Polkadot Music Events Initiative (PMEI) is a team that plans to create web3 experiences at music events during major crypto conferences. They want to show off Polkadot technology and make it fun for everyone. 

In 2024 and 2025, PMEI will organize events at different places like Denver, Dubai, Austin, and Amsterdam. They will have live music and let people try out new technology. They also want to work with other teams to make these events even better.

PMEI had a successful event in September 2023 and now they are asking for more support to keep going. They have a plan to make money from these events, so they won't need too much help from others in the future.

The team behind PMEI has experience in music, events, and technology. They will work together to make these events great. They also have friends in the business who will help out.

PMEI wants to make these events different from others by making it easy for people to join and have fun. They will give away cool stuff and let people try new things with Polkadot technology. They will also make sure to tell everyone how the events are going and what they can do better next time.

If you have any ideas or want to help, you can contact them at hello@polkadotmusic.events.

Proposal: Polkadot Music Events Initiative Tranche 1

\[2024-2025\]

PMEI is a team of developers, music industry entrepreneurs and live events coordinators focused on creating intuitive web3 experiences within the context of side events during major crypto conferences.

[polkadotmusic.events](https://www.polkadotmusic.events/) 

Proponent: Polkadot Music Events Initiative

Beneficiary: Polkadot Music Events Initiative

Date of Proposal: December, 2023

Requested: $1.241M @ [7 day Avg. Tool](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price) |  176,852 DOT

Full budget [here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nujhqqz1f2EE7l5qkeDGNuL8pdc2uyiZRoTkDyEP7fg/edit?usp=sharing)

This proposal is for Tranche 1 of 2. Tranche 1  is proposed for six large events taking place in 2024. Tranche 2 will also be for six events in 2025. Throughout the next two years we will be sourcing viable technical integrations and collaborating with teams to build and then launch for our events. To keep everyone tied in, we will be producing content to document the story around the build.

PMEI held a proof-of-concept event during Mainnet in September which was a huge success (1500+ users engaging with Polkadot tech). We are now asking for community support to continue our initiative to add value for DOT holders.

Sustainable Economics

PMEI and Walker Music have created a runway for introducing new brand partners, paid partnerships and ticketed event models that can be used as a lever to generate revenues and make PMEI a sustainable series, eventually requiring little to no treasury funding. 

The strategy behind this model is to bridge opportunities for the ecosystem where outside brands can work together with Polkadot teams. A sensible outcome would be brand collaboration beyond the events creating ongoing usability. 

Context 

On many levels, music is an incredible vertical where blockchain can solve real world issues and create a higher quality and more equitable outcome for the fans and the artists. Polkadot should, and can be a phenomenal arena for music in web3 to grow and incubate necessary advances in technology and culture, alike. Many Polkadot projects already have products that can actively help advance this, directly and immediately, through the experience around live music events. 

We think of these events as a clever way to accomplish a few things that are ultimately required for the growth of the ecosystem- more specifically onboarding new users, new entrepreneurs and new developers. 

**How are we accomplishing this?**

Glad you asked! Each event will focus on three key elements to funnel into our larger goal for adoption and usage. 

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/WxBOGwMPUJAts-8vtab4UDsZdmyyWOrc2JiXMIwGaU6bSVG7AB4rmkFGofeA0_-yRQCYQ91Eim9JS39vfky8ibnEtiA63k4FsBduvHERS2aMAcGY8Y_bVJojWWrfE2AWtA-dfo-C054qS3kNn2Qfgbg)

Accessibility - Prioritizing an intuitive experience for ALL attendees

Hard and Fast Implementation - UX/ UI build outs and backend implementation specific to the event series. This will give developers a chance to work together on specific business needs surrounding the events and engage more use cases for XCM. 

Ownership and Perpetuity - A focus on creating brand loyalty through community, collectibles, cross-ecosystem collaboration and compounded benefits for ongoing/ repeat attendance. 

These three principles help us define the conditions for success and measure qualitative and quantitative outcomes. 

For our events, the goal is to take measurable and attainable steps in implementing new attendee experiences and advancing the music tech stack.   

Accountability 

As a passionate team of people striving to better the ecosystem, we firmly believe it is important to have complete transparency and uphold accountability for the efforts associated with the Polkadot Music Events Initiative. Our objective with this is to provide the community with reporting for engagement, attendance, successes and failures. We will encourage anyone with the same passion and principles, building in the ecosystem, to connect with us for open collaboration, ideation and to provide critique. 

