Encointer has a new bugfix release for its runtime

  
[release 1.5.1](https://github.com/encointer/encointer-parachain/releases/tag/1.5.1), runtime spec version 16

-   fix sufficients counting bug:
    
    [PR pallets#345](https://github.com/encointer/pallets/pull/345)
    
-   fix cycle gathering assignment bug:

- The payment is for work done from June to August.  
- It also covers time spent collecting and organizing data.  
- The request was first made but failed, so it was resubmitted.  
- A total of 437.9976 KSM is needed.  
- More details are in a linked document and spreadsheet.  
- The payment includes $300 per month for each collator.  
- The proposal was discussed and shared with the community.

**PLEASE DISREGARD — THIS WILL FAIL.**

**We were under the impression, based on [referendum 62](62), that a batch of spends would work as long as each one was under the track's limit. However, [referendum 151](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/151) on Polkadot failed, so our understanding of spending limits was incomplete. This referendum has been resubmitted in the medium spender track as [referendum 275](275).**

Total KSM requested: 437.9976 KSM

This batch of spends will compensate Bridge Hub collators $300 per month (block weighted) on Kusama from late June through August, plus my time and effort required to collect and process data and compile the reports. Here is an overview of the individuals being compensated:

- Polkadot Punks made a free minting app for Polkadot and Kusama.  
- It helps big NFT collections like Bored Ape and Crypto Punks launch easily.  
- The app has different minting options:  
  - Standard mint (set price).  
  - Free mint (no cost).  
  - Whitelist mint (only approved wallets).  
  - Revealable mint (show NFT details later).  
- It also helps list collections on Kodadot.  
- Cost: 100 KSM (split for each feature).  
- Follow Polkadot Punks on Twitter for updates.

Polkadot Punks has built an open-source mint dapp on Polkadot Asset Hub Example [Mint Dapp](https://polkadot-punks.vercel.app/)

**Why Making Mint Dapp worth For Asset Hubs ?**

It worths because if we want huge collection like Bored Ape and Crypto Punks to be Deployed on Polkadot and then we need some pre-built resources like mint dapps so the creators of these large size collection can mint out their NFTs easily

We wanted to make our Mint Dapp open-source and with different specs for both Asset Hubs of Polkadot and Kusama such as 

1.  Standard mint : Standard mint with Set Mint Price, Customizable Dapp with different mint settings Exampe [Polkadot Punks Mint Dapp](https://polkadot-punks.vercel.app/)
2.  Free mint : For Free mint Collections
3.  Whitelist mint : For Whitelist only or with two phase mint first Whitelist then Public whitelist means selecting wallet address which will be only allowed to mint
4.  Revealable mint : Reveal NFT Metadata After the mint or after Set time

Mint dapp can allow collection creation within the smart contract and Kodadot collection listing

We'll make these Mint dapp within 7 days after submitting our referenda

Total Cost  : 100ksm 100/4 = 25ksm for each of these specs and each of them will have different repositories

Polkadot Punks [twitter](https://twitter.com/polkadot_punks?t=49t_olGnoj02Uk6U1mQyDA&s=09)

Polkadot Punks proposes to build an open-source mint dapp on Polkadot Asset Hub for different specs, including standard, free, whitelist, and revealable mint. The total cost is 100ksm, and each spec will cost 25ksm. The project will be completed within 7 days after submitting the referenda.

- A group is asking for 332.9 KSM (about $6,061) from the Kusama community.
- They provided a service called Polkashots.io, which helped validators and node operators since early 2021.
- The service was important for keeping the network reliable.
- A new technology called Warp Sync made their service unnecessary, so they stopped it in April 2023.
- They had a previous request for funds, but it didn’t cover all their costs.
- They are now asking for more money to cover the remaining costs.
- More details can be found in their full proposal document.

