- A new proposal is asking for money to help build privacy sidechains for multiple blockchain systems.
- The funding requested is **$39,961**.
- This proposal will help the Polkadot and Kusama networks and all joined chains.
- The sidechains will work without changing existing systems.
- Privacy sidechains will allow everyone to use the code, but this means some companies might take it for free.
- The goal is to decentralize technology, but it needs funding to develop.
- The proposal wants to know if people want the privacy feature available by the end of the year.

Integritee proposes to retroactively cover the first 28 person days of completed work on implementing privacy sidechains for any substrate-based chain for $39,961. This will benefit Polkadot and Kusama relaychains and all their parachains without changing anything in their runtimes. The proposal aims to make the privacy product available by the end of the year.

Privacy Sidechains for all Substrate- Based Chains

Subsquid - Public data indexing Infrastructure for Polkadot and Kusama (Q1 2023)

We are asking for money (called tranches 2 and 3) to pay for two events: an online hackathon and the Decoded hackathon. We need £95,000 in DOT to cover these events. Here's what the money will be used for:

1. Paying for the first online hackathon prizes (£10,000 in DOT)
2. Running the second online hackathon (£15,000 in DOT)
3. Running an in-person hackathon at Decoded (£60,000 in DOT)
4. Paying for the in-person hackathon prizes (£10,000 in DOT)

We need this money earlier than planned because the in-person hackathon is happening sooner than we thought.

As per our report [here](../post/1820) we are requesting tranches 2 and 3 based on the Subscan 7 day MA of 4.55.  
  
**THIS COVERS TWO COMPLETED EVENTS: AN ONLINE HACKATHON AND THE DECODED HACKATHON, BOTH EVENTS WE ARE OUT OF POCKET FOR AND HACKER PRIZES ARE UNPAID 😢.**

With this funding request (totalling: £95k in DOT) we are calling the funding tranches proposed for April 2023 (£25k) and July 2023 (£70k) from the initial proposal as we are delivering the online hackathon (April tranche) as well as the in-person hackathon which note has been moved to earlier than planned (originally planned for July tranche).

This covers:

-   funding for the first online hackathon prizes (£10k in DOT) (which were delayed and outstanding due to the governance change)
-   funding for running the second online hackathon (£15k in DOT)
-   funding for running an in-person hackathon at Decoded (£60k in DOT) -> NOTE this will be happening 3 months earlier than planned, and we are therefore requesting the funding at this earlier stage
-   funding for the in-person hackathon prizes (£10k in DOT)

The proposal requests funding of £95k in DOT for two completed events - an online hackathon and the Decoded hackathon. The funding covers prizes and running costs for both events, with £25k requested in April 2023 and £70k in July 2023. The in-person hackathon has been moved to an earlier date, hence the request for funding at this earlier stage.

- The proposal suggests changing the limit back to 3 MiB to prevent problems.
- Parachain and Parathread developers need to make sure their code sizes are under 3 MiB.
- Current checks show that most code sizes are already below this limit.
