### Polkawatch Proposal Summary

- Polkawatch recently launched decentralization analytics on Kusama and added Nomination Pools support.
- The community is increasingly aware of the importance of decentralization, sparked by a recent deplatforming event of Solana nodes.
- Other teams, including wallets, parachains, and data scientists, are interested in accessing Polkawatch data to raise awareness in the ecosystem.
- Parachains, while secured by the relay chain, are still vulnerable to censorship from dishonest collators, network operators, or regulatory changes.
- This proposal aims to extend Polkawatch support to parachains, continue service operations, and make minor improvements.
- The proposal has been discussed and feedback has been incorporated.
- A detailed version of the proposal is available [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ljvYDuazbNBgjf94yFUbUEdeyBN5ixG6BXAEKxuxmL4/edit?usp=sharing).
- An extraordinary fee for re-submission costs has been included.

### Ordum: Public Good Grants Aggregator

- **Purpose**: Ordum aims to create a public good grants aggregator for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, focusing on R&D funding.
- **Current Issue**: Existing grant management tools like Gitcoin are insufficient for the needs of web3 ecosystems, leading to scattered information and difficulties in tracking funding.
- **Problem**: Treasuries and foundations have excess funds due to a lack of projects, and grant information is hard to find and manage.
- **Solution**: Ordum proposes a decentralized application (dapp) to index and manage grants, including features like custom APIs, light clients, and integration with Github.
- **Milestone Certificates**: Non-transferable NFTs will be minted to certify completed milestones, enhancing transparency and accountability.
- **Transparency**: Grant applications, funding, and milestones will be displayed on team profiles for public viewing.
- **User Experience**: Surveys and feedback will be used to optimize the UX for managing treasury grants.
- **Funding Request**: Ordum seeks $78,804 for development, with a Kusama rate of 25.24 as of November 24, 2022.

Ordum proposes to build a public goods grant aggregator for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems to solve the scattered information and lack of software for managing grants. They plan to create a dapp, mint non-transferable NFTs, display milestones and funding on a team's profile, and issue surveys for optimal grant management. They request funding of 78,804 USD and aim to deliver a V1 POC of the aggregator.

 Treasury Proposal: Ordum | Public Good Grants Aggregator for Polkadot and Kusama 

DotShield is a new Web3 bot designed to improve security in Telegram and Discord communities within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. It helps with moderation, verification, and scam prevention. Here are some key points about DotShield:

1. It solves the problem of existing bots that use easy-to-bypass captchas instead of Web3 verification.
2. DotShield allows groups to set their own criteria for membership, like balance thresholds and council membership.
3. It is important because it helps protect Web3 communities from spam, bot invasions, and scams.
4. The creator of DotShield learned to code to make this solution after being frustrated with existing options.
5. DotShield has features like dynamic chain state verification, single sign-in for Web3 users, flexible moderation, scam prevention, and expansion to Discord.
6. The creator is asking for funding to support the deployment and expansion of DotShield.
7. Users have given DotShield good feedback, with suggestions for improvement like more detailed guides and better transparency about data handling.
8. Many users would recommend DotShield to others and support its adoption across the Polkadot ecosystem.

This message is about a proposal to give money to help Public RPC Providers for 7 months. RPC Providers help with a computer system called Kusama. The proposal will cost $107,237.98 in total. The money will be given to the best service providers who follow the rules. If the service is not good, the providers can lose money or not get any. This plan has helped to reduce other funding requests and make providers charge a fair price. More information can be found in a link provided.