Who is on the team?

PMEI has core members dedicated to the curation, planning and execution of all twelve events. In addition to these core members, partner teams will provide direct support and resources to create successful outcomes.

The Core Team

Spencer Zabiela:  Co-founder of MuFi, a music and royalty payments tech stack built on Polkadot. 11 + years of experience in the music industry. Spencer also has a background in media and financial services and has been a long time participant of the nightlife community and event organizing (most recently the September 19th Mainnet side event with Exiled Racers and Zeitgeist). 

Walker Music (Jojo Walker):  WM consists of four full-time coordinators, led by Jojo Walker. Jojo is a music industry entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience as a talent buyer and coordinator for the largest global nightlife brands, venues and labels, including Defected Records, Keinemusik, Boiler Room and Avant Gardner/ Brooklyn Mirage.

Er-Ti Chen: formerly the Ecosystem Marketing Manager and Global Event Program Manager at Parity Technologies. She has been instrumental in pioneering Polkadot's ecosystem marketing efforts and shaping the global event strategies for Polkadot Ecosystem. She has both spearheaded and provided invaluable support to the Polkadot community in orchestrating successful events throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.

Full-Time Dev/ Technical Success Manager: This will be a hybrid role and is yet to be hired. The responsibilities for this job will include full-stack development and technical success; working with parachain teams and dapps on strong collaborative outcomes. This candidate will also be managing the communications across entities, and technical expectations between team integrations and Walker Music Services. 

Direct Support Team

WebZero: WebZero is a community-run event agency which emerged during Berlin Blockchain Week in 2022 and has been a fixture in the Polkadot ecosystem ever since. The team around XyloDrone (Ordum, prev. RMRK, Kodadot), Roman Kemper (prev. CMO Subsquid) and Elisabeth Vajner (Amsterdot, Parisdot, prev. HydraDX) produced side events in the US (ETH Denver, Consensus) and Europe (Sub0, Decoded, BlockSplit, Berlin Blockchain Week) with the aim to raise awareness around Polkadot, as well as bringing the community together.

Exiled Studios: Gaming and prediction layer. Exiled Studios will provide technical support, marketing resources and BD support. 

What does the team do?

Each member will be focused on specific ongoing needs such as talent buying (booking) and advancing (logistics), venue coordination and permitting, show production (equipment rental, staff, logistics), marketing and promotions, partnership visibility (with conference organizers), tech implementations (with Polkadot teams), and events management (operations). 

There are seven unique event locations of which PMEI has decade-long relationships with local promoters in each region who can help supplement local attendance. We are really excited by this resource as it proved extremely helpful for our pilot event during Mainnet in September of 2023.

Additional Support

In addition to the core team and support team, we have additional support from a list of incredible builders in the space. We’ve spent time speaking with these teams and individuals to get their feedback on our proposal and understand what we can do to achieve better quantitative and qualitative outcomes within the context of our event series.

These teams/ individuals included are:

RMRK 

Zeitgeist

Subsocial

Moonbeam Network

Moonbeans

Amplified Strategy 

Distractive

MuFi

Drop

Peter Mauric

Prime Protocol

API3

Bearfoot Media

Ex Machina Soundworks

We are always continuing to build new ecosystem partnerships and solidify brand and conference engagements. We will post updates here.

If you have an idea for a technical integration, please write us here:

hello@polkadotmusic.events

Messaging

Every conference has side events, so what makes ours worth attending? 

For one, we are booking top-tier talent curated to each event’s demographic. The reality is, money alone can’t buy you major talent for an event- and certainly not at a fair market rate. Our team has fostered long-held, trusted relationships with artist managers and management companies which allows us to produce these events with great talent at a fair cost. These events will also almost always include specific asks to artist teams that may require more complex logistics potentially affecting an artists' existing brand image or strategy. Communicating the event needs and interactions beyond playing music requires careful handling and experienced talent buying; a task that Walker Music does best.

Secondly, we are also giving outside music brands an opportunity to give away gear and leverage Polkadot tech! That means attendees will have a chance to win cool swag, synths, headphones etc. all for participating in these events. 

