Revitalizing Kusama: The DAO Hub

We have a special project to support an artist and honor Gavin Wood. Here's what we want to do:

1. Ask an artist to paint a big picture of Gavin Wood. The artist likes Gavin and has painted famous people before.
2. Make a special digital copy, called an NFT, of the painting for all Kappa Sigma Mu members.
3. Give the real painting to Gavin Wood to say thank you.
4. Share the painting on social media.

This project will help bring people together and show how art and technology can work together. It will cost 506 KSM, which includes paying the artist, sending the painting, and other small costs. We hope you like this idea and support it.

I am writing to propose a unique and meaningful project that not only supports an emerging artist but also honors one of our key figures, Gavin Wood. This initiative aligns with our commitment to fostering creativity and innovation within our community. Project Overview Commissioning a Portrait of Gavin Wood.
We have identified a talented artist who recently exhibited in <a href="https://canal-gallery.com/producto/axe-colours-walter-white" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> , renowned for creating exceptional portraits of notable figures. The artist also worked for Football Club Barcelona. After an initial discussion with him, he expressed his admiration for Gavin Wood. This enthusiasm for Gavin and his work makes the artist an ideal candidate for this project. The Proposal:
<ol>
<li>Commission a Real Painting: o We will commission the artist to create an original painting of Gavin Wood. Canvas will be 130x195cm. This piece will capture Gavin's essence and serve as a lasting tribute to his contributions to our community and the broader technological landscape.</li>
<li>Creating an NFT: o In addition to the physical painting, we propose creating a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) of the artwork. This NFT will be distributed to all Kappa Sigma Mu members, symbolizing our collective appreciation and serving as a digital memento. We will make an snapshot and distribute the NFTs when the work is finished.</li>
<li>Presentation to Gavin Wood: o The completed painting will be presented to Gavin Wood as a token of our appreciation. It Will be sent and packed well</li>
<li>Marketing: o We have contacted Gavin Wood&rsquo;s office, and he is willing to accept this gift and will share it on X (formerly Twitter). o We also coordinated with the artist to share the work on his Instagram profile (45K followers)</li>
</ol>
Community Engagement: In Kusama, there is a society that rewards individuals for getting a Kusama-themed tattoo. Our goal is to support and expand this society, positioning it as the primary gateway for highly engaged and committed individuals within the Kusama ecosystem. By employing non-traditional and innovative approaches, we aim to foster a vibrant and dedicated community that not only attracts new users but also strengthens their connection to Kusama. By commissioning a painting of Gavin Wood and creating an NFT, we blend traditional art with modern technology, showcasing the positive impact of blockchain. This initiative supports a quite famous artist and unites our members, encouraging more participation and cultivating a sense of community. Next Steps
1. Approval of the Proposal
Upon approval, we will formalize the commission agreement with the artist, outlining the project scope, timeline, and deliverables.
2. Project Execution:
The artist will begin work on the painting, with regular updates provided to ensure alignment with our vision. o Concurrently, we will work on the creation and distribution plan for the NFT.
3. Presentation and Distribution:
Once completed, we will deliever the package to Gavin.
The NFT will be distributed to all members.
Conclusion This proposal represents an opportunity to blend art, technology, and community spirit in a way that honors the founder of Polkadot and Kusama. I am confident that this initiative will not only delight Gavin Wood but also reinforce the values we hold dear within Kappa Sigma Mu.
To sum up:
a-The artist will make a 130x195 cm portrait of Gavin Wood and we will deliever it to Gavin/Parity.
b-We will make an NFT of the portrait to distribute it to the Kappa Sigma Mu members.
c-Paint will be shared on the artist instagram and Gavin Wood&rsquo;s X
d-The total cost of the project is 506 KSM
&bull; Artist's Fee: $8000
&bull; Transportation and Handling: Additional expenses for securely transporting the painting to the desired location: 400 $ &bull;
Miscellaneous Costs: Potential costs for framing, insurance, and other unforeseen expenses: 800 $
Total: 9200$ 9200/18,15 (EMA7 KSM price)= 506 KSM
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to your support and feedback

