`Short description`

**Funding for a Polkadot ecosystem online swag shop (polkaswag.shop) to offer Polkadot and its ecosystem branded merchandise so the community can identify, showcase, and grow.**

- $DOT is accepted as the main means of payment, in future other Polkadot Ecosystem tokens will be accepted
- 25% of the profit goes to the projects/community

`Hello Polkadot community!`

I am planning an online swag shop for our community, where we can get merchandise for the whole Polkadot ecosystem. With your support and help, I would like to launch this project. By this proposal I would like to ask for financial support so that I can create high quality and "nice shit" Polkadot branded merchandise and an online shop for it.


> No trash swag. I have so much Polkadot swag that are cheap tee shirts with the bare bottom pricing printing that I’ll never wear it. Make **nice shit** and people will actually use it.

- [Twitter](https://twitter.com/danreecer_/status/1549410141275127808?s=20&t=ERTVI3RR-E1_uuJfWn5yGw)

From the tweets of Dan Reecer and Peter Mauric and the reaction of the community to them, it became clear that there is currently no "central place" where our Polkadot community can cover ourselves with branded merchandise and fulfill our needs. Our young and rapidly growing Polkadot community should be able to proudly present their affiliation in the crypto world as well as in the offline world.

polkaswag.shop - an online swag shop for Polkadot ecosystem

Our parachain OAK Network is proposing to host a Polkadot community meetup in November, 2022 in the Bay Area, U.S. The event will bring together current Polkadot & Kusama community members to strengthen relationships and introduce new professionals to the Polkadot ecosystem.
Our ambition is for this event to be the first in a series of events for the Polkadot community where a diverse range of new people have access to learning about Polkadot. This includes professionals, students, investors and creators. Our team has significant experience hosting successful and impactful events for the ecosystem.
Our team is requesting 470 DOT ($3,000 USD approximately) to help contribute to the costs associated with running and hosting the San Francisco event. A comprehensive breakdown of expenditure can be found in the later sections of this proposal.
The full proposal can be [found here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zTCIKiZZwXstYCK795BQxZzywQic4nYzc4NDVTnMtvs/edit#)

OAK Network San Francisco Polkadot Event Proposal

**Detailed Proposal:**

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_ao-Hk-GxIPUDpWijDK4KXUjst0rglZZBzIuMGG7aVQ/edit#](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_ao-Hk-GxIPUDpWijDK4KXUjst0rglZZBzIuMGG7aVQ/edit#)

**Short Description:**

Support Colorful Notion’s Polkaholic.io open source XCM/Multichain block explorer, indexing of all Polkadot + Kusama + parachain data with a special emphasis on XCM Transfers / Messages, made available in UI/API/CDN/BigQuery form to support  Polkadot ecosystem’s multichain initiatives.

**Proposal Summary:**

Colorful Notion proposes to:
- Expose and maintain public archive of all the raw data indexed by Polkaholic.io (blocks, extrinsics, events and traces) available in CDN form and then in BigQuery form and indexed data (specifically and especially XCM transfers and XCM messages) in API form
- Continue to index all Polkadot chains to the fullest extent possible to generate and maintain the archive with APIs, which may be relied upon by large scale archival systems.  These APIs maintain Value transfers/XCM transfers according to DEX info on top  “defi” parachains
- Model XCM Transfers and Messages across the entire Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem
- Enhance Polkaholic.io indexing as the Polkadot ecosystem expands: New parachains, new pallets generating XCM extrinsics/messages  with new XC Assets, support for ERC20/PSP22/ERC721/PSP34 assets, XCMv3, and new bridges

We propose the design and production of an open source user interface font for the Dotsama ecosystem and beyond. The font will be specifically designed for small size screen use, come in light, regular and bold weights with matching italics and a corresponding monospaced version for coding. The font will also come with a suite of variable iconography and cover both latin and cyrillic scripts. We aim to wrap this all up in a single file as a cutting edge variable font, offering both technical and design benefits.

Unlike the Polkadot brand font that was designed for large sizes, this typeface will be built specifically for small size use across the Dotsama ecosystem. As an open source font our aim is that it has utility for users around the world.

A Ziggurat is a rectangular stepped tower that uses precise measurements to ensure that each foundation can support the layers above.

This metaphor can be applied to network testing by defining three layers:

1. Conformance: adherence to the network protocol
2. Performance: healthy throughput under pressure
3. Resistance: the withstanding of malicious behavior

Ziggurat, by [Equilibrium](https://equilibrium.co/), is a set of tools that allows node developers to test these three layers extensively and ensure that each new release does not introduce bugs, performance bottlenecks, or security flaws.

As mentioned in the conclusion of the recent Trail of Bits report: It’s only a matter of time before a blockchain network is completely toppled by a network-level hack. This proposal will detail why this work is critical, and how we will go about solving it.

