Dear Polkadot community,

Collators on System Parachains are provided with minimal rewards for block production and small incentives in terms of transaction fees. This reduces incentives for Collators to act in a favorable manner and they may also be inclined to under-resourcing their hosts to save costs. Collators should receive funding for the provision of their services. Ultimately, this should be provided by the chain in a preferably sustainable manner. Implementation of such a system is a long-term solution. In the medium term, funding for collators can be provided by the respective Treasuries in the form of a bounty. This allows funding to be pre-allocated and independently managed.

This proposal is the final monthly operating costs payment for service providers in Q4 2023. The previous 2-month operation tip was approved under [Referenda #156](<156>). Future cost compensation will be done under the [Polkadot System Parachain Collators Bounty](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1994) starting from January 2024.

**[Full Proposal](<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kqrgespOFcwh_uaOfv1RtwY64D7sE3luCkfSd09WXzs/edit?usp=sharing>)**

The proposal aims to secure 7,289.03 DOT for Collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered for 3 months - 10-12/2023.

We encourage the Polkadot community to review this proposal and provide any feedback or suggestions.

Thank you!

- Collators on System Parachains need to be incentivized to act favorably and not under-resource their hosts.
- Funding for collators should be provided by the chain in a sustainable manner, but in the medium term, funding can be provided by the respective Treasuries in the form of a bounty.
- This proposal is for the final monthly operating costs payment for service providers in Q4 2023.
- The proposal aims to secure 7,289.03 DOT for Collators on the Polkadot System Parachains network for services delivered for 3 months - 10-12/2023.
- The Polkadot community is encouraged to review the proposal and provide feedback or suggestions.

YouTube Polkadot Round Table Discussion

Introduction

The Polkadot ecosystem is experiencing rapid growth and adoption, with a growing demand for high-quality educational content in various languages. To address this need, I propose funding the Mad Crypto MX YouTube channel, which has been consistently producing informative and engaging Polkadot content since 2020. This initiative will significantly enhance Polkadot's reach and foster a more inclusive community. Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/madcriptomx

Background and Experience

Mad Crypto MX is a prominent Spanish-language YouTube channel dedicated to educating viewers about the crypto ecosystem. The channel has consistently produced high-quality content, including in-depth tutorials, ecosystem updates, and interviews with key figures in the Polkadot community. These videos have been instrumental in onboarding Spanish-speaking individuals into the Polkadot ecosystem, playing a crucial role in its growth and adoption. Also not only I have created videos/content but spoken about polkadot in various crypto events and conferences. The videos are not limited to the spanish language, most interviews are in english.

I also run a Polkadot staking pool called TODODECRIPTO which currently has more than 83k DOT delegated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDiL5QGvMAs&t=256s

With my educational project Todo de Cripto I also managed to get the only interview out there asking Vitalik about Polkadot: https://youtu.be/NCr-7okR_ts?si=cktrtdlcths9fAlP

This is a playlist which includes some but not all my polkadot related videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSI-HV5Mvnf4iQ_ASKAWKN1sJoFopa7cf

Proposed Content and Impact 

With funding from the Polkadot community, Mad Crypto MX will expand its content production to two videos per week for the next six months. This consistent stream of informative videos will provide valuable insights into the Polkadot ecosystem, catering to both new and experienced users. The content will cover a wide range of topics, including:

* Deep-dive tutorials on Polkadot technologies and applications
* Regular updates on the Polkadot ecosystem, including new projects and developments
* Interviews with Polkadot founders, developers, and community members

To further amplify the reach of the content, Mad Crypto MX will also share the videos on Twitter, ensuring that Polkadot's message reaches a broader audience. 
Twitter account: https://twitter.com/mattunchi

Note: My Polkadot content will not be limited to this 2 videos per week. I actually speak frequently about it in my livestreams and tweets, so much even people have asked me in the past if I get paid by Polkadot to speak about it.