Kappa Sigma Mu proposes commissioning a 130x195cm portrait of Gavin Wood by a renowned artist for $8,000. An NFT of the painting will be created and distributed to members. The total cost is estimated at $9,200 or 506 KSM. The completed painting will be presented to Gavin Wood, and the artist will share it on Instagram. The proposal aims to blend traditional art with modern technology, showcasing the positive impact of blockchain and fostering a vibrant and dedicated community.

Proposal for Honoring Gavin Wood through Art and Innovation

KSM.FUN is a parachain on the Kusama network that aims to provide a space for chaos, experiments, and fun. It offers several features, including:

1. UMP/DMP XCM transfer for parachain runtime to support KSM transfers.
2. Kusama (KSM) as the native currency forever.
3. OpenGov for KSM holders, similar to Kusama's open governance but faster.
4. A native decentralized exchange (DEX) with 0% trade fees.
5. Integration of Assets pallet to prevent rug pulls, allowing token creation only via launchpad extrinsic.
6. A simple user flow to create a new token, create a pool with KSM, deploy liquidity, and buy tokens in one extrinsic.

KSM.FUN won the last parachain slot auction in Kusama history and has since changed its name from Memecoinchain to KSM.FUN to attract more users and activity. The team behind KSM.FUN consists of three developers, two Rust blockchain substrate developers, and one Front-end Web3 developer. They have been actively developing bridges and DeFi for the Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem for the past four years.

The source code for KSM.FUN's parachain is available on GitHub, and a video演示 the functionality of creating new tokens and starting trading immediately can be found on YouTube. The creator welcomes feedback and opinions from the Kusama community.

I am <a href="https://rust.dev/">rust.dev</a> and I am super bullish on Kusama.
I believe that our Wild Bird Kusama is the perfect place for chaos, experiments and now fun.
As current market narrative of meme season and one click tokens deployer as pump fun(<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/pump-fun-daily-revenue-outpaces-the-next-24-protocols-combined">Pump.fun daily revenue outpaces the next 24 protocols combined</a>) or sunpump meme(<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/memecoin-deployer-sunpump-1m-revenue-days-after-launch">1M$ in revenue in 11 days</a>) showed that this kind of product on top of tron and solana L1 solution has got those ecosystems up from the knees.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<a href="http://ksm.fun/">KSM.FUN</a> is a parachain:
&mdash; UMP/DMP XCM trasnfer configured for parachain runttime to support transfer of KSM from relayer chain and back.
&mdash; Kusama (KSM) is native currency FOREVER.&nbsp;
&mdash; OpenGov for KSM holders. Similar to kusama open gov but just faster track to make desision faster.
&mdash; Native dex.
&mdash; 0% fee on trade compared to 1% each trade fees on pump.fun (this improvement will allow to bring a lot of volume and users to Kusama)
&mdash; Integration of Assets pallet. Config prevents RUGS so it is ONLY possible to create a token via launchpad extrinsic.
&mdash; Simple user flow to execute only 1 Launchpad extrinsic that:
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &mdash; creates a new (meme) token. For example GLITCH .
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &mdash; creates a pool of new tokens with KSM. LP KSM-GLITCH deploy liquidity.
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &mdash; buys the desired amount of tokens from the pool in the same extrinsic. (optional)
I won the last <a href="https://parachains.info/auctions/kusama">parachain slot</a> in Kusama history. It was called Memecoinchain. But since then it has changed its name to KSM.FUN that I believe is more vibrant to attract more users and activity into the Kusama ecosystem. So in the next few weeks KSM fun will be deployed as parachain.
All logic and functionality is tested with a zombienet and contains the polkadot version to support 6 sec block time. We are team of 3 devs, 2 blockchain substrate rust devs and 1 Front-end Web3 Dev.
I am actively developing bridges and DeFi for the polkadot/kusama ecosystem during the last 4 years.
This is my first treasury proposal on Kusama.