Ziggurat: The Network Testing and Stability Framework

### **THE PROPOSAL**

**Description**


One of the key pillars for the growth of a particular technology revolves around community events organised by the technology educators and other members of the community. Even though you have events that happen today in the Polkadot ecosystem, the discovery of these events still remains quite cumbersome. You might find some event details here and there from twitter to Polkassembly, but it's difficult for users to find them without going out of their way to keep up with these channels. 

Polkaevent focuses on bringing these events together by listing all of them on one single platform thereby taking away the pain of discovery from the end user. It also aims to use its social channels to market those events. 

**Dotsama Calendar**


Dotsama calendar showcases everything that’s happening in the Dotsama ecosystem along with the relevant details of the location where that’s happening. So be it an airdrop, a new Parachain launch or just regular news, you can find all the info in the calendar.

The current calendar is limited as in it just shows things around proposals and only has an option for online events. This current calendar is designed to work with the parachains and relay chains where it’ll showcase events around the chain. It will show events around chain upgrades, new parachain launches, airdrops/other events for that chain. In fact it will also show referenda dates for a particular parachain.

Contextual Information by the team, below:
###
ETH Denver, the flagship event of the Ethereum community draws in a lot of the active community as well as newcomers to the space. By showing up at ETHDenver awareness and builder and developer leads with high interest in blockchain are generated - newbies looking to build their first project and/or contribute to the tech stack, as well as teams already building in the Ethereum community and looking for new project opportunities. In addition to new leads, the event is a great opportunity to connect with those already familiar with Polkadot, and grow the relationship.

Polkadot successfully participated in last year’s edition as a Diamond sponsor, and organized several ETH Denver BUIDLWeek talk sessions. For this year’s event, the goal is to give Polkadot and the ecosystem teams even more visibility and to book a higher-level sponsorship package. The participation would encompass a Cypher sponsorship package, and a mini summit during BUIDLWeek.

The following teams have confirmed their participation at ETHDenver activities: **Astar, Unique Network, Phala Network, Zeitgeist, Gear, RMRK, OAK Network, Pendulum, Moonbeam, InvArch, Apillon, Crust, Acurast, Manta, Solang, DAM Finance.**

Polkadot Developer Bootcamp - India

Polkadot Developers Conference // sub0 is the conference for developers building at every level of the Polkadot tech stack — from custom layer-1 blockchains to dApps and smart contracts, infrastructure, tooling, cross-chain interoperability solutions, and more.

In 2023 sub0 will return to Lisbon and is seeking funding from Polkadot Treasury. The last edition took place in LX-Factory in Lisbon on November 28th and 29th, 2022, Web3 Foundation, together with the teams of Apillon, Phala Network, Astar Network and Manta Network in representation of the entire Polkadot ecosystem brought together the global Polkadot developer community.

Sub0 will again provide an open introduction to next-generation multichain networks, as well as a chance for existing Polkadot and Substrate developers to deepen their skills and connect with each other. For this year's edition we want 50% of our audience to be new developers from outside of our ecosystem. This includes people who are not building on Substrate but are curious to learn more. By opening our doors to developers who are not (or only slightly) familiar with our tech, we can bring in more potential builders and expand our market reach and visibility. 

THIS IS THE FUNDING REQUEST FOR MILESTONE 1 AS PER THE BUDGET DETAILED IN THE DOC BELOW.

Hi Everyone ,

I am Rishant Kumar (Rish) Growth Lead, APAC for KILT Protocol and a long-term blockchain and Polkadot enthusiast. I am proposing a 2-day conference in India executed in my personal capacity – " Polkadot Now India 2023 – India's first-ever Polkadot Conference " in Bangalore, India, aimed at educating and engaging developers, investors, press and industry leaders in India on April 1-2, 2023.

The blockchain community has been growing rapidly in India over the past few years, helped by the huge number of Indian developers and the government’s official [strategy to make India a leader in blockchain technology.](https://www.meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/National_BCT_Strategy.pdf)

However, while blockchain networks like Polygon and Solana have a significant presence in the country, DOT has minimal representation. Many developers are not aware of either Polkadot and the advantages it has over other technologies, or Substrate. Equally, Polkadot is not highly visible for industry leaders or enthusiasts. To raise Polkadot’s profile in India and promote education and engagement, along with others with connections to industry and the Indian blockchain communities, I am organizing **Polkadot Now India**. The conference aims to bring together developers, researchers, media, investors, and other stakeholders to experience the Polkadot ecosystem, share knowledge and discover new collaboration opportunities for the entire ecosystem.

Follow Us: [Telegram ](https://t.me/PolkadotNowindia), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PolkadotNowInd).

[Website ](https://www.PolkadotNowIndia.com)will go live on 28th Feb, 2023. followed by opening of registrations on 6th March, 2023.

