**Requested Amount**: $50,000 USD

**Project Overview:  
**Within the WEB3DEV community, a robust network of over 15,000 registered developers, we are proposing a strategically designed bootcamp to facilitate the entry of developers into the Polkadot ecosystem. Our initiative leverages the strengths of our [existing CMS platform](https://build.w3d.community/?utm_campaign=polkadot), build.w3d.community, which has proven effective with over 9,000 subscriptions to our Solidity and Solana development courses. Our next endeavor is to enrich this educational platform with a curriculum focused on Rust, blockchain fundamentals, and pallets development anchored in the principles of open-source learning. Central to our proposal is the utilization of the [rust-state-machine GitHub repository](https://github.com/shawntabrizi/rust-state-machine) (kudos to Shawn Tabrizi) as a foundational resource. This commitment to open-source education not only underscores our dedication to transparent and accessible learning but also aligns with the collaborative spirit of the blockchain community. By offering our course materials, including those derived from the rust-state-machine, entirely open-source, we aim to not just educate but also contribute to the pool of global knowledge, facilitating innovation and development of new educational content for the Polkadot network.![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Qez2mtRsM3RDgiS7EJJdxnPSpqUPISlCoCiJ1IbvNhvduXaAcnB3feOoYkIBl6etLc6a_0Y0ytWcUgT6zQjGlU5XqUaXGl8aT5tYXTywsbU0R2IMOvV6dRXc1_wiEidByM2R_D_IodOMlEIvjD6VZK4)

The content of our course is meticulously designed to offer a comprehensive introduction to Rust programming and blockchain basics, leveraging the rich educational resources available in the rust-state-machine GitHub repository. We start with the fundamentals of Rust, including its syntax and unique features that make it an ideal language for blockchain development. Participants will delve into Rust's powerful type system, exploring how it ensures code safety and efficiency, which is crucial for developing secure blockchain applications, specially those using Polkadot SDK / Substrate FRAME. The course also covers generics and advanced data structures, providing a deep understanding of how to leverage Rust's capabilities to write versatile and robust code, making students familiar to FRAME and pallet creation syntax. 

By integrating practical exercises and projects throughout the course, participants will gain hands-on experience, from writing their first "Hello, World!" in Rust to creating their first pallet structure and custom blockchain code.This thorough and pragmatic approach ensures that by the end of the course, developers will not only grasp Rust programming principles but also understand how to apply these skills in the context of blockchain and pallets development, preparing them for a wide array of opportunities in the Polkadot space.

Our expansive digital footprint across various media channels places us in an exceptional position to effectively reach and engage our primary audience: software developers interested in expanding their skills. Our YouTube channel serves as a cornerstone for delivering in-depth tutorials and educational content specifically designed for developers. This platform, along with our Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn, allows us to tailor our communication and content to meet the unique interests and needs of the developer community. These social media platforms offer an invaluable avenue for sharing programming insights, course announcements, and the latest trends in blockchain development, ensuring our content is directly aligned with our audience’s professional interests and learning objectives.

Moreover, our engagement extends through a direct line to over 8k individuals in our email user base and a vibrant Discord community of 6k members, reinforcing our position as a leading educational resource within the software development sphere. This targeted approach ensures that every piece of content, from webinar invitations to interactive study groups, is highly relevant to our audience of developers, fostering a supportive community eager to explore new technologies. By leveraging these channels, we are not only able to reach a wide array of software developers but also to cultivate a dedicated space for learning, collaboration, and innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem. Our focused strategy ensures that we remain at the forefront of blockchain education, providing the tools and knowledge necessary for developers to make significant contributions to the field.

In addition to our community's broad reach across digital channels, Daniel Cukier and Yan Luiz, two Polkadot Blockchain Academy Graduated students will be the teachers and advertisers of this initiative. These two recognized developers significantly amplify our outreach capabilities through their individual social media presence. With 7k followers on both Twitter and LinkedIn, Daniel alone brings a substantial audience of engaged professionals, primarily from the software development and blockchain sectors. His content resonates widely, generating approximately 30k post impressions per month on each platform. This impressive reach not only underscores the value and relevance of the content shared but also represents a powerful conduit for promoting our bootcamp, study groups, and educational resources. Daniel's influence and visibility in these professional networks enhance our ability to connect with a broader segment of the developer community, furthering our mission to equip software developers with the knowledge and skills required for innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem. His contributions, coupled with our established media channels, create a synergistic effect, significantly extending our educational impact and fostering a more informed and skilled community of developers ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities presented by blockchain technology.