Channel Performance and Audience

Mad Crypto MX's YouTube channel has experienced significant growth over the years, with over 105,000 subscribers and over 7.8 million views. The channel's audience is primarily Spanish-speaking, but the inclusion of English-language interviews ensures that the content reaches a global audience.

Funding Request and Budget Breakdown

To support Mad Crypto MX's content production for the next six months, we request funding of $24,000 (4,700 DOT). This budget is based on a production cost of $500 per video.

Conclusion

Funding Mad Crypto MX's YouTube channel represents a strategic investment in Polkadot's growth and community development. By providing high-quality educational content in Spanish and English, we will empower individuals worldwide to explore and utilize the vast potential of the Polkadot ecosystem. I ask the Polkadot community to support this proposal and join me in fostering a more inclusive and informed Polkadot community.

Additional Notes

* Mad Crypto MX has consistently produced high-quality content that has been well-received by the Spanish-speaking Polkadot community.
* The proposed content plan is comprehensive and will cover a wide range of topics relevant to the Polkadot ecosystem.
* Mad Crypto MX has a strong track record of promoting Polkadot on social media and will continue to do so with this funding.
* Again, content is not all in spanish. Most interviews are in english.

I am confident that this proposal will significantly benefit the Polkadot ecosystem and encourage the community to support it. Open to any suggestions to make it better too.  

I propose using the # of wallets and # of DOT delegated to me for vote and that join my staking pool (TODODECRIPTO) as KPI. You can fake views, you can fake subscribers, you can raise engagement by doing click bait but this is actual activity on the network. Delegating vote and joining the staking pool with be promoted in every single video, if not doubled by 3 months from proposal approved i will return half the budget proposed.

Currently i have 112,141 delegated votes from 7 delegations and  84,000 DOT on the pool with 292 pool members. 

My goal is to create wallets/bring activity not just awareness.

PS. KC is not involved in anyway on this proposal.

6 months Educational Campaign in India - Crypto India

I have submitted again my proposal after all the feedback from my last proposal, where the conclusions were that, on the one hand, some big content creators and important figures in the ecosystem told me that the amount of DOT was too high, and I am sorry for those in the community that felt attacked by the price I asked for. On the other hand, a report done by @LV especifically done for my channel and analytics showed good feedback and metrics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L2GG4wGjCOfkEkZqrnXOZDb-2RVe1OjwihA5P8OksNw/edit?usp=sharing

That is why I am asking 75% less of what I asked, and I am maintining the number of long videos for the commmunity.


Hi Polkadot community, I'm Gerard, an influential content creator currently in Spain and leader in Polkadot content creation in Spanish speaking countries.


On Youtube, TuPrimerBitcoin has more than 22,000 subscribers and an average of 7000 views, 800 likes and +100 comments per video: https://www.youtube.com/@TuPrimerBitcoin/featured


Throughout this bear market, I have been proactively creating content about Polkadot, its project, its ecosystem and its entire evolution, and I want to get even more involved with this proposal.


My goal is very clear, to create videos about Polkadot of the highest quality as you can see in my channel, to maximize the scope of Polkadot and its ecosystem on Youtube Spanish speaking with dozens of thousand views. Also, to be able to educate viewers and enact more involvement with Polkadot's governance in Polka Assembly, the nomination pools for staking, in short to attract more users to the Polkadot network.

To do so, I want to offer an exceptional and complete service: 12 videos on Youtube 7 videos shorts for Youtube 1 interview with an industry leader

This content will cover in full:

-Updates on Polkadot

-News and exciting collaborations

-Ecosystem and parachains evolution

-Tracking on-chain data and wallets on Polkadot

-Encouraging the audience to get involved in OpenGov.

We cannot leave aside the great Spanish-speaking potential in the crypto world. With more than 550 million speakers worldwide, it is key to inform and attract the maximum number of users to the Polkadot ecosystem in order to continue growing as a project.