Polkadot Now - India, 2023 - India's first ever Polkadot Conference

Hello community,

Thank you for your support and feedback on our original [discussion on the forum ](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-purple-paper-token-morphism-guidelines/2023)for conducting legal research around DOT token morphism. 🙏
We are now presenting this proposal after absorbing feedback.

### Context
In earlier phases of Web3 - namely 2017 and 2018 - there was extensive debate about the legal nature of tokens and the process for getting those tokens acknowledged by regulatory bodies such as the SEC. Amidst the frenzy of the latest bull run, those debates have somewhat subsided. In a post-FTX market, with even more scrutinous regulatory eyes fixed upon crypto, those debates and the need for best practices for undergoing regulatory recognition have reemerged as even more critical pieces of knowledge for web3 builders. In this environment, Polkadot’s efforts and ultimate success in the regulatory arena warrant study and dissemination to the wider web3 community. It is in this spirit that we submit our grant request to the treasury

We have already had informal discussions with the individuals most involved in the DOT related regulatory process, who all expressed initial interest in contributing to the initiative. Given this, we feel confident in our ability to fully develop our research themes.

The professionals we spoke with who manifested in general terms willingness to support the initiative are:

[Joshua Ashley Klayman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-ashley-klayman/)

[Angela Dalton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-dalton/)

[Chrissy Hill](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrissy-hill-aa76828/)

[Daniel Schoenberger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-schoenberger-9107836/)

We aim to produce a Research paper regarding the SEC DOT regulatory process, outcomes and recommendations for Dotsama and the wider Web3 ecosystem. [See full proposal here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIJ22m_Q07lB832x8gIMwHVjzfUEIkgAK_NsqrhsTiI/edit?usp=share_link)

Polkadot Purple Paper / Token Morphism Guidelines

Greetings Council Members!

As we all witness the rapid growth of WEB3 technologies, it's crucial that we make sure the adoption of these technologies is inclusive and reaches every corner of the world. 

That's why we're excited to introduce **1TRIBE**, a digital multimedia education initiative that empowers Africans to participate in the decentralized WEB3 economy, with a focus on the **Polkadot** ecosystem 


After engaging with the community for [feedback](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1534) through platforms like **AAG** and **The Kusamarian**, we're thrilled to have received a lot of community support. 

However, some council members abstained from voting and following feedback from members of council and community, we have refined our proposal to better articulate our project.

As a **pro-African** WEB3 multimedia platform, we know that using all available mediums to disseminate our message of WEB3 education and empowerment to African youth is crucial. That's why we've made it our mission to incorporate an **online radio** format into our platform. Our hybrid platform allows us to convert our series of themed video content into online-radio format, ensuring that our message reaches a wider audience and that none of our content goes to waste.

Our goals for 1TRIBE are simple:

- **Foster** a diverse community of Africans, Africans in the diaspora, and people of African descent from around the world who are interested in Web3 and the Polkadot ecosystem.

- **Drive** interest in Web3 and Polkadot by seamlessly incorporating African lifestyle, music, art, and innovation.

- **Educate** Africa's budding entertainers, artists, musicians, and students about the potential of Web3 and Polkadot.

- **Provide** a platform for discussions and education about Web3 and Polkadot.

- **Encourage** the development and growth of the Web3 ecosystem in Africa.

By achieving these goals, we firmly believe that 1TRIBE will play a vital role in bridging Africa to the future with Polkadot.

1TRIBE: Bridging Africa to the Future with Polkadot

As you may have heard recently, Chainsafe has built an early version of [Multix](https://multix.chainsafe.io), an interface to manage complex multisigs.
The alpha version is already live! 

We are aware that the multisig interface landscape has been busy in the past weeks, but we believe that we provide a solution that is outstanding:
- it's already live,  you can already see the power of what we will iterate on.
- unlike any other solution proposed out there, it's based on proxies, giving immense flexibility while keeping a great UX. 
- it's trust minimized and open. There is no private database needed other than a Subsquid indexer. You are not locked-in and can still use polkadot-js/apps in parallel if you want.
- it's open source, because we believe in healthy competition. Our ideas will be copied, hopefully with attribution!

Polkadot and Kusama have the lego pieces ready to use for enterprises and DAOs to create multisigs that are flexible enough for their needs. However, the actual day-to-day handling of these multisigs is a huge burden. It is not user friendly, error prone, and time intensive. From our interviews with businesses and DAOs that use multisigs, they all use at least one proxy, and often even many more. This gives them the flexibility they need, but it also makes the management of the multisig harder when using polkadot-js/apps. Also we believe that flexible multisigs should be accessible to everyone, not only businesses.   


