### Service Details

The last quarter showed a number of ups and downs in terms of numbers but still recorded high demand for Polkadot and OnFinality. May had a higher activity than the rest of the quarter which also had our largest daily responses in the quarter of over 224 million in a single day to Polkadot. 

We continued to execute on our efforts to provide unprecedented service stability and reliability to this ecosystem. All supported networks exceeded our 99.9% target, including 99.98% uptime for Polkadot over the last 90 days . At this stage, OnFinality is operationally striving for a minimum of 99.99% availability, which means less than an hour of downtime each year.

Between 2022-04-01 and 2022-06-31 our Polkadot API service has:

- Served a total of 12,264,823,022 (12 billion) responses
- Accumulated over 85 TB of data egress 
- The highest daily total was 224,203,539 responses in a single 24 hour period
- Our rolling 7 day average at the end of this period was over 133 million responses each day.
- Westend had over 609  million API responses in the period
- Statemint had over 353 million API responses in the period
- All time totals for Polkadot is 65,360,914,521 (65 Billion) since November, 2020
- At the end of this period the 90 day uptime for Polkadot, Statemint, and Westend was 99.98%, 99.98%, and 99.99%

OpenSquare treasury proposal for develiered features and new features development for dotreasury, subsquare and statescan

- The proposal is about rewards for an 8-week online hackathon called amsterDOT.
- There were 8 teams and 20 bounties for projects related to Polkadot and Kusama.
- An Open Category allowed any creative project related to Dotsama.
- Total rewards include up to $190,000 from teams and $150,000 from the Polkadot Treasury.
- A jury of 7 teams decided on the prize distribution.
- 13 out of 14 projects got some prize money.
- The winning project was Morph, a tool for easy cross-chain transfers.

This proposal aims to partially cover the rewards for the 8-week online amsterDOT hackathon.

The hackathon was organized by 8 teams which put up 20 bounties for advancing contributions to the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. Furthermore, an Open Category was included to accommodate “anything Dotsama”. The hackathon had a combined rewards mechanism. The first component is rewards provided by the teams which own the bounties (up to $190k). The second component is a $150k prize pool by the Polkadot Treasury (i.e. the subject of this proposal) which was distributed by a jury comprising 7 teams from the ecosystem.

13 out of 14 eligible submissions were given a share of the Polkadot prize pool following the jury vote. The solutions range from full-fledged UIs, dashboards, (command line) tools, a p2e game, to the winner of the hackathon - Morph, an XCM tool for intuitively handling cross-chain transfers.

- Oneblock wants to help evangelists promote the Substrate developer community by providing funding.
- They plan to create a global Substrate Evangelist Program to attract more people and promote the technology.
- Substrate is becoming popular in China's blockchain community and is important for growing Polkadot.
- The program will have ways to encourage evangelists to work hard in sharing and promoting Substrate.
- So far, 125 applicants from 14 different countries have joined the program.
- A kickoff meeting was held with important guests sharing news about Polkadot.
- In recent months, evangelists have been spreading information about the Substrate ecosystem.

This proposal aims provide funding for the evangelists’ to operate their tasks and motivate them to contribute continuous effort to the Substrate developer community.

Oneblock plans to run a global Substrate evangelist Program to reach a broader group of audience, grow the Substrate developer community and push for the massive adoption of this technology, and at the end will further contribute to develop and grow the Polkadot ecosystem. This program will have a clear growth path and promotion mechanism to motivate the evangelists to contribute for the technology promotion and adoption.

Substrate has gained growing influence in China’s blockchain dev community in the past 24 months. Polkadot outperforms other new L1 chains as the second largest ecosystem in the size of active developers and it clearly has something to do with the continuous promotion and adoption of Substrate as a technology in China and global-wise. Oneblock views the necessity of doubling down the effort of promoting and adopting Substrate which directly contribute to the growth and thrive of the Polkadot ecosystem. Substrate Evangelist Program is a natural extension of Oneblock’s successful effort to promote Substrate and grow the Substrate developer community, from the perspectives of the influential coverage and the geographic market.

Till Mar 5th,a total of 125 applicants come from China, Nigeria, Russia, Minsk, Ukraine, Solomon, Turkey, Togo, Iran, Morocco, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, America, etc 14 countries.

On April 9th,We hosted the Substrate Evangelist Program kickoff meeting and invited Dr. Radhakrishna @Web3foundation & Parity Asia Pacific Head @helenawang to join the panel and share the latest Polkadot news.

