Apart from being simple and robust, your solution has the additional benefits that:
<ul>
<li>People are motivated to acquire a core as early as possible to secure a lower price.</li>
<li>Once someone has a core, they’re unlikely to give it up, since they want to keep their relatively cheap one.</li>
</ul>
I don’t think your solution is final or fully fleshed out yet, but it’s a solid suggestion and a great starting point for discussion.

Notion is an excellent tool for organization, I really like it, but it really has to be done manually, etc. But the level of control in Notion is fantastic!
I liked the idea of ​​the app that Daniel mentioned, it seems to solve part of the problem, but not the whole problem… I think it will need testing.
But any app developed to improve people’s work is always welcome!
Keep up the good work Anaelle <img src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/clap.png?v=14" title=":clap:" class="emoji" alt=":clap:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20">

Ok, I am in San Juan Puerto Rico which is one day behind you with 13 hours of difference in time. So I could speak to you any time from 7 am to 11 am your time, just let me know what is best for you. I am Bridgeforth on the server and I will send you a DM there. Thank you.

I was working some time ago on a airdrop type pallet to launch with the asset hub to allow evm devs to be able to get some tokens so they could deploy on the asset hub but unfortunately i hit some readblocks along the way. If thats something you think could still be usefull for the success of the hub i might dive into it again and maybe seek dome help from other devs also.

ohh ok cause i was curious about how you would actually profit from it since from what i got its a steam-like but you dont actually sell games so i was wondering where the revenue would come from.

Absolutely honored to read this, Shawn — thank you for the kind words and for spending time with us in Florida.
As one of the Polkadot Ambassadors here (as we know, it takes a team), I’m incredibly proud of the vibrant, welcoming, and deeply human-centered community we’ve cultivated in Miami. Your reflections capture exactly what we’ve worked so hard to build: a space where real relationships are prioritized, ideas are nurtured, and innovation is driven by empathy as much as by technology.
The energy here during Miami Mega Week was undeniable — not just from the events and activations, but from the people who showed up, listened, and leaned into possibility. If you’re in the Polkadot ecosystem (or even just curious), I invite you to come visit and experience firsthand what this kind of local engagement can produce. It’s not just about Miami—it’s a model for how we can grow meaningful ecosystems across North America and beyond.
Re: your comment about Miami being the gateway to LATAM, I am writing this reply from Panama, where I spent the last two days with the Polkadot team (from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) at Panama Blockchain Week. The President of Panama, the Mayor of Panama City, and all attendees are looking for innovative blockchain solutions. We were the only protocol in the room, and now working to activate a Polkadot community here as well. Many solid BD and IR opportunities to follow up on, as well as devs exploring our ecosystem now. Also see Shawn Tabrizi’s talk at Talent Land Mexico 2025 this week, and again, the results of the Polkadot team there. LATAM has opportunities everywhere…let’s go get them!
Grateful for your insights, Shawn—and excited for what’s ahead. <img src="https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/palm_tree.png?v=14" title=":palm_tree:" class="emoji" alt=":palm_tree:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20">

