### Summary
- This proposal aims to simplify Polkadot's address format to improve user experience.
- Currently, there are over 150 different address formats, causing confusion.
- The plan is to use a single address format (Prefix:0) for all compatible chains.
- This will help users easily recognize their accounts across different chains.

### Benefits
- Simplifies user experience.
- Reduces confusion and risk of sending assets to the wrong chain.
- Streamlines development for builders.

### Implementation
- Guides and tools will be created to help with the transition.
- Wallets, dApps, and exchanges will be updated to support the new format.

### Impact
- This change will make the Polkadot ecosystem more user-friendly and accessible.

### Summary of Gavin Wood's Inflation Proposal for Polkadot

1. **Inflation Model**: Gavin Wood proposed a model where inflation is set at 10% of the difference between the maximum supply and the current supply. This ensures gradual inflation without ever reaching the maximum supply.

2. **Example Calculation**:
   - **First Year**: 10% of the difference between 3,141,590,000 (Pi) and 1,500,000,000 results in 164,159,000 new $DOT.
   - **Second Year**: 10% of the new difference results in 147,743,100 new $DOT.

3. **Advantages**:
   - **Clear Path**: Provides a clear and stable inflation path for the next 5-10 years, reducing uncertainty.
   - **Investor Trust**: Assures investors that the supply will not double every 7 years, boosting confidence.
   - **Self-Sufficient**: Does not require yearly updates or changes, unlike other proposals.

4. **Proposed Change**: The author suggests using Euler's number (2.71828) instead of Pi for the maximum supply, aiming for a slightly lower inflation rate.

5. **Voting**: The proposal aims to gain community support and, if approved, will compete with other proposals like WFC #1139.

6. **Mathematical Context**: Euler's number (e) is a mathematical constant used in various fields, including calculus and probability theory.

7. **Investor Impact**: The proposal aims to calm investor fears about rapid supply increases and provide a clear, optimistic outlook.

### Polkadot-Typed-API Library Proposal

1. **Purpose**: The proposal seeks funding to enhance the **polkadot-typed-api** library, aiming to make development in the Polkadot ecosystem more convenient and safer through precise typing.

2. **Description**: The library wraps existing Polkadot API calls with typed functions, reducing errors and simplifying development.

3. **Current Progress**: Currently covers 5% of available methods, with a focus on 20% of query calls. Plans to reach 50% coverage for query calls by 2024 and 100% by 2025.

4. **Challenges**: Detailed study of transaction calls is time-consuming but essential for comprehensive analysis.

5. **Update**: Development direction shifted to dynamic type generation for real-time adaptation to API changes. Plans to complete reading methods by 2024 and transaction methods by Q1 2025.

6. **Impact**: The library will simplify API interaction, increase code security, accelerate development, and attract more developers to the Polkadot ecosystem.

7. **Community Benefits**: Easier access to typed data will support new developers, foster collaboration, and contribute to the growth of the Polkadot community.

8. **Conclusion**: The proposal requests modest funding to continue improving the Polkadot ecosystem by enhancing developer support and code quality.

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.