Lastly, we’re working with Polkadot teams to distribute event collectibles (like Moonbeans), push limited NFT artist drops (with Drop), access prediction games (like Exiled Racers w/ Zeitgeist) and RSVP and gain access (using RMRK x MuFi). All of these initial integrations encourage and/ or require attendees to engage with new onboarding flows! 

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/74HhzsKVbQN_GxVcIfFucMkOsxd3MuBqL_KhXfrqEj1vsr-708DvvlgsMNFvTEQplw9bazh11FzWpj82Xc0py4zQ8vu383Y-ThfT8f1jEKf2ExwrskTQ9CvDjTYcX8IsFAZJDFiIO6h5bpEw4Qdw0qY)

During selected events, we’re also going to provide space at or near the venue for developers, teams and participants to take meetings and have a workspace. We’re creating a Polkadot resource hub that exists not only for the night of the event, but for the days during the conference. 

Marketing Strategy

We have been working within our network and with Amplified Strategy to create direct relationships with each conference to designate the PMEI events as official conference events. The marketing success for our Mainnet side event was seen through cross-network promotion and brand partnerships. With the support of our partner teams, many telegram channels and conference partnerships, we have a high probability of getting the desired attendance. 

PMEI will also deliver ongoing content around each event to provide updates and recaps, with more transparency for the community, sparking interest for those who could not attend. These videos will not only include recaps, but developer stories to showcase the teams building out integrations. Why was it a success? What failed?

Our storytelling and video team is Basis Creative. Please view their work [here.](https://www.basiscreativefilm.com/)

As mentioned previously, we have long-standing relationships with local promoters in almost all of these proposed regions. PMEI distinctly seeks to attract attendees with no prior experience with web3. These events can simply act as a gateway for those attendees and spark curiosity.

How is it different from other events? 

These events are focused on creating intuitive web3 onboarding experiences within the context of side events during major crypto conferences. The $30,000 technical implementation budget is granted to teams adding developer resources to a new PMEI event experience.

Past Events- Mainnet Pilot

Pilot Event video [here](https://vimeo.com/871997397/b900de9dc9?share=copy).

Our pilot event was on September 19th 2023, billed as an unofficial Mainnet side event. We worked with Polkadot, Exiled Racers, Zeitgeist, MuFi and a list of other Polkadot ecosystem dApps to host, what turned out to be, a 750 person event on the Williamsburg Hotel Roof. 

Our headliners and supporting acts were:

This first event was a great measure of the scale of production and resources required. It also gave us an opportunity to evaluate key areas where we can be more capital efficient, where a core team is working across multiple events rather than one-off events. In total, our first event was ~$110K which you can see a breakdown for below in item 1a. 

One additional thing to note is that many vendor fees, location allowance, etc. were reduced, or negotiated for free, given that the event was held in NYC where most of the PMEI team is located. It goes without saying, but we will still say it: We will always negotiate for the best value and the lowest fee. 

Based on these numbers, we’ve estimated pricing in each additional market.

Polkadot Music Events Initiative - onboarding fans, artists and builders to Polkadot through music

Dune is a popular platform for creating shareable dashboards used by many people in the Web3 ecosystem. It is better at sharing on-chain data than block explorers or expensive dashboards. Colorful Notion wants to bring Polkadot and Kusama data onto Dune by mid-March 2024. This will help the community use the data for blockchain analytics and marketing. They have already made a proof of concept Polkadot dashboard on Dune. The proposal asks for 325,000 DOT ($1,968,200) to fund the first year of the project. Colorful Notion is a team led by Sourabh Niyogi and Michael Chung, who have been active in the Polkadot ecosystem. They plan to continue developing dashboards and integrating more data from Polkadot and Kusama in 2024.