Requested Funds:

For the creation of this content to be delivered and finalized in a period of 3 months, seeking $25150 (equivalent to 5000 DOTs at a rate of $5.03 using EMA30) as of the moment this proposal is being written in order to professionally make these 12 videos, 7 shorts, and 1 interview all for YouTube on the TuPrimerBitcoin channel, and cover information gathering, scripting, editing, and attractive thumbnail designs.

Transparency and honesty are key in this ecosystem, I encourage you to ask any questions that arise and I will be more than happy to help you.

About us: Altcoin Daily is a popular YouTube channel and online platform since Feb 2018 that focuses on providing daily updates and news related to the cryptocurrency market, with a particular emphasis on altcoins. The channel covers a wide range of topics within the cryptocurrency space, including market analysis, news, project updates, interviews and discussions about various altcoins. The content is typically presented in a digestible and informative manner, catering to both newcomers and experienced cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Altcoin Daily aims to keep its audience informed about the latest developments in the crypto world and to provide insights that may be valuable for investors and enthusiasts looking to stay updated on the dynamic and rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.
Our Youtube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AltcoinDaily/videos">AltcoinDaily</a> 1,340,000 subscribers Our X profile: <a href="https://twitter.com/AltcoinDailyio">AltcoinDaily</a> 1,400,000 + followers <img src="https://i.ibb.co/K5yF5rM/Altcoin-Daily-Stats1.png" alt="" width="640" height="309" /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/ScFsm8p/Altcoin-Daily-Stats2.png" alt="" width="640" height="272" />
As you can see on our channel, we generate between 70k and 100k views per video, on average. Our channel has also continued growing throughout the bear market, despite many investors leaving the crypto markets.

You can also see that we got 1.1 million unique viewers in the last 28 days alone and have an average watch time of 6 minutes and 25 seconds per video.
Description:
We are pursuing funding to produce three videos that we anticipate will provide significant value to our audience and effectively showcase Polkadot, ultimately generating a substantial impact within the current Polkadot community and enhancing the brand's visibility. After all, what is a brand with exceptional technology if it lacks a thriving user base?
The videos we will create are (titles may be subject to change):
1. What is Polkadot? - In this video, we will delve into Polkadot as a brand, exploring its offerings and accomplishments since 2020. Additionally, we will discuss the features of Polkadot 2.0, focusing on its coretime functionalities.
2. Top 5 Parachains on Polkadot - In this video, we'll elucidate how the impressive technology of Polkadot has inspired the formation of the top five teams, leading them to construct innovative layer 1 blockchains (parachains) with exceptional products. We'll explore how these endeavors contribute to advancing the Polkadot narrative, drawing in users and new builders, thereby fostering the ecosystem's growth.
3. Best Polkadot mobile wallet - In this tutorial, we'll explore Nova wallet, which we consider the current premier mobile wallet for the Polkadot ecosystem. This user-friendly wallet facilitates seamless transactions, staking, and interaction with other dApps within the ecosystem established by both layer 1 blockchains and layer 2 dApps. The wallet's efficiency has already attracted a substantial user base, and our video aims to further contribute to its popularity.
The overall expense for the outlined tasks amounts to $100,000, and our objective is to finish this work within approximately six weeks upon receiving the payment. We plan to deliver an average of one video every two weeks during this timeframe.
Disclaimer: Under the recent guidelines established by Giotto, the PolkaMarketing agency is entitled to a 10% fee for successfully onboarding the AltcoinDaily brand to promote Polkadot. The agency's role includes advancing the Polkadot marketing narrative and overseeing the entire process on behalf of AltcoinDaily. While AltcoinDaily is dedicated to delivering the content promptly upon receiving payment, it's essential to note that no formal contract has been officially executed between the two brands. PolkaMarketing are currently operating in good faith with the expectation that the content delivery will proceed as planned. If this proposal was to be rejected, PolkaMarketing would respect the community's decision and would not be receiving any fee and thus the onboarding work was for free and as a community service.