If you build a multisig with your friends Alice and Bob, and Bob looses his private key, you will have to create a new multisig and transfer your funds/NFT. You may even be locked for a while because of staking/voting. Also your address will be different! This is dramatic! Unlike any solution out there, Multix uses proxies,  thanks to this, you can change Bob's key, and you won't have to touch the funds/NFTs or unstake. Also very important, you don't have to understand deeply how proxies work, the interface is easy to use regardless.  


Thanks to our deep experience of the ecosystem, Multix was built in a record time. If you want to know more about it [see this article](https://blog.chainsafe.io/multix-a-simple-interface-to-manage-complex-multisigs-on-polkadot-97328be26f9d).  

We would like to request ~150 000$ from the treasury to fund the development of new features for the next 5 months.
See the full [proposal here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1euTuMEFSBwFf4cRVLK8sshI9PgdR5-Qg4ciDN4WJpaA/edit?usp=sharing)

For those who want to have a quick look at Multix, I made a video to showcase why proxies are awesome, and how you can swap a multisig behind a proxy, with a couple clicks. This feature isn't live yet, but I have it mostly done already, as you can see.

Dear Councilors and Community,

**The Anti-Scam team is opening this proposal to top-up its Anti-Scam bounty- `Bounty 11`, whose aim is to fund initiatives that protect the community from scams by tracking/pruning scam activities as well as promoting user safety via educational initiatives.**

The link to the original top-up proposal post can be found [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/11#10a34324-b700-4fee-9d1b-7a99c308af89).

The anti-scam bounty has been running for roughly a year now and has helped fund multiple anti-scam tasks, whose details can be found in the previous comments on the [bounty's page](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/11).

This top-up will enable us to continue with our anti-scam efforts and expand the initiative to protect the Polkadot community from as many areas of scam as possible.

Details of this proposal, including what we have achieved so far, our future goals, and an estimated break-down of the requested top-up, can be found in the [proposal document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/118llNv0JydkEnvd9NXeUebYfYnAJs-k6QvITVhVjx70/edit).

`NB`: The beneficiary for this top-up is the actual `bounty account`, which is controlled by the Anti-Scam General curator account. This can be confirmed in [an explorer](https://polkadot.subscan.io/account/13UVJyLnbVp9RBZYFwHYxa6GPKJ2SqkGg4Mo7jG7uLAbPkT8).

Thank you.

Treasury proposal #234: Anti-Scam Bounty top-up

**Requested Allocation:** $50,000

*DOT amount calculated via EMA7 on 15 February 2023 at GMT+0 1100hrs: 1 DOT ~ USD$6.27. USD$50,000 ~ 7974.4817 DOT

**Proponent:** EasyA 5FQqvRHgBEUZG17qs9cNFH6ZSSVyAwhb7D6dKjGWb8xgKFkP

**Short Description:** EasyA is developing a crash course for developers educating them on Polkadot and its parachains/projects. EasyA will then hold 2 in-person hackathons in world-leading hubs London, UK and Boston, US for developers to participate in the final showdown and showcase what they’ve learnt. We aim to get 1,000 developers completing the crash course fully, and 400 developers to our 2 in-person hackathons. The goal: educate thousands of developers on Polkadot, reach millions on social media, and get #60DaysOfPolkadot trending in developer communities worldwide!
This builds on the massive success of the original ['Hello World' Polkadot Gitcoin challenges](https://gitcoin.co/hackathon/polkadot/), which kickstarted the whole Polkadot developer community.

This proposal is supported by the Acala, Astar, Composable, and Moonbeam parachains, as well as ecosystem projects including Subsquid, Gear and others. All ecosystem teams are welcomed to get involved too!

**Objectives:**
* Educate 1,000 developers on Polkadot and the ecosystem
* Produce 100 new projects on Polkadot and parachains by the end of the hackathon series
* Maximise the quality of submissions at Polkadot hackathons
* Increase awareness and adoption of Polkadot and parachains
* Introduce individuals to programming on Polkadot and parachains
* Create long-lasting content to benefit newcomers to Polkadot and parachains

The Kusamarian - 6 Month Maintenance Funding

Hi Community,

We recently increased the usability of Polkawatch, particularly on mobile devices, tripled  its computation capability, rolled out infrastructure improving our community engagement and created APIs, documentation and examples to integrate decentralization analytics in other community projects. 

We also released the [State of Decentralization report for Polkadot 2022](https://pwh.li/dot22rr)

The community is becoming more and more aware of the need for effective decentralization in our Ecosystem in general and our validation process in particular.

The interest peaked with the [deplatforming event of Solana nodes](https://twitter.com/polkawatch/status/1588130270917627910) by a Network operator. 

We are sharing with you our next Proposal: on top of Continued Operation for a period of 9 months, we are proposing to:

- Port decentralization analytics for staking pools  to Polkadot (already rolled out on Kusama)
- Multi-Wallet integration
- Assist partners with integration of decentralization analytics.

You can download our [Detailed Proposal](https://pwh.li/dot23h1p) for additional information.