Executed

\[Dune\](https://dune.com/browse/dashboards) is the industry leader in highly shareable dashboards widely used by industry leaders, data analysts, marketers, and builders across the broader Web3 ecosystem. For example here is \[Brian Armstrong sharing a Dune dashboard about Base\](https://twitter.com/brian\_armstrong/status/1690158283632586752), compared to \[Moonbeam sharing dolpha.com\](https://twitter.com/MoonbeamNetwork/status/1702721492834755061), \[Astar sharing subscan\](https://twitter.com/WatanabeSota/status/1731863081943277787) or \[Polkadot sharing DotLake\](https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1722980186189070760):

Common to the above is that Web3 ecosystem participants want to share on-chain data, which Dune is optimized for, better than a block explorer (\[Subscan - #311\](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/311)) or expensive dashboards (\[Dolpha.com - #341\](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/341)). Colorful Notion has built \[substrate-etl - #248\](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/248), here proposed to be ingested by Dune as \*substrate-etl 2.0\* in 2024. ## Proposal - Onboard Polkadot + Kusama Data on Dune (12 months, 3/15/24-3/14/25) Colorful Notion proposes to onboard the Polkadot + Kusama relay chains by mid-March 2024, available for the community for at least \_2 years\_. This proposal funds the \_first\_ year after a PoC is completed in early 2024, for 3/15/24 - 3/14/25. Onboarding Polkadot will be Dune’s second non-EVM ecosystem integration, after Solana. Separate from this OpenGov proposal, Colorful Notion has negotiated pricing for all parachains with Dune, beyond the Polkadot and Kusama Relay Chain. This will enable Polkadot + Kusama Substrate data to be represented in Dune for both relay chains (using "polkadot" and "kusama") and all Polkadot parachains in an official integration with hourly indexing. # Demonstration: Polkadot Staking Dashboard In December 2023, Colorful Notion developed a proof of concept with key Dune engineers for the Polkadot Relay Chain with a few representative datasets. Here is one of the first Polkadot dashboards built in Dune: \[https://dev.dune.com/mkchungs/polkadot-staking-validator\](https://dev.dune.com/mkchungs/polkadot-staking-validator) ![Polkadot](https://cdn.polkaholic.io/366/366-staking.png) Once data is ingested from Colorful Notion’s substrate-etl into Dune, this dashboard can be rapidly constructed within a couple hours from SQL knowledgeable engineers such as Colorful Notion cofounder \[@mkchungs\](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/user/mkchungs). Here is one query: ![Polkadot](https://cdn.polkaholic.io/366/366-staking-rewards.png) Any on-chain dataset from Polkadot or Kusama involves writing a query such as the against some substrate-etl 2.0 dataset. Colorful Notion’s commercial terms have been developed to allow for a certain amount of storage ingesting a certain number of chains so that “Dune wizards” can query these tables, views, and materialized views and produce shareable charts like the above. Everyone with a Dune account can query and build these dashboards in Dune. While Google BigQuery can be connected to open source Apache Superset (and we have, see our W3F grant work on \[Deep Account Analytics\](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1286) and inkubator-supported \[ChainIDE + Polkaholic.io WASM Contract Explorer Integration\](https://github.com/use-inkubator/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/blob/master/deliveries/chainide-polkaholic-integrated-wasm-contract-explorer-integration-milestone\_1.md)), Dune is more usable and more shareable. Whereas much of 2022 involved developing Polkaholic.io and 2023 involved substrate-etl 1.0 bringing data into Google BigQuery, Colorful Notion will have 2024 involve robust ingestion of Polkadot and Kusama data into Dune and ensuring the community can use it to support blockchain analytics and marketing. # Proposal Details \[Full Proposal\](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMpD152JmvHm6O9Q76TlF8GR1O\_FRJydjf7bndClj-k/edit) \[Cost Breakdown\](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c7-3kdfAjWdtWTkx2anEQgYpToUiWo3vav1WrapFuEI/edit#gid=1479719106) \[Slides\](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wulreQof9V7QwCTuJZ9e64eDHhzAtqTS/edit#slide=id.g2a79f725924\_0\_8) \*\*Requested Amount:\*\* 325,000 DOT \[$1,968,200\] # December 2023 Decision For DOT Tokenholders: Dune Now or late 2024? Colorful Notion has been advocating a Polkadot Data Alliance Bounty along with Parity Data throughout much of 2023 (see \[this from CN\](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ryC6dxcd9tiQsB7KiCc2BY\_TwBJ5jKloGfCyVAGCkKo/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs) and \[this from Parity Data\](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fA5ARHy-frzgZC66rniKZ5o7CSbDvCTkS--kWaMzuMs/edit#heading=h.foftxwdr3st2)). In November, we finally decided to submit #248 and reach out to Dune as an outstanding goal of both teams. From the DOT Tokenholder point of view, once it is accepted that an ecosystem wide Dune integration is desirable and both teams are competent (as we do), we believe the decision is largely a tradeoff between Dune NOW vs Dune LATER: ![Polkadot](https://cdn.polkaholic.io/366/decision.png) A simplified comparison is as follows: ![Polkadot](https://cdn.polkaholic.io/366/366-comparison.png) Which boils down to the following choice: \* If you believe you want a Dune Integration NOW (early 2024), vote Aye on #366. \* If you believe you want a Dune Integration LATER (or don’t want it at all), vote Nay on #366. We believe the answer is to integrate Dune NOW to support marketing and general ecosystem growth. # About Colorful Notion Colorful Notion is led by \[Sourabh Niyogi\](https://forum.polkadot.network/u/sourabhniyogi) and \[Michael Chung\](https://forum.polkadot.network/u/mkchungs). We have been active in the Polkadot ecosystem over the last 2 years and look forward to building with others in Polkadot 2.0’s “map reduce” ubiquitous computing future. ## Updates \* 12/21/2023 - \[AAG #93 - et-l brute?\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jlA51DLz2o) \* 12/22/2023 - PoC of Polkadot Relay Chain completed -- see \[Polkadot Proof-of-Concept Dashboard\](https://dune.com/sourabhniyogi/polkadot-proof-of-concept) \* 1/3/2024 - Happy New Year 2024!