AltcoinDaily is a YouTube channel and online platform that provides daily updates and news about the cryptocurrency market, with a focus on altcoins. They have over 1 million subscribers and generate between 70k and 100k views per video. They are requesting funding to produce three videos about Polkadot, which will showcase its offerings and accomplishments, explore the top five teams building innovative layer 1 blockchains, and highlight the best mobile wallet for the Polkadot ecosystem. The overall cost for the videos is $100,000, and they plan to deliver one video every two weeks over six weeks.

Altcoin Daily - High impact Polkadot media promotion

Hi everyone,

I'm Josep, the team lead for the polkadot-api project. I'd like to bring your attention to an exceptional contribution made in a [recent Pull Request](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-api/pull/200). This PR stands out because of its significant impact on dApp development, particularly in reducing the bundle sizes of dApp assets.

We understand the value of such contributions, as evidenced by our team's previous efforts. One of our team members spent a couple of days researching this issue, and while it was considered a "nice to have" rather than a high priority, our findings (detailed [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-api/issues/198#issuecomment-1825864550)) only scratched the surface. The work accomplished in this PR, however, has far surpassed our initial efforts.

Given the exceptional nature of this contribution, I strongly recommend that we offer a medium tip of 80 DOTs to the contributor. Such recognition not only rewards their hard work but also fosters a spirit of collaboration and excellence in our community.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,

Josep

- A person named Josep is leading a team called polkadot-api project.
- Josep is talking about a recent Pull Request that has made a significant impact on dApp development.
- The Pull Request has helped in reducing the bundle sizes of dApp assets.
- The team has researched this issue before, but the recent contribution has surpassed their initial efforts.
- Josep is recommending that the contributor should be rewarded with 80 DOTs for their exceptional contribution.

AllInCrypto is a team that creates content about Polkadot, a blockchain network. They have a YouTube channel, website, Twitter, and TikTok account. They want to help people learn more about Polkadot by creating articles, videos, and social media posts. They also plan to interview important people in the Polkadot community. They have a lot of followers and viewers on their platforms. They are asking for 8,000 DOT (a type of cryptocurrency) to fund their project for 6 months. They have a detailed plan and budget for how they will use the money.

AllInCrypto's Strategic Content and Community Engagement Proposal

[substrate-etl](https://github.com/colorfulnotion/substrate-etl) is a large scale index of Polkadot + Kusama and their parachains based on [Polkaholic.io](https://polkaholic.io), a multichain block explorer/indexer.  Using this data warehouse, anyone can query decoded blocks, extrinsics, events, calls across both ecosystems.  

We onboarded Polkadot Data into Google Public Datasets, announced in September 2023:

* [Enhancing Google Cloud’s blockchain data offering with 11 new chains in BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/data-analytics/data-for-11-more-blockchains-in-bigquery-public-datasets)
* [Polkadot - Harness the power of Polkadot's BigQuery Public Dataset](https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1707052392712212676)

The substrate-etl index results in two large datasets (crypto_polkadot and crypto_kusama) covering the 2 relay chains and over 70 parachains.  This represents Polkadot/Kusama alongside other Web3 ecosystems and supports complex large scale analyses with SQL using BigQuery's lightning-fast query performance on extremely large datasets.   Having substrate-etl enables Dune-like analytics to guide business intelligence, inform engineering decision making, and showcase ecosystem growth. 

Power users include [Parity Data](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/select-from-polkadot/2593) (led by [Karim Jedda](https://forum.polkadot.network/u/karim) and [Pavla Mijic](https://forum.polkadot.network/u/pavla)), [Subwallet/DotInsights](https://twitter.com/dotinsights_xyz), [Web3metrics](https://web3metrics.com),
[Dolpha.com](https://dolpha.com/), [ChainViz](https://chainviz.app/) and many data analysts within parachains and outside the ecosystem.

