**Archive raw data:** Archive Infrastructure Metrics - [July, August, September](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ueNw0-X_DVckSd_qmFwGa2mN3oilEWaCac7m3zY9KU/edit?gid=1549354589#gid=1549354589)

**Requested**: $310,592.98

**Previous proposals**: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1447](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1447)

**Motivation**

A) Archives

Archives are an important piece of Polkadot and Kusama data infrastructure provided by SQD (formerly Subsquid). They provide access to on-chain data for public chains in the Polkadot ecosystem. They are being used as a data source for [Squids](https://www.sqd.ai/cloud) and for efficient data exploration and ad-hoc queries. The Archives, as performant data sources of historical on-chain data, are critical to the operation of backend APIs run by major projects in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Popular Polkadot dApps and projects that depend on SQD include the following:

-   Tanssi Network
-   Talisman Wallet
-   Polimec
-   Polkassembly
-   Apillon
-   Hydration
-   Giant Squid API (maintained by LimeChain)
-   SubWallet
-   FiDi
-   KodaDot
-   RMRK
-   ChainSafe (in particular the Multix multi-sig, as well as other projects)
-   Phala Network
-   Stellaswap
-   Polkascan

Since the beginning of 2024, SQD has transitioned to a paid model for supporting parachains. However, public chains continue to be available for free use. Throughout the Q3 of 2024, we provided a free public data indexing service for Substrate blockchains, allowing interested parties to access indexed data on Substrate Events, Extrinsics, Storage Items, and EVM logs. Below is a list of the public chains we currently support at no cost:

-   polkadot
-   kusama
-   asset-hub-kusama
-   asset-hub-polkadot
-   bridge-hub-polkadot
-   collectives-polkadot
-   rococo
-   westend

B) Contribution

During Q3 2024, we addressed real-world use cases that were highly requested by the community:

-   Supported Substrate extrinsic v5, enhancing compatibility for newer Substrate-based chains.
-   Updated squid templates to the new data decoder interface.

**Achievements**

Increase in Archival Data Demand and Infrastructure Scaling

During Q3’24, archival data demand increased approximately 3.6 times, from 3,265 GiB in Q2 to 11,713 GiB in Q3. We addressed the increasing demand for archival data by enhancing our infrastructure's throughput and redundancy through deploying archives to OVHCloud in addition to GCE, while also empowering our maintenance and engineering teams to support the expanded infrastructure effectively.

Decentralization of the SQD Network Enhancing the Polkadot Ecosystem:

In Q3’24, we continued to empower the SQD Network, driving forward our mission to strengthen the Polkadot ecosystem’s decentralization and resilience. By the end of the quarter, the SQD network had grown to include 1139 active Worker Nodes, securely storing 574TB of data and serving approximately 11TB of data per day. This expanding decentralized infrastructure enhances data processing and storage capabilities, delivering increased security, fault tolerance, and scalability for the Polkadot network.

**Statistics and data**

![](https://i.ibb.co/C3rjjhx6/Screenshot-2025-04-16-at-15-27-17.png)

Over the course of Q3 2024:

-   Served a total of 12,576,410,498,732 (~11.44 TiB) of data from the substrate based archives.
-   Served 979,736 archive requests from substrate based archives.
-   The highest daily total data transfer recorded for Substrate was 375.57 GiB within a single 24-hour period (2024-09-19).

Costing

This proposal encompasses the combined costs for running Archives for Polkadot, Kusama, and other public chains, along with the development contributions, amounting to a total of **$310,592.98**.

SQD (fka Subsquid) - Public Data Indexing Infrastructure for Polkadot and Kusama (Q3 2024)

The proposal to make PolkaIdentity a username authority on Polkadot has been withdrawn due to concerns about a potential future change to enforce a single-authority model within the identity pallet. PolkaIdentity is a fully automated platform focused on identities at People Chain. The proposal aimed to make PolkaIdentity an authority for usernames, allowing users to register their username and providing necessary tools for other services like mobile wallets and dApps. The proponents, WinterStamp (Leonardo Custodio) and Jay Stormy (João Pedro Novochadlo), have experience in software engineering, blockchain development, and marketing.

general_admin

**We’re stepping back from this proposal.**

Over the past few months, we shared parts of our roadmap with many people across the ecosystem. In those conversations, the idea of issuing usernames was occasionally mentioned and, at no point, did anyone raise a concern about it, or about the possibility of multiple authorities being an issue.

Based on the current on-chain logic, and after testing that confirmed everything works as expected (including with Chopsticks), we moved forward in good faith. Only after the proposal went live did concerns emerge about a potential future change to enforce a single-authority model within the identity pallet.

To avoid unnecessary confusion, we’ve chosen to withdraw and decline the proposal.

We’re sincerely grateful to everyone who supported the initiative with votes, feedback, and encouragement. That support reflects the trust this community has placed in our vision.

Inspired by the first username authority proposal made by Parity at [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1177](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1177) seeking to provide .DOT usernames through their new upcoming Polkadot mobile application, this proposal aims to make PolkaIdentity also an username authority.

We believe that PolkaIdentity has already demonstrated its success by being the first fully automated platform **focused exclusively on identities** at People Chain.

With that expertise, we believe we can accelerate the adoption of the usernames through the Polkadot ecosystem, allowing users to register their username and providing the necessary tools and clients for other services like mobile wallets and dApps can start using this feature.

