Subsquid Lab Official has requested 47,597.91 DOT ($202,291.10) from the Polkadot treasury to cover ongoing development and maintenance costs for public SQD Archives. These archives provide on-chain data access for public chains in the Polkadot ecosystem and are used by major projects like Polkassembly, Talisman, and RMRK. In Q1 2024, SQD transitioned to a paid model for supporting parachains but continues to offer free access to public chains. They also made significant contributions to support ink! v5 and addressed community demands. Achievements include the full migration to ArrowSquid, decentralizing Archives Tethys Testnet, and the mainnet bootstrap. In Q1 2024, they served 1.57 terabytes of data and 80 million archive requests, with the highest daily data transfer being 313.12 Gb.

**Requested DOT:** 47,597.91 DOT = $202 291.10

**Previous proposals:** [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/995](995)

**Motivation**

**A) Archives**

Archives are an important piece of Polkadot and Kusama data infrastructure provided by SQD (formerly Subsquid). They provide access to on-chain data for public chains in the Polkadot ecosystem. They are being used as a data source for Squids and for efficient data exploration and ad-hoc queries.

The Archives, as performant data sources of historical on-chain data, are critical to the operation of backend APIs run by major projects in the Polkadot ecosystem (the list is not exhaustive):

-   Polkassembly
-   Talisman
-   RMRK
-   SubWallet 
-   KodaDot
-   ChainSafe
-   Multix
-   Phala dApp
-   Subsocial + Polkaverse
-   Stellaswap
-   Beamswap
-   Polkascan 
-   Calamar 
-   Moonsama/Exosama
-   Reef
-   Manta Wallet
-   ZooDAO
-   Zenlink

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

-   polkadot
    
-   kusama
    
-   asset-hub-kusama
    
-   asset-hub-polkadot
    
-   collectives
    
-   collectives-polkadot
    
-   rococo
    
-   statemine
    
-   statemint
    
-   westend-collectives
    

As of Q1 2024, SQD has sunsetted support for Giant Squid, with LimeChain taking over its further development, detailed in the proposal at [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/758](../treasury/758)

**B) Contribution**

During the first quarter of 2024, we made significant contributions to support ink! v5 and address actual use cases that were highly demanded by the community:

-   We updated @subsquid/ink-typegen and @subsquid/ink-abi to support ink! v5.
    
-   We enabled handling of multi-block migrations in subsquid/substrate-processor.
    

**Achievements**

-   **FireSquid Sunset and Full Migration to ArrowSquid:** With the launch of ArrowSquid, we have significantly enhanced our processing capabilities by enabling the ingestion of unfinalized blocks directly from network nodes. This advancement allows for bypassing the initial need for archiving, facilitating near real-time responses to on-chain activities with subsecond latency. ArrowSquid’s capability to handle forks and rewrite database contents when orphaned blocks are indexed, along with its support for detailed transaction execution receipts, traces, and state diffs, marks a significant step forward in our technology. **Following the complete sunset of FireSquid, all consumers successfully migrated to ArrowSquid by Q1’24**
    
-   **Decentralizing Archives Tethys Testnet:** Following the successful sunset of the Panthalassa testnet, which had initially launched in partnership with CoinList with over 40,000 participants, we have now launched the Tethys testnet. The Panthalassa testnet, renowned for deploying several thousand indexers to index substrate chains including Polkadot and Kusama chains, has paved the way for its successor. The Tethys testnet introduces significant enhancements, including improved query execution, increased network stability, and enhanced communication between nodes.
    
-   **The mainnet bootstrap:** Following the successful testnets, we have bootstrapped the mainnet. Throughout these test phases, we gathered valuable insights on enhancing quality, query execution speed, and reliability. These advancements have been fully implemented in the mainnet, ensuring a robust and efficient network.
    
-   The biggest Polkadot projects have fully migrated or are in the process of finishing the migration from FireSquid to ArrowSquid, including: Polkassembly, Subsocial, HydraDX, KodaDot, Talisman, Multix Multisig,  RMRK, Apillon, StellaSwap

OpenGov referendum 494 has received a lot of support from the community. The storage network has completed phase 1 and some extra parts. Weekly updates are posted on the forum. A book with technical details and instructions on how to test the storage network is available online. Work continues on phase 2 tasks.