# Roadmap

In addition to continuing support for substrate-etl/Polkaholic.io for existing and future chains, our plans for 2024 are to:
* chart a course within the [Decentralized Futures](https://futures.web3.foundation/) for 2024, supporting Web3 Foundation's [Data Analysis Tools for Substrate-based Blockchains](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/docs/RFPs/data_analysis_tools.md) (e.g. [traces](https://github.com/w3f/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/pull/1038) and [staking](https://github.com/w3f/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/pull/1045)), chart a course for substrate-etl + Polkaholic APIs to support [Dune Analytics Style Data Service for Polkadot/Kusama](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/dune-analytics-style-data-service-for-polkadot-kusama/271/1) with leading teams in the ecosystem 
* develop + support a [Polkadot Builder Collective](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-builder-collective/4755/5) with a "builders supporting builders" orientation
* build support for CoreJam+CorePlay+DA and extend support for [ink!/WASM contracts](https://github.com/use-inkubator/Grant-Milestone-Delivery/blob/master/deliveries/chainide-polkaholic-integrated-wasm-contract-explorer-integration-milestone_1.md)
* extend substrate-etl to support raw + fully-decoded EVM datasets (transactions+logs), enabling [Substrate+EVM hybrid chain analytics](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/substrate-vs-evm-ecosystem-comparison/4454), as more parachains incorporate [hybrid chain designs](https://www.rob.tech/blog/hybrid-chains/)

Title: Polkadot @CoindeskConsensus 2023, April 26-28, 2023 in Austin, Texas

Proponent: Tribe/AngelHack 13Ghf2T883ZobjngC1BAgR1BWvK2P7qP37gGxHDVFf3fjbmw

Requested Allocation: **USD$51,227.74**

In December 2022, AngelHack proposed to run two Polkadot Global Series hackathons in both the Europe and APAC regions for 2023. This was done in effort to continue bridging existing gaps within the Web3 space through active engagements with the ecosystem teams and wider Polkadot community. Subsequently, the forming of such stronger connections within the community will also allow for easier onboarding of more developers across a diverse range of backgrounds.

We have since concluded our final proposal milestone for our Global Series hackathon held in APAC.

**This proposal hence serves two objectives:**

- Providing a detailed recap of the recently concluded virtual Polkadot Hackathon Global Series: APAC Edition, as well as the in-person dotSocial: Seoul event that took place during Korea Blockchain Week 2023 in September.
- Providing a budget breakdown and metrics report to request **a $51,227.74 USD reimbursement** as our fourth and final payment milestone of event expenses for dotSocial: Seoul (as per our original treasury proposal).

Our Milestone 4 proposal can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g1Tv6N-UbZH8FnCZckytI0cQ6NwnFzucwGzLQvbiT9Y/edit?usp=sharing).

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3 id="aboutmarketacross">About MarketAcross:</h3>
We actually spearheaded Polkadot's PR &amp; content marketing in the good ol' days, working closely with Parity and the Web3 Foundation. After onboarded them back in early 2020, we helped them pre-launch and then push the Polkadot / Kusama narratives for 2.5 years or so. Another example to showcase our deep involvement with Polkadot, we&rsquo;re also running 3 nodes as part of the 1KV program (2 on Kusama and one on Polkadot).
We've also worked with almost all of the significant parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem like Astar (still ongoing + last 2 years) Moonbeam, Acala, Centrifuge, Kilt, Manta, Parallel finance, Polkadex, and many others.
Aside to specifically working with Polkadot and the Polkadot ecosystem, we've been working with big brands in the space like Binance, Crypto.com, TRON, Polygon (worked on the Matic to Polygon rebrand), Tezos, eToro, Consensys, Bybit, Cardano, NEAR protocol, Fantom, dYdX and many more.
We're also a success-based agency with guaranteed deliverables, unlike traditional PR agencies, we only charge for what we are able to deliver (no retainer fees). So our clients are able to control the amount/volume and the velocity of our work at all times.

