The proposal is for the Polkadot community to tip the author 50 DOT for their work as the only Polkadot Ambassador in Finland, including an eight-hour preparation and two-hour recording for a Finnish language podcast about crypto and blockchain. The reasoning is that those who represent Polkadot in the media and initiate important conversations should receive incentives.

- Chris Veselinov is the CTO of LimeChain and is proposing phase 2 development for Gosemble.
- Gosemble is a framework that helps build tools compatible with something called Substrate, using the Go programming language.
- Phase 1 was successfully completed with funding from a motion, and details are available in a report and article.
- The goal of Gosemble is to make it easier for developers who know Go to create runtimes and to help decentralize blockchain technology.
- Rust, the language used for Substrate, can be hard to learn, so Gosemble aims to lower this learning barrier.
- Gosemble offers a different option to Substrate, making it more accessible and helping improve the safety and independence of the system.
- This work can also help find problems in Substrate and support other blockchain projects.