In the past April, May, and June, Substrate evangelists promoted Substrate ecosystem-related content.here you can get all the details [here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/14o481tQZBxGPr1xBZq-sSVt5HxzbNAItOFGXGt1SLCo/edit?usp=sharing)

Proposal of Substrate Evangelist Program

- This is a proposal about paying costs for the Polkadot network.
- It covers the infrastructure costs from January to June 2022.
- The proposal is for 50,814 US dollars, which will be converted to DOT coins.
- This payment does not include costs for software development or people working.
- It aims to make billing simpler and more organized for everyone.
- In the future, all bills will arrive at the same time, making it easier to keep track.
- The details of the billing can be found in a linked document.

> This is a follow up proposal to what we submitted before:

> [#94 Cloudflare Enterprise Plan for Subscan from January 2022 to April 2022](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/94)

> [#95 The Infrastructure Costs of Subscan for Polkadot Network from Sep 2021 to Dec 2021](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/95)

This proposal is used to pay the infrastructure costs of the Polkadot network and its testnets. The payment involved in this proposal does not include any software development, human resources, etc. 

Previously, every infrastructure cost of Subscan was applied by submitting treasury proposals separately. The application time was asynchronous and the process was complicated, which is easy to cause some confusion to users, and it is inconvenient to clearly obtain the monthly cost. Therefore , this application will count all unpaid infrastructure costs of the polkadot network before June 30, 2022, including:

- GCP: January 1st - June 30th
- Datadog: January 1st - June 30th
- Cloudflare: April 15th - June 30th

In the future, the billing time of all bills will be completely unified, which is more convenient for community management and supervision.

This time, we plan to apply for a total of **50,814 USD in Polkadot**, the amount of DOT will be converted based on the **EMA7 price** on the day of the official submission.  

- 2022-07-27 10:59:42 (+UTC), Block #11343941
- DOT EMA7 Price ( USD ): 7.051;
- Number of DOT: 7,205.831
> https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/price_converter?value=50814&type=time&from=USD&to=DOT&time=1658919600

Subscan | Infrastructure Costs of Subscan for Polkadot & Westend & Rococo Networks

- Daniel is a leader in building technology and is working on a project called Fido, which helps people use blockchain more easily.
- Fido is a special wallet designed to make Web3 simple for everyone, avoiding complicated words that might confuse users.
- It uses a friendly chat system to interact with users and can be installed on different devices like computers and small hardware.
- The team wants to build Fido in three stages, focusing on the design, core functions, and then adding more features.
- Their goal is to help people do everyday things, like buying items or ordering food, using blockchain technology without needing to understand all its complexities. 
- They are asking for feedback from early users to improve the software before it's ready for everyone to use.

👋 *Hola* dear community and council! I'm [Daniel](https://github.com/olanod), long time ecosystem builder, senior "king" ambassador and founder of the [Virto Network](https://virto.network), the future hub of sustainable d-commerce and services for Polkadot. 

Earlier this year [with your support](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/825) my team and I built [`libwallet`](https://github.com/virto-network/libwallet), an ultra-light and portable framework for creating fast, secure wallets of all kinds(web apps, extensions, mobile, desktop, hardware, hosted, etc.). It has been an on-going effort of continuous redesign and iteration to get to a point where we are now comfortable with its current architecture to start building real-world and user facing products that accommodate the many interesting use cases of our interconnected ecosystem.

It's our mission to *reeally* bring blockchain to the masses, for more than two years we've been creating solid foundations* and have being learning first hand from regular citizens what might take for people to use blockchain technology without realizing it and how not to compromise decentralization in the process.

*_**Previous work**: Web3 grant for [orml-payments](https://github.com/open-web3-stack/open-runtime-module-library/tree/master/payments), Kusama funded [Sube](https://github.com/virto-network/sube), [Kreivo](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/1520) common good parachain for Kusama, [Bloque](https://bloque.app) insta-stores, decentralized on&off ramps._

## Problem

Although a lot of progress has been made all over the place to ease the entry barrier to the Web3, we are still miles away from reaching mass adoption, it's inspiring to see the many efforts the community put in educating new users in the ways of blockchains and decentralization but there's still a long, possibly never ending journey ahead.   

It's great to see how the blockchain industry has one of the highest levels of innovation and technology advancement ever seen, the field moves at incredible speeds that are hard even for seasoned technologists to catch up, trying to reeducate the world in "the new better ways" is a common approach in Web3 however it might not be the best option, we could be neglecting the big majority of the population that won't try to follow the latest and greatest, instead we need to be inclusive and find ways to translate the new revolutionary ideas to a common language that results familiar to the people.

## Solution

We want help newcomers to easily navigate the world of Web3, wallets are the first interaction point of a user but we are starting simple and a bit different, with a set of constraints that I'll call now _the mom rule_, any term or action that would  require me to explain my mom what it is should be avoided, terms like(at least initially) blockchain, private key, hash, staking, NFTs, browser extension, or even wallet don't pass the mom rule so they are not making it in the first cut since they need explanation.