Cyberpunk Lab is a bold initiative to push the boundaries of humanoid robotics, artificial intelligence, and decentralized technologies. With multiple locations including in San Francisco (California) and Shenzhen (China) confirmed, this cutting-edge research lab will serve as a launchpad for a **Polkadot Humanoid Robot SDK** that seamlessly integrates humanoid robots with Polkadot Cloud.

The discussion was opened last week on the Polkadot Forum:

[https://forum.polkadot.network/t/developing-polkadot-humanoid-robot-sdk-at-cyberpunk-lab/12319](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/developing-polkadot-humanoid-robot-sdk-at-cyberpunk-lab/12319?u=vitl2907)

We spoke about our proposal on The Kus's AAG #220:

[https://www.youtube.com/live/Zu3drohTilM?si=-JhKDg4yWAh5LInP&t=1702](https://www.youtube.com/live/Zu3drohTilM?si=-JhKDg4yWAh5LInP&t=1702)

## **1\. Executive Summary**

We are robotics engineers from the [Robonomics team](https://x.com/AIRA_Robonomics). We build trustless physical infrastructure — including RISC-V open hardware, peer-to-peer connectivity, and a Polkadot-based Rollup for IoT and Robotics since Jan'2022.

We are exploring the capabilities of humanoid robots since December 2024 when a Unitree G1 humanoid robot [named Turbo](https://x.com/r_turb0) became a part of our team. On January 9, 2025, at CES in Las Vegas, Turbo became the first humanoid robot to ever earn money — and it was in $XRT, the native token of our Polkadot rollup:

[https://x.com/AIRA\_Robonomics/status/1877326334516482452](https://x.com/AIRA_Robonomics/status/1877326334516482452)

![image.png](https://i.ibb.co/DfmfzMc0/image.png)Humanoid robots are projected to outnumber humans within the next couple of decades with [reports claiming a $24 Trillion dollar market opportunity](https://www.ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/how-ark-is-thinking-about-humanoid-robotics). These machines will work alongside people in factories/warehouses, public spaces and in our homes—handling tasks from lifting boxes to assisting the elderly. And complex robotics systems like humanoids require extensive cloud infrastructure, encompassing computation, digital twins, identity solutions, and file storage. But most current robots rely on centralized clouds for commands and updates, which introduces latency, downtime risks, and security vulnerabilities.

Decentralized systems solve this by enabling robots to communicate peer-to-peer, using cryptography for fast and secure messaging and blockchains to bundle commands, sensor data, and payments into a single tamper-proof transaction. A practical example: a service robot could receive a task, verify the requester’s identity, get paid, and report completion—all without ever needing a central server. This isn’t just faster and safer—it’s the only way to scale when billions of robots are operating in real time across the globe.

Humanoid robots are ideal for showcasing Polkadot's technological capabilities. And quite possibly **_humanoid robots will be the largest blockspace consumers_** .

Polkadot is currently the best technology stack for building Web3 applications for Robotics and IoT, thanks to its unique combination of flexible application development with Polkadot SDK (we were able to enable IoT subscriptions not possible otherwise), a shared security ecosystem, and the upcoming Polkadot 2.0 enhancements (elastic scaling, asynchronous backing and agile coretime) first introduced at [Spammening](https://polkadot.com/spammening/).

By combining the most advanced robots with the power of Polkadot Cloud, we are pioneering a framework that enables secure, autonomous, and trustless machine interactions. The lab will serve as a proving ground, where researchers, artists, and developers co-create, test, and validate real-world applications, setting the stage for the next wave of technological evolution. With the rapid development pace in humanoid robotics, we aim to define the place of Polkadot as a market leader in this space and bring a set of complementary benefits to the community.

This initiative will amplify Polkadot’s reputation, utility, and leadership in new technological frontiers, delivering long-term value to the network and its stakeholders.

**Why This Matters for Polkadot?**

🔹 Showcasing Polkadot’s Technological Range Cyberpunk Lab will serve as a high-profile demonstration of Polkadot’s ability to support real-world, high-stakes applications beyond traditional blockchain use cases. A humanoid robot executing tasks on-chain is a breakthrough moment—one that positions Polkadot as a leader in the convergence of blockchain and robotics, attracting global attention, media coverage, and industry partnerships.

🔹 Driving Network Utility and Adoption By enabling robots to interact with Polkadot—executing transactions, sharing telemetry data, and receiving commands—this project creates an entirely new class of network participants: autonomous intelligent robot agents (AIRAs). As adoption scales, Polkadot will experience increased transaction volumes and organic expansion into IoT and robotics, reinforcing its position as the backbone for machine-to-machine economies.

🔹 Expanding the Developer Community The Humanoid Robot SDK will serve as a gateway for robotics developers to enter the Polkadot ecosystem—developers who may never have engaged with Polkadot Cloud otherwise. By providing streamlined tools and clear documentation, we lower the entry barrier, fostering an influx of fresh talent, innovation, and new commercial opportunities, including potential partnerships with robotics companies.

🔹 Strengthening Decentralization & Security for IoT/Robotics Polkadot’s multi-chain architecture, shared security, and on-chain governance provide a resilient foundation for humanoid robots to coordinate, operate, and evolve autonomously. This project will set a new standard for decentralized infrastructure in IoT and robotics, reinforcing Polkadot as the go-to platform for secure, scalable, and trustless machine communication.

🔹 A Living Example of Open Governance Cyberpunk Lab is not just funded through Polkadot’s OpenGov—it is a showcase of transparent, community-driven governance in action. From on-chain progress reports from robots directly to community-driven decision-making on behaviour training, we aim to involve the community in our work to directly shape the future of autonomous labor.