Executed

Dear community,
I present this proposal on the authorization of the curators of bounty 25.
This proposal seeks to continue funding of Public RPC Providers for the period of six months plus an additional month's contingency. Funding is issued to bounty 25 which awards vendors for RPC services on the Kusama relay-chain as well as its system parachains. The total cost for such provision is USD$107,237.98, which represents $12,397.21 per month without contingency and administrative fees.
Bounty 25 adopts an tender based procurement model in which service providers bid on requirements as set-out by the curators. The tender requirements are aligned to ecosystem needs and can scale up/down depending on usage. Tenders are scored and the highest scoring providers receive funding. Attention is also being placed on quality of service and should service providers fail to meet said quality-standards they will be penalized or lose funding altogether.
This approach has seen a reduction with independent funding proposals for such services and steering of providers to a "market rate".
Further details can be found <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WV7n5HVKtO5s0ub6g4uEQAN4Y7SRNcu56QYFXPgN15I/edit?tab=t.0">here</a>

Funding for Public RPC Providers via Bounty 25

Bloque is a company that helps other businesses add prepaid debit card services to their platforms. They use a special type of computer system called Kusama's blockchain to keep track of the money safely. Bloque wants to help people in Latin America who don't have bank accounts, which is about 25% of the people there. They make it easy for businesses to give their customers debit cards that can be used with special money called stablecoins. These cards can be used on phones or as plastic cards, and people can even take out cash from them anywhere in the world.

Bloque works with other companies like Pomelo and Visa to make debit cards, and they have a partnership with a big bank in Colombia called Bancolombia. They also work with a company called Truora to make sure people are who they say they are when they sign up for a card.

Bloque's first customer is a company called Coco Wallet, which is helping people in Colombia who don't have bank accounts. They plan to get more than 3,000 new customers in the next few months by using Bloque's services on Kusama's system. This will help more people use a special type of money called KSM, and it will also make the Kusama system more active because every time someone uses their card, it creates a small transaction on the system.

Bloque has a lot of questions and answers on their website if you want to learn more about how they work and why they are doing this. They are a team with experience in making things work on the internet and they want to use Kusama to help people use this special type of money in their everyday lives.

<h2>Summary</h2>
Bloque offers an open API infrastructure that allows developers to easily integrate prepaid debit card functionality into their platforms, with balances securely stored on Kusama&rsquo;s blockchain. Targeting financial exclusion in Latin America&mdash;where 25% of the population is unbanked&mdash;Bloque eliminates the costly barriers, regulatory challenges, and technical difficulties typically associated with issuing debit cards. Unlike standalone wallets, Bloque serves as infrastructure for businesses, enabling them to provide branded, non-custodial debit cards that users can load with stablecoins, use via mobile wallets or physical cards, and even withdraw cash worldwide. This approach not only promotes financial inclusion but also increases Kusama&rsquo;s blockchain activity, as each transaction generates on-chain fees in KSM.

