- Now, many people help manage it, including a group called the Editorial Board (EB) with 7 members.
- The EB members are experts in different areas like marketing and content creation.
- They work for 6 months, and later, community members will vote for new ones.
- The EB aims to improve how Polkadot communicates with everyone.

The Social Media Editorial Board (EB) will manage Polkadot's social media accounts. The W3F has delegated access to the EB via Evan (ET Public). Evan received a Decentralized Futures grant to create, setup, run and ensure the success of the concept. The requested allocation is 9426 ($90K EMA7 Price: $9.548) + 42 DOT for multisig creation and identity verification reimbursement to the proposer. The funds will be paid to a multisig controlled by all 7 members + the Auxiliary. The funds will then be distributed to 6 of the 7 EB members.

This proposal is about getting money to make weekly reports for Polkadot's P2P network. The ProbeLab team, which has worked with Protocol Labs for a long time, will make these reports. They have a lot of experience with libp2p and have helped it a lot.

The team collects data using a tool called Nebula Crawler. The reports will show how the network is doing and can be found on their website, probelab.io. The money for this project will be given by the Open Impact Foundation, which wants to help ProbeLab make the network better for Polkadot.

The ProbeLab team has been working on this for over a year and has paid for everything so far. They need help from the Polkadot community to keep doing this work. The cost for the reports is $20,000 to set up and $2,500 per month (or $30,000 per year). This money will be used to run the website, update the tools, and have an expert check the results every week. They will also post the reports on the Polkadot forum.

If you have any questions, you can ask @yiannisbot or contact ProbeLab through their website. The Open Impact Foundation is a charity that helps with digital public goods and supports libp2p.

This proposal seeks funding to create and publish weekly reports for Polkadot’s P2P network (prior forum discussion [here](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/proposal-polkadot-p2p-network-health-weekly-reports/5094) ). The ProbeLab team, which has incubated at Protocol Labs for many years, has extensive experience with libp2p and has contributed significantly to libp2p over the years.

The team is focusing on network-layer measurements with the majority of the results published at: [https://probelab.io](url). In alignment with this endeavor, the grants for this project will be facilitated through the [Open Impact Foundation](https://openimpact.foundation/)\*. OIF is committed to supporting ProbeLab in their efforts and depend on this funding to enable their valuable work in enhancing network transparency and efficiency for the Polkadot ecosystem. 

-   The data to produce Weekly Reports are collected using [ProbeLab’s Nebula Crawler](https://github.com/dennis-tra/nebula).
    
-   A detailed description of what Weekly Reports show can be found in [this forum post](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/proposal-polkadot-p2p-network-health-weekly-reports/5094).
    
-   A sample weekly report for the Polkadot network can be found in [this GH repo](https://github.com/probe-lab/network-measurements/blob/master/reports/2023/calendar-week-41/polkadot/README.md).
    

**Cost** The ProbeLab Team has set up and been gathering results for the Polkadot network for over 12 months. The infrastructure cost has so far been covered by the ProbeLab team. Going forward, the ProbeLab team can only continue crawling the network if we have support from the Polkadot community.

**Cost:**

The cost associated with the services for the weekly reports are as follows:

-   One off setup fee: $20k to have results on [https://probelab.io](https://probelab.io)
    
-   The difference between this cost and the $5k mentioned [in the forum](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/proposal-polkadot-p2p-network-health-weekly-reports/5094) post is that the price has been referring to reports posted on GH, where plots are static. In the meantime, we’re migrating everything [https://probelab.io](https://probelab.io) where plots are dynamic (several extra options built in when generating plots with plotly - see already existing results at probelab.io compared to the [sample Polkadot report](https://github.com/probe-lab/network-measurements/blob/master/reports/2023/calendar-week-41/polkadot/README.md) in GH).
    
-   Monthly cost: $2.5k (billed annually at $30k)
    

What is included in the fee:

-   running and covering the cost of the infrastructure,
    
-   maintaining and updating the tools and infrastructure as needed (e.g., dependency updates and database maintenance),
    
-   an expert from our group will inspect the results on a weekly basis and flag any “notable” items that need further attention.
    
-   posting the weekly report together with any “notable” items in the Polkadot forum of preference.
    