Hello,
We are glad to announce that we are part of the Ink!ubator 2.0 program to bring Verifiable Offchain Computing to ink! smart contracts (RISC-V + <code>pallet-revive</code>).
This post will be used to keep the community informed about our development progress.
<h2><a name="p-28734-project-overview-1" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-project-overview-1"></a>Project Overview</h2>
<h3><a name="p-28734-overview-2" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-overview-2"></a>Overview</h3>
On-chain computation capabilities are inherently limited by blockchain design, which affects all smart contract platforms including ink!. Our project aims to complement ink! smart contracts by providing verifiable off-chain computing capabilities through Phala Cloud’s Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), enabling developers to build more complex applications while maintaining blockchain security guarantees.
This solution bridges the gap between blockchain’s security and off-chain computational power through:
<ol>
<li>
A Professional SDK Suite
<ul>
<li>Enterprise-ready toolkit for seamless smart contract integration</li>
<li>Built-in ACID compliance for reliable state management</li>
<li>Production-grade security with TEE protection</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Production-Ready Oracle Suite
<ul>
<li>Price Feed Oracle: Real-time market data integration from CoinGecko</li>
<li>VRF Oracle: Cryptographically secure random number generation</li>
<li>Graph API Oracle: Universal indexer connectivity (SubQuery, Subsquid, The Graph, …)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Next-Generation AI Integration (Future implementation, outside of this grant)
<ul>
<li>Full Eliza OS integration for advanced AI capabilities</li>
<li>Direct LLM connectivity through Phala Cloud</li>
<li>Interactive proof-of-concept with Tic-Tac-Toe game</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h3><a name="p-28734-ink-ecosystem-impact-3" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-ink-ecosystem-impact-3"></a>Ink! Ecosystem Impact</h3>
Verifiable Offchain Computing is crucial for ink! smart contracts because it enables complex computations to be executed off-chain while ensuring their integrity and verifiability on-chain. Here’s why it matters:
<ol>
<li>
Interoperability with External Systems
<ul>
<li>Smart contracts often need to access external APIs, databases, and oracles.</li>
<li>Verifiable Offchain Computing ensures that off-chain data used in smart contracts is correct and tamper-proof.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Verifiable Computation
<ul>
<li>To ensure the integrity of off-chain computations, Remote Attestations are generated and Phala L2 Explorer tools simplify trustless verification.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Use Cases
<ul>
<li>Rollups: Off-chain execution with verification.</li>
<li>Oracles: Retrieve and verify off-chain data for smart contracts.</li>
<li>AI: Use AI/LLM in your ink! smart contracts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
In summary, Verifiable Offchain Computing provides many benefits and use cases for dApps developed with ink! smart contracts.
<h3><a name="p-28734-project-details-4" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-project-details-4"></a>Project Details</h3>
<h4><a name="p-28734-sdk-details-5" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-sdk-details-5"></a>SDK Details</h4>
The SDK will be designed to simplify the connection between smart contracts and dApps deployed on Phala Cloud. 
Its primary goal is to enable transactional and atomic cross-blockchain operations, ensuring seamless integration and interaction.
<h5><a name="p-28734-the-challenge-6" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-the-challenge-6"></a>The Challenge</h5>
Developing dApps that interact with blockchains can be a common but challenging task, especially when it comes to handling concurrency issues in off-chain programs. 
Without a proper synchronization mechanism, this may end up conflicting between the contracts and dApp deployed on Phala Cloud.
Consider a real-world scenario: a smart contract distributes computation tasks to workers. These workers compete with each other when claiming tasks from the blockchain. Ideally, each task should only be claimed once. However, without coordination among the workers, they might send transactions simultaneously to claim the same task, resulting in inconsistent smart contract states.
Consistent state management is crucial when developing an application that communicates with a blockchain. Developers need a reliable and transactional way to perform operations, where read and write tasks are combined into a single unit and executed atomically on the blockchain. This approach aligns with the ACID principle found in transactional database management systems.
The sdk is here to simplify development by providing a stable, ACID-compliant connection with ink! smart contracts. This eliminates concurrency issues and enables a request-response programming model for seamless interaction between the workers and on-chain smart contracts.
<h5><a name="p-28734-key-benefits-7" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-key-benefits-7"></a>Key Benefits</h5>
<ul>
<li>Seamless connectivity between ink! smart contracts and workers</li>
<li>Reliable KV-store on blockchains for durable state management</li>
<li>Transactional (ACID) on-chain KV-store designed for stateful dApps deployed on Phala Cloud</li>
<li>ACID-compliant read, write, and contract call operations for consistent data handling</li>
<li>Request-response programming model that simplifies interactions between worker and on-chain smart contracts</li>
</ul>
<h5><a name="p-28734-architectural-diagram-8" class="anchor" href="#p-28734-architectural-diagram-8"></a>Architectural Diagram</h5>
Ink! smart contracts, built with ink! v6, will be deployed on <code>pallet-revive</code> and an application, built on js/ts and using PAPI sdk, will be deployed on Phala Cloud.
Websocket and http requests will be used to communicate between the ink! smart contracts and the application on Phala Cloud.
Our sdk will manage the synchronization mechanism and the developers would have a reliable and transactional way to perform operations, where read and write tasks are combined into a single unit and executed atomically on the blockchain.
The SDK will be divided into two parts:
<ul>
<li>the client will be integrated as a Rust library within ink! smart contracts.</li>
<li>the rollup will be integrated as a JavaScript library within applications deployed on Phala Cloud.</li>
</ul>

Ink!ubator 2.0 program - Bring Verifiable Offchain Computing to ink! smart contracts (RISC-V + pallet-revive)

It looks promising as a proof-of-concept, but… I’m confused
According to the project link you shared, the first milestone includes most of the core functionality. However, although you indicate that the first milestone has been completed, the current state feels more like a basic mock-up rather than a feature-complete implementation. Taking a look at the goals of the first milestone:
<ol>
<li>Code Editor: Upgrade the Monaco editor with TypeScript-specific features for Polkadot API development, including autocompletion for polkadot-api functions, inline type checking, and parameter hints.</li>
</ol>
It has a few PAPI functions, but it gets completely lost on anything else. For instance, it’s not able to show parameter hints or type-checking for any interaction with the typedApi beyond “typedApi.query”.
<ol start="2">
<li>React Component Preview Panel: Implement the component rendering environment that displays real-time previews of React components as they are being edited, with proper error boundaries and state preservation.</li>
</ol>
This feature was difficult to discover, to open it is by clicking on the “Typescript” button above the code editor. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work, when activated it breaks with an error making it unusable.
Goals 3-5 is regarding state management, connection to a chain and its parachains.
The current implementation gives the impression that the code editor is still in a mocked-up state. Modifying the code and pressing run doesn’t really change anything about the result or what’s shown in the console. Or using the default example for “query account balance” on polkadot shows as if ALICE has 1223 DOT, which isn’t the actual value of ALICE.
And lastly, the UI is full of features that are half-implemented or non-functional. I would suggest focusing on completing and stabilizing individual components before moving to the next feature.
The concept is nice, but in its current state (version 1.0.0…) is not really usable as a sandbox. I’m looking forward to seeing this project come into live, but I’m worried it will get abandoned or not completed to its full potential if the current state represents “milestone 1”.

