Hello guys, my name is Leonardo and i'm Brazilian.

I did transfer my RMRK from GATE.IO to my Hardwallet, through the Network KUSAMA, but the asset didn't receive in my wallet.

The support Polkadot say to me that the asset is in the Network Kusama Asset Hub, and i don't know how to access my addres in the netwokr Kusama Asset Hub.

 can help-me?

## Dear Kusama community,
## Meet:

<img width="400" alt="LightSpell logo" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55763425/251588168-4855abc3-445a-4207-9a65-e891975be62c.png">


### The first 🥇 XCM API in Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem.
### A project that was awarded [first 🥇 place in Polkadot Hackathon Global Series APAC 2023 held in South Korea](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/angelhack_polkadothackathonapac-activity-7108072292718428160-i1dr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop).

### The advantages of LightSpell⚡️ XCM API for developers:
- Simplified XCM message construction via unified patterns
- XCM API reduces call construction time to seconds
- Built-in user error prevention for seamless operation
- Built-in Token authentication for DDoS prevention
- Easy to use tech stack: Typescript, Nest.js, ParaSpell XCM-SDK
- Completely free with an MIT license
- Also designed for simple private deploy
- XCM API handles complex logic and you are only required to provide basic details to create calls (Junctions and other complex details are auto-filled for you)
- API Offloads your server from heavy computing required to construct calls (You receive constructed message already)
- API saves you server costs (Because of the reason mentioned above)
- API features Package-less integration (No need to install anything compared to SDK alternatives)
- API is simple to implement (Constructed to be as dev-friendly as possible)
- API is already live on the following link: https://api.lightspell.xyz

## These are our metrics since Sep. 13th 2023 (The day that API went Live)
<img width="1186" alt="Screenshot " src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55763425/268560462-f0d4aecc-a94c-4be5-8387-5eb729441bf0.png">

We can see stable growth in requests and unique users. API has been up for 5 days now and we cannot wait to see what it can achieve in 5 months from now.

## This is how XCM API works
![howapiworks](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55763425/268458206-27e4b2db-adfa-4fb2-8b47-ba29d8c2162a.gif)

In the following gif, you can see different XCM calls being created and useful asset query operations (Unique to our API and SDK). These are especially handful for front-end use cases.

## Implementation made easy with our docs
Meet our comprehensive docs covering just about every topic developers will meet with when implementing XCM and our tools into their dAPPs.
![docsgif](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55763425/268457700-ec761625-1963-46c0-8edc-9e7af3b02c4e.gif)

## Our team and history:
- By now we completed 4 Web 3 Foundation grants meant to fund the development of our common good tools. This goes to show our dedication to the topic and the community. They can be observed here: [Phase 1](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1118), [Phase 2](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1245), [Phase 3](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1589) & [Phase 4](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1817). 
- The idea of maintenance funding was suggested by Web 3 Foundation here: [Proposal](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1541#issuecomment-1441342524)
- We have been granted trust from you - the Kusama community in the following grant which helped us further perfect our XCM SDK: [Grant application ParaSpell XCM SDK Upgrade proposal](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/123)
- Our latest achievement is getting 🥇first place at the Polkadot Global Series APAC 2023 Hackathon in the XCM Integration track. [Here is the final announcement post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/angelhack_polkadothackathonapac-activity-7108072292718428160-i1dr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop).
 
**The team behind the project has been hacking in the Polkadot ecosystem for a while now.**
The team consists of 2 members:
- Dušan Morháč: [Recent PBA 2023 Buenos Aires Alumni](https://singular.app/collectibles/statemine/20/12), Building in ecosystem since 2021, [LINKEDIN](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dudo50/), [GITHUB](https://github.com/dudo50)
- Michael Absolon: Typescript expert with 2 years of experience, Building in the ecosystem since 2022, [LINKEDIN](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael--absolon/), [GITHUB](https://github.com/michaeldev5)

## Aim of this proposal:
The proposal aims to aid server costs and maintenance for the 🥇 first XCM API in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. Maintaining XCM API also includes maintaining its core component - XCM SDK. These common good tools will be fully maintained for the mentioned period starting on 1st October and ending on 1st February. This proposal allows both tools to remain completely free for the entire Polkadot and Kusama community. It also allows our team to dedicate time to help other teams that wish to implement our tools.

