <a href="referenda/1193">https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1193</a>
Motivation
A) Archives
Archives are an important piece of Polkadot and Kusama data infrastructure provided by SQD (formerly Subsquid). They provide access to on-chain data for public chains in the Polkadot ecosystem. They are being used as a data source for Squids and for efficient data exploration and ad-hoc queries.
The Archives, as performant data sources of historical on-chain data, are critical to the operation of backend APIs run by major projects in the Polkadot ecosystem (the list is not exhaustive): 
<ul>
<li>Tanssi Network</li>
<li>Talisman Wallet</li>
<li>Polimec</li>
<li>Polkassembly</li>
<li>Apillon</li>
<li>Hydration</li>
<li>Giant Squid API (maintained by LimeChain, see details below)</li>
<li>SubWallet</li>
<li>FiDi</li>
<li>KodaDot</li>
<li>RMRK</li>
<li>ChainSafe (in particular the Multix multi-sig, as well as other projects)</li>
<li>Phala Network</li>
<li>Stellaswap</li>
<li>Polkascan</li>
</ul>
Since the first quarter of 2024, SQD has transitioned to a paid model for supporting parachains. However, public chains continue to be available for free use. Throughout the second quarter of 2024, we provided a free public data indexing service for Substrate blockchains, allowing interested parties to access indexed data on Substrate Events, Extrinsics, Storage Items, and EVM logs. Below is a list of the public chains we currently support at no cost:
<ul>
<li>polkadot</li>
<li>kusama</li>
<li>asset-hub-kusama</li>
<li>asset-hub-polkadot</li>
<li>bridge-hub-polkadot</li>
<li>collectives-polkadot</li>
<li>rococo</li>
<li>westend-collectives</li>
</ul>
As of Q1 2024, SQD has sunsetted support for Giant Squid, with LimeChain taking over its further development, detailed in the proposal at <a href="treasury/758">https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/758</a>
B) Contribution
During Q2&rsquo;2024, we made significant contributions to support ink! v5 and address actual use cases that were highly demanded by the community:
<ul>
<li>We provided support for manual finality confirmation in the subsquid/substrate-processor for cases where a chain does not expose finalization details</li>
</ul>
Achievements
Increase in Archival Data Demand and Infrastructure Scaling
During Q2, archival data demand increased approximately ~28,1 times, from 110,6 GiB to 3.095,17 GiB. We addressed the increasing demand for archival data by enhancing our infrastructure's throughput and redundancy through deploying archives to OVHCloud in addition to GCE, while also empowering our maintenance and engineering teams to support the expanded infrastructure effectively.
Mainnet Launch and Decentralization of the SQD Network Enhancing the Polkadot Ecosystem:
In Q2&rsquo;24, we successfully launched the SQD mainnet, a pivotal advancement that significantly strengthens the Polkadot ecosystem's decentralization and resilience. By the end of the quarter, the SQD network comprised 726 Worker Nodes online, securely storing 529 TB of data and serving ~ 9 TB of data a day. This decentralized infrastructure enhances data processing and storage capabilities, ensuring higher security, fault tolerance, and scalability for the Polkadot network.
Advancements in Squid SDK Empowering Polkadot Developers:
<ul>
<li>Manual Finality Confirmation Configuration: Enabled manual configuration of finality confirmation for subsquid/substrate-processor in cases where a parachain does not expose finalization information</li>
</ul>
Cloud API Upgrades:
We upgraded our Cloud API to offer enhanced capabilities that support the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem:
<ul>
<li>Multiple API Tokens Support: Allows for more granular access control and better management of development workflows.</li>
<li>Hasura Integration: Enables more efficient and powerful data querying and manipulation, facilitating the creation of responsive and data-driven applications.</li>
<li>Chain ID and SS58 Prefix support: Enhanced network identification and management for seamless interoperability across Polkadot parachains</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

Over the course of Q2 2024:
<ul>
<li>Served a total of 3,505,904,767,634 (~3.19 TiB) of data from the substrate based archives in Q2 2024</li>
<li>Served 301 069 archive requests from substrate based archives in Q2 2024</li>
<li>The highest daily total data transfer recorded for Substrate was 161.646 GiB within a single 24-hour period.</li>
</ul>
Costing
This proposal encompasses the combined costs for running Archives for Polkadot, Kusama, and other public chains, along with the development contributions, amounting to a total of $264,838.09. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qTLup1JU9XPsklciZDeHVbd-EtP1AvdP4zzI5rm4bSU/edit?gid=1549354589#gid=1549354589">Raw data for Archives can be seen here</a>.