Colorful Notion proposes to onboard the Polkadot + Kusama relay chains to Dune, an industry leader in highly shareable dashboards, for at least 2 years. The proposal funds the first year after a PoC is completed in early 2024, for 3/15/24 - 3/14/25, for a requested amount of 325,000 DOT [$1,968,200]. The integration is desirable for marketing and general ecosystem growth.

**Introduction:**

WagMedia decentralizes the story of Dotsama by incentivizing stakeholders to curate, share, create, and promote content of all languages in an open and transparent manner.

Founded in December 2021, WagMedia (WM) addresses the Dotsama information distribution problem as it seeks to counter the diminishing ability of network participants to make informed decisions as the network grows. To achieve this, WM incentivizes individuals to discover, develop, and distribute network-related content.

WM units have funded the creation of hundreds of original content from a large and diverse group of independent creators. For example, from January through July 2023, 69 unique creators produced a total of 496 original content through the Paraverse Content Creators unit. Similarly, the NFT Content Creation Guild has funded the production of 177 original content from December 2022 through July 2023. WM Bounty #12 (prior to the spin-off of the guilds) generated over 1,600 original content from June through December 2022.

Here’s a selection of standout pieces of content from WM:

-   Csaint’s take on Polkadot 2.0 is without a doubt one of the most well-received threads covering Polkadot on x (formerly Twitter).

**Problem Statements:**

At the time of writing, there are multiple content and marketing proposals going through OpenGov with more to be expected. This raises concerns about balancing upfront spending with quality, inclusion, and fair compensation. Centralized content creation and marketing tend to push narratives based on one group's point of view. This can result in faulty marketing that does not appeal to the public at large. There are limited options when it comes to nurturing media talent that focuses on Polkadot. The over-reliance on single influencers and figures can lead to a narrow, centralized view of Polkadot, limiting the diversity of perspectives available to users and the retail community.

Implementing a structured approach to nurture these new voices, micro-influencers, and ecosystem agents is essential to address this. This approach will not only diversify the range of viewpoints about Polkadot but also mitigate the undue influence of any single figure on the community's perception. By constantly funneling in new figures, we can ensure a continuous and dynamic presence of diverse voices, also preventing any vacuum created by the absence of established figures. This is one of the key value propositions offered by WM.