Thank you for your time and support.
I am glad to hear any feedback and opinion from you Kusama bulls.

Rust.dev proposes to deploy KSM.FUN as a parachain on Kusama, with a native currency, open gov for KSM holders, a native DEX, and 0% trade fees. The proposal includes the integration of Assets pallet and a simple user flow to create and trade new tokens. The project has been tested and the team includes 3 developers. The proposal is the first treasury proposal on Kusama and the timeframe and resources required are not specified.

Retroactive funding for development of KSM.FUN. Pre-launch phase on Kusama as parachain.

### Summary of Update 3.9.24

- **Objective**: Develop a new liquidity pool for asset hubs to help early-stage teams bootstrap funding efficiently.
- **Cost Estimate**: $20-40k depending on complexity.
- **Polkadot 1.0**: Focused on parachain onboarding via crowd loans and auctions, with external financing.
- **Polkadot 2.0**: Replaced crowd loans with coretime sales, removing speculative incentives.
- **Asset Conversion Pallet (ACP)**: Simplifies asset swaps but has inefficiencies for new tokens.
- **Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBP)**: A more efficient method for price discovery and token distribution.
- **Proposed Change**: Introduce a bespoke LBP design to Kusama Asset Hub for smoother project launches.
- **Treasury Participation**: Use on-chain governance to support meaningful project adoption.
- **Research Lead**: Daniel from the Virto/Krievo team will lead the research and implementation.

wish_for_change

Polkadot proposes to develop a new liquidity pool for asset hub to enable early-stage teams to bootstrap initial funding in a sustainable manner. This would create tighter economic alignment between the treasury, native stablecoin integrations, and next-gen parachain teams. The proposal suggests introducing a bespoke LBP design to Kusama Asset Hub, which would lower barriers to entry for teams wishing to launch on coretime and smooth their path to liquidity in ACP and eventual CEX listings enabled by AH. The estimated cost for this proposal is $20-40k depending on eventual complexity.

WFC: Add a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) pallet to asset hub to enable initial price discovery and funding for next gen parachains.

- The post talks about Kusama and Polkadot, two blockchain networks.  
- It says the cost to register a new project on Kusama is much higher than on Polkadot.  
- Kusama costs **21,645$**, while Polkadot costs **14,390$**.  
- The writer thinks Kusama should cost **720$** based on market value.  
- They believe high costs are pushing developers away from Kusama.  
- The post asks Parity (the team behind Kusama) to lower prices.  
- A YouTube video link is shared, showing concerns about future costs.  
- The writer warns that Kusama may lose more developers if prices stay high.

Do you see any stats? 

[https://kusama.subscan.io/event?page=1&time\_dimension=date&module=registrar](https://kusama.subscan.io/event?page=1&time_dimension=date&module=registrar)

51 days ago deregister chain event.

Last registration event  71 days 22 hrs ago.

Parity, fellowship for whom you are building the network?   
  

For yourself and yours system chains? or for people.  
  
You changed the params to not let abuse via runtime upgrade with a largest wasm size. But in that particular set up kusama and polkadot was 3 years and nothing critical happend.  
  
Parity, are you intentionally is trying to kill kusama?   
Market cap of polkadot to kusama is in ratio 20 : 1. the same treasury dollar cost allocation 

BUT:

Prices to register a new thread to start new project:

  
**Polkadot 3300 DOT -> 14390$**

**Kusama 1110 KSM  -> 21645$ WHAT? 21k$+? _ARE you KIDDING?_**

this numbers above is a price to just a register a wasm code with genesis. so how many developers would be attracted to start their idea on kusama and try something?

  
Parity, Fellowship! Please!  
  
Please! this wish for change created to reduce the price for bytes for wasm file to be compatible with polkadot price.