PROPOSAL FOR ADVANCING DECENTRALIZED FINANCE EDUCATION IN LATIN AMERICA WITH THE POLKADOT ECOSYSTEM

Hello everyone! Ambassador **[BRA_16-D here!
](https://www.youtube.com/@CPTBRA16D/videos)**
In the past I have created around 150 pieces of content dedicated to the ecosystem news, interviews with ecosystem builders, a few tutorials and explanations about Polkadot technology and PARACHAINS

I have been creating content since February 2022 until today without deteriminete and with consistency on the BRA_16-D channel, after having participated at the bounty 16 and having the opportunity to invest in the improvement of the team, both materially and on a human level after the year and a half with opengov, I have decided to launch myself into Polkadot governance for the first time.

In addition to creating content during the last year, I created a telegram group (**[this one HERE](https://t.me/criptoparatodosDOT)**) because on the YouTube channel they left me comments with doubts, after creating it the group serves as a dissemination of content and also as support (emphasize that we always encourage to follow official channels). 
I would like to clarify that for the interview section [ISABEL](https://twitter.com/susu_crypto) will help us for the translations from English to Spanish
NOT ALL channel content will be funded. From BRA_16-D, as you can read in the proposal, we have been creating content for a year and eight months and providing the necessary tools to creators with a true commitment to the ecosystem in the long term could help us provide better quality content in the long term! :)) In the proposal we request funding **4455 DOTS** for 52 pieces of content over the next 6-7 months;

21newscasts

8 interviews

6tutorials

17 explanations about Polkadot technology and the use of DOT/KSM in parachains

BRA_16-D! Quality improvement of content for the Spanish Comunity by BRA_16-D

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. A special thanks to those who have provided feedback over the past few months. 

I'm Juan Lago (**LV**). I'm initiating this discussion to secure funding for the initial phase of **DaBlock**—a dedicated team of SEO and content marketing professionals actively creating and collaborating with various initiatives within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Over the past few months, we have started to craft a comprehensive funnel designed to demystify Polkadot technology and ecosystem for new users, aspiring developers, and other possible productive agents. Simultaneously, this endeavor boosts organic visibility for native Web3 projects and communities within the ecosystem.

Crafting a Users & Developers Onboarding Funnel

### About Polkasafe

PolkaSafe is a enterprise-focussed, non-custodial tool built on top of substrate’s multisig pallet, designed to provide a seamless user experience and robust security features for managing assets in the Polkadot ecosystem.

### Changes from Previous Proposal

Dear community, We failed to garner support from the community during our previous request for retroactively funding the development work done by the Polkasafe team over the last 6-7 months. Acknowledging our mistakes and taking inputs from the community, we have made changes to the proposal, penalizing ourselves and taking a significant cut on the budget. We are also sharing some additional data to give insights about Polkasafe’s adoption in the ecosystem and the role it is playing to bring institutional capital into the ecosystem.

Let’s start with the proposal changes first -

1. We made a mistake of not rightly attributing the efforts of the Chainsafe team while building on top of their work, and hence we have removed the expenses for that entire feature set completely.
2. The multisig integration work done by the team in the Polkassembly product has been accommodated in Polkassembly’s maintenance proposal itself, allowing us to further reduce the budget requested from the treasury.
3. Next.js migration



- Polkasafe apps’ speed was a major complaint from our users and we have worked to migrate the entire application to next.js improving the app performance by over 75%.
- Load time has reduced significantly from 10s to 2.5 seconds
- This work has been done as part of the current proposal but no additional funding is being included in the budget for the same.



### Current traction
On AAG, during our previous proposal, we presented the status of Polkasafe’s adoption, and the impact it is creating for the ecosystem. Find the presentation link [here](https://pitch.com/public/25a757c0-3aa4-400b-b71e-7fd85cad6e7f). 
We have been building with the users and having interviewed 100+ users we built the current product and our roadmap as below - 

![image](https://i.ibb.co/wBgyzyT/4443-Polkasafe-1698251288380.png)

As of Oct’23, Polkasafe is being used by
- 340+ wallets
- Collectively managing $15mn+ across networks
- We are expecting a $50mn+ AUM in the next 3-4 months from our partners. 

