Hello dear community,
we would like to present our proposal for funding the creation of the Italian Content Hub for six months.

**Short description:**

The proposal includes: content development and implementation of a Web3 blogging platform that leverages the technologies available in the Polkadot ecosystem.

**Details:**

As the Polkadot ecosystem grows, it will need to find an ever-increasing number of experts in order to supervise its every aspect, and guarantee the best possible development of the network. There are bound to be excellent candidates for these roles whose native language is not English, or who may be more comfortable in learning about and participating in Polkadot using their own language. We want to contribute to the sustainable growth of the network by creating a content hub that allows content localisation for Italian network participants.

Our goal is to create content that will attract more Italian-speaking users toward the Polkadot ecosystem. The content will be hosted on a decentralised blogging platform, which will in turn become the main content hub for the Italian community.

**Our Mission**
This is what we aspire to:

Substantially increase the availability and quality of content in Italian, thus creating a foundation of must-have materials where users can learn and interact with the community and the network in their native language.
Establish a trustworthy source of information about the Polkadot Ecosystem for incrementing the number of Italian participants in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Become the point of reference for the Italian community by sharing both translated and original content on a Web3 blogging platform, while bringing together as much as possible the disjointed Italian communities and ambassadors of the various Polkadot projects.
Empowering the Italian community to be part of Polkadot Arena by allowing anyone to bring their own contributions to the Italian community.

**Full proposal**
You can read the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RwOWrLDKXmP3_0QkwRfQnG6w0eKDd4ZYWoygHM6hTkk/edit)

Thank you for supporting the project.
We are looking forward to contributing to the ecosystem!

Creation of the Italian Content Hub

The Polkadot Fellowship is a rules-based ranked-membership organisation administered and empowered through blockchain logic hosted on Kusama. The Fellowship aims to embody the expertise over the protocol, its formalisation and design which is utilised by any realisation of the Polkadot meta-protocol (i.e.: a node implementation), as well as any specific realisation of the Polkadot runtime and any code or technology primarily utilised for the routine maintenance of the network and without which would seriously inhibit the network's potential to sustain itself.

This post opens the discussion for the next phase of the collective (after its seeding by [TC motion no.166](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/tech/166)): the acceptance of **candidacies** by new potential members and their promotion to **Dan I**. 

In short, the acceptance of a new member in the Fellowship is, for now, a 2-step process, including:

1. The submission of a proposal by a member of a new candidacy (in conversation with a potential candidate)
2. The submission of a proposal by a member of the promotion of the candidate (if step 1 is approved)

**Note:** In order for any account to register and become a Candidate for the Fellowship in a trustless manner for a basic deposit, one change will need to be done in the pallet to allow this origin. We are working on this change.

With the great help from the Technical Education Team by W3F (thank you, Radha!) the complete process on how the Fellowship can accept new candidates and members can be reviewed [HERE](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nHa-7Na4u52CTZzq87HaKNptGjyQDWm9H7s7GRjJpMU/edit?usp=sharing): please leave your feedback on this post! 


Technical Fellowship, Candidacy Initiation And Promotion: A Step By Step for New Members

Team [Polkascan](https://polkascan.org/) has had conversations with the people from [Subsquid](https://subsquid.io/) in which we agreed that their blockchain data archivers and public API's (Squids) are a good fit for our [Polkascan Explorer](https://github.com/polkascan/explorer). We would like to combine their efforts with ours and expand our data library and explorer with the public Subsquid services. After doing research, we've created a new proposal to make this possible. We would like to discuss this plan with the Kusama community.

You can find all details in our [proposal document](https://github.com/polkascan/social-contract/blob/master/kusama/treasury-proposal-subsquid-integration-polkadapt-abstraction.md). We're happy to answer your questions.

Subsquid integration with Polkascan block explorer (upcoming Treasury Proposal)

SubSquare is a governance platform designed for substrate based blockchains. We are very happy to tell that we have finished the integration for kusama. This proposal includes the cost details and the services OpenSquare will provide.

## Budget

Generally our fund request include following items:
- Basic setup fee $10k, including the basic stuff design, code setting, server setup, etc.
- Customization fee, $15K for kusama, and it won't be double charged from polkadot. The work we have done includes:
  - Old democracy/treasury on-chain proposals adapt. The logics to handle them is somewhat different from the latest pallet logics. We even have to calculate the tally for old democracy referendums.
  - Contextual info sync from Polkassembly. Currently we show the content when there is no content in subsquare but PA has it.
  - Fronted issues adaption or tweaks, including the customization for very large calls, prime voter view, etc.
- Maintenance fee. We may request it in a quarter or semiannual way, 0 in this request.