Two additional projects are being worked on that contribute to Polkadot:

1. Move has been integrated into Substrate, allowing builders to integrate the Move VM and execute Move smart contracts. This means anyone can now create a Move parachain on Polkadot.
2. A full team is working on Strawberry, the client implementation of JAM, and is close to the first milestone.

PolkaStorage is being added to Polkadot as a native storage offering. It uses DOT exclusively as the fee token and is inspired by the idea of a ubiquitous supercomputer. PolkaStorage relies on other networks less and brings in storage providers to the ecosystem, with service fees paid in DOT. It uses some Filecoin libraries but is a custom implementation tailored to the needs of the DOT ecosystem.

Eiger's Polka Storage is being integrated with JAM's Preimage Lookup System and Data Availability. This provides access to larger data capacity that doesn't fit in account state and serves as the underlying storage layer for resupply of unrequested data that needs to be provided to validators on request. This allows for the best of both worlds: JAM with Data Availability, where apps can access this data and only keep crucial parts on the JAM state.

Hey everyone, I wanna start by saying thank you to the community for the overwhelming support of [OpenGov referendum 494](494). Since then we have been heads down working on the storage network and have now completed phase 1 and some extra parts.

If you weren't aware we have been posting weekly updates on [the forum](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-native-storage-updates/7021) 

Check out the book [https://eigerco.github.io/polka-storage-book/](https://eigerco.github.io/polka-storage-book/) It contains lots of technical details and some nice instructions on how to test it. Work continues uninterrupted on phase 2 tasks.

During this time, in addition to the work on the storage network, there's two more projects we have been working on that contribute to Polkadot:

1.  We integrated Move to Substrate. Allowing builders to integrate the Move VM and execute Move smart contracts. Anyone can now create a Move parachain on Polkadot. [https://x.com/Polkadot/status/1816109501394637034](https://x.com/Polkadot/status/1816109501394637034)
    
2.  We have a full team working on Strawberry our client implementation of JAM and are very close to the first milestone. More updates on that soon.

Edit: Adding some notes on the value proposition and our integration with JAM as we had looked at this months ago but realized that we hadn't shared it here.  
  

Why PolkaStorage, adding native storage offering to Polkadot:

-   Uses DOT exclusively as the fee token where anyone in the eco thru XCM can store and retrieve data. No new tokens to take away utility from DOT.
-   Inspired by Gavins presentation about the Ubiquitous Supercomputer, storage offering is critical: cores for execution, storage for data. Now with JAM, the same storage offering is needed.
-   Reliance on other networks is a weakness. Other solutions use their own token and are just incentivization models on top of IPFS. This would be exclusive native storage for the DOT ecosystem. Bringing in storage providers to the ecosystem, service fees paid in DOT.
-   Although we use some Filecoin libraries to speed up development and not waste developer time reinventing the wheel, this custom implementation allows us to tailor the solution to what is needed in DOT, we are adapting it around JAM (We have a separate team working on Strawberry our client implementation) and bring in other use cases like data availability on top of this storage. (We built the Celestia rust stack, [read about our work and experience in DA](https://www.eiger.co/blog/lumina-release-start-celestia-light-node)).

**Integrating Eiger’s Polka Storage with JAM's Preimage Lookup System and Data Availability**

Providing access to larger data capacity that doesn't fit in account state and being the underlying storage layer for resupply of unrequested data that needs to be provided to validators on request.

-   Fully synchronous execution: ETH L1. All app data is stored on-chain and easily accessible. Not scalable.
-   Incoherent system: App data in different rollups, scalable but not composable, rollup model.
-   Best of both worlds: JAM with DA. Where apps can access this data and only keep crucial parts on the JAM state. We are building the underlying storage layer for that data.

Implementing a Polkadot-native system parachain for data storage: Phase 2/3

Hello there! I am a Polkadot agent named Saimon. I organized a Polkadot event in Barcelona, Spain, and I did a lot of work for it. I spent money on drinks, snacks, and pizza for the event, which cost me 187.25 euros. I wasn't paid for this work, so I am asking for a tip to make up for it. 

The event was important because it was for big bosses of companies like NTT DATA, and we talked about how Polkadot can help their businesses. I was in charge of many things, like organizing the event, inviting people, and even explaining some things about Polkadot. 