## **2\. Objectives and Key Results**

100+ independent SDK installations by robotics development teams

Support 10+ Polkadot Rollups Use Cases tailored for various humanoid robots (we will use rollup functions that will best suit these: Telemetry, Identity, Computing, Payments, DeFi and RWA Integration).

10+ AI models tested with reproducible how-to guides

Organize 3 art performances across music, visual arts, and performance art

Publish 2 scientific papers exploring Polkadot Cloud use cases for the rise of humanoid robotics

Launch an educational program to train 25+ students in partnership with universities in the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America

Host 6–12 robotics meetups in San Francisco and Shenzhen

Attract 5,000+ visitors to our physical locations

Present humanoid robot use cases at 5+ Polkadot conferences

Reach 1M+ views across social media platforms

## 3\. Activities

**_Develop the Humanoid Robot SDK_** : We will create an open-source Software Development Kit (SDK) enabling humanoid robots to connect to the Polkadot Cloud. The SDK will include libraries and APIs for robot control commands, telemetry data exchange, on-chain identity management, and secure transaction signing from within a robot’s software. Designed to be Polkadot-native—compatible with parachains and runtime modules—and robot-agnostic, the SDK will support a range of humanoid platforms including open-source and commercial systems. The SDK is a foundational step toward making robots autonomous economic agents. For example, you pay a robot to bring you a drink by sending it a single transaction. This marks a breakthrough moment for Web3: real-world robotics driven by decentralized infrastructure. It positions Polkadot at the forefront of blockchain’s convergence with AI and robotics, generating media coverage, global attention, and industry engagement.

**_AI Model Testing_** : The lab will support experimentation with the latest AI methods on real humanoid robots, like deep reinforcement learning and imitation learning, the two most common approaches now. There is a miriad of approaches researchers try now to quickly teach humanoid robots new skills (continual learning, multi-modal learning, large behavior models, vision-language-action pipelines, diffusion-based planning, internal world models, and sim2real transfer techniques) and our goal is to offer a set of hardware where researchers can test and benchmark their models on. Polkadot’s infrastructure will be used to enable remote access, transparent storage of training data, and auditable performance benchmarking, opening a new frontier for reproducible robotics research.

**_Robotics Experiential Arts_** : We will also push the boundary of robotics in the arts, showcasing humanoid robots as performers and creators within the Polkadot ecosystem. This includes robot-led painting, music, theater, dance, and interactive exhibitions, both physical and in mixed or virtual reality. We draw inspiration from existing work such as a [retired KUKA arm reimagined as a painter](https://www.media.mit.edu/publications/gaka-chu-a-self-employed-autonomous-robot-artist/), collaborations with [Boston Dynamics' Spot for NFT art](https://robonomics.network/blog/spot-nft-valentines-season/), and robotic [telescopes livestreamed from Chile](https://robonomics.network/blog/online-winter-school-2022-lesson-telescope/). These experiences will blend culture and code, highlighting the expressive power of robots as agents in Web3.

**_Research on Robotics Deliberation_** : We will explore the design of autonomous robotic agents that set goals, plan with uncertainty, evaluate consequences, adapt strategies, and model their environments in real time. This includes developing the concept of economically autonomous robots that operate inside the Polkadot ecosystem—making independent decisions based on market signals, optimizing for incentives, and reducing reliance on centralized control. These robots will serve as a testbed for long-term research on decentralized AI coordination.

**_Documentation and Demos_** : Comprehensive documentation will cover everything from SDK architecture and APIs to integration guides and example applications. To illustrate real-world applications, we will develop at least two demo scenarios: one where a humanoid robot acts as a delivery agent, receiving on-chain payment to fetch an item; and another where a robot attends an event based on a DAO vote, acting as a telepresence avatar. These use cases are both functional prototypes and public showcases, highlighting the potential of combining robotics with decentralized coordination. All results, code, and findings will be openly published. The Cyberpunk Lab is not only funded through OpenGov—it becomes a living demonstration of community-driven governance. On-chain progress reports signed directly by robots will reflect transparent development and serve as a case study in how Web3 can support ambitious, real-world R&D.

**_Sourcing Open-Source Contributions_** : Development will be fully public and participatory from day one. The SDK repository will be open-sourced immediately, with regular updates, community feedback loops, and technical livestreams to document progress. We will organize workshops, hackathons, and developer challenges to foster grassroots adoption and expand the contributor base. The goal is not just to deliver code but to build a living, evolving developer ecosystem. The SDK will serve as an entry point for robotics developers—many of whom have never engaged with Web3—to explore the Polkadot stack. By offering clear documentation and streamlined tooling, we lower the barrier and attract fresh talent, spark innovation, and open doors to new commercial collaborations with robotics companies.

**_Community Engagement_** : Public-facing initiatives will include livestreams, lab tours, and open forums. A dedicated robotics-themed floor in a [16-story “vertical village” in San Francisco](https://x.com/vitl2907/status/1904771428437950787) will serve as the physical home of the Cyberpunk Lab, creating an immersive environment for visitors, students, and collaborators. These efforts aim to build a strong, visible, and engaged community around humanoid robotics and Polkadot—one that bridges technical innovation with cultural imagination. We will also colaborate closely with the BitRobot's Lab in China to share equipment, community and knowledge.

## 4\. Budget

We request funding to cover the **_1-year project duration of building a Polkadot Humanoid Robot SDK_** , including personnel, equipment, and lab necessary expenses.