**Solutions:**

WM has a proven track record of being the answer to the problems that have been stated. WM has successfully incentivized a diverse group of independent creators to produce content that add value to the Polkadot ecosystem by holding the funds approved by OpenGov in escrow and distributing them “retroactively” to creators based on the quality of content. Quality is addressed by direct feedback on style, accuracy of information, and direction on trends. Those who continually respond to feedback enjoy better rewards, exposure, and reach with their content. Additionally, the writer’s room allows for peer review, with fellow creators receiving minor rewards for providing feedback or making edits to drafts. In terms of inclusion, WM is open to all, this includes smaller creators, those new to the ecosystem, natives who want to get involved, aspiring creators, or even those who have limited time. Contributors will not need to raise their own OpenGov proposal. WM has supported 18+ non-Anglo languages, including German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Romanian, Portuguese, Japanese, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Czech, Filipino, Thai, Mongolian, and Vietnamese. The tiering system along with every piece of content posted being appraised will allow for fair compensation being rewarded. Contributors can work their way from a tier 3 creator to the converted role of a tier 1 creator. Each tier increases the percentage awarded, thus, incentivizing creators to up their game. Coverage of the ecosystem updates is done by individual creators, each with their own unique perspective and voice. This variety helps to successfully capture the attention of ever-growing audiences, as well as alleviates centralized narratives. WM allows those without support or direction find their unique voice and eventually become confident, independent creators able to support themselves or appeal directly to the token holders through OpenGov for their own proposals.

**WagMedia Team:**

[ikhaled](https://twitter.com/ikhaled28) will be responsible for the general admin, Website development as Product owner and tester, and the translation program. He continues his duties as the administrator of WM, and was one of the original directors to run WM. Also an active member of the Kusama Kingdom.

[Goku](https://twitter.com/0xgoku_) will lead the content program and shall be supported by sub-directors who are already evaluating content. He is a senior Polkadot Ambassador, a member of ChaosDAO, and the existing director of the Paraverse Content Creators Unit.

[Vampsy](https://twitter.com/vampsyfear) will manage the treasury as well as do the monthly reporting. He is a member of the Kusama Kingdom and an economist.

**[Dodow](https://twitter.com/fashionistawong) will run the sourced news finders program, as well as be the chief editor of the WM newsletter. He was one of the original directors elevated to run WM. Also a member of ChaosDAO and Kusama Kingdom.**

The [full proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LOD5_vqoDPQEmYR4GthRPPQMlBptFwkePPPdtWiscyM/edit) explains the following points in depth and we encourage everyone to read the proposal for understanding the goals and achievements we want to accomplish via this proposal.

**Campaign details:**

The main focus of this campaign is to highlight all key posts and news coming out of the Polkadot ecosystem with the help of KOLs, aiming to get people talking about Polkadot organically.

We have a list of 50 leading web3 KOLs ready to amplify the latest news by reposting or quote posting on all the posts on X.

The reposts will be carefully chosen by the Lunar Strategy team and the Polkadot community, along with carefully written guidelines for all quote reposts.

**Why should we fund this project right now?**

There is a time to build and a time to promote; now it's time to promote. The market sentiment has shifted, and multiple L1 treasuries are deploying capital into the growth and education of new users about actual use cases, including examples of projects building.

They are doing this very effectively with organized campaigns around narratives like "DeFi summer on Solana," etc., which tell a strong story and help onboard new users, establishing more credibility.

Polkadot is one of the strongest ecosystems in the space, and we have been building in the bear market; now it's time to act and promote what we've built. Share the implementation plan Organizing and managing all collaborations & communications with Influencers. Creating a collaboration brief which outlines the content we want the Influencers to create in order to manage expectations and so we can run with the narrative we want to push in our collaborations.

For schedule we will schedule all the collaborations over 30 days in order to capitalize on the hype and once done create a report on the results from our collaborations.

**Deliverables:**

1.  Promotional Guidelines PDF: This PDF contains guidelines and details about the promotion or campaign for the influencers.
2.  Influencer Strategy PDF: This PDF outlines the influencer marketing strategy, including the objectives/goals, target personas, core message, and budget.
3.  Result Report PDF: This monthly report PDF includes all the key performance indicators (KPIs) and results related to the influencer marketing campaign.

Polkadot Staking Dashboard is a project managed by Ross Bulat at Parity Technologies. It aims to improve Polkadot's user experience, making it more accessible and intuitive for non-technical users. The dashboard has received over 1.2 million page visits in the past 12 months and offers a feature-rich interface for solo staking and nomination pools, supporting Polkadot, Kusama, and Westend.

The proposal for the 6-month period from February to July 2024 includes:
1. Maintenance and new features to improve the staking dashboard's usefulness and ease of use.
2. Onboarding dashboard components to Polkadot Cloud to speed up dApp development for Parachain teams.
3. Exploring next-generation API support with Polkadot API, an alternative to Polkadot JS API.
4. Improved testing through unit and integration tests for critical app logic.
5. Project management and mentorship for team and skill growth, onboarding new developers from outside the Polkadot ecosystem.