Here is a summary of what happened at the event:
1. People came and registered.
2. I talked about Polkadot Enterprise Solutions.
3. NTT DATA directors talked about their Web3 Experience.
4. Representatives from Web3 Foundation, Kilt protocol, and Tanssi Network talked about Polkadot Projects.
5. Everyone networked and ate pizza.

I think this event was a big step in helping Polkadot technology reach many more people and businesses. I am asking for 250 DOT as a tip, which is the same as the Business Development bounty for Spain and Andorra.

Hello everyone, I'm [Saimon](https://x.com/simonxpe) Polkadot agent here =)

On this occasion I request a tip to compensate for the work as business development for the [Polkadot activity carried out in the NTT DATA spaces in Barcelona Spain](https://x.com/Space4Build/status/1839320454886256714).

![](https://i.ibb.co/dM1nB6n/all.png)

The expenses generated by drinks, snacks, pizza and shipping ([EUR 187.25](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11LzcbAtz5DzD3vWMpZ304jl1mbDGKzcK/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105931313405440879198&rtpof=true&sd=true) covered by myself) were shared with the [Meet-up bounty but as indicated in their guidelines](https://dotmeetup.notion.site/Meetups-bounty-cd57b5990ba443559413dec3b339ab4a) the Costs that are not accepted are: Travel expenses, accommodation, commission for organizer or speakers, miscellaneous. 

I am not involved in any bounty, curator nor am I part of the Head Ambassadors or DV under the payroll of the W3F or any parachain so OpenGov is the only space available for compensations of this type.

I was in charge of the organization, dissemination, contact with space owners and invitations, food provider, photo and video capture, preparation of material to be presented, exhibitor and person in charge of making the introductions between the representatives of the Polkadot ecosystem ([Radhakrishna](https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhakrishnadasari/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3BYaxO%2F8TtRNy%2FKJHwKd9swg%3D%3D), [Ingo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingo-ruebe-0915068/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3BYaxO%2F8TtRNy%2FKJHwKd9swg%3D%3D), [Nicolas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncontasti/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_detail_base%3BYaxO%2F8TtRNy%2FKJHwKd9swg%3D%3D)) present with the executives who attended.

-   Content explained was the following:
-   19:00 - Registration
-   19:30 - Polkadot Enterprise Solutions (Explained by me)
-   20:00 - NTT DATA Web3 Experience (Explained by NTT DATA directors)
-   20:20 - Polkadot Projects (Explained by representatives of Web3 Foundation, Kilt protocol, Tanssi Network).
-   20:50 - Networking time and pizzas.

The activity was focused on an audience of CEOs, CTOs, COOs and C-Levels of NTT DATA, their clients and special guests who participated in the European Blockahin Convention.

Compensation tip for Business Development activity and grow C-Level ecosystem

Polkadot and EasyA have announced the finalists of their joint Harvard Hackathon. The event was part of the #180DaysOfPolkadot campaign, which aimed to educate and engage Web3 developers in the Polkadot ecosystem. The campaign was a follow-up to the successful 2023 #60DaysOfPolkadot developer education campaign. The hackathons in London and Harvard attracted a large number of participants, with 350 and 300 hackers respectively, and resulted in the creation of 56 and 55 projects. The event also featured Indy500 racer Conor Daly, who expressed his enthusiasm for the EasyA and Polkadot developer ecosystem. The campaign successfully educated over 100,000 developers on Polkadot and achieved 80% completion rate. The event was supported by various Polkadot ecosystem teams, parachains, and developers. EasyA is now focusing on supporting the top teams and builders to continue building on Polkadot and is working closely with the Unique Network team to funnel builders using NFTs on Unique Network towards their CodeCraft grants programme.

_Polkadot x EasyA Harvard Hackathon Finalists!_

**Date of Report:** September 2024

**Allocation Requested:** $370,000 (retroactive funding for Milestone 2 including prize money for winners, as agreed in our EasyA #180DaysOfPolkadot [discussion post](../post/2127) and approved in [our masterplan referendum](503) with a huge 88% AYE vote).\*

\*DOT amount calculated via EMA7 on 4 Sept 2024 at GMT+0 0930hrs: 1 DOT ~ USD$4.226. USD$370,000 ~ 87,553.24 DOT.

**Short Description:**

GM Polkadot family!

