- A proposal (Referendum 193) was approved to make the RMRK token sufficient.
- The proposal didn't work because it used the wrong origin type (`Xcm` instead of `Root`).
- Statemine expects the origin to be either "Root" or "Majority of the Council."
- The RMRK proposal used `Xcm`, so it failed the check.
- A new proposal is being made to fix this by using the correct origin (Majority of the Council).
- The community already approved the idea, so this is just a technical fix.
- Please review and vote on the new proposal!

Proposal for RMRK token sufficiency on Statemine: An Amended Proposal

- **Problem**: As the Dotsama network grows, it's harder for people to make good decisions. Also, only a few media outlets control the story, and they are funded privately.
- **Solution**: Decentralize the story of Dotsama to make information fair and open.
- **How**: 
  - Use a Discord bot to reward researchers and content creators with Treasury Bounty.
  - Content Directors can give custom "value emojis" to reward good work.
  - People get paid weekly for sharing or creating original content.
  - Everyone can join, and everything is transparent.
  - A public dashboard shows bounties in real time.
  - Multiple projects can support the same group of researchers and creators.
- **Proof of Work**:
  - A trial ran from January 10 to April 10.
  - 11 treasuries participated.
  - 495 pieces of content were created.
  - Some participants became full or part-time builders.
- **More Info**: Check the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m9Bo8fH408BV5t2ODvindl4S0W2BfbtDxrwAl9j71k0/edit#).
- **Feedback**: Questions and suggestions are welcome! Visit [WagMedia](https://treasury.bright.dev/bounties/discord.gg/YUXqjVXWtp) to learn more.

- RMRK is a team working on NFTs (digital collectibles) in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.
- They have created over 6,700 NFT collections and have more than 35,000 active collectors.
- RMRK introduced NFT 2.0, which lets NFTs do more things, like being a song and a picture at the same time.
- They are working on making their token, $RMRK, easier to use for everyone, including people who are new to crypto.
- Right now, using $RMRK on Statemine (a part of Kusama) is tricky because users need KSM tokens first.
- RMRK wants to fix this by making $RMRK sufficient, meaning users won’t need KSM to use it.
- They are also building a metaverse called Skybreach, which will be a big part of their project.
- RMRK is asking the community to vote on making $RMRK easier to use.