So the total budget is:

| Items      |   Cost  |
| ----------- |  -----------    |
| Basic setup      | $10,000
| Customization        | $15,000  |
| Total        |  $25,000   |  

## Payment conditions
Considering the gap between the KSM EMA30 and the latest price, we hope the amount can be calculated based on the latest KSM price. Thanks！

**KusamaHub **is an Analytic Tool. We collect all NFTs projects information from the Blockchain and we store them in our Database.

We also get data from Twitter, Discord, Telegram, project’s websites and, even more important, we provide the users with the opportunity to communicate and discuss projects with more transparency from both Collector's and Creator's sides.

Based on the information collected and the user’s opinion, we make detailed analytics, which helps estimate the NFT Projects or a Creator, and get all information about sales, prices changes, holders.

**KusamaHub **provides different tools and widgets, such as Calendar, News, and more. Our goal is to give the community a better analytics tool full of features with information about Kusama NFT Projects and Creators.

We get information about NFTs directly from the Blockchain to give users detailed statistics about Sales, Holders and more, at the same time Creators are required to fulfill different information about their Projects.

Users first - is our motto, Transparency - is our language: Users at any time can vote or leave a comment about their feeling on a Project Page or directly under the Creator Page. Easy-to-use and easy-to-manage, in a single platform a user will be able to see all the information from Twitter Account, their Telegram Channel and their Discord Server, also it is possible for Users to see all the Mentions that a project receives on Twitter. For Creators and Users will be available the Calendar Tool allowing Projects to program new lists and auctions on a certain date, and every user will be able to see this. Creators have the opportunity to write down in the Project Page full information about their projects.

We are pleased in receiving any questions and suggestion about our project and idea about it's realization.

KusamaHub

During the **Q1** of 2022 **Chrawnna Corp.** delivered 5 weekday Dotsama-focused news videos every week and established a prototype of **WagMedia** — a Discord-based reward delivery system focused on connecting those who want to Share, Create, and Distribute the Story of Dotsama with sources of funding. 

In **Q2**, The Kusamarian brand was created, gaining over 1000 followers on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian), aiming to deliver even more frequent content with contributions from some of the strongest participants in WagMedia, growing the production team to 8. The team is fantastically agile, able to push out high quality and up to date content, interviews, or Special Series such as the ongoing [**Polkadot Decoded Reloaded**](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtyd7v_I7PGlgPCXuIs55wwnbk594Kecw) event. All content from the quarter can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNw3CEyOD-bjjYYaxVyG3Q/) and our **Proof of Work** including all research, rough work, references, SEO, and Spending History is publicly available [here](https://flying-wolf-8be.notion.site/Q2-Content-Report-40b59b62222c46a6ac738359b8704b05).

Several Treasuries were also plugged into **WagMedia** over the last 2 quarters including Polka Häus, Jam’s Cave, Lucky Friday, Astar/Shiden, RMRK, Crust, Moonbeam/Moonriver, Solarbeam, Scytale Ventures, Bifrost, and the Kusama Treasury via Bounty #12. More are on the way!

In **Q3 & 4** we are requesting to spend the same rates for content production with a slightly reduced output adjusted to market sentiment. We're also reintroducing a Tutorial show for when attention returns to the ecosystem as well as mastering our catalogue of [60+ interviews](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtyd7v_I7PGkq7KUe3ep3lFLgKG97Z2AO) for distribution on popular podcast platforms.  For each quarter we are requesting to spend aprox. 14% less than **Q2**

We are, however, for the first time additionally proposing to spend 14% of the requested **8002.8 KSM** on further developing **WagMedia** which endeavours to handle all content-focused tip and spending proposals previously put at the foot of the council. Goals over the next 2 quarters include, expanding our peer-reviewed [translation](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tRgAZjAmdEEZx9m40lFDIAzCtghpY0SAleLQrTnMetQ/edit#gid=0) and non-anglo community units, opening our Marketing department, and further decentralizing award distribution with the development of our bot, **The Concierge**. A proposal to top up **Bounty #12** to handle the Spend Proposal and Translation features (not part of the original curatorship) will follow shortly.

For now please dive into [**The Kusamarian 6 Month Maintenance Proposal**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_C34F07_LgY6DLgiXiLxbkMY_YH53if6esNhxXXYDG4/edit?usp=sharing) where you can meet our team, see what they propose to spend, and what they'll continue to build.

Thank you for supporting **Chrawnna Corp.** from a small tutorial youtube channel to what is today. We work every day to create top quality content in line with Token Holder interests with **The Kusamarian**. And with **WagMedia** we put the treasury to work by connecting it to eager content creators Decentralizing the Story of Dotsama within a productive and supportive community.

Your comments, questions, and constructive suggestions are most welcome.