Dot Play Gaming in Polkadot - Strategy Update!

Thanks for sharing this <a class="mention" href="/u/nomadbitcoin">@nomadbitcoin</a> — the work your team is doing to onboard new developers into Polkadot is incredibly important and appreciated across the ecosystem.
At Pop, we’re focused on making it easier and more powerful for Rust developers to build with ink!, Polkadot’s native Rust-based smart contract language. With tools like <a href="https://pop.r0gue.io/cli/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Pop CLI</a>, we’re helping streamline the developer journey, from launching chains to deploying ink! contracts, reducing friction and accelerating adoption.
As Polkadot Cloud emerges as a strategic direction for the ecosystem, Pop Network, together with ink!, is uniquely positioned to help manifest this vision — providing the tooling and smart contract infrastructure needed to build composable, cross-chain (and in the future with JAM, cross-service) applications without the complexity of full parachain development.
We’d love explore ways to collaborate to help onboard Rust developers to the ecosystem seamlessly. Let’s keep building toward a more accessible and unified future for Polkadot.

Shifting the Focus: Onboarding Web2 Developers Instead of Competing for Web3 Talent

Thanks to <a class="mention" href="/u/olahfemi">@OlahFemi</a> for the advice, and it’s being followed strictly 
we look forward to working with you more.

It is polkadot “a place” ? A technology, a community, a network and an economy, maybe.
In the other hand, I would suggest to avoid “subjective” marketing gimmicks like “best” - why makes it the best? The slogan needs to give me info about the technology in a nutshell - it should be definitory. Best is a categorization that doesn’t mean anything except for us, as we said “it is the best”.
Language is a precision tool.

<code>virto-connect</code> is a simple front to make interaction with our trustless holy grail combo convenient: pallet-pass(no wallets) + “nft memberships with gas tank”(no tokens - part of my proposed <a href="https://forum.polkadot.network/t/sustainability-modezl-of-a-tokenless-protocol/8683">tokenless sustainability model</a>).
Behind the scenes pass works similar to pure proxies, it gives you a regular keyless SS58 account and allows you to register “devices” that can dispatch calls on behalf of the SS58 address, passkeys are the first kind of devices but more forms of authentication will come like verification of ZK proofs or oauth tokens.
Then you have the nft memberships, in Kreivo it’s configured centered around DAOs, with some KSM anyone can create a DAO and buy these special nfts that come with a “gas tank” and were minted by the governance of the protocol, in our case only DAOs can use the memberships to assign them to their users in whatever way the organization sees fit, for the demo a bot acting on behalf of a test DAO will give your pass account the membership it needs to submit extrinsics without having any balance. The bot is a centralized component but totally optional, you can have a DAO that adds members in other ways in including smart contracts.

Deciding

[Runtime 1.4.3] Upgrade Kusama Asset Hub

- A team will build a simple app called [kusama.app](https://kusama.app) for newcomers.  
- It helps people start projects or groups easily, even without Web3 knowledge.  
- No wallet or tokens needed to begin.  
- The app will include basic tools for managing groups and assets.  
- First step (Q2): Design and a working prototype.  
- Second step (Q3): A working DAO governance system.  
- Budget: 8000 KSM.  
- Curators will oversee the project.

DotShield is a new Web3 bot designed to improve security in Telegram and Discord communities within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. It helps with moderation, verification, and scam prevention. Here are some key points about DotShield:

1. It solves the problem of existing bots that use easy-to-bypass captchas instead of Web3 verification.
2. DotShield allows groups to set their own criteria for membership, like balance thresholds and council membership.
3. It is important because it helps protect Web3 communities from spam, bot invasions, and scams.
4. The creator of DotShield learned to code to make this solution after being frustrated with existing options.
5. DotShield has features like dynamic chain state verification, single sign-in for Web3 users, flexible moderation, scam prevention, and expansion to Discord.
6. The creator is asking for funding to support the deployment and expansion of DotShield.
7. Users have given DotShield good feedback, with suggestions for improvement like more detailed guides and better transparency about data handling.
8. Many users would recommend DotShield to others and support its adoption across the Polkadot ecosystem.