Our proposal was discussed on the Kusamarian show episode [AAG66](https://www.youtube.com/live/c_sp7fU7knM?si=6-fsH5FdrvZ_6VMU&t=2918) 

LightSpell has developed the first XCM API in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem, which simplifies XCM message construction, reduces call construction time, and is user-friendly. The API is free and has an MIT license. It has been live since September 13th, 2023, and has seen stable growth in requests and unique users. The API is designed to handle complex logic, and developers only need to provide basic details to create calls. LightSpell's team consists of two members, and they have been hacking in the Polkadot ecosystem for a while. The proposal aims to aid server costs and maintenance for the XCM API and XCM SDK, which will remain completely free for the entire Polkadot and Kusama community. The proposal schedule includes discussion from September 18th to September 24th, 2023, and voting from September 25th to October 8th, 2023.

XCM API & XCM SDK 5 months of maintenance and server cost coverage 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  ！

SubSquare is a platform for blockchain governance. They have finished integrating with Kusama and are requesting funds for their services. The budget includes a basic setup fee of $10k and a customization fee of $15k for adapting old proposals, syncing info from Polkassembly, and tweaking the frontend. The total budget is $25k. The payment will be based on the latest KSM price.

Fellowship Candidate Contextual Summary

Dear Community!

[Polkawatch](https://kusama.polkawatch.app/) provides decentralization analytics for Kusama.

We recently delivered improved observability for Polkawatch based on Node-Red, improved its plugin, and shared it all with our community in a [blog post](https://blog.polkawatch.app/polkawatch-observability/) in case anyone finds it useful.

We also added Parachain Support, including those based on Aura consensus, and included decentralization analytics for [Statemine](https://statemine.polkawatch.app/), sharing it in another [blog post](https://blog.polkawatch.app/parachain-support-statemine/).

Along the process we found [2 issues](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6696) in Polkadot/substrate, and collaborated with the developer teams during the resolution.

We also implemented community feedback, adding Scaleway as redundant IPFS endpoint, instead of using only Hetzner.

We are now seeking for 9 months Continued operation for Polkawatch.

The proposal has been created in a context in which our Treasure is constrained. As such we have deferred new developments and claim operational costs only after 50% has been delivered, in an attempt to contribute to improve the cash-flow position of our Treasury.

You can find all the details in our [detailed proposal](https://pwh.li/ksm23q13p), and do not hesitate to provide additional feedback.


Polkawatch is a website that helps people understand how Kusama works.

They made some improvements to their website and shared it with their community.

They added support for Parachains and shared it in another blog post.

They found two problems with Polkadot/substrate and worked with the developers to fix them.

They listened to feedback from the community and made changes to their website.

They are asking for money to keep their website running for 9 more months.

Treasury Proposal: Kusama decentralization analytics, 9 months Continued operation (50% already delivered)

Better treasury system - invitation to review a project

Dear Kusama community,

**On behalf of our team** , we propose the maintenance bounty of a common good tool enhancing experience on the Polkadot ecosystem - ParaSpell XCM SDK & XCM UI that will work to aid team that have been previously funded by Kusama treasury ([link](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/123)) the Basilisk Parachain team ([link1](https://basilisk.subsquare.io/treasury/proposal/2), [link2](https://basilisk.subsquare.io/treasury/proposal/4)) and the Web3 Foundation ([phase1](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1118),[phase2](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1245),[phase3](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1589)) which also proposed the idea of Treasury maintenance funding for this project here: [link](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1541#issuecomment-1441342524) 

More information on previous project funding and achievements can be found in our official docs: [link](https://paraspell.github.io/docs/#project-achievements-so-far)

This maintenance proposal is for maintaining repositories and performing continued operations to improve XCM SDK & XCM UI in many useful ways mentioned in our application document below.

We believe that this tool is needed in Polkadot ecosystem and we are working very hard to prove this. Unification of XCM pallets which are currently very diverse can bring ease of integration and speed up dApp development significantly.

Treasury Proposal: KusamaHub 2' Proposal for Continued Operations and Development

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!

- The proposal is about creating a content hub for Italian-speaking users in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- They want to create content that will attract more Italian-speaking users to the ecosystem.
- The content will be hosted on a decentralised blogging platform and become the main content hub for the Italian community.
- Their mission is to increase the availability and quality of content in Italian, establish a trustworthy source of information, and empower the Italian community to be part of the Polkadot Arena.

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! 


- The Polkadot Fellowship is a group of experts who work with the Polkadot meta-protocol.
- They are accepting new members through a 2-step process of proposal submission.
- A change in the pallet is needed for new members to register in a trustless manner.
- The Technical Education Team by W3F has helped create a process for accepting new members.

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.

- Polkascan team talked to Subsquid team about using their blockchain data archivers and public APIs for Polkascan Explorer.
- They want to combine their efforts to expand their data library and explorer with the public Subsquid services.

- You can find all the details in their proposal document.
- They are happy to answer any questions.

Subsquid integration with Polkascan block explorer (upcoming Treasury Proposal)

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.