The total budget the **_Cyberpunk Lab requests from the treasury_** is **_$618,000_** , with $250,000 allocated for hardware procurement and $368,000 for operating expenses.

This lab is developed in partnership with [BitRobot Network](https://bitrobot.ai/) that will match the funding with an additional $250,000 for hardware and will be covering their own expenses.

### Hardware Procurement ($500k total, including $250k from Polkadot Treasury and $250k from BitRobot):

Exact hardware is subject to change as robotics market is evolving quickly and new players enter the market rapidly. We already own 1 Unitree G1 humanoid and Boston Dynamics Spot robodog that we start Cyberpunk Lab with. We plan to focus on promising brands that have the best GTM strategy, cost-value parameters and technical readiness. These robots are in the short list to be added to the Cyberpunk Lab:

The micro-sr25519 package, developed by Paul Miller, is an extension to support the Polkadot ecosystem and is now ready for auditing. Edgetributor SubDAO has selected Oak Security as the auditing firm. The audit will cost 34400 USD, with 5 researchers involved, and payment will be made in USDC on Ethereum. Paul Miller is the developer behind @noble packages used in various web3 ecosystems. Oak Security provides security services in the web3 space, with 52 qualified security engineers and researchers. The micro-sr25519 package is important for Polkadot ecosystem security and performance benefits. Edgetributor SubDAO will represent Oak Security in OpenGov and other operational duties, and will be responsible for the custody of the USDC payment. The budget distribution includes a requested amount of 34400 USDC and a refundable bridging buffer of 100 USDC. The total amount is 34500 USDC, and will be disbursed in two phases.

# **Overview**

The [micro-sr25519 package](https://github.com/paulmillr/micro-sr25519) developed by Paul Miller as an extension to @noble/curves to support the Polkadot ecosystem is now ready for the auditing phase. For this phase, Paul suggested to go with a new firm other than the Cure53 as most of his work is audited by Cure53. So we (Edgetributor SubDAO) explored multiple auditing firms for the last couple of weeks and selected 3 firms for the final evaluation. We then reviewed the scopes and offerings of those 3 firms based on the backgrounds of the auditing researchers they offered, their experience, stack familiarity and total number of researchers proposed in the scope, Polkadot ecosystem familiarity, low level JS/TS experience and cryptographic curves familiarity. Oak Security firm is the one which turned out to be superior compared to the other offerings in this specific case. (If anyone wants to know more about other firms or their offerings, feel free to reach us out on twitter.)

Previously approved development proposal: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1165](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1165)

# **Audit TL;DR:**

-   Type: Premium Security Audit
-   Cost per week for Audit: 44000 USD
-   Cost per week for Fuzzing: 10000 USD
-   Scope length: 0.6 week for audit, 0.8 week for fuzzing
-   Total cost: 34400 USD
-   No. of researchers involved: 5
-   Requested payment mode: USDC on Ethereum

Detailed audit proposal: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rdOtoEtgHXrJxX3lPu1khv8deEOcwKz3/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rdOtoEtgHXrJxX3lPu1khv8deEOcwKz3/view?usp=sharing)

# **About Paul Miller**

[Paul](https://github.com/paulmillr) is the founding developer behind **@noble packages** which are used by different web3 ecosystems. He is well known for his contributions via [@noble/curves](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-curves) and [@noble/hashes](https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-hashes) packages which are directly/indirectly being used by the majority of the modern web3 protocols/toolings/platforms which includes even the forum you’re currently reading this proposal on!

# **About Oak Security**

[Oak Security GmbH](https://www.oaksecurity.io/) provides security services in the web3 space, such as threat modeling, penetration testing, security audits, and fuzz testing while following a multidisciplinary approach in their services.  
Based in Munich but operating worldwide, they currently use a pool of 52 highly qualified security engineers and researchers. They operate under two brands: The Solidified brand focuses on EVM-based blockchains, while Oak Security caters to a wider blockchain ecosystem, with departments focusing on the security of Rust and Go source code, low-level protocol security, and infrastructure security, which goes beyond the realm of traditional smart contract security.

# **Importance**

Although many of the Polkadot ecosystem tools/products already started adopting the micro-sr25519 package, Paul Miller himself advocated to get the package audited before using it in any production deployments. Currently there is an open [pull request to switch from @polkadot/wasm-crypto to micro-sr25519 package in PolkadotJS suite](https://github.com/polkadot-js/common/pull/1971) for ecosystem-wide security and performance benefits.

# **Edgetributor SubDAO’s role**

What started as a quest to have the development of a missing component required for our project, have come a long way to benefit the whole Polkadot ecosystem. Edgetributor SubDAO as the curator of this proposal will be representing Oak Security in OpenGov and in other operational duties. Edgetributor SubDAO will be responsible for the custody of the USDC (in a multisig) which needs to be disbursed to the Oak Security in two mentioned phases. Oak Security also requires a legal entity to sign the contract and for the same purpose Edgetributor SubDAO will utilise the legal entity of Edgeware DAO Association (Swiss Association) to save the costs and time required to involve PCF.  
The entire amount corresponding to this proposal (except the refundable bridging buffer) will be going to the auditing entity Oak Security. In this whole process, Edgetributor SubDAO or Edgeware DAO or any Edgeware contributors are not getting financially benefited by any means. We are interested in exploring the BD bounty for our time and efforts contributed so far, especially for the screening of the auditing firms, comparative analysis of their offerings and follow-ups.