Dear Kusama Community,
This is a follow-up of the failed <a href="https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/75">Polkadot referendum 75</a>. We are requesting 332.9 KSM (6,061 USD at today's prices) in order to be compensated for the delivery of a critical infrastructure service to DOT and KSM ecosystems earlier this year.
<a href="https://polkashots.io/">Polkashots.io</a> was the first snapshot service for validators and node operators available since Early 2021. During its time, it provided a valuable service to validators and Parity engineers alike, that ensured reliability of our network.
<a href="https://spec.polkadot.network/chap-networking#sect-msg-warp-sync">Warp Sync</a> made snapshot services redundant, therefore we stopped our service in April 2023. It stands ready to be activated again <a href="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7661">shall the need arise</a>.
Our <a href="238">previous Kusama treasury proposal</a> was accepted, however it did not entirely cover our costs, hence we are submitting this final one.&nbsp; For more information, please refer to the <a href="https://hackmd.io/@nicolasochem/B19RK5lmh">full proposal doc</a>.

Further Chaos labs is developing a mint dapp which will be open-source on Asset hub

supporting

1.  Whitelist mint **cost: 100ksm** : whitelist mint will allow selecting specific wallet for the mint to overcome mint botting risks  and community guaranteed mint
2.  Free mint **cost: 100ksm** : Free mint is the one the most popular thing currently in NFT so we wanted to add this into the asset hub so there will be variations and each nft minter will only have to pay the mint fee for set metadata which is on-chain and no any extra fees
3.  Revealable mint **cost: 100ksm** :  Reveablable NFT mints are Trending in the nft space where nfts first gets minted then once the mint is done or after a set time the nft will be revealed by setting it's metadata

**Hub wallet ( Wallet for Assets and NFTs on Asset Hub ) Budget: 811ksm**

-   **NFTs cost: 400ksm** : On nft pallet we'll add all the feature like selling your nft by using your wallet only using list item on nft pallet buring buying offers swapping nfts and many more
-   **Assets cost: 400ksm** : On Asset pallet Hub wallet will support all Functionality like buring sending receving gifting and many more
-   **Quick Teleport on each Transaction cost: 11ksm** : Using this way we'll be able to teleport our dot , ksm to asset hub quickly on each transaction and won't have to put our whole balance on asset hub

Currently 1111ksm is equal to $19924.09

Estimated time 

6 month

cost per hour = $10

1 hour a day × 182.5 days = 2190 hours = $21900 but approximately we need $19924.09

- Imbue Network got funding and completed most of their goals.
- They noticed issues with how money is spent and created a system called Imbue Grants to fix it.
- They showed how it works on a test network called Rococo.
- Next, they want to show it on Kusama by giving a grant and then refunding most of the money back.
- They have 5 people who will approve the grant.
- They think the treasury should support XCM transfers for better flexibility.
- They will move money to a special account to make the demo work.
- They want feedback from the community to improve their system.

Hey Everyone,
UPDATE:&nbsp; We decided to go down the big tipper track to keep things simple. See <a href="../post/2600#jhMYwkbfxhpPu7PHt7sD">comment</a>
Sam Elamin from Imbue. We have been very busy since receiving funding from the treasury and have shipped almost all our milestones One thing we did notice over the past few months has been the tension around treasury spending. We think Imbue is set up perfectly to solve issues around accountability and funding and have built out the Imbue <a href="https://www.imbue.network/blogs/imbue-grants">grants</a>&nbsp;
We also did a live demo of it on <a href="https://twitter.com/thekusamarian/status/1693704945717870736?s=46&amp;t=zgh35N80b7sSgM--juphNw">AAG</a> with our chain on Rococo
What we want to do next is do a demo of what this process looks like on Kusama.&nbsp;
The goal of the demo is to showcase refunds going back into the treasury&nbsp;
We will be launching a grant for 10 KSM with 2 milestones
1) Milestone 1 for 1 KSM (10%). This will get approved 2) Milestone 2 for 9 KSM (90%). This will get refunded back to the treasury
We have 5 approvers lined up
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>Giles, an engineer @ parity and part of the fellowship</li>
<li>Daniel from Parity and part of the SBP</li>
<li>
Bryan: Polkadot fellow and co-founder of Acala
</li>
<li>
Sam: Polkadot fellow and co-founder of Imbue Network
</li>
<li>
Beatrice: Imbue core team member
</li>
</ol>
A demo like this should ideally be going through the small/big tipper track but that is not currently possible because the treasury &mdash; currently - does not support XCM transfers,
We believe the treasury should support xcm transfers going through the different treasury tracks, this demo will be further evidence of that need
Because of this we will have to transfer the funds to the parachain soverign account then do a proposal on Imbue to allocate the funds to the grant escrow addres
We strongly believe this is the best way to ensure accountability and transparency while still remaining flexible enough to support different curators for different grants/projects
Kusama was meant for expermintation and to drive innovation, and this is a perfect example of this.
Imbue grants was built to solve a key community need, as such we would love your feedback on both this proposed demo as well as how we can best serve the community's requirements