No metaverse-enabled-NFT-capable killer wallet this time, instead let us introduce you what we hope will become your reliable partner in the quest of exploring the sometimes scary Web3.

## [**Fido**](http://fido.sh) 🐶  Your trustworthy Web3 companion
![Logo Fido](https://fido.sh/fido.svg) 

Fido is more than a wallet, it's a development platform. On top of `libwallet` and a plugin runtime we've [prototyped before](https://github.com/virto-network/valor) we are building an ecosystem of wallets for different use cases that can be extended with a variety of services(skills and tricks) developed by the community in their language of preference(JS and WASM). Our target audience being non crypto-native users(including developers) means our product has to feel familiar(e.g. easy login, familiar technologies) yet decentralized.  
The Fido project breaks down mainly in two pieces,

- **Fido bot**: Your companion as hosted wallet that can be interacted with via chat using Matrix, the decentralized communications protocol(bridges to other chats can come later) or other protocols like a traditional HTTP API that gives developers access the different **skills** your Fido has learned. There will be multiple ways to install Fido so it can stay alert 24/7 and give you a hand whenever you need, depending on the platform it will use the most appropriate libwallet vault backend to keep secrets secure, an interesting one being a vault based on Matrix's [SSSS](https://matrix.org/docs/guides/implementing-more-advanced-e-2-ee-features-such-as-cross-signing#3-implementing-ssss) that we have [prototyped](https://github.com/virto-network/summa/pull/9), it allows backing up your wallet securely in your Matrix account to reduce the risk of losing access.

  - **Self-hosted** provided as a binary, docker image, or per-configured OS image that can be burned directly to a linux computer as small as a RaspberryPi Zero.
  - **Embedded Hardware**: Mini-Fido provided as firmware for popular microchips. Initial support for ESP32(-C3) and (future bonus based on what I have available) nrf52840/nrf9160 or the super tiny SAM L11 that could become more of a complementary chewing toy/key-holder/jewellery for Fido that can be powered with just an NFC field.
  - **In browser**_(not yet in scope)_ backed by a combination of service/shared workers(cool web technology) that allows Fido running fully decentralized in your browser without having to install anything. We would also provide an embeddable iframe/web-component that allows third-party applications access the many skills of your Fido. For Virto Marketplaces it will be an important feature that allows executing payments or approve certain transactions.
  - **[Matrix app service](https://matrix.org/docs/guides/application-services)**_(not in scope)_ For communities(like Virto's local communities and marketplaces) with their own Matrix server, this allows non-technical users to have an exclusive companion created for them automatically as soon as they join.
  - **Desktop shell**_(not in scope)_ Embedded in the desktop application.👇

- **Fido Shell**: A decentralized super-app for the Web(not an extension), desktop, mobile and terminal. It's  the graphical interface and Matrix client used to manage your Fido(s), where you can teach it new skills or tricks(mini appplets) and aggregate the many compatible applications created by the community.
_NOTE:  Initiall functionality will be very basic, we will only provide an "accounts skill" with a simple applet for minimal token transfers support and a very simple chat._

  - **Web**: Hosted in [fido.sh](https://fido.sh) and in decentralized form.
  - **Desktop**: As single executable file that works(should) in most platforms(I'll personally only test on Linux but other team members and community will for extended support).
  - **Mobile**(not in scope): Very similar deployment as the desktop application for IOS and Android. 

> ⚠️ To set expectations right, this first delivery of the Fido bot and the Fido shell should be consider experimental software not suitable to for managing large amounts of money that could be lost due to bugs in any of the components of our system. After launch we hope to gather enough feedback from the early adopters in the community before we recommend Fido for production use. 

> 🤔 Hard-core crypto fans might initially find the wallet boring as we are focused more on the real-world use cases of Virto that need to pass the _mom rule_, like buying a t-shirt, ordering food, calling a taxi, etc.

## Development and Milestones

We will divide the work in 3 stages that will last a total of **4-5 months**, after previous experiences developing small pieces of software at a time that are hard to visualize as part of a bigger whole, this time we aim for a longer runway as it has proven difficult to attract/keep talent when working conditions are short term driven and uncertain.