# **Budget and Timeline**

**Budget distribution:**

-   Requested amount: 34400 USDC
-   Refundable bridging buffer: 100 USDC (to Swap USDC AssetHub to USDC Warmhole on Hydration and then bridge further to Oak Security’s address on Ethereum.)

**Notable terms:**

-   50% (17200 USDC) will be disbursed at the start of the audit.
-   The other 50% (17200 USDC) will be disbursed on receipt of the initial audit report.
-   The Remaining amount from the refundable bridging buffer will be sent back to the treasury.

**Total:** 34500 USDC

[Big Tipper] Referendum #1519

Integritee has launched its privacy sidechain technology on Polkadot Asset Hub, allowing private transfers for DOT, USDCe, USDTe, ETH, and WBTC. They have submitted a proposal covering efforts from July 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, requesting 171,498 CHF (approximately 201,140 USD or USDT). This funding is considered a soft-loan, which Integritee plans to repay to the treasury with 30% of their gross fee revenue until the loan and a 10% premium are repaid. The proposal has references to previous approvals and initial discussions. Integritee's CTO, brenzi, has presented their work at various events and provided resources for understanding the importance of privacy and how Integritee can contribute to it.

Integritee has deployed its privacy sidechain technology on Polkadot Asset Hub, already supporting **private transfers for DOT, USDCe, USDTe, ETH, WBTC.**

Use it now at: [https://app.incognitee.io](https://app.incognitee.io)

This proposal covers efforts from 01.07.2024 until 31.03.2025 (9 months) retroactively.

-   initial [discussion post](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1739)

We consider this a soft-loan which we will pay back to the treasury with a fraction of fee revenues which each shard of Incognitee earns as long as the target token is present on the Polkadot Asset Hub and can be spent by the treasury. We commit to sending 30% of our gross fee revenue back to the treasury automatically and regularly until we have repaid the soft-loan plus a one-off premium of 10%.

**Guestlist+1: Polkadot and Music**

Polkadot Music Events Initiative (PMEI) has a new plan to make Polkadot a big part of the music world. They want to create a series of events and podcasts called Guestlist+1 (GL+1). This will help Polkadot become more popular in the music industry by having important conversations and getting more people involved.

- They will work with famous universities and music communities around the world.
- They will have famous artists and music business people in their events.
- They will check if the project is good by looking at how much money they get and how many people are interested.

**Money and Things to Do**

They need $388,760 to start this project. They will use the money for:

- Events in different cities like Boston, London, and New York.
- Making 8 podcast episodes from 4 live events.
- Making 3 podcast episodes from 2 studio interviews.

**Why is This Important?**

Music is something everyone likes, and it can help bring together people who make music, people who listen to music, and people who work with technology. GL+1 is a way to get more people interested in Polkadot and how it can help the music world.

**How Guestlist+1 Works**

GL+1 has two parts:

1. A mixer where people can meet and talk.
2. Two panels where people talk about problems in the music world and how technology can help.

**Who Helps GL+1?**

GL+1 works with other groups like Beatport and Lucy from the Polkadot Ambassador Network. They help make sure people in different cities know about the events and can be a part of them.

**FURTHER CONTEXT**

About PMEI

PMEI (Polkadot Music Events Initiative) is dedicated to connecting music businesses to Polkadot. We collaborate and align with partners like Beatport, mufi, Billfold, and the Web3 Foundation to shape a cohesive narrative in the music x web3 space.

Polkadot needs more initiatives that **drive organic user growth** and network **transactions**.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**What Happens at Guestlist+1 (GL+1 Live)?**

Our format is simple:

**Networking Mixer** – An informal gathering to connect participants and spark conversation.

**Two Recorded Panels:** 

-   **Panel One** tackles real-world problems in the music industry, exploring how blockchain can offer solutions.
-   **Panel Two** focuses on how technology impacts music careers and businesses, drawing on major brands and diverse industry voices to broaden the conversation.

Both panels are designed to spark engaging, practical discussions that elevate Polkadot’s presence in the broader music industry.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**![](https://i.ibb.co/My3w5mrD/Screenshot-2025-04-04-at-19-14-27.png)**

**Why is This Important?**

Music is a universal language, providing an ideal space for developers, musicians, and industry leaders to connect. GL+1 is more than an event—it's an entry point for engaging with the music industry and a gateway to introducing Polkadot to a broader audience.

-   This initiative is aligned with our **Guestlist+1 educational newsletter**, reinforcing Polkadot’s growing dominance in music x web3.
-   Feedback has shown strong interest and positive KPIs, with suggestions to increase focus on developer engagement and marketing outcomes. GL+1 is designed to meet that need.

**\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**

**Funding Approach**

PMEI was orignally funded by the Web3 Foundation for select initiatives through DF. For projects like GL+1, we operate independently, but will come back to the treasury for an agency fee ONLY after completing these panels.

-   As a non-profit, common-good vehicle, PMEI is open for anyone in music to leverage our resources—conditional to building within the Polkadot ecosystem.
-   OpenGov supports funding for these initiatives to keep the community and music ecosystem thriving.

We’re actively tracking metrics and engagement to provide detailed progress reports back to OpenGov.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**WHO'S INVOLVED (outside of PMEI)**

The success of Guestlist+1 (GL+1) is driven by strategic partnerships and a diverse network of contributors:

-   **Beatport.io** – Supporting with marketing efforts to amplify the reach of GL+1 panels and podcasts across their platforms and network.
-   **Lucy (Polkadot Ambassador Network)** – Assisting with alignment and coordination of Polkadot Ambassadors in each city, ensuring local communities are engaged and represented.
-   **Panelists and Coordinators from Multiple Cities** – We’ll feature a diverse lineup of music industry professionals, technologists, and artists from cities like Boston, New York, London, and more. This multi-city approach ensures varied perspectives and broadens the relevance and impact of each discussion.