Imbue wants to showcase their grants process on Kusama by launching a grant for 10 KSM with 2 milestones. The goal is to showcase refunds going back into the treasury. Milestone 1 for 1 KSM will get approved, while Milestone 2 for 9 KSM will get refunded back to the treasury. The demo will be evidence of the need for the treasury to support XCM transfers. Imbue believes their grants process is the best way to ensure accountability and transparency while remaining flexible enough to support different curators for different grants/projects.

A small tip for the last two years of contribution

- Kusama parachains stopped working because of a block dispute.  
- The chain froze to stop new parachain blocks.  
- A fix called "force_unfreeze" is needed to restart block inclusion.  
- There are links to check the voting details.  
- People are voting to approve the fix.  
- The problem happened because a finalized block couldn't be changed.  
- The chain is currently rejecting new parachain candidates.  
- Voting is happening in both Fellowship and public groups.

This morning CEST Kusama parachains stopped including blocks. The cause was a dispute in a finalized block that stopped the inclusion of new blocks from parachains.

After the chain issued a revert, it "freezes" the current chain to not include any new parachain candidates. As the block was already finalized, we could not revert to and continued producing on this chain. So, the chain currently is rejecting any new parachain candidates. force\_unfreeze reverts the freeze. This proposal aims to fix this, for chains to continue with block inclusion.

Fixing Inclusion Issues On Parachains Side

- OpenBrush is a tool for WASM smart contracts.  
- It helps developers build apps on Polkadot and Kusama.  
- 19 teams and 3 parachains use OpenBrush.  
- They delivered work from an earlier proposal.  
- They found some issues and fixed them.  
- They skipped one planned task.  
- They are asking for more funds to keep working.  
- The new amount is $60,720.

Hey Polkadot & Kusama community!

We are happy to deliver our work on the [proposal](138) approved on the 23rd of March 2023 and are requesting a second allocation of funds for the development of 8-9, 11 milestones of OpenBrush.

## Context of delivery 

The purpose of this proposal is to grow the emerging WASM smart contracts field by developing the core infrastructure product OpenBrush. As Gavin mentioned in this CoinDesk article, WebAssembly is the future of smart contracts. Also, as mentioned in the approved WASM smart contracts bounty, smart contracts parachains lead the ecosystem in terms of market adoption. However, despite WASM tech having a lot to offer, it's not being widely used now simply because of the lack of proper tooling and ecosystem infrastructure products.

OpenBrush is a core infrastructure product, a starting point, and a base for every ink! dApp. Nineteen production-grade teams and three parachains currently use OpenBrush. This proposal is the delivery of the previously approved development of the successful product, proposing the most developer-needed features validated by market feedback.

Please note that we did additional research and have made the decision not to proceed with the planned and approved 12th milestone and are not requesting funding for it. However, we were forced to do some additional scope of work in order to fix unexpected issues after the Rust nightly toolchain's latest release. More details can be found in the delivery report.

## Delivery

You can find our delivery report here:

The amount was calculated as follows: The remaining amount without the last milestone is $235200/2 - $67200 = $50400. Including the costs of out-of-scope work, the amount is $50400 + $10320 = $60720. 60720/19.489=3115.60367387

WHO: The team behind OpenBrush
WHAT: Requesting a second allocation of funds for the development of 8-9, 11 milestones of OpenBrush, a core infrastructure product for WASM smart contracts.
PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: $60720, as calculated in the proposal, for the remaining development work. No specific timeframe or resources mentioned.

Dear DotSama community, GM/GN!

I am DrCAO, the Community Manager of the Polkadot parachain project, Parallel Finance. I also lead a Chinese community in Wagmedia, a member of the WagMedia committee, the director of the Centrifuge Chinese community, and an Ambassador for several Polkadot parachain projects such as Astar Network and Bifrost. Additionally, I'm a member of Chaos DAO. As the founder of the AIWeb3 community, I wish to share updates from the past six months and seek the renewal of the AIWeb3 community.

