- A request was made for $165,000 to develop a Coretime Marketplace for Polkadot.
- The team reached their first milestone and is close to finishing the second.
- They launched the parachain on Rococo and will soon support Coretime trading.
- The payment received was less than expected due to a drop in the price of DOT.
- They received $116,446 instead of the full amount.
- They are asking for an extra $48,554 to cover the price difference.

WHO: The proposal was made by the Coretime team.

WHAT: The team is requesting a top-up of $48,554 USDT to cover the price difference for the development of a Coretime Marketplace for Polkadot.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: The initial request was for $165,000 at 9.478$ per DOT. The team received $116,446 at 6.69$ per DOT. The top-up request is for $48,554 USDT. No timeframe or additional resources were mentioned.

StorageHub is a decentralized storage solution developed by Moonsong Labs, funded by the Web3 Foundation. It is designed to work well with Polkadot's features, making it strong, fast, and able to work with other systems. Here are some reasons why StorageHub is important:

1. It works easily with Polkadot without needing complicated setups.
2. It has two types of storage providers, which makes it flexible and keeps data safe.
3. It makes payments easier for users.
4. It helps the Polkadot community grow by providing a platform for new ideas.

The team wants to make sure StorageHub is safe and reliable, so they are asking for money to have it checked by SRLabs, a company that knows a lot about keeping things safe in the world of blockchain.

You can learn more about StorageHub and Moonsong Labs by visiting their websites and reading their proposal. They also want to hear your ideas to make StorageHub even better.

**What is StorageHub?**

As part of the Decentralized Futures program sponsored by the Web3 Foundation, Moonsong Labs has been awarded a grant to develop the open-source codebase for a decentralized storage solution, optimized for larger data sets and file-based storage, that has been affectionately dubbed “StorageHub”. StorageHub is designed to integrate seamlessly with Polkadot’s native functionalities, promoting robustness, scalability, and interoperability.

**Why StorageHub?**

-   **Seamless Integration**: Unlike current solutions that require complex setups or rely on external systems, StorageHub's design aims to offer a fully integrated, native experience within Polkadot.
-   **Dual Provider Model**: Introduces Main and Backup Storage Providers, enhancing flexibility and ensuring data unstoppability without compromising on decentralization.
-   **Simplified Payments**: Through continuous payment streams, StorageHub's design seeks to simplify the user experience, balancing the ease of one-time payments with sustainable, incentive-aligned ongoing contributions.
-   **Community and Ecosystem Growth**: StorageHub's codebase not only aims to serve as a foundational infrastructure for storage, but also seeks to support the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem by hopefully providing a platform for innovative decentralized applications.

**Proposal Overview:**

As engineers, we strongly believe that auditing new code is not only best practice, but that is also in Polkadot’s best interest. Audits were not funded under the Decentralized Futures grant and therefore this proposal specifically seeks funding for the audit of this decentralized storage codebase. This audit, conducted by SRLabs, a leader in blockchain security, is essential to ensure that StorageHub's codebase meets the highest standards of security and reliability. This collaborative effort with SRLabs highlights our commitment to best practices in engineering and our dedication to enhancing Polkadot's infrastructure.

### Summary

- **ink! analyzer** is a tool for analyzing [ink!](https://use.ink) smart contracts, similar to how [rust-analyzer](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer) works for Rust.
- It helps developers by providing intelligent editing features and understanding ink! contract rules.
- The tool is available as a [Visual Studio Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ink-analyzer.ink-analyzer) with over 415 unique installs.
- It has a modular architecture that allows it to be used in various IDEs and code editors that support the Language Server Protocol (LSP).
- The current proposal requests $56,750 for adding ink! 4.x to 5.0 migration features and other improvements.
- Previous funding for the project came from Web3 Foundation grants and a retroactive treasury proposal.
- The author, David Semakula, is an experienced software engineer and systems architect with contributions to both rust-analyzer and ink!.

WHO: David Semakula
WHAT: Requests retroactive funding of $56,750 for adding ink! 4.x to 5.0 migration features and other major improvements to ink! analyzer.
TIMEFRAME: Not specified.
RESOURCES: ink! analyzer, modular and reusable libraries and tools for semantic analysis of ink! smart contracts.

- The Polkadot Fellowship has a new feature called `spend()`.
- This feature allows different types of payments in cryptocurrencies like DOT and USDT.
- It was added with the Polkadot Runtime 1.1 upgrade.
- The goal is to test the `spend()` feature by sending Alice and Bob 69 USDT, which is a funny number.
- Changes include faster payments and the ability to pay in stable currencies.
- The test showed some instructions were incorrect, which could lead to errors.
- The payment goes to a company account called Polkalytics.
- This proposal is being carefully reviewed to fix any issues before going live.

The proposal aims to raise awareness and test the new `spend()` extrinsic introduced by the Polkadot Fellowship, which supports multi-asset Treasury spends from an XCM multi-location to be paid out at a specific block. The proposal suggests sending 69 USDT to Alice and Bob's Polkalytics account to test the extrinsic. No timeframe or additional resources are mentioned.