These collaborations are critical to ensuring that GL+1 events are impactful, credible, and representative of both the music and web3 communities.

Guestlist+1: Polkadot becomes the Center of Gravity for Blockchain x Music

The Infrastructure Builders Program (IBP) is a group of independent companies that help the Polkadot network and its parachains with important services. They were started in 2022 and are spread all over the world, making them strong and reliable. They need more money to keep helping the network.

The money they ask for is to add to the IBP bounty, which is managed by five people who work with Polkadot. The bounty pays them for their work only after they have done it. The amount they want is for the most they could possibly do, but last year they only spent $2,490,996 for 552 Relay and System-chain and 154 Parachain RPC nodes.

They get paid for the RPC services they provide every month based on how much they did. You can read the full proposal by clicking [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aK7XtMmpF5FVlt9FGP1puVPHGRktbFQ8M9o6Dh3u9jw).

Some people in the network have given feedback, and IBP services won't be given to those who have clearly cheated the treasury.

Polkadot and MotoGP have decided to withdraw their proposed partnership due to current market conditions. The partnership aimed to integrate blockchain technology into MotoGP and make Polkadot an official partner. The main objectives were to establish a long-term alliance, promote Polkadot, implement blockchain solutions like NFTs and DOT payments, and increase Polkadot's presence in the mass market. The partnership would have provided brand exposure, activations with Marc Márquez, and the creation of an NFT marketplace powered by Polkadot. The investment requested was in DOT cryptocurrency for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027. The expected impact included access to a global audience and active participation of the Polkadot community in selecting sponsored events.

Dear community,

We would like to inform you that, after careful consideration and in light of the current market conditions, we have made the decision to withdraw the proposed partnership between Polkadot and MotoGP.

Our intention has always been to build a long-term strategic collaboration that would foster the adoption of blockchain technology within the world of MotoGP. While we firmly believe in the potential of this vision, we recognize that the present circumstances are not ideal to move forward with the proposal in a responsible and sustainable manner.

We are truly grateful for the interest shown by the community and for all the feedback received. We hope to be part of future initiatives within the Polkadot ecosystem once more favorable conditions are in place.

Thank you for your understanding.

Polkadot x MotoGP Partnership & Integration Proposal (VOTE NAY)

The Talisman Mobile App Proposal is a new request to claim funds for a project that was previously approved under Referendum 1390 but missed the deadline to claim the payout. The team behind the proposal has already started working on the project and is excited to bring the Talisman mobile experience to life. They have provided proof that the preimage was pulled and confirmed the payment address is a Talisman-controlled multisig, the same as in the original proposal. Voting for this proposal will help rectify the payout issue and allow the team to continue their work.

**TL;DR**

The payout for [Ref. 1390](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1390) (Talisman Mobile App Proposal) expired before we could claim. This ref intends to rectify the payout that was originally approved under Ref. 1390.

The preimage was pulled as an additional measure to prove that the payout was not disbursed.

**Q: Why was the payout not claimed?**

A: Due to an oversight on our part, we failed to track the timeline properly and missed the deadline to claim the payout.

**Q: What is the purpose of this proposal?**

A: Since the claim on our previously approved proposal has expired, we are currently unable to claim the originally approved funds. We are submitting this proposal to rectify this so that we may continue to deliver on the original proposal.

**Q: Are you still planning to fulfill the proposal?**

A: Absolutely, and we have already started. We are already several weeks into the design with the first set of wireframes ready to start user testing, and have completed a number of key technology components in preparation for the mobile app. We, as well as our community are excited to bring the Talisman mobile experience to life.

**Q: Proof the preimage was pulled?**

A: You can verify it [here](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tx/0x511a05e33d83e426cf4817dbe09b44762631c9fed9607ed59bd4725b5e7d72d3) - pulled after confirmation and expiry of the claim period.

**Q: Can you verify the payment address?**

A: Yes, the payment address is a Talisman-controlled multisig, identical to the one used in the original proposal.  
  

**Your vote will accelerate the rectification of this payout previously approved. Thank you for the support!** 🙏❤️

- The proposal can be changed later if needed.

Substrate Asset Game Engine (SAGE) is an open-source framework designed to help game developers build on-chain games easily. It is created by Ajuna Network and aims to prove that a weekend is enough to turn a creative idea into a working mobile prototype. SAGE is a modular and extensible game engine for on-chain game state management, using an asset-based, state-transition model. It abstracts Substrate's complex storage layer, allowing developers to focus on designing gameplay and asset interactions. SAGE enables rapid prototyping and seamless transition to fully on-chain gameplay, reducing the barrier to entry and making Polkadot a compelling ecosystem for scalable, accessible, and game developer-friendly blockchain gaming.

Ajuna Network is requesting 80,000 USDT for core framework development and two open-source playground games, Full House Fury and Casino Jam, which demonstrate SAGE's ability to support fun, functional, and fully on-chain game loops. The proposal delivers a game dev playground, two ready-to-hack playground games, and a unified entry point under Polkadot Play. The goal is to give game devs an easy entry point that is frictionless and allows a seamless transition from prototype to production.

