- DOT can be used on Kusama through a special bridge.  
- Around 4900 DOT are on Kusama right now.  
- DOT can be sent to Kusama’s Treasury for spending.  
- A rate is set to control how much DOT can be spent (1 DOT = 10 USDC/USDT).  
- Kusama uses a rate of 1 KSM = 4 DOT for spending limits.  
- DOT and KSM have different decimal places (DOT: 10, KSM: 12).  
- This rate helps Kusama’s treasury understand DOT amounts correctly.  
- The rate is set by a governance vote.

Deciding

Set Asset rate for DOT/KSM to enable treasury spends of DOT through Kusama OpenGov

- A team will build a simple app called [kusama.app](https://kusama.app) for newcomers.

- First step (Q2): Design and a working prototype.  
- Second step (Q3): A working DAO governance system.  
- Budget: 8000 KSM.  
- Curators will oversee the project.

KSM RFP #1 - Shielded Kusama Hub Transfers - $50k Total Prize!

Bifrost is a liquid staking app-chain for multiple blockchains, built on the Polkadot SDK. It allows users to earn staking rewards and DeFi yields with flexibility, liquidity, and high security. Bifrost is one of the largest Polkadot parachains in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL) with over $77M. It has liquid staking solutions for various networks such as Kusama (vKSM), Astar (vASTR), Ethereum (vETH), Manta (vMANTA), and Moonbeam (vGLMR).

Bifrost has requested a loan of 50,000 KSM from the Kusama treasury to be repaid with interest over 18 months. This loan will be used as base liquidity for the KSM and vKSM pair in Bifrost Stable Swap. Bifrost has previously brought a total income of 8,370.5523 KSM to the Kusama Treasury through similar proposals.

Bifrost offers unique use cases for liquid staking, such as LST Governance Capacity Inheritance (GCI), Leveraged Staking (LoopStake), and Chain Abstraction for KSM liquid staking. Bifrost's long-term goal is to facilitate capital flow of KSM staking, empower KSM staking across Kusama and Polkadot, and enhance the consensus security of the Kusama network.

Bifrost plans to expand vKSM applications on Polkadot once the KSM < > DOT bridge is live. This will include using Interlay Value, Hydradex omnipool, and DCA strategies, similar to the successful approach implemented with vDOT. Bifrost also plans to abstract away KSM liquid staking to the multichain, supporting minting across various networks via Bifrost SLPx.

The borrowing and repayment process will be fully open and transparent on Kusama and Bifrost governance. Bifrost will apply to borrow 50,000 KSM from the Kusama treasury and generate a treasury derived address on Bifrost. The funds will be used to mint vKSM and add liquidity to Bifrost Stable Swap. For repayment, Bifrost will remove liquidity from DEXs, convert vKSM back to KSM, and initiate a proposal on Kusama to repay the borrowed amount with staking rewards.

- This referendum tests using a scheduler for managing bounties on the Treasurer track.
- Bounties need approval, funding, curator assignment, and closing, with specific delays between steps.
- Funds will be disbursed to a specific account used for validator payouts and cleanup scripts.
- The referendum uses a batch of three actions: approving a bounty, scheduling curator assignment, and scheduling bounty closure.
- The curator assignment is delayed by 86,400 blocks to match the funding period.
- The bounty closure is scheduled 14 days after approval, allowing time for claims.
- Adjustments to timing can reduce delays, but careful planning is needed.

WHO: Will, Paradox

WHAT: Test use of the scheduler on the Treasurer track by scheduling actions through the lifecycle of a bounty

To close erroneous and spam bounties

- **What is Bifrost?**  
  Bifrost is a blockchain project that helps people use their staked KSM (Kusama) tokens in other ways, like trading or lending, without losing their staking rewards.

- **What is vKSM?**  
  vKSM is a special token created by Bifrost that represents staked KSM. It allows people to use their staked KSM in different apps while still earning rewards.

- **What is the Proposal?**  
  Bifrost is asking the Kusama Treasury for 50,000 KSM to help grow the vKSM market. They will pay it back with interest after one year.

- **Why is this Important?**  
  This helps more people use KSM in different ways, like trading or lending, which makes the Kusama ecosystem stronger and more useful.

- **How Will the Money Be Used?**  
  The 50,000 KSM will be used to create trading pairs (like KSM and vKSM) on different apps, making it easier for people to trade and use their staked KSM.

- **What Happens Next?**  
  Bifrost will follow a plan to borrow the KSM, use it to grow the vKSM market, and then pay it back with interest by July 2024.

- **What Has Bifrost Done Before?**  
  Last year, Bifrost borrowed KSM and successfully grew the vKSM market. They paid it back with interest, and now they want to do it again to keep growing.

- **Why Trust Bifrost?**  
  Bifrost has a good track record, and they have already paid back their last loan with interest. They are working to make the Kusama ecosystem better for everyone.

Bifrost requests 50,000 KSM from Kusama Treasury to provide liquidity for vKSM and KSM pair. The loan will be repaid with interest on July 20, 2023. Bifrost aims to facilitate capital flow of KSM staking and enhance the consensus security of Kusama network. The funds will be managed transparently through Kusama and Bifrost governance. Bifrost has achieved significant growth in the past year and has ongoing developments and collaborations.

- A proposal is asking for $32,640 to monitor public RPC/WSS endpoints and node databases.