VOTE no, wrong track

Ink! Analyzer is a tool created by David Semakula that helps analyze ink! smart contracts. It is like rust-analyzer but for ink!, which is a language for making smart contracts. The analyzer helps with understanding the rules of ink! contracts and gives useful features for editing them. It works with many different tools, like Visual Studio Code, and can be used to add ink! support to other tools too.

David is asking for money to update ink! Analyzer so it can work with the newest version of ink!, called ink! v5. He wants to make it better and faster, and also write instructions for people to use it. He has already gotten money from the Web3 Foundation to work on ink! Analyzer before, but he thinks it's time to get money from the treasury instead. David is a software engineer with a lot of experience and has also helped with rust-analyzer and ink! in the past.

\# ink! Analyzer: Retroactive funding for ink! v5 support Hello, I'm \[David Semakula (@davidsemakula)\]\[me\] - the creator of \[ink! analyzer\]\[ink-analyzer\]. \[me\]: https://github.com/davidsemakula \[ink-analyzer\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer ## What's ink! analyzer? \[ink! analyzer\]\[ink-analyzer\] is a collection of modular and reusable libraries and tools for semantic analysis of \[ink!\] smart contracts. In short, ink! analyzer is to ink!, what \[rust-analyzer\] is to \[Rust\]. \[ink!\]: https://use.ink \[rust-analyzer\]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer \[Rust\]: https://www.rust-lang.org/ More technically, rust-analyzer is a Rust compiler frontend/semantic analyzer for \[IDEs\]\[IDE\] that's built on a lossless and resilient parser (this part is very important for IDE/editor tooling because the program is essentially perpetually incorrect as you type in an IDE/editor). So rust-analyzer "understands" core Rust language concepts (e.g. that a trait implementation like \`impl MyTrait for MyStruct {}\` must define all the required associated items of the trait), and provides \[intelligent editing features\]\[intellisense\] to help you with those kinds of core Rust language features. However, when it comes to \[Rust syntax extensions/DSLs like ink!'s attribute macros\]\[ink-macros\], when you annotate a \`mod\` item with \`#\[ink::contract\]\`, all rust-analyzer "knows" is that this is a custom attribute, it doesn't "know" that an ink! contract \`mod\` must have exactly one \`struct\` item annotated with \`#\[ink(storage)\]\` or any of the other semantic rules for ink! contracts, so this is where ink! analyzer comes in 🙂. \[IDE\]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated\_development\_environment \[intellisense\]: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense \[ink-macros\]: https://use.ink/getting-started/creating-an-ink-project/ For a deeper dive on the problems ink! analyzer solves and technical details about its architecture, check out \[this detailed introductory blog post\]\[ink-analyzer-intro\]. You can also check out \[this awesome X/Twitter thread by the ink! lang team\]\[twitter-thread\] for a quick walkthrough of ink! analyzer features. \[ink-analyzer-intro\]: https://analyze.ink/blog/introducing-ink-analyzer \[twitter-thread\]: https://twitter.com/ink\_lang/status/1762795949259448776 ## Adoption ink! analyzer's most user/developer facing component is currently a \[Visual Studio Code extension\]\[vs-code-extension\], which has over \*~350 unique installs\* (first released in Aug/2023). However, ink! analyzer is built with an IDE/editor agnostic architecture to maximize re-usability of it's core components i.e. - \[A modular domain-specific semantic analysis library for ink!\]\[semantic-analyzer\] built on a resilient and lossless parser. - A \[Language Server Protocol (LSP)\]\[LSP\] \[implementation\]\[lsp-server\] built on top of the aforementioned semantic analysis library. !\[ink! Analyzer - LSP based Architecture Diagram\](https://davidsemakula.com/static/images/ink-analyzer/w3f/architecture.png "ink! Analyzer - LSP based Architecture Diagram") \*Figure 1: ink! Analyzer - LSP based Architecture Diagram\* These two components (i.e. the \[semantic analyzer\]\[semantic-analyzer\] and \[language server\]\[lsp-server\]) can be reused to add ink! language support to multiple IDEs, code editors and other development tools. In particular, a large number of IDEs and code editors support LSP servers, these include \[Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Vim / Neovim, Emacs, Atom, Sublime Text, Acme, Lapce, Eclipse and many more\]\[lsp-tools\]. \[semantic-analyzer\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer/ink-analyzer/tree/master/crates/analyzer \[lsp-server\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer/ink-analyzer/tree/master/crates/lsp-server \[vs-code-extension\]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ink-analyzer.ink-analyzer \[LSP\]: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/ \[lsp-tools\]: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/tools/ Therefore, ink! analyzer makes it relatively easy for: - Users to enable ink! language support for their IDE, code editor or other development tool if it has either a native/built-in or third-party LSP client that can be configured to launch an LSP server using an executable command (i.e. the path to an \[installed ink! Language Server binary\]\[lsp-server-install\]) and can use stdio (standard in/standard out) as the message transport. - Developers to either build extensions/plugins/integrations that add ink! language support to any tool with robust LSP client libraries/APIs/modules, or add first-class ink! language support to an existing LSP client (e.g. an open-source extension/plugin/integration). \[lsp-server-install\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer/ink-analyzer/tree/master/crates/lsp-server#installation The latter option typically provides a better user experience as the user doesn't have to manually install (and update) the ink! Language Server as it can be bundled (or installed/updated) by the extension/plugin/integration. The \[Visual Studio Code extension\]\[vs-code-extension\] serves as a showcase and \[reference implementation\]\[vs-code-extension-src\] for this use case/approach. However, ink! analyzer also \[distributes compiled ink! Language Server (\`ink-lsp-server\`) binaries for most of the major platforms/architectures\]\[ink-lsp-server-releases\] for non-VS Code users and developers. \[vs-code-extension-src\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer/ink-vscode \[ink-lsp-server-releases\]: https://github.com/ink-analyzer/ink-analyzer/releases \*\*NOTE:\*\* While the first version of the \[ink! analyzer VS Code extension\]\[vs-code-extension\] was released in Aug/2023, work on the core components (i.e. \[semantic analyzer\]\[semantic-analyzer\] and \[language server\]\[lsp-server\]) started well before in Mar/2023. ## Proposal Ask This treasury proposal requests \*retroactive funding\* for adding \[ink! v5\]\[ink-v5\] support to ink! analyzer.