### Stage 1 - Design and architecture
Estimated duration: **1 month**

```

- A proposal is being made to give more money to the Anti-scam Bounty team.
- This team helps protect people from online scams.
- The proposal includes a budget and reports on their work and plans.
- They want to keep finding and taking down scam websites.
- The team is also working on other tasks to educate people about scams.
- Details about the proposal can be found in a document linked in the post.
- The identity of the beneficiary won't be visible on the blockchain, but it can be checked in another place called Subscan.

**I am opening a proposal at the request of the Anti-scan Bounty Curation team to top-up their bounties in order to continue with their initiative for the months to come, after the test period. Reasoning behind the proposal, along with budget, a report on all child-bounties opened and roadmap can be found on their post below.**

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Link to the original discussion post: [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1159). 

With this proposal we request a top-up to the [Anti-Scam Bounty](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/11) to continue funding the community initiatives that aim to protect users in our ecosystem from falling victim to scams.

The bounty expanded on the previous community initiative targeting scam sites that was ongoing for several months, by adding new tasks that aim to create a holistic solution that addresses the problem from several aspects, while bringing awareness to the community, and educating users of both the problems and the efforts to address them.

The Task to find and take down scam sites is still the flagship of the bounty, taking the lion's share of the rewards, but several others of the tasks are being worked on with good progress and we aim to have all of them completed/active by the end of September 2022.

All the details of the proposal, along with spending analysis, can be found [HERE](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12JAtLuwzQjk5AejR_cxvMgz1xnWGwr90r2L34zBs1v8/edit).

It should sync shards (i.e. multi-sig & proxies should not need manual construction for each signatory),
support complex proxy/multi-sig combinations, should amalgamate multiple operations into a
single transaction, and handle staking, asset management, and voting across all shards in a
single user-operation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On February 2022,
our previous Polkadot Treasury proposal was [approved](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/motion/156),
and in July 2022 we have successfully completed the scope of the proposal.
Please refer to the [Omni Enterprise Milestone 1 report](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EIFH0M8KiveOwxynfAdhcAFnyJW2XIQgylUPFTvqHlw/)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This proposal
covers the first release of the Omni Enterprise **high quality desktop application
for Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem**
that will provide **easy-to-use multisig accounts**,
**light clients nodes** usage and **[Parity Signer](https://www.parity.io/technologies/signer/)** support.

Omni: Polkadot Enterprise desktop app Treasury Proposal — Milestone 2 — Public releas

- Talisman is a wallet that helps users easily manage their money in the digital world.
- It supports a network called DotSama, which includes Polkadot and Kusama.
- Talisman aims to make using these networks simple and fun by improving user experience.
- The team is working on a new feature to track transactions across different parts of the network.
- Users want to easily see their money and transaction history, especially for things like taxes.
- They gather feedback from users to make Talisman better and solve problems.
- The wallet helps keep users safe while they use different apps and services.

[Talisman](https://talisman.xyz) is a community-owned wallet that enables users to “traverse the Paraverse” with ease. We believe in a future where everyone has freedom via true agency over their intentions and finances, and we believe that DotSama will bring this to fruition. 

For more on Talisman, please see the following talks from Polkadot Decoded 2022: Agyle’s [How Talisman is bringing multi-chain to the masses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7tZjVv70Jk), as well as Jonathan's [introduction to light clients in Talisman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaidhA5eL_8).

Today, because of its early stage of development and complex multi-chain architecture, both Polkadot and Kusama are changing rapidly and the user experience (UX) can be confusing for end users. It’s our goal to solve that using user experience design and storytelling. We abstract away the complexity of underlying implementation and provide a friendly user experience when using DotSama and a way to discover new applications and services available to end users, while keeping them safe and educated about the actions they are taking.

In this proposal, we are seeking to fund development of a cross-chain transaction history service for the benefit of users, parachains and applications. We believe this will be an advancement in usability and security for end users, as they will be able to more easily understand the actions they have taken across different parachains in DotSama. Parachains and applications that have a presence across multiple parachains will also have an easier way to show users their relevant actions.

We regularly gather customer feedback as we work to uncover difficulties customers have with Talisman and within DotSama. Here are what some users have told us about the need for better cross-chain transaction visibility:

- “Sometimes I don’t even know what assets I have. I do it the hard way, I have them all listed in p.js and I have to cycle through each of the projects to check my balances. When I check on sub.id everything loads, but sometimes locked tokens are missing. So I have to switch parachains, then visit each dapp to keep track.”
- "I would like to see my transaction history all in one place. This would be a huge help for example with my tax filings. Right now it's a real hassle."
- “I want to be able to see multichain assets across multiple parachains.”

Please see the [full description here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/192asiQ13s4EAfXFFDFgKm_W3cqBVPPPxB5VNAig7keE/edit?usp=sharing).

Thank you everyone who has commented during the [community feedback stage](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1152) of this proposal. We have corresponded with everyone that has provided comment.


Talisman Proposal: Cross-Chain Transaction History Service

- This is a new proposal to help pay for the RPC services.
- It will cover costs for keeping them running.
- There is one main goal called Milestone 1.
- Milestone 1 is to keep the Polkadot, Statemint, and Westend RPC services working on special computers in Sweden.
- In the second quarter of 2022, the Polkadot service had about 4 million requests each day.
- The Statemint service had about 218,000 requests a day.
- The Westend service had around 291,000 requests each day.
- The full proposal can be read online.

This is a follow-up proposal on what we submitted in the beginning of [April](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/107), to further fund the development of the RPC services and to cover the maintenance costs of it.

This new proposal includes one Milestone.

**Milestone 1:** Continue to run the Polkadot, Statemint and Westend RPC services on dedicated hardware, located at small independent co-location sites in Sweden.
### Report

During Q2 2022 our Polkadot RPC node served on average **4,176,442** requests per day, and in total we served **375,877,980** requests.

During Q2 2022 our Statemint RPC node served on average **218,805** requests per day, and in total we served **19,692,450** requests.

During Q2 2022 our Westend RPC node served on average **291,186** requests per day, and in total we served **26,216,640** requests.

Polkadot RPC services Dwellir Q3 2022

- Manta.Network has created a privacy solution for DOT/SAMA using zkSNARKs over the last 1.5 years.
- They launched Dolphin Testnet V1, which had over 60,000 transactions and received positive feedback.
- Dolphin Testnet V2 improved performance, making transactions faster.
- OpenZL is an open-source library helping developers use zero-knowledge proof systems more easily.
- The library has three parts: gadget libraries, an embedded language called eclair, and adaptors for different proof systems.
- Various projects, such as Acala and KILT, are interested in using OpenZL.
- The project has a total budget of $1,010,500 for development, security audits, and more.

# Background
During the past 1.5 years, We ([Manta.Network](https://www.manta.network/)) developed the on-chain privacy solution for DOT/SAMA eco-systems using zkSNARKs, here are some highlights:

**Dolphin Testnet V1(unincentivized)**

- 60,000 + transactions
- 6,000+ distinct addresses
- send more private transaction powered by zkSNARK in 3 months than Tornado.cash in 1 year

> "The Dolphin Testnet] is really good... The experience is really pleasing, congrats to
  the team.”
>                                                              (Thibaut Sarda, Core Developer, Polkadot.js)

**Dolphin Testnet V2**

- 1/10 ZCash's (Sapling) constraints count in zero-knowledge-proof circuit
- Improved prover performance from 30 sec to 2 sec

As the first project in the substrate space (and very few in the entire Web 3 space) working on zero-knowledge-proof based developed, we experienced a lot of difficulties in terms of ZKP tooling. As a result, we developed a lot of internal tooling that could benefit peer substrate teams deploying zero-knowledge-proof techniques securely and quickly into their project. 

# Potential Applications
- DID projects like KILT can leverage OpenZL to make their KYC/AML process more decentralized
- Cross-chain Bridges can leverage OpenZL to make the bridges high-performance and trust-less
- DAO tooling project can leverage OpenZL to build MACI for governance
- Project like Astar can leverage OpenZL to build ZKRollups 

and many more

# OpenZL Design
![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/720571/167014503-10117012-c898-4d54-802a-966eb02dab98.svg)

OpenZL is an open-source library that helps practioners (especially in Web3 space) to develop and deploy secure, high performance zero-knowledge proof code in production. It tries to bridge the gap between low level cryptographic primitives and devlopers' need to build scalable protocols using zero-knowlege proof cryptography securely and quickly. More specifically, many developers today want to leverage zero-knowledge proof systems to build powerful protocols like ZCash/Manta/ZKSync. However, they are facing two less than ideal choices; first, building a protocol using high-level languages like [Circom](https://docs.circom.io/) or [Cairo](https://www.cairo-lang.org/) loses many performance optimization opportunities, and second, building the protocol directly using libraries like [arkworks/groth16](https://github.com/arkworks-rs/groth16), [zk-garage/plonk](https://github.com/zk-garage/plonk), or [microsoft/nova](https://github.com/microsoft/Nova) requires expertise in cryptography and can be very error-prone. Also, zero-knowledge proof systems are a moving target. There have been many new, and "better", proof systems coming out every 2-3 years ([BCTV](https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/879.pdf) -> [Groth16](https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/260.pdf) -> [Plonk](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/953) -> [Nova](https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/370)). OpenZL tries to solve this problem by building flexible, proof-system agnostic, and extensible libraries for Web3 practitioners.

