### Polkadot RPC Service Proposal

- **Purpose**: To cover maintenance costs for a new RPC service to help decentralize the Polkadot network.
- **Location**: Hosted in Scandinavia.
- **Current Status**: The service is already publicly available.
- **Pull Request**: Submitted to [polkadot-js/apps](https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/6116).
- **Full Proposal**: Available [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fHGFJfPmssOzS3u0JCXHvaYsMe5yHbcx4rgOCkRJScQ/edit).
- **DOT Rate**: Calculated using a 30-day average tool by [Subscan](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price).

 Proposal: Polkadot RPC node Dwellir

### Polkadot Treasury Proposal Summary

- **MIDL.dev** is an Estonian company providing blockchain database snapshots for the Polkadot network.
- **Services** include daily snapshots, a website (polkashots.io) for downloads, and incident management.
- **Snapshots** are pruned, compressed, and help validators quickly restore or set up their infrastructure.
- **Costs** include labor (1200 EUR/month) and cloud expenses (Google Cloud, premium tier).
- **Usage** shows about 10 downloads per day, with costs rising due to parachains.
- **Benefits** include faster recovery and network resilience.
- **Proposal** is for the Polkadot portion of the service, similar to a Kusama proposal already accepted.

Polkashots.io maintenance

- Shell upgraded Statemint's runtime, but block production failed due to key type mismatch.
- Aura uses sr25519 keys, but Statemint's genesis keys were ed25519.
- A temporary runtime was created to allow ed25519 keys in Aura.
- This fix will be enacted on the Relay Chain for validator signature validation.
- Once block production resumes, Aura will be upgraded back to sr25519 keys.
- Call hash: `0x0e21b5233c7591ee89eca0cae71cf9a9a4c45fe2393075ab33361a673f5d322d`

Fix Statemint - Aura Key Scheme

- This update follows [Referendum 46](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/46), which failed due to no default XCM version.
- Polkadot now requires a minimum safe XCM version to prevent vulnerabilities.
- This is Polkadot's first cross-chain interaction, so the version was not set initially.
- The new batch includes the same two calls as Referendum 46.
- An additional call sets Polkadot's default XCM version to 2.
- This ensures safe cross-chain messaging.

Upgrade Shell to Statemint (with XCM Fix)

- Patract proposes to cover maintenance costs for Polkadot projects in 2021.
- They provide dev tools and services for Polkadot's Wasm contract tech stack.
- Supported by Polkadot Treasury, they developed **Redspot, Europa, Elara, zkMega, Metis**.
- The proposal aims to handle maintenance due to breaking changes in 2021.
- Budget and tasks are detailed in [the treasury submission](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/treasury/78).

Patract Labs' maintenance cost for Polkadot of 2021

Polkadot and Kusama are innovative projects that aim to make the cryptocurrency ecosystem more accessible to developers and end-users. LocalCoinSwap is a platform that aims to bridge the gap between technology and accessibility by providing a simple system for users to purchase cryptocurrency directly from each other. They use decentralized technology to protect traders from fraud or hacking, while abstracting the need to understand the underlying technology from non-technical end-users.

LocalCoinSwap's mission is to provide a platform where users can buy and sell KSM and DOT for any local fiat currency in every region of the world. They will extend their P2P cryptocurrency exchange to support non-custodial wallets and trading for these assets, ensuring no platform risk, no political risk, and a high level of anonymity for users.

A decentralized fiat on-ramp is essential for the adoption of Polkadot, as it allows users to own and use KSM/DOT without having to purchase intermediate cryptocurrencies. LocalCoinSwap believes that creating mainstream accessibility to the next generation of blockchain applications is crucial for their success.

### Summary of Scheduled Transactions

1. **Two Transactions**: Two scheduled transactions will be executed. The first sets storage keys, and the second authorizes an upgrade.

2. **Set Storage**: The `set_storage` call sets important storage items, including:
   - Aura collators
   - `SafeXcmVersion` to `2`

3. **Authorize Upgrade**: This call authorizes the upgrade of Shell to a new runtime.

4. **XCM Dispatch**: Both calls are constructed on Shell and dispatched via XCM from the Relay Chain.

5. **Polkadot Proposal**: The proposal schedules these messages to dispatch from Polkadot to Shell, ensuring they are processed separately.

6. **Call Data**: Specific call data is provided for both the `set_storage` and authorize upgrade calls.

7. **Execution Timing**: The transactions are scheduled to dispatch 5 and 20 blocks after enactment, with sufficient weight to ensure execution.

8. **Call Hash**: The call hash for the proposal is provided, along with visual aids for reference.

Jorge Ruiz, leader of the Air Protocol team, has proposed the creation of LocalKSM, a P2P exchange for KSM tokens. The project will include an app for iOS and Android, allowing users to list proposals for buying or selling KSM at specified rates and payment methods. The Air Protocol is blockchain agnostic and aims to support KSM and potentially DOTs in the future. Ruiz's previous experience includes co-founding Airtm, a platform for digital P2P dollars. The team is enthusiastic about Polkadot and Kusama and plans to develop the Air Protocol chain as a Parachain on Polkadot. The proposal can be found at the provided IPFS and Google Drive links.