The responsible person to answer technical queries related to this proposal is [@yiannisbot](https://forum.polkadot.network/u/yiannisbot/summary "@yiannisbot"). The ProbeLab team can be reached through the contact details given at: [https://probelab.io/about](https://probelab.io/about)

Polkadot Advertising Campaign on Brave Browser - Top-Up Request 

Our team just finished a big project that cost 250,000 and we almost ran out of money. We think we should always have at least 500,000 to make sure we can keep working on marketing. We want to spend more money on marketing in the future to get more people to know about us. We also want to work with big airports in important cities, but we need to pay them many months in advance. So, we need to have some extra money saved up. We are asking for 500,000 more. You can see all our spending and work at this link: https://bit.ly/m/reports

We just got executed for a refill of 250k and we barely made it before the spending period I believe the marketing bounty should always have a reserve of min 500K to avoid risk of interrupting marketing We expect spending to increase in the coming months and we want to try to take every opportunity for increased exposure during the coming bull market We are also going to do deals with airports in key cities which have to be paid many months in advance and cannot be paid on a month to month basis so it requires some reserves I am requesting a refill of 500k DOT All reports regarding expenses and deliveries will always be available at the following link: https://bit.ly/m/reports

WHO: Unspecified group/individual
WHAT: Requesting a refill of 500k DOT to maintain a reserve for marketing bounties, increase spending, and pay for deals with airports in key cities.

Open HRMP Channels between AssetHub and Mythos

The P<>K bridge is a system that connects different blockchains and charges user fees. It pays rewards to people who help it work, called "relayer rewards." These rewards are a big part of the bridge's costs. To start, the bridge needs some money to begin working. They suggest giving 10100 DOT and 2030 KSM to the bridge's accounts. This money will help the bridge get started. As the bridge works, it will make enough money from user fees to pay for the rewards. Any extra money will go back to the treasury. You can find more details about the bridge's accounts and money here: https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/issues/238. The bridge has already been approved by a group called https://collectives.subsquare.io/fellowship/referenda/88.

whitelisted_caller

The P<>K bridge charges user fees on originating Asset Hub, but it pays relayer rewards from AssetHubs' sovereign accounts on sibling BridgeHub parachains. These relayer rewards are a large part of the bridge's "operating costs". For initial deployment, AssetHub's sovereign accounts on BridgeHubs should be pre-funded by treasury. An initial 10100 DOT and 2030 KSM is proposed to be split among the relevant system chain sovereign accounts to provide initial bootstrap runway to the bridge. This will only be an initial seed. As the bridge operates, it should cover operation costs (relayer fees) from the user fees paid on Asset Hub, and any unspent user fees ("bridge profits") are going to the treasury anyway, so in the longer term these funds are practically paid back (plus profits). Exact system chain addresses being funded and amounts for each can be found here: https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/issues/238 Already whitelisted by https://collectives.subsquare.io/fellowship/referenda/88

WHO: P<>K Bridge

WHAT: Proposes an initial funding of 10100 DOT and 2030 KSM to be split among system chain sovereign accounts for initial deployment. 

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: The funding will be pre-funded by the treasury and will only be an initial seed. The bridge will cover operation costs from user fees paid on Asset Hub.

RegionX is a project that helps teams save money when using the Polkadot network. Here are the key points:

- RegionX reduces costs for current and new projects on Polkadot.
- Polkadot lets projects run by reserving time on computers called cores.
- There are two ways to get this time: Bulk Coretime (for planning ahead) and Instantaneous Coretime (for immediate needs).
- Bulk Coretime can be traded as special tokens called NFTs.
- RegionX will create a marketplace for trading these time tokens.
- The marketplace will allow more flexible options for teams to get the time they need.
- It will also help teams that do not have lots of money to start their projects.  
- The project aims to make it easier for everyone to use Polkadot by promoting fair trading of Coretime.

RegionX proposes a marketplace for trading Coretime on the Polkadot network, offering more flexible procurement methods for existing and new projects. The marketplace will enable the trading of Coretime regions, with a variety of properties, including active and inactive regions. The project aims to reduce deployment and operational costs for projects on Polkadot, enabling more teams to bring their projects to production. The proposal includes three main components: the core of the market, order processor, and reward system. The project will attract Coretime traders, who will compete to make the best offers for Coretime procurement.