A path to sustainability has been shared towards the end of the [document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d5b9xKpQ0jCbELN4K5pSEWglXf-kpegqifza7nubaA0/edit?usp=sharing). 

We have been actively working with institutional teams joining the Polkadot ecosystem, to get them onboarded to the product and the Polkadot ecosystem, providing them a reliable way to manage their assets safely using Polkasafe. 

We have completed all milestones from our first proposal on Kusama and have continued shipping over the past months. 
This proposal is a retroactive funding request for the work done on the product. Details of tasks, product features and timelines are outlined in the proposal document [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d5b9xKpQ0jCbELN4K5pSEWglXf-kpegqifza7nubaA0/edit?usp=sharing) along with our roadmap and vision for the product. 

We look forward to community's feedback on the product and support for helping build the product so that institutions and projects can continue using Polkasafe to manage their assets safely using multisig wallets in the Polkadot ecosystem.

PolkaSafe is a tool for managing assets in the Polkadot ecosystem that is secure and easy to use. 

The PolkaSafe team made changes to their proposal after not getting enough support from the community. 

They removed some expenses and reduced their budget request. 

They improved the speed of their app by migrating it to Next.js. 

PolkaSafe is being used by over 340 wallets and managing over $15 million across networks. They expect to manage over $50 million in the next few months.

Retroactive Funding - Polkasafe Revised Proposal

This is a proposal to tip Adam Steeber $400 per episode of Dot Take retroactively for the 12 episodes that were produced. It is our hope that with the support this tip receives it would push Adam to pursue his own ventures and ideas. 

The amount of $400 per episode was selected as it was the asking amount per episode in KryptosChain's proposal that would have passed if it weren't for KryptosChain's repeated self-harm. We're proposing to give the full cost per episode directly to Adam.

You can see all 12 episodes of Dot Take here:
https://www.youtube.com/@KryptosChain/streams


- Adam Steeber is a person who created a show called Dot Take.
- People want to give him $400 for each of the 12 episodes he made.
- This would be a total of $4,800.
- They hope this will encourage Adam to do more cool things.
- You can watch all 12 episodes of Dot Take on YouTube.

Tip for Adam Steeber's participation in Dot Take

Hi, everyone. I’m Cryptor. I’m well known content creator for the Russian speaking crypto community that have been supporting Polkadot from the day one. I was the first one to talk about Kusama in Russian, made translations and voiceovers of Polkadot Episode 1, 2, 3 and received tips from the Treasury.

Recently I’ve been invited to do 2 Polkadot related AMAs for two major crypto communities https://www.youtube.com/@DOUBLETOP_IO with 68k subs and https://www.youtube.com/@coinmetrika with 18k subs. 

The main goal was to discuss everything that community raises the spectre of.


Polkadot AMA for DOUBLETOP community has been done in the form of Zoom call for their private investors group and also posted on my YouTube channel with 28k subs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71WsGvM42w

Polkadot AMA for COINMETRICA community has been done as a livestream on their channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/-QET-2pJwxs 

Both videos had 17k view and hundreds of comments in total.

I’ve talked through all the concerns expressed by the community, discussed Polkadot 2.0, PolkaVM, the use of PolkadotSDK by Madara and Avail, Parity’s recent sunsetting its go-to-market functions, Web3Foundation grants and a lot more.

Cryptor is a content creator who supports Polkadot. He recently did two Polkadot-related AMAs for two crypto communities with a lot of subscribers. The goal of the AMAs was to discuss everything that the communities were concerned about. One of the AMAs was done as a Zoom call and posted on Cryptor's YouTube channel. The other was done as a livestream on the community's channel. Both videos had a lot of views and comments. Cryptor discussed Polkadot 2.0, PolkaVM, the use of PolkadotSDK by Madara and Avail, Parity's recent changes, and Web3Foundation grants.

Cryptor. Polkadot AMAs for 2 largest Russian speaking crypto communities.