However, work on ink! v5 support in ink! analyzer started well before the official ink! v5 release. \[w3f-grants\]: https://grants.web3.foundation/ ## Why not Wasm Smart Contracts Bounty / ink!ubator ? Historically, as noted above, all previous work for ink! analyzer was funded by \[Web3 Foundation technical grants\]\[w3f-grants\]. This is partly because \[development of ink! analyzer kicked off in Mar/2023\]\[ink-analyzer-pr\], while the \[ink!ubator: Ecosystem Grants\]\[inkubator-grants\] program \[only started receiving grant applications around ~May/2023\]\[inkubator-pr\] (note that discussions for the \[Wasm Smart Contracts Bounty\]\[wasm-bounty\] started well before this though). In the present, with \[ink!ubator being an incubation program following a cohort schedule\]\[inkubator\], and ink! analyzer now being a relatively mature project with some meaningful adoption, the need to support new \[ink! features and syntax\]\[ink-v5\] as close to release as possible (hence the choice of retroactive funding), means the ink!ubator cohort schedule is not a good fit for this stage of the project. \[ink-analyzer-pr\]: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1615 \[inkubator\]: https://use.ink/ubator \[inkubator-grants\]: https://github.com/use-inkubator/Ecosystem-Grants \[inkubator-pr\]: https://github.com/use-inkubator/Ecosystem-Grants/pull/7 \[wasm-bounty\]: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/19 ## More about the author.

**What is the Situation?**

Despite its market-leading technology, Polkadot is often overlooked by institutions due to a limited presence in institutional circles and insufficiently accessible or well-presented blockchain data and metrics for DOT.

The Tie has a proven track record working with token issuers to increase institutional exposure and access to leading traditional and crypto-native hedge funds asset managers, banks, VCs, liquidity providers, trading venues, and other institutional market participants.

**What is the Solution?**

The Tie will partner with the Polkadot ecosystem to drive increased exposure to institutions by providing a **series of curated institutional access services and building meaningful analytics on Polkadot for wide-spread distribution.**

As part of our partnership, The Tie will provide the following:

A person is asking for a $250,000 reward to help pay for legal fees to sue a company called Giotto. They want to know if others agree with this idea. They don't want anything for themselves and just want to stay anonymous. They hope others will help figure out how to set up the reward if it is approved.

A $250,000 bounty for legal fees. I suggest we approve a bounty that can pay for the legal fees to sue Giotto after recent events. I have no plan about the curator or whatever to this bounty. The eco can figure all that out if this gets approved, I have no idea how it works anyway. This is just to test the water on how the eco feels about this idea and set up the bounty if approved. I don't want anything out of this personally just to remain anonymous. I don't want to be involved beyond this referendum. Good luck.

WHO: The proposal author and the eco community.
