Treasury Proposal: Retroactive Funding for Dotmemo - Onchain Event Memories for Polkadot

Context

Dotmemo is a decentralized, permissionless, and free-to-use platform built natively on Polkadot Asset Hub that allows anyone to create and mint verifiable digital memories of events. These blockchain-based memos serve as permanent records of participation in both online and offline events, enhancing community engagement across the Polkadot ecosystem.

Problem Statement

Before dotmemo, the Polkadot ecosystem lacked a native, decentralized solution for creating and managing digital event memories. This absence made it challenging for event organizers, communities, and projects within the Polkadot ecosystem to easily mint, distribute, and verify attendance NFTs without relying on centralized services.

Objectives

Secure retroactive funding for the development and deployment of dotmemo.
Enhance community engagement through blockchain-based proof of attendance.
Provide a robust, Polkadot-native dApp for creating and collecting digital memories of events.

Solution

Dotmemo's implemented solution involves four core components:

Indexer: A high-performance indexer to track POAP-related activities across Polkadot.
Backend: A scalable server infrastructure to manage POAP logistics.
Frontend - Landing Page: An informative and engaging introduction to dotmemo.
Frontend - Claim and Create Pages: Intuitive interfaces for users to claim POAPs and for organizers to create them.
Maintenance — maintain uptime of the app, develop new features, support the ecosystem teams

Budget

Total requested: $42,000 in USDT

Breakdown:

Indexer Development: $6,930
Backend Development: $8,460
Frontend - Landing Page: $6,120
Frontend - Claim and Create Pages: $7,650
Maintenance (6 months): $12,840

Report

Quantitative Metrics:

Total memories (POAPs) minted: 3,000+
Unique events supported: 10+
Unique users: 3,000+
Networks deployed on: 2 (Polkadot and Kusama)
Largest single event supported: 1,500 attendees (Polkadot Decoded 2023)

Qualitative Achievements:

Enhanced community engagement and event participation in the Polkadot ecosystem
Successful collaborations with universities and major ecosystem events
Developed innovative features specific to Polkadot's infrastructure
Demonstrated adaptability to various event types and scales

Dotmemo is a decentralized platform on Polkadot Asset Hub that lets people create digital memories of events. These memories, called POAPs, are like special tokens that show you were part of an event. Before Dotmemo, there wasn't an easy way to make these tokens on Polkadot without using other services.

The people who made Dotmemo want to get money to keep making it better. They have four main parts to their plan:

An Indexer to track POAP activities.
A Backend to manage POAP logistics.
A Frontend with a landing page and pages to claim and create POAPs.
Maintenance to keep the app running and add new features.

They are asking for $42,000 to do this. They have already made over 3,000 POAPs, helped more than 10 events, and had over 3,000 users. They have also worked with big events and universities in the Polkadot world.
