MinIO is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage that can be used on public clouds, Kubernetes, private clouds, and the edge. Acurast, a decentralized verifiable compute network powered by phones, is partnering with MinIO to provide decentralized storage for Polkadot-native projects and enterprises. The main goal of this partnership is to create an MVP integration of MinIO in Acurast's decentralized compute environment, allowing developers to access MinIO through Acurast's native P2P layer. This will include creating storage buckets, configurable access control, benchmarking replications and costs, and providing detailed developer documentation and examples. Acurast's network uses billions of smartphones to run secure applications on decentralized infrastructure without compromising speed or privacy.

[Big Tipper] Referendum #1519

In 2025, Polkadot is focusing on launching a new EVM-compatible smart contract platform called Polkadot Hub and evolving Polkadot Cloud. OpenZeppelin, which completed four OpenGov proposals in 2024, is working with Parity to support the launch of Polkadot Hub and continue supporting Polkadot Cloud. OpenZeppelin has experience in developer enablement, especially targeting native Solidity developers and DeFi protocols for Polkadot Hub. They have a strong presence in the ecosystem, with $20 trillion USD of value transferred across their contracts, a 19% market share of all transactions on all chains, and 100% penetration across top 50 DeFi protocols. OpenZeppelin is also involved in cross-ecosystem initiatives like interop, privacy/ZK, and standards creation. They are working with Parity following the completion of the last treasury proposal, marking the beginning of their official working relationship.

Polkadot-API 2025 Development Funding through Polkadot Community Foundation

- A new proposal is being made to improve how users can move assets from Ethereum to Polkadot using Snowbridge.
- Many users are frustrated because they can't use their assets once they bridge them, mainly due to not enough liquidity (availability of money) in the system.
- The proposal asks for about $2,000 in DOT tokens to help create a better system for users to pay fees.
- This money will be used to increase the available liquidity for users, making it easier for them to swap assets.
- The goal is to have users enjoy a better experience and help them use their assets throughout the Polkadot ecosystem.
- The funds will be managed by two trusted people to ensure everything is done correctly.
- Overall, this will help more people use Polkadot and make it a better place for everyone.

Peer3 is creating an open-source Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows users to execute smart contracts directly with each other, bypassing the need for blockchain interaction. This project aims to improve the user experience of Polkadot by providing a real-time execution environment without transaction fees. The SDK enables real-time interactions, seamless interactions, and security from distributed ledgers. Peer3 has successfully delivered all milestones for a Level 3 Grant from the Web3 Foundation and is now seeking treasury funding for a production version of the SDK. The proposal includes a delayed payment of 350k USDT upfront and a delayed payment of 250k USDT and 30k DOT after 6 months. The funds will be used to hire more talent and cover operational costs. The project has potential use cases in gaming, payments, consumer applications, supply chain management, data marketplaces, social apps, and decentralized finance.

- This proposal aims to improve how users can transfer USDT and USDC, which are stablecoins, to the Polkadot system.