OpenZL consists of 3 parts:

- Gadget libraries: a library of gadgets that developers can use as building blocks for their protocols. The initial range of the gadgets includes accumulators (merkle tree with zero-knowledge membership proof), zk-friendly hash functions (poseidon hash), and commitment schemes. The gadget libraries are programmed in eclair.
- Embedded Circuit Language And Intermediate Representation (eclair): An embedded DSL in Rust that describes circuit logic. eclair leverages Rust's expressive type system to rule out certain classes of errors during the circuit construction.
- Adaptors to Proof Systems: Adaptors that convert circuit logic in eclair to the constraint systems used in different proof systems. The initial supported proof systems are arkworks/groth16, zk-garage/plonk, and microsoft/nova.

Speck Wallet - A new user-friendly wallet extension for the Polkadot ecosystem

- The Polka Haus team helped organize an event called Decoded 2022 in Buenos Aires.
- They planned to spend $238,992, but only got $182,902 to help cover costs.
- They needed more money to pay for the whole event.
- The team wanted to reimburse a group called PureStake for extra costs.
- The community decided to use a treasury proposal for a bigger amount instead of a small tip.
- The current value of DOT was around $6.97 when the calculations were made. 
- More information about the proposal and budget can be found online.

**The Polka Haus** team volunteered to cover the organisation and execution of Decoded 2022: Buenos Aires Chapter. Due to the recent volatility in the markets, the Polka Haus team budgeted the total costs of their original treasury proposal to be USD 238,992 but has received the equivalent of 182,902 USD (transferable value). Here's a breakdown of the additional DOT needed to cover the total cost of the event organised for the community:
![](https://i.ibb.co/qr5QSDV/Screenshot-2022-06-21-at-14-04-38.png)

For these purposes, initially, a tip to reimburse PureStake for the extra costs invested was created. However, as the tip process is designed for relatively small amounts, it was agreed by the community that the regular treasury proposal process would be more suitable for reimbursing the team for organising the event in Buenos Aires

Please note that today's DOT rate has been used for calculation: **USD 6.969**. From the initial proposal, the team received the allocation at a price of USD 7.18. They used a 7day avg rate to submit their proposal: USD 9.80.

The original treasury proposal, along with the detailed budget, success metrics and the idea behind the proposal, can be found [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/125)

Treasury proposal to cover difference in DOT rate from approval to transfer of funds for Decoded 2022: BA Chapter

- The PureStake team organized the Decoded 2022 event in New York.
- They planned to spend $500,000 but have only $362,708 available.
- To make up for the missing funds, they need more money in DOT.
- The community decided to use a normal process to reimburse PureStake instead of a quick tip.
- The current DOT rate is about $6.97, but the team received funds at $7.18.
- You can find more details and the original budget on the Polkadot website.

As we all know, the **PureStake** team volunteered to cover the organisation and execution of Decoded 2022: NY Chapter. Due to the recent market volatility, the PureStake team budgeted the total costs of their original treasury proposal to be **USD 500,000.00** but has received the equivalent of **362,708 USD** (transferable value). Here's a breakdown of the additional DOT needed to cover the total cost of the event:

Treasury proposal to cover difference in DOT rate from approval to transfer of funds for Decoded 2022: NY Chapter

- Polkadot is a blockchain ecosystem that needs a good crypto wallet for users.
- Many people find the Polkadot wallet complicated and confusing.
- SubWallet wants to create a user-friendly wallet for Polkadot and Kusama users.
- This wallet will help users easily manage many different crypto activities.
- As of June 2022, SubWallet supports over 60 networks and has thousands of active users.
- They have community members from more than 70 countries.
- The SubWallet team is seeking feedback from the community.

**Dear Dotsama community, and Councils,**

The crypto wallet is one of the key factors that determine the growth of a blockchain ecosystem. However, the Polkadot {.js} extension is [too complicated](https://www.reddit.com/r/Polkadot/comments/r8bdw3/why_is_the_polkadotjs_wallet_so_complicated_to_use/) and [confusing](https://www.reddit.com/r/dot/comments/nuag6l/does_anyone_find_the_polkadotjs_app_too_confusing/) for end-users, especially those without a technical background. Other options are [few and far between](https://messari.io/article/state-of-polkadot-q1-2022?utm_source=twitter_nickgarcia&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=state_of_polkadot_q12022). Given that parachains are launching rapidly and XCM has come into effect, the Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem needs a multi-functional wallet-friendly enough to onboard new users in the coming years, especially after the tipping point.

![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/B1THH26yM-lThu2tjrWBWOgwQg_uNZzF_aj55B35mCaQ-0jwPTXZ6l8riCzxCBAsm9VcQ10-H28M8xr8tunGfezm=w640-h400-e365-rj-sc0x00ffffff)

SubWallet aspires to become the pioneering user-friendly Web3 Multiverse Gateway for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. We envision a wallet in which Dotsama users can track, send, receive, stake, contribute to crowdloans and manage multi-chain assets with utmost ease. 

**Extension demo:**

POLKADOT EDUCATIONAL HUB IN SPANISH (Milestone 3)

