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

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.

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.