**Short Description:** Substrate Asset Game Engine (SAGE) an easy-entry for (future) game devs.

**Project Category/Type:** Gaming/Education

**Beneficiary Address:** 16AjunUasoBZKWkDnHvNEALGUgGuzC92j7LJoLu9qBSUJB2e (Ajuna Network)

# To DOT Holders,

My name is Cedric from Ajuna Network, and over the past years, we as a Team and I personally have been actively building gaming infrastructure within Polkadot—open-source APIs, the Polkadot Unity SDK, and tools like the Substrate .NET API, Substrate Toolchain, and more things like first adopters of async backing with both parachains, first mobile unity game with substrate, or created Hexalem, the winner of the Polkadot Winter Hackathon. With this Treasury proposal, we’re continuing that path by introducing the **Substrate Asset Game Engine (SAGE)**: an open-source framework that helps game developers build on-chain games with ease—from prototype to production. Our goal is to prove that even a weekend is enough to turn a creative idea into a working mobile prototype, that seamless transition to an on-chain production experience.

We believe Polkadot has the potential to be a leader in on-chain gaming. Let’s make sure we have the tools to empower small and independent game developers to push hard on prototyping and creatively building.

### TL;DR

-   **SAGE** is a developer-focused, asset-based game engine for Substrate with working prototypes and tooling available today.
-   We’re requesting **80,000 USDT** for core framework development and two open-source playground games.
-   **Full House Fury** and **Casino Jam** demonstrate SAGE’s ability to support fun, functional, and fully on-chain game loops.
-   This proposal delivers a game dev playground, two ready-to-hack playground games, and a unified entry point under **Polkadot Play**.
-   **Our goal:** give game devs an easy entry point, that is frictionless and allows a seamless transition from prototype to production.

# Substrate Asset Game Engine (SAGE)

### **Payment Details:**

-   **60,000 USDT** (for core framework development)
-   **20,000 USDT** (for two playground games)

### **Overview**

**SAGE** (Substrate Asset Game Engine) is a **modular and extensible game engine** purpose-built for **on-chain game state management**, using an **asset-based, state-transition model**. Rather than relying on traditional game storage methods, SAGE embeds the game state **directly within the assets themselves**—such as cards, characters, or items—making them **portable, transparent, and highly composable** across multiple games and experiences.

By **abstracting Substrate’s complex storage layer**, SAGE enables developers to focus on designing **gameplay and asset interactions**—not blockchain infrastructure. Its modular design includes built-in support for **tournaments**, **free-to-play mechanics**, **unlockable features**, and **on-chain markets**. Assets in SAGE can also hold **stablecoins or native tokens**, allowing developers to **embed utility and economic value directly into the assets** themselves.

SAGE offers a clear entry point for game developers: start with **rapid prototyping**, then **transition seamlessly to fully on-chain gameplay**. It dramatically reduces the barrier to entry and makes Polkadot a compelling ecosystem for **scalable, accessible, and game developer–friendly blockchain gaming**.

SAGE is not a theoretical framework—developers can already begin building today. The repository is public, and functional, and demos already exist to showcase its power:

-   **Core C# Reference Engine:** [Ajuna.SAGE.Core](https://github.com/ajuna-network/Ajuna.SAGE.Core) _(old ref., version [LINK](https://github.com/ajuna-network/Ajuna.SAGE))_
-   **Substrate Integration:** [ajuna-pallets/sage](https://github.com/ajuna-network/ajuna-pallets/tree/develop/sage)
-   **Developer Playground:** [sage-playground](https://github.com/ajuna-network/sage-playground)
-   **Example Playground Game:** [Ajuna.SAGE.Game.FullHouseFury](https://github.com/ajuna-network/Ajuna.SAGE.Game.FullHouseFury)
-   Playable Prototype: [PLAY](https://ajuna-network.github.io/Ajuna.SAGE.Game.FullHouseFury/)

**Full House Fury** is one of the core playground games built on SAGE—a deck-building roguelike where players ascend a tower by battling through levels using **poker-style hands drawn from a 52-card deck**. The initial prototype was built by Cedric over the course of a weekend, inspired by the idea of recreating a game like _Balatro_ fully on-chain. Within that short span, the full game loop and UI were implemented using **SAGE’s C# reference engine**.

Translating the prototype game into an on-chain version using the **SAGE pallet** took less than a day—demonstrating how fast developers can go from idea to working blockchain integration. While creating a fun game requires more than just a game loop—like progression, balancing, and polish—the technical workflow proved that **SAGE dramatically shortens the prototype-to-chain cycle**.

Every action in Full House Fury—drawing cards, forming hands, progressing through levels—is tracked entirely on-chain via **SAGE's transition engine**, showcasing its power to handle **dynamic, evolving game assets** and fully decentralized game logic.

And **Casino Jam** the second playground game, which demonstrates how powerful SAGE assets can be when designed with embedded utility and a self-sustaining on-chain economy. [View README](https://github.com/ajuna-network/Ajuna.SAGE/blob/master/Ajuna.SAGE.Game.CasinoJam/README.md)

The playground games are designed to:

-   **Educate developers** on how to build with SAGE through complete, working examples.
-   **Demonstrate advanced features** like on-chain randomness, evolving asset states, and conditional transitions.
-   **Empower Hackathons** to challenge game devs to fork it, remix it, and evolve their gameplay concepts using SAGE as a foundation.