we introduced CocoWallet, building on the success of <a href="https://www.cocomercado.com/landing/">CocoMercado</a>, a remittance-based food service that&rsquo;s supported Venezuela&rsquo;s elderly through 7,000,000 expats. Now, CocoWallet is tackling financial exclusion in Colombia by launching debit cards with Bloque for the unbanked&mdash;and we&rsquo;re bringing this to Kusama.
Our goal is to onboard 3,000+ unbanked Colombians in the next few months. Here&rsquo;s how we&rsquo;ll do it on Kusama:
<ul>
<li>Decentralized Design: Funds will be held in non-custodial wallets on Kusama&rsquo;s Asset-Hub, with all debit card transactions pay fees in KSM. No banks, no centralized control&mdash;just user-owned value.</li>
<li>Kusama Benefits: These 3,000 new users will become KSM holders, boosting adoption. Each card swipe will generate on-chain micro-transactions, increasing network activity and rewarding validators.</li>
<li>Scalability: After this pilot, we&rsquo;ll scale to 10,000 users across Latin America by 2025, funded by transaction fees but no endless treasury asks. Banks are obsolete. We want to drive a transformation that enables every organization to provide financial services&mdash;starting with a debit card. We aim to free finances for people, and to do this, we need your support. </li>
</ul>
<h1>FAQ</h1>
<ul>
<li>
Why funding us? We are an experienced team with a proven record of building Web3 products. Now, we want to use Kusama in everyday cases worldwide.
</li>
<li>
Which regions are supported? Mainly LatAm starting in Colombia &amp; Mexico with worldwide availability via Passport.
</li>
<li>
How will this API handle key material since the wallets are non-custodial? We use a combination of proxy accounts with defined spending limits. In addition, the &ldquo;debit callback&rdquo; endpoint with 3D Secure prompts users to authorize (i.e., sign) transactions&mdash;effectively meaning the user &ldquo;sells&rdquo; crypto to us so that we can complete the payment on their behalf. Our security model is based on Shamir&rsquo;s Secret Sharing: at setup, the holder sends us one part of the secret while keeping the other part secure across multiple devices. When a transaction is authorized, the two parts are combined to complete the transaction.
</li>
<li>
How are redemptions processed? Today&rsquo;s redemption channels include Brale Rails (conversion across 10+ chains to USDT/USDC), a DEX liquidity pool for KSM/dUSD, and direct debit card transactions.
</li>
<li>
Do day-to-day COP inflation swings pose a risk? Yes, they can. To mitigate this risk, we maintain only small COP buffers in the bank while holding most of our treasury in USD.
</li>
<li>
How will the system mitigate potential volatility given that settlement can take several days? Limiting USD buffer sales to twice daily (e.g., morning and afternoon) may expose us to unexpected volatility. Ideally, we offload USD as frequently as market conditions allow. When that isn&rsquo;t feasible, we rely on compensation accounts, short-term COP buffer loans, SWIFT transfers, and OTC channels to quickly convert USD into COP liquidity.
</li>
<li>
How would a chargeback or clawback be handled? For same-day chargebacks&mdash;such as paying $5 with KSM for an Uber ride and then canceling&mdash;the system applies an adjustment credit by deducting $5 from the USD buffer, converting it to KSM, and crediting your account. For delayed clawbacks&mdash;like purchasing a $20 card with KSM on Temu but receiving a faulty product&mdash;we detect the issue via Visa&rsquo;s invoices and balance sheets. In the next payment cycle, we net the amounts between our accounts; for instance, if we owe Visa $100 but receive $20, we pay only $80, converting the extra $20 into KSM and crediting your account.
</li>
<li>
Whats the relationship with Virto? BloqueDAO is a Virto-spinoff established as a self-governing DAO in Kreivo. We&rsquo;re leveraging on the Kreivo technology to support non-custodial management of the funds every user tops-up in their Kusama Pay cards.
</li>

Open debit card for developers powered by Kusama

- **Requested Amount:** 33,333 KSM  
- **Goal:** Help Kusama and Polkadot work better together by adding KSM to a special pool called Hydration Omnipool.  
- **How it works:** The KSM will be added to the pool to make trading easier between Kusama and Polkadot.  
- **Control:** The KSM will stay under the control of Kusama and OpenGov.  
- **No middleman:** This makes it simple to move value between the two chains without needing a central exchange.  
- **Similar to DOT:** It’s like how 1,000,000 DOT were added to the pool earlier.  
- **Result:** This will create a very liquid and easy way to trade KSM on Polkadot.

Kusama Hydration: Treasury LP

A new proposal is asking for more money to help the people called "collators" on Kusama's System Parachains. Collators are important because they help keep the network safe, fair, and fast. They need more money to keep doing their job well as the network grows bigger. This proposal wants to give them 4,116.24 KSM. You can read more about it in the full proposal link. In the past, there have been other proposals to help collators too.