By now you’ve probably already heard about #180DaysOfPolkadot, which took the Web3 developer community by storm. We worked day and night to make this dream a reality, and couldn’t be prouder at having finally pulled it off. In our work across Web3, EasyA alumni have been funded by top VCs like a16z, YC, Founders Fund and many more. We’ve now laid the foundations to recreate this success in the Polkadot ecosystem.

This is our proposed referendum for successfully completing the final milestone (Milestone 2) in EasyA’s #180DaysOfPolkadot.

**Executive Summary:**

For context, the #180DaysOfPolkadot builds on the huge success of our 2023 [#60DaysOfPolkadot developer education campaign](371). After last year’s success, all our stakeholders (Polkadot ecosystem teams, parachains, developers, founders and more) wanted us to build on this momentum and go even bigger. So we took on the challenge and did! We even hosted Indy500 racer Conor Daly at the hackathon so he and his team could see it in action and learn more about the Polkadot developer ecosystem! Safe to say, Conor’s now an EasyA fan too, saying: [“Learning about EasyA and going to their hackathon in Boston was incredible”](https://x.com/easya_app/status/1824385548779245976).

First, [as reported by Investing.com](https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/easya-learning-app-educates-over-100000-developers-on-polkadot-3588470), in the EasyA app we created massive buzz and excitement, with:

1.  Developers starting crash course: 110,000+
2.  Developers completing crash course: 88,000+
3.  Completion rate: 80%
4.  Participating parachains: 12
5.  Impressions: 6M+

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone from the Polkadot ecosystem who came out to welcome these builders to the ecosystem. We couldn’t have done it without you! Acala, Astar, Bifrost, Subsquid, Composable, Crust, Gear, KILT, Moonbeam, OAK, OriginTrail, Phala, Polimec, Tanssi and Unique Network, your work in guiding us to build the #180DaysOfPolkadot was invaluable!

![](https://i.ibb.co/1XyM3xm/easya-x-polkadot-hackathon-speeches.png)

In addition, we would like to give a special mention to (in no particular order):

— Angela Dalton (Co-Founder & CGO of Dot Play, CEO & Founder of Signum Growth)

— Christopher Wade (Head Ambassador for Polkadot North America)

— Luca Auet (Developer Relations at PaperMoon)

— Conor Daly (Professional Motorsports Driver & Polkadot Global Ambassador)

— Andrew Stallings (Founder x President of Athelo Group)

— Charu Sethi (CMO at Unique Network)

— Max Andreev (Senior Developer at Unique Network)

— Filip Filipovich (Developer Relations Manager at Unique Network)

And of course to Leemo for dropping by and auditing!

**Winning projects**

As stakeholders in the Polkadot ecosystem ourselves, the most important thing for us is that these hackathons drive long-term results. This all starts with getting the smartest brains into the ecosystem, and it’s safe to say that the developers we brought to Polkadot with #180DaysOfPolkadot are some of the smartest people in the world.

These founders came from the world’s best universities at Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Yale and top companies like Google, Meta, Coinbase and many more.

Want to see the projects they built? We’ve summarised them in our Twitter threads:

London: [https://x.com/easya\_app/status/1816109001546829924](https://x.com/easya_app/status/1816109001546829924)

Harvard: [https://x.com/easya\_app/status/1819302381177258073](https://x.com/easya_app/status/1819302381177258073)

We’re connecting these incredible builders with mentors in the ecosystem. So far, Angie Dalton (from Dot Play) has been fantastic in connecting with the builders. We’ve also funnelled these people into the available grants programmes. A key highlight was our success in converting the winners into applying for the [Unique Network CodeCraft grants](https://unique.network/blog/your-access-to-nfts-2-0-codecraft-grant/). We’ve been working closely with Charu Sethi and Filip Filipovich from Unique Network on utilising these grants to support with the launch and marketing of the winners’ games.

**Full Progress Report**

We’ve been absolutely thrilled with the success of #180DaysOfPolkadot, and have put together a [full report here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1svDdSFjBeYtQ0PxvNP-Y2Lz0BTV5xnFr6LQYj8BJklI/edit?usp=sharing) on our outcomes from Milestones 1 and 2. We know you love seeing the projects that come out of the hackathons, so we’ve included them in the report, along with further context on the EasyA in-app developer challenges! This full report also includes the precise budget allocations.