> **SAGE is not a commercial endeavor—it’s an open-source framework built to accelerate adoption within the Polkadot gaming vertical.**

### **Why Funding?**

SAGE is a framework that allows developers to build and prototype blockchain-integrated games quickly—often in just a few days. It’s designed to reduce the complexity of working with Substrate and provide a practical starting point for developers exploring on-chain game mechanics.

SAGE is an open-source framework aimed at removing technical entry barriers and improving the developer experience within the Polkadot gaming ecosystem.

#### **Why should the Treasury fund this?**

1.  **Developer Onboarding** – SAGE provides accessible tooling for Unity and Web developers to get started with Substrate-based game development.
2.  **On-Chain Game Logic** – It supports full asset lifecycle management directly on-chain, including transitions, progression, and ownership.
3.  **Modular System** – Developers can reuse existing modules such as trading, tournaments, and free-to-play mechanics, without having to build from scratch.
4.  **Hackathon Support** – Playground games are designed for experimentation and learning, making them suitable for hackathons, workshops, and tutorials.
5.  **Project Maturity** – Development began in mid-2024. SAGE is already functional, tested, and actively evolving.

#### **Why doesn’t Ajuna finish this without Treasury support?**

1.  **Recognition** – SAGE needs recognition from the Polkadot community to be seen and adopted as a valuable piece of infrastructure.
2.  **Acceptance** – SAGE was submitted for verification through the [W3F Grants Program](https://github.com/ajuna-network/Grants-Program/blob/a218acbce3b9fc71274340a94291826ec634d154/applications/ajuna_sage_follow_up.md) but [Ajuna is not eligible to apply](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/2516#issuecomment-2736956240).
3.  **Merit** – SAGE is the result of years of trying to onboard game developers and studios to Substrate, Polkadot, and Ajuna—usually without financial incentives. In reality, most developers don’t engage without support: the learning curve is steep, and the tooling isn’t familiar to their workflows. SAGE was built to address this gap—by reducing friction, offering reusable components, and providing a fast path from prototype to on-chain logic.

We believe that lasting games are built by passionate creators, not speculation, and that [the real secret sauce of games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvRm4HKK4gQ) is creativity and passion—not tokenomics.

#### **What does the Polkadot gaming ecosystem gain?**

1.  A ready-to-use **local playground**, including a Substrate chain, backend, and frontend for hands-on development.
2.  Two open-source games—**Full House Fury** and **Casino Jam**—that can be explored, forked, or extended by other teams.
3.  A **Unity prototyping engine** to iterate quickly on gameplay mechanics without any blockchain knowledge.
4.  Full integration with the **Polkadot SDK for Unity** for mobile, and for web, a fully functional game flow powered with **PAPI (Polkadot API)**.

**Polkadot Treasury Proposal** submitted by **Ajuna Network**. All code will be open-source under one of those licenses Apache 2.0 / GPLv3 / MIT.

## **Motivation**

As a developer and founder deeply committed to Polkadot, I've invested the past four years in pushing the gaming vertical in Polkadot, through open-source APIs, Unity SDKs, or other early adoptions like async backing, to thrive blockchain gaming in Polkadot. Throughout this journey, I've frequently encountered frustration—not due to a lack of passion or ideas, but because of persistent technical and community hurdles that have slowed meaningful adoption.

I've personally experienced the struggle of onboarding game developers onto Polkadot, Substrate, and Ajuna. Constantly witnessing how complex blockchain technology becomes a barrier rather than an enabler. SAGE emerged directly from this frustration; it is actually a product evolving from the learnings of trying to onboard game devs and studios onto Polkadots tech stack to create a fully or hybrid on-chain experience. Its mission is clear: to remove these barriers and enable game creators to spend their energy where it matters most—on creativity, storytelling, and player engagement—not grappling with blockchain complexities.

I developed SAGE because I passionately believe in the potential of Polkadot as a technically advanced framework for gaming compared to other ecosystems. It can, and should, be a thriving hub for creative, vibrant, and community-driven games in the future. Yet, the past year has shown me the significant hurdles developers face when trying to build within the ecosystem. Despite substantial efforts—like the Polkadot SDK for Unity and early technical adoption in challenging areas like TEE and async backing—we've repeatedly hit obstacles, often without clear feedback or recognition from the broader community.

This Treasury proposal isn't just about funding a framework. It's about getting feedback on whether this is actually wanted at all. I believe that SAGE can be a playground for hackathons, offering an easy onboarding and hack & play style game dev experience, but in the end, I'm just a dev. SAGE has a lot of unknown features that could inspire new, innovative use cases.

**Note:** As someone actively involved in the early stages of DOT Play—handing over the Games Bounty and maintaining regular syncs with Nicholas (co-founder)—I’ve had a direct view into its development and priorities. While tooling was supposed to be a significant part of DOT Play’s first milestone, none of the outlined tooling funds were released or even considered—except for the Unity contract for 2025, which I independently negotiated and prepared before handing it over for payment.  
Given my role as a technical advisor and my close working relationship with Nicholas, I’m also familiar with the internal challenges DOT Play is currently facing. Based on this experience, I do not consider DOT Play a viable option to support or facilitate this proposal.

**Note:** While we are migrating all of our games to SAGE, including games such as **DOT Gravity**, **Awesome Ajuna Avatars**, **Big Ballz of Bajun**, **Hexalem**, and **Battle Mogs**, these are **not part of this Treasury proposal**. Although open-source and potentially useful for educational purposes, they were originally developed as part of our broader onboarding and ecosystem engagement strategy—not as dedicated playground games. Therefore, they are excluded from the scope and funding of this proposal.