Proposal: Additional Funding for Kusama System Parachain Collators
Bounty #20 KSM address: F3opxRbN5ZbjJNU513biNemEwi2QDYNACcNqzU68jHWZos2
Requested allocation: 4,116.24 KSM
This proposal seeks additional funding to support the operational status and provide a bounty top-up budget for collators on Kusama's System Parachains. Collators are essential for maintaining network security, decentralization, and performance. While previous referenda have successfully provided the necessary resources for their effective operation, additional funds are required to sustain these efforts and adapt to the expanding network demands.
This proposal will focus on the operational status and the bounty top-up budget, while more detailed information can be found under the bounty page and in earlier proposals, as listed below.

Kusama System Parachains Collator Bounty #20 Top-Up Proposal - Jan/2025

This proposal is about getting money to organize 5 big meetings called Family Office summits. These meetings will help bring more money to two projects, Polkadot and Kusama. The plan is to make more people interested in Kusama, which is a place for artists, hackers, and innovators to work on new projects. If the proposal is successful, HIC Fund II will change its focus to include Kusama projects too. They will also create a Krievo DAO to help find and support new projects and use a stablecoin called dUSD for investments. The meetings will happen in different cities around the world between April and December 2025.

Prestel & Partners: Family Office Investor Conference Series for Polkadot & Kusama.

Subscan is a tool that helps people explore and understand the Polkadot and Kusama networks. It gives important information to developers, people who check the network is working well, and users of the network. They asked for money from Kusama to keep improving and making their service better.

In the past, they got money from Kusama to pay for things like computers and internet connections. Now, they have a new way to decide how much money they need. They will charge based on how much storage space they use, which helps them know how much it costs to run their service.

Subscan has a place where people can give ideas and talk about problems, which helps them make their service better. They have also made their service better by making it faster and easier to use.

They want money to keep their service running for the next year. They have planned how much it will cost and have a chart to show it. They also made some money from ads, which they will use to reduce the amount they need to ask for.

Subscan wants to keep getting better and not rely too much on asking for money. They will try to make their service better and find other ways to make money, like working with other companies or offering special features for a fee.

In the end, they asked for a certain amount of money, which they calculated using the price of Kusama's tokens. They thanked everyone for their support and feedback, and said that with their help, they can keep making their service better.

Subscan Q2/Q3/Q4 2024 Funding Proposal: Basic service fee for the Kusama Relaychain and Kusama public parachain (AssetHub, Coretime, BridgeHub, People)

The KSM Collective on krievo has proposed using treasury funds to create an initial liquidity pool for KSM and dUSD on AssetHub. The goal is to boost dUSD adoption, strengthen Kusama's DeFi ecosystem, and generate fees for the KSM Collective. They are requesting $300,000 plus a 10% volatility buffer, with any excess being returned. Brale has committed an initial $300,000 in dUSD to match the requested KSM allocation. The beneficiary is the KSM Society organization on krievo, and the LP fees will be retained by KSM Collective and Brale. The first usage will be the exchange of Brale's $125k fee from KSM to dUSD, with the beneficiary being the Decent Partners collective.

This is about a new idea for a discussion forum to help with OpenGov debates. The problem is that current platforms like forums, Telegram, Discord, and social media don't work well for these debates. They have issues like no clear way to organize debates, hard to follow complex arguments, and not enough control over what people say.

The solution is a new forum with special features to make debates better. These features include:
1. Organizing debates in a clear way
2. Helping people find and follow debates
3. Tools to understand and evaluate arguments
4. Sections for asking questions and finding solutions together
5. Tools to suggest and check compromises
6. Layouts to review and analyze outcomes
7. A dashboard to see how strong arguments are and what the community cares about
8. A way to see how debates change over time
9. Chat options to talk about arguments in real-time

This new platform will make debates easier, stop false information, and help people work together by including different opinions and having clear tools to analyze debates. There are also videos that show more about this idea.

WHO: Unspecified group proposing a new discussion forum. 

WHAT: Proposing a new discussion forum with structured debates, enhanced navigation, in-depth analysis, Q&A and compromise, proposal review, analytics dashboard, timeline slider, and chat functionality. 

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Not specified.