The mission of the AIWeb3 Chinese community is to nurture the community, enabling Chinese content creators to focus on content creation in DotSama. We aim to bridge different parachain projects and ensure the community receives the latest information about DotSama. This environment allows Chinese content creators to concentrate on research, producing high-quality content, which includes dubbing, translations, and original pieces centered around DotSama. Moreover, we are allocating more resources to support budding content creators, helping them to cultivate their audience and brand.

The AIWeb3 Chinese community caters to individuals passionate about the dotsama, Web3, and its long-term prospects. This includes content creators in Dotsama and its enthusiasts. The community believes in Web3 technology for the future, being open and honest, and always keep learning.

In the last half-year, backed by the Kusama treasury, because of the excellent content creators and community support, AIWeb3 surpassed our own expectations, executing all planned tasks and even extending beyond our initial mandate. We produced over 600 original pieces, completed 28 translations with 35 proofreadings, and created 4 top-tier dubbings. We welcomed 19 content creators into our fold, with 13 making at least one contribution. Their expertise spans from DeFi to NFTs, art design, and event organization.

We've fostered relationships with over 20 parachain teams, pitching 16 collaborative initiatives to garner additional support. We've forged partnerships with Neurolauncher, the community-driven NFT marketplace Bluez within the Astar ecosystem, and the decentralized platform, Frentube ([https://twitter.com/fren\_tube).](https://twitter.com/fren_tube\).) Our endeavors also encompass both in-person and online events.

As of August 1st, our official Twitter ([https://twitter.com/aiweb3dao](https://twitter.com/aiweb3dao) has 1993 followers. Our Discord server ([https://discord.gg/pQtZG8UQfk](https://discord.gg/pQtZG8UQfk) has 535 members, our Telegram group ([https://t.me/aiweb3dao](https://t.me/aiweb3dao) has 328 members, and our decentralized Polkaverse space ([https://polkaverse.com/10900](https://polkaverse.com/10900) has 173 posts. Our presence extends to a WeChat Official Account and a video channel, "爱Web3", each video averaging over 1k views. We've also developed a Discord bot enriched with AI capabilities, and an intriguing role-upgrade game centered on a book about Polkadot, still in progress. In conclusion, the treasury's support over the past six months enabled us to offer Web3 education, nurture content creators, consolidate the community, devise a Discord bot now utilized by other parachain teams, establish pivotal partnerships in DotSama, revitalize Chinese communities, and achieve much more!

AIWeb3 Chinese Unit proposal II (爱Web3 中文社区提案 II)

[Whitelisted Caller] Referendum #260

- A follow-up request for funds from Polkadot Safari 2023 is being made.  
- The first request had a mistake due to currency changes and KSM value drop.  
- The total needed was $289,313, but now only $24,400 is left to pay organizers.  
- Some contributors changed, and the Kenyan currency helped lower costs.  
- The delay happened because signatories needed to approve the request.  
- All conference expenses were paid before paying the organizers.  
- A report with details is linked for more information.  
- Thanks to the community for understanding.

Hello community,

This is a follow up request for the second allocation of funds from Polkadot Safari 2023 which took place in March and April. 

**Excuse the delay for updating this description, I was waiting for my signatories to approve my request for KSM for the decision deposit.**

Our previous request was erroneous (my mistake and I take full accountability). 

TL DR

When we converted the Kusama received, it was worth $234.127.97, at the time of receipt of the funds, KSM had dropped. Our original total ask between the first and second allocation was $289,313. Due to the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling to the dollar in February, March and April, the funds went a much longer way in covering the costs for the conference. Additionally, a few contributors worked a few hours and we substituted them with new contributors from February. Both of these factors rendered our new difference to decrease from $55,186 to $24,400.

I did not factor that in when I was submitting the referenda two weeks ago.

Please find our report and request for funds [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cNkVSpiFSz1dbwlHUm_dg_F6rie0CpGE7TFXv5AQ1TI/edit). The $24,400 is what's left to pay off the organizer's. We had specifically ensured that we paid off all of the conference expenses before fully paying off ourselves.

Thank you for understanding, and may the sky be your basement.