**Milestone 2 Requested Allocation Breakdown Summary (Retroactive Funding)**

Our original proposal for #180DaysOfPolkadot split our costs into two phases. Milestone 1 (approved [here](503)) covered the creation, technical implementation and distribution of the in-app content, as well as the venue/logistics deposits. Milestone 2 (this milestone) is retroactive funding to cover the final costs of the in-person hackathons, prize money and educational campaign.

This retroactive funding after the successful completion of our proposal reflects EasyA’s deep respect for the Polkadot treasury and OpenGov. Rather than the community needing to take any risk with EasyA, we take on the responsibility ourselves of delivering on the KPIs and targets which we set out for the community originally.

The full breakdown of the costs and budget is available in [our full report](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1svDdSFjBeYtQ0PxvNP-Y2Lz0BTV5xnFr6LQYj8BJklI/edit?usp=sharing).

**What’s next?**

EasyA has played a key role in growing the Polkadot developer ecosystem since 2022, and we intend to continue building on our successes. Our philosophy has always been to start small, prove ourselves and our results, and then double down on the key areas of success. It’s this approach which has enabled us to drive such big results with our #180DaysOfPolkadot.

In keeping with this guiding philosophy, we’ve already been assessing which areas we should double down on next, and have been discussing our key learnings with our Polkadot ecosystem partners/parachains, Parity and Web3 Foundation. We have detailed these in our full report. However, in summary, our core next step is to get the top teams and builders whom we’ve already recruited, to continue building on Polkadot. The huge EasyA developer community is filled with founders and entrepreneurs and we are excited to get them launching their startups in the Polkadot ecosystem.

We have already started working towards this. We’re working closely with the Unique Network team to funnel builders using NFTs on Unique Network towards their CodeCraft grants programme, which supports builders with launching and marketing. A record number of teams have already now applied for the programme. We’re connecting top games developers with Angie Dalton, who has been welcoming them into the Dot Play initiative. In fact, we have personally introduced all the gaming winners from our Harvard hackathon directly to Angie Dalton. We’re also mentoring teams ourselves, inspiring them about all the opportunities coming up in Polkadot, such as JAM and Plaza. There’s so much more we’re doing too, and we’re currently planning a whole suite of post-hackathon support for our builders, all the way up to getting them funded. We’re very excited to share more on this next month.

Builders who have joined Web3 through EasyA’s in-app challenges and hackathons have gone on to get funded by a16z, YC, Founders Fund and many more top VCs. We’re bringing the top talent who will be able to do that on Polkadot.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and there are many different areas of the technical and ecosystem-wide funnel in Polkadot which we need to fix. However, we’re working night and day to get these builders launching the next big thing on Polkadot. This includes aligning efforts with Parity, Web3 Foundation, and other ecosystem support teams like Papermoon. Together, we’re nurturing a whole new wave of builders to breathe fresh life into Polkadot!

Thank you for taking the time to read our proposal for retroactive reimbursement. If you have any questions at all, or would like to get involved with our work bringing the next wave of builders to Polkadot, please do feel free to comment here! We’ve never been more excited about our work in the Polkadot ecosystem; it genuinely feels like we’ve started a renaissance here, hand in hand with the rest of the Polkadot ecosystem parachains, projects and stakeholders.

\-- Phil, Dom (EasyA Co-Founders) and the EasyA Team!

[Small Tipper] Tip for Creating a UI for the Substrate Kitties Tutorial

- The proposal is about improving security for Polkadot, a platform for building apps.
- It plans to help with audits, which check if projects are safe, and encourages new ways to make money.
- PAL has already helped secure many projects by sharing funds for security checks.
- The new changes will allow more types of projects, not just parachains, to apply for security help.
- Curators will make sure only trustworthy projects get funded by using different criteria.
- The proposal also suggests paying curators a monthly salary instead of a small fee, to motivate them more.
- New curators with strong security backgrounds are added to help improve Polkadot's safety.

treasurer

The PAL initiative proposes to expand its scope beyond parachain audits to a more holistic approach to Polkadot security, including coretime consumers, Solidity smart contracts, and common-good security initiatives. The proposal limits payouts to a maximum of $100,000 per chain and per 6 months, with a maximum of $250,000 for security tooling. The curator fee will be replaced with a monthly salary of $3,000 worth of DOT per curator. Two new curators will be added to the team.