Acroding to ration of market cap it should be 14390 / 20 = 720$ therefore around 40KSM. Ok you can multiply by the ration of num of nodes 297 vs 1000. so it is 3  
So I believe 120 KSM to register wasm file with a max len size should be configured for Kusama runtime.

Summoning all KSM holders to take a careful look what parity is doing to force everyone leave kusama and go to polkadot.  
  
UPD:

[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CaBtljsfPMk](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CaBtljsfPMk)  
Look the second part of this short.

so next in line to develop feature as off-chain runtime upgrade in next year!  
It means that price for registration chain will be the same as now -> be 30k$ for the next year and kusama will still continue to lose devs and projects...

The proposal is calling for Parity to reduce the price of registering a new project on Kusama, which is currently 1110 KSM (over $21k), compared to Polkadot's 3300 DOT (around $14k). The author suggests a price reduction to around 120 KSM to attract more developers and projects to Kusama. The proposal also urges KSM holders to take action and prevent Parity from pushing developers towards Polkadot.

Decrease the amount of reserved KSM when register thread id with code/genesis. Warning to all KSM holders and devs!

- OpenGov and treasury help the Kusama community grow by funding projects.
- Kusama wants more parachains to use its system and burn KSM tokens.
- Parachains with more KSM in their accounts should get more rewards from the treasury.
- Example: If 3 parachains have 10K, 70K, and 20K KSM, they get 10%, 70%, and 20% of rewards.
- Rewards can come from treasury funds, monthly collections, or unspent KSM.
- A special tool can automatically check KSM balances and distribute rewards fairly.
- This system encourages real projects and prevents misuse of rewards.
- The goal is to move more KSM to parachains for better development.

OpenGov and treasury is a good thing and we need to use it properly. 

We as a kusama community want to see as much as possible use cases on parachains and as much as possible burning of kusama with core time usage. 

The best way to turn the table and create good vibe around kusama is to incentivise parachains from treasury depends how many KSM coins are on sovereign accounts of that parachains. This is only one metric that can't be abused. 

For examle there are 3 chains on kusama: A, B, C chain. (during period of 28 days)a

A contains on severign account 10K ksm

B contains on severign account 70K ksm

C contains on severign account 20K ksm

So in total 100K KSM bridged from Kusama relay chain to rollups. Each of them will be rewarded proportionally on the sovereign accounts.

10% to A, 70% to B, 20% to C.

KSM for insentivice is from treasury and could be any what KUSAMA open gov will decide. for example

— % from all KSM in treasury.

— % from KSM collected during month,

— % from KSM that suppose to be burned as not spended.

The distribution to parachain/rollups could/should be done automaticly depends how many KSM on sovereign account was each block during the some period.

It could be done via extra pallet that check balances on sovereigns accounts each block and distribute KSM incentives to that accounts proportionally for total KSM during spending period duration.

This is the best and the fastest way to drive development activity and real product on kusama.  
  

As open gov we still can try to fund some pallet developments, marketing but at the end of final use case for relay chain native currency is bridging as much as possible KSM to parachain/rollups.   
  
To not let abuse the system of insentivise and not drive up only LSD via parachain/sovereign account — could be good to just apply some formula to that balance of sovereign parachain account that pull down total share of such LSD parachain use cases.

Kusama community proposes incentivizing parachains from treasury based on the amount of KSM coins on sovereign accounts. The distribution of KSM incentives to parachain/rollups will be automatic and proportional to the total KSM during the spending period. The proposal aims to drive development activity and real product on Kusama. The cost and timeframe for the proposal are not specified.

Wish for Change. Make Kusama Great Again.

