Dear Polkadot friends,

I am happy to share that my friends at Modern Market, BCheque, and Legendary are showcasing parts of the Polkadot ecosystem through a limited sponsorship. I tried to get them a 6-month headline sponsorship, but it didn't happen. Now, I help bring Polkadot people to their interviews and support them.

I think I deserve a small finder's fee for introducing this talented team to the ecosystem. The Marketing Bounty people said my introduction made their vetting easy. I asked for a 5% commission, but I was not included in the process. I am asking for a small tip, which is more than reasonable. Thank you for your support!

Best,
Ryan / Phunky

Gm Polkadot is requesting a joint tip of 9910 DOT for DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden for their work on The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months. They were involved as Head Ambassadors and worked on collecting, coordinating, and editing the Ambassador Fellowship manifesto, which led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. They are asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs each, which they believe is a fair compromise between their expectations and the work they delivered. Their work can be checked through their reports and the Project Phoenix timeline, Polkadot Ambassador fellowship manifesto, Phragmen Initiatives Fund, and Proposals 1267 and 1287.

Hello there! We're asking for more money to help with our Polkadot Meetups Bounty #43. Small meetups are important for the Polkadot community because they help people learn, connect, and grow together. We want to use this extra money to reach more places and help people share their knowledge about Polkadot.

We also want to make some changes to the bounty, like giving different rewards to meetup organizers and people who help plan the events. We've looked at the rules for bounties and will make our public documents better and more clear.

Here are some useful links to learn more:

Proposal: Meetups Bounty #43 top-up & changes

Daniel, also known as Polkadot Agent, is an active community member and agent. He works as a lawyer for the Czech Digital and Information Agency, focusing on AI, interoperability, data, EUDIW, and DLT. Daniel is planning to pitch for Czechia's membership in the Europeum-EDIC, a body focused on blockchain use in public services. He aims to introduce Polkadot Cloud and Hub in Czechia.

Daniel is also pursuing a doctorate at University Palackého in Olomouc, researching how Web3 will influence the role of nation-states in the information age. His long-term goal, within two years, is to create an EU-compliant open-source framework for building Polkadot native mobile applications using the Pluto Framework.

He plans to form a DAO called Bohemia Fam, which he has been working on for almost three years on Solana. Daniel aims to use it as a bridge between Solana and Polkadot, focusing on Prague and its independent entrepreneurs and businesses.

Daniel is offering 500 DOT for onboarding people into the DAO, with 5 DOT per open account. He will work with the Polkadot Roots initiative to monitor the spending of these DOTs. He also seeks 500 DOT as a reward for his ongoing contributions and initial funding for his university research.

Daniel is associated with the Deruged NFT Collection, which has a strong identity and is run by community members with web3 experience. The collection tells the story of their derug during the FTX crash and is now managed by a few strong community members. The artwork is created by artist Gringograss, who is also working on the females.