- Subsquid provides data indexing for the DotSama ecosystem, which includes Kusama and Polkadot.
- Archives help access on-chain data in a user-friendly format called GraphQL.
- These archives support around 35 Substrate blockchains.
- In a recent 3-month period, they handled over 1.2 billion queries.
- Kusama and Polkadot chains are popular, with millions of queries each week.
- The cost to run these archives for Polkadot and its parachains is about $16,044.40.
- A public Archive Registry keeps track of available archives.

## Ongoing costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable data indexing infrastructure for most of the DotSama ecosystem (and growing).

Archives are an important piece of DotSama data infrastructure provided by Subsquid. They provide access to on-chain data in GraphQL format for all major parachains on Kusama and Polkadot, with more chains added as the ecosystem grows. They are being used as a data source for Squids and for efficient data exploration and ad-hoc queries. An up-to-date list of Archives is kept in a public Archive Registry
All archives can be accessed and queried via an web intuitive GraphiQL interface and are often used as developer friendly replacement of a block explorer.

Over the last 3 months (March, April, May 2022) we've provided a free public data indexing service for ~35 Substrate blockchains (some archives have been dismissed, new ones have been added), so that everyone interested in the projects can publicly access indexed data on Substrate Events, Extrinsics, Storage Items and EVM logs.

Between 2022-03-20 (when tracking has started) and 2022-05-06 Subsquid’s Archive infrastructure has collectively:

- Served a total of 1,213,705,478 (1.2 billion) queries
- The highest daily total was 394,214,930 responses in a single 24 hour period

Subsquid - Public data indexing Infrastructure for Polkadot (Q2 2022)

- The proposal asks for 2,635 DOT (about $27,300) to create tools for a special online market for graded assets and unique digital items (NFTs).
- Grading helps make sure items like sports cards and diamonds are real and of good quality.
- These graded items can be sold in parts, so more people can own a share.
- The plan includes making a safe place to buy and sell these items with expert verification.
- There will be special forms to help track and manage items like tax credits and leased properties.
- The project will also include easy-to-use websites to help people navigate the marketplace.
- They plan to develop the project in phases, starting with setting up graders and moving to creating the online marketplace.

**Requested Amount**: 2635 DOT = $ 27,300 @ EMA30 DOT Price=$ 10.359

**Short description**: Development of two pallets in support of several use cases related to a gated marketplace for graded assets and fractional uniques (NFTs).

**Detailed Proposal**: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI)

As more real-world assets continue to make their way to blockchain applications, there is an increasing need to ensure that the assets have been verified or graded by an expert third party/appraiser. This treasury proposal supports Substrate pallets that allow developers to launch a gated marketplace for graded assets that can be fractionalized in configurable quantities.

## Graded Assets and Marketplace
### Example Use Cases
#### Coins and Cards
Sports memorabilia and historic or rare coins have long been collected as a hobby and store of value. Sports memorabilia alone is estimated at $5.4 Billion, but has a reputation for fakes. A common marketplace for these is eBay, and in their buying guide, they recommend having cards graded: 

> These independent organizations evaluate a card for authenticity and quality. Many use a 10-point grade scale. They then secure the card in a sealed, tamper-evident plastic holder complete with a certification tag, grade designation, and other pertinent card information. Graded cards command premium prices and allow collectors to buy and sell with confidence. 

The grading organizations provide a physical representation of their certificate and grade embedded within a plastic holder, but these attestations lack digital verification and trust. 

#### Diamonds
We previously built a blockchain-powered, cooperative marketplace for diamonds. Since it is a complex process requiring a special skill set and instrumentation, and there is a high incentive for fraud, all diamonds must be graded by a community-approved grader (e.g. Gemological Institute of America or IGI). 

Once graded, these diamonds are then purchased by the [Diamond Standard Company](https://diamondstandard.co/technology), where they are molded into pucks of equal value, stored in a secure vault, and minted on the Ethereum main net. See the [detailed proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI) for more details.

#### Tax Credits
In many areas, tax credits offered by governments are transferable from the credit earner to other taxpayers interested in redeeming the credits. It is often the case that a credit may be earned by a person or company that does not have enough of a tax burden to leverage the credit. However, the validity of a tax credit requires an assessment from a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), lawyer, or other trained professional. 

The grader must review a credit owner’s documentation and evidentiary materials to determine if in fact the credit will be honored by the taxing authority (government). 

### Pallet - Graded Assets and Marketplace
This pallet will support the selection and approval of graders, accounts that will perform asset verification or assessment on behalf of asset owners. Similar to the Identity pallet’s registrars, these parties may have a corresponding fee for their services, and the community’s trust in their attestation is secured by their reputation.