Team: Firoz
About: In January 2018, Firoz launched his cryptocurrency YouTube channel, DecentralisedChain. Employing a blend of educational and news-oriented content, Firoz takes a straightforward approach in his videos. He distills the latest crypto news and market trends, offering insights into potential market movements based on input from professional crypto traders. However, the growth of his channel has been somewhat constrained due to a reduction in video production during the recent bear market. Given this trajectory, we identify him as a low impact content creator on Youtube for Polkadot's marketing initiative.
Youtube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/decentralisedchain">DecentralisedChain</a> 8,456 subscribers
X profile: <a href="https://twitter.com/Decentralised_C">@Decentralised_C</a> 2,743 followers
DecentralisedChain has amassed 2.7k views in the past 28 days, with an impressive average watch time of 5 minutes and 50 seconds, reflecting a robust audience retention rate exceeding 50%. These statistics, visible in the screenshot below, are considered valuable for sustaining audience engagement. The standout video for DecentralisedChain is the "Staking Solana for Best Returns," created two years ago, which has garnered an impressive 46,000 views. Recognizing the potential, PolkaMarketing believes that a similarly structured video explaining how Nova Wallet operates on Polkadot could attract more users to stake their DOT, leveraging the wallet's user-friendly features. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Wc2zsWC/Decentralised-Chain-Stats.jpg" alt="" width="591" height="1280" />
Description:
I am pursuing funding to produce three videos that I anticipate will provide significant value to my audience and effectively showcase Polkadot, ultimately generating a substantial impact within the current Polkadot community and enhancing the brand's visibility. After all, what is a brand with exceptional technology if it lacks a thriving user base?
The videos I will create are (titles may be subject to change):
1. What is Polkadot? - In this video, we will delve into Polkadot as a brand, exploring its offerings and accomplishments since 2020. Additionally, we will discuss the features of Polkadot 2.0, focusing on its coretime functionalities. Cardano's recent announcement expressing the intention to develop on Polkadot's framework, Substrate, will also be highlighted, showcasing its technological capabilities.
2. Top 3 Parachains on Polkadot - In this video, we'll elucidate how the impressive technology of Polkadot has inspired the formation of the top three teams, leading them to construct innovative layer 1 blockchains (parachains) with exceptional products. We'll explore how these endeavors contribute to advancing the Polkadot narrative, drawing in users and new builders, thereby fostering the ecosystem's growth.
3. Best Polkadot mobile wallet - In this tutorial, we'll explore Nova wallet, which we consider the current premier mobile wallet for the Polkadot ecosystem. This user-friendly wallet facilitates seamless transactions, staking, and interaction with other dApps within the ecosystem established by both layer 1 blockchains and layer 2 dApps. The wallet's efficiency has already attracted a substantial user base, and our video aims to further contribute to its popularity.
The overall expense for the outlined tasks amounts to $1,500, and my objective is to finish this work within approximately three weeks upon receiving the payment. I plan to deliver an average of one video every week during this timeframe.
Disclaimer: Under the recent guidelines established by Giotto, the PolkaMarketing agency is entitled to a 10% fee for successfully onboarding the DecentralisedChain brand to promote Polkadot. The agency's role includes advancing the Polkadot marketing narrative and overseeing the entire process on behalf of DecentralisedChain. While DecentralisedChain is dedicated to delivering the content promptly upon receiving payment, it's essential to note that no formal contract has been officially executed between the two brands. PolkaMarketing are currently operating in good faith with the expectation that the content delivery will proceed as planned. If this proposal was to be rejected, PolkaMarketing would respect the community's decision and would not be receiving any fee and thus the onboarding work was for free and as a community service.

DecentralisedChain is a YouTube channel that talks about cryptocurrency and has 8,456 subscribers. They are planning to make three videos about Polkadot to help promote it. The videos will be about what Polkadot is, the top three parachains on Polkadot, and the best Polkadot mobile wallet. The cost for making these videos is $1,500, and they plan to finish them in three weeks. PolkaMarketing will receive a 10% fee for successfully onboarding DecentralisedChain to promote Polkadot.