The staking dashboard will remain at its current URL, and the repository will stay with the paritytech organization. For more details, refer to the full proposal document on Google Docs.

#### Brief

Hello community, Polkadot Staking Dashboard (deployed to https://staking.polkadot.network), is a project that has been managed by Ross Bulat at Parity Technologies for the last 18 months. The success of Polkadot Staking Dashboard has come about by \*\*listening to the community’s calls of improving Polkadot UX\*\*, \*\*making Polkadot more accessible for non-technical users\*\*, and making Polkadot more intuitive and fun to use. By doing this with the attractive use case of staking (and by extension, nomination pools), Polkadot users have a reliable, 24/7 operational dApp in https://staking.polkadot.network, in which continued UX enhancements are applied on every update. Staking dashboard has received over 1.2 million page visits over the past 12 months, and users spend over 1 minute on average in the app. It is the premier staking app for Polkadot, offering a feature-rich interface covering both solo staking and nomination pools, with Polkadot, Kusama and Westend support. \*\*Intending to supercharge Polkadot consumer apps, this proposal aims to transition the Polkadot Staking Dashboard development and surrounding efforts into a separate entity, external from Parity Technologies, and continue the maintenance and growth of the staking dashboard and surrounding UX products.\*\*  

#### Focuses for the 6-Month Period

1.  Maintenance and new features: General maintenance to the product codebase and new features to be added in the time period, making staking dashboard more useful, more streamlined, and even easier to use.
2.  Onboard dashboard components to Polkadot Cloud: Increasing the number of re-usable high impact components for Polkadot dApps. We are aiming to dramatically speed up dApp development for Parachain teams by contributing these re-usable components.
3.  Explore next-generation API support with Polkadot API, an upcoming alternative to Polkadot JS API. This will support the Polkadot API team by applying the API to a core use case in staking, and can act as example code for the wider Polkadot dApp community to learn and apply to their projects.
4.  Improved testing: Onboarding of unit and integration tests for critical app logic. This will iron out more bugs and undesired edge cases, and increase app reliability.
5.  Project management and mentorship: General management tasks and mentorship for team and skill growth, which aims to onboard new developers external from the Polkadot ecosystem.

#### Full Proposal

Please refer to the \[full proposal document on Google Docs\](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fn8HYi16\_q-ScuRsKU-YPRaMV3IaPOHdaiPEyuIl9qM/edit?usp=sharing).

#### FAQ

**Will the staking dashboard remain at https://staking.polkadot.network?** Yes, absolutely. We are committed to maintain a productive collaboration with the W3F and continue to develop Polkadot UX that is feasible for the main polkadot.network website. **Will the staking dashboard repository stay at paritytech?** Yes, there are no plans to move the staking dashboard repository away from the paritytech org. It will remain at \[paritytech/polkadot-staking-dashboard\](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-staking-dashboard).

OpenGov will fund Polkadot Staking Dashboard maintenance and growth for 6 months, from February to July 2024. The proposal aims to transition the project into a separate entity, external from Parity Technologies, and continue the maintenance and growth of the staking dashboard and surrounding UX products. The focus will be on general maintenance, new features, onboarding dashboard components to Polkadot Cloud, exploring next-generation API support, improved testing, and project management and mentorship.

Dear Community,

I am Mario Andrade, a legal professional and self-taught smart contract developer, expanding my expertise in Rust and Substrate.

I am requesting financial support as I have been accepted into the Founders Track of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) in Honk Kong, and I need assistance covering my travel expenses.

\*\*About soft.law and rotamDAO: \*\*

I am the proud founder of soft.law, a legaltech lab dedicated to create innovative solutions for the Polkadot ecosystem.

**The Vision for Polkadot Blockchain Academy:**

This invaluable experience has inspired our team at soft.law to develop a pallet to provide developers within the ecosystem with legal validations for real-world assets. I am eager to present and refine this concept at the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, emphasizing the critical need for robust legal backing.

**Funding Request:**

Unfortunately, at this moment, I am unable to cover the expenses associated with attending the Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Hong Kong. Therefore, I am requesting 450 DOT, to cover round-trip plane tickets from Mexico and other associated expenses.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

Mario Andrade

Founder, soft.law