#### Asset Redemption
Some graded assets in our use cases also require a specific skill set or equipment for asset redemption. The pallet will also support this functionality, where again the redeemer pays a fee to a redemption specialist for the service.

The pallet will be compatible with the prebuilt Uniques pallet.

## Fractional Uniques
### Example Use Cases
Some of the above mentioned use cases are fractionalizable, meaning a new asset may be spawned from an existing one and the new one inherits the attributes of the parent. Here are more details on these and other relevant use cases for this pallet.

#### Commercial Leases
When a commercial office space lease is signed, it becomes a future promise to pay the rent from the renter to the owner (landlord). This instrument can be sold or used as collateral for borrowing. The landlord may sell it shortly after executing it in order to receive capital immediately. It would be sold for less than the face value due to the risk and time-value-of-money. The difference between the sales price and the face value is the return awarded to the buyer.

Leases are typically monthly, and each individual month is a separate future promise to pay. The leases can be fractionalized into monthly units where each one has a different value because the time to receipt is different.

#### Cannabis Traceability and Regulation
The 'war on drugs' has failed, and cannabis legalization and regulation is sweeping free cultures around the world. In the United States, cannabis has remained prohibited at the federal level, and the regulation is happening at the state-level. Nearly all 50 states have some form of cannabis regulation, with the trend towards more support for allowing and taxing recreational cannabis.

Although each state applies a bit of nuance to their specific rules, one rule remains consistent. All cannabis material must be closely tracked and accounted for. Growers purchase a bag of seeds, such as 100 seeds of a single strain. These are placed in water to germinate, where some will succeed and others will not. Of the successful ones, some are planted into a cube of potting soil substrate and others are frozen for safekeeping.

The cubed plants are grown to become "mother plants", where the yield, potency, and other traits are closely measured and monitored. These mother plants spawn clones and also flower that is dried and packaged. The flower is sold, often to a dispensary, where it is sold to the consumer.

At each of these steps, a new Universally-Unique-Identifier (UUID) is assigned to each unit, where its characteristics and weight are recorded. Test results, images, videos, PDFs, and other files or content can be attached to each UUID, and by default, each UUID inherits the parent's attributes. These attributes may also be overwritten, and/or uninheritable attributes may be added to each UUID.

In the context of the pallet, each UUID is a fractional unique. We are actively modeling this with [growers](http://nuponixlabs.com) in the state of New York, where recreational cannabis is legal and the details of licensing and regulations are actively being decided. We think a blockchain-enabled platform on Polkadot would be a compelling solution for more transparency and regulatory compliance in this fast growing industry.

### Tax Credits
Tax credits are earned or created with a specific face value, determined by the taxing authority and corresponding asset grade. Buyers of the tax credit may not have a tax liability equivalent to the face value of the credit listed for sale. It is common practice for the owner to split the credit into a child asset in the precise amount desired by the buyer. 

Signaling even more interest in this space, in a [recent report](https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/04/26859007/goldman-sachs-explores-nfts-in-the-context-of-financial-instruments), Goldman Sachs reported that they are “exploring NFTs in the context of financial instruments”.

## Pallet - Fractional Uniques
In terms of data structure and functionality, tax credits, commercial leases, and cannabis units all can be modeled as fractional uniques/NFTs. 

Each use case requires:

1. Attaching any various data elements or supporting materials (e.g. files)
2. A parent-child relationship:
- Each NFT starts as a root and supports spawning 0..n child NFTs.
- Each child NFT inherits attributes and data from the parent, but may also override them.
3. Numerical constraints may be applied to each NFT, for example: 
- Sum of all tax credit children must match the original face value of the root. 
- Sum of the weight of cannabis must be tracked and enforced, even what goes to "scrap". 
- Face value of a lease is the sum of its years, quarters, months, and weeks.

Just like graded assets above, the pallet will be compatible with the prebuilt Uniques pallet.

## User Interfaces
We will build polkadot-{js} style web user interfaces for all functionality. Since these components are general purpose, high fidelity screens and interfaces will be developed by individual use case projects and are beyond the scope of this proposal.

## Documentation
We will provide detailed documentation, including step-by-step instructions, on how to use both pallets. 

## Milestones
Detailed milestones and hours are included in the [detailed proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUliCrFl-uTY8cIbOLhNoyBDvzm32UdoxIftGxJrUXI).
### Phase 1
User on-boarding functionality for registering, configuring, and approving asset graders by an asset class. 

### Phase 2
This milestone is for developing the Fractionalizable Uniques pallet, including spawning, attribute inheritance, and hierarchical numeric constraints.

### Phase 3
This milestone is for development of the marketplace and settlement processes, including listing for sale, accessing lineage/descendants and attributes, making offers and purchasing, accepting offers, and settlement with fees and commissions.