### Proposal Summary

- **Purpose:** Increase funding for Kusama System Parachain Collators.
- **Reason:** Previous proposal failed due to last-minute vote changes and accusations of double spending.
- **Changes:** 
  - Added a video explanation.
  - Revised budget to align with the current market rate.
  - Elected a coordinator (Paradox) to oversee the process.
- **Coverage:** Funds five Kusama System Parachains: AssetHub, BridgeHub, Coretime, People, and Encointer.
- **Duration:** 6 months starting July 1, 2024.
- **Amount:** 7,926.62 KSM.
- **Details:** Includes infrastructure costs and staking rewards. Some budget items are provisional and can be reallocated if not used.

WHO: Kusama System Parachain Collators
WHAT: Proposal for a bounty top-up to cover infrastructure costs and staking rewards for five Kusama System Parachains (AssetHub, BridgeHub, Coretime, People and Encointer) for a 6-month runway, aiming to incentivize the best performance, minimize censorship, and maintain liveliness by securing treasury funding for the operational costs.
PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Funding amount of 7,926.62 KSM starting from July 1, 2024.

Bounty top-up of the System Parachain Collators funding on Kusama

- Encointer is asking for funding for its work from January to June 2024.  
- They fixed two concerns from a previous rejected proposal:  
  - No duplicate spending happened (explained in a video).  
  - Team members will take a 50% salary cut to lower costs.  
- The new request is for **CHF 49,350 (≈ 3,036 KSM)**.  
- Encointer helps communities create their own local money.  
- In 2024, they grew a community in Tanzania and improved their system.  
- They shared lessons from running a local money project in Zurich.

Encointer requests retroactive funding for its expenses in Jan-Jun 2024

_**This updated proposal** addresses the two primary reasons mentioned for the rejection of [Referendum 420](420) with a very tight 49.5%._ 

-   _The first concern was the assumption of duplicated spending by different ecosystem participants. The Encointer team attempted to clarify these allegations through comments, but the misunderstanding persisted throughout the decision period. To rectify this, a video together with Will from ParaNodes, the author of the Proposal for Top-Up Funding of Kusama System Parachain Collators ([Ref 419](419)), has been produced. [This video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Mu2ouBdSsxntsmBtbh9uZzKDEEPNsqb/view) explains the different proposals and confirms that **no duplicated spending occurred**._
-   _The second concern was the perceived high treasury expenditure, given the current state of the treasury. To address this, the Encointer team is offering to officially **waive 50% of the team members' salaries**, reducing the total treasury request significantly._

The reduced amount of the proposed spend is **CHF 49’350 ≃ 59’809 USD  ≃ 3’036 KSM for 6mt operations**

-   [Full Proposal Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXHo0aZbIMmzOY3b1osyalvqX6bF8sT3Pxxklw8Cjpo)

Encointer is a common-good chain on Kusama laying the foundation of a more democratic and more inclusive web3. Its secure and decentralized sybil-resilience protocol enables local communities everywhere to generate their own, autonomous local currency, and use it to stimulate the local economy.

**Main achievements in 2024 so far**

-   Community development and continued growth of Nyota in Tanzania
-   Adoption of Encointer faucet
-   Prototype for democratic community governance (vote weight based on personhood confidence, not funds)
-   Decentralization of infrastructure

Also, some insights and learnings from 2 years Leu Zuerich community: [brenzi's EthereumZuri.ch presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsBuoiAszHE)

Encointer requests retroactive funding of CHF 49,350 for its expenses in Jan-Jun 2024. The proposal addresses concerns of duplicated spending and high treasury expenditure by producing a video and waiving 50% of team members' salaries. Encointer aims to build a common-good chain on Kusama for a more democratic and inclusive web3. Main achievements include community development, adoption of Encointer faucet, prototype for democratic community governance, and decentralization of infrastructure.

This proposal is about changing the burn mechanism in the Kusama and Polkadot protocols. The current system burns 2% of the treasury's funds if they are not spent within a certain time. The proposal suggests allowing OpenGov to change the parameters of the burn mechanism, making it more flexible and easier to control. This would help avoid running up a large balance and encourage spending. The proposal also mentions redirecting 10% of the burn to the Kappa Sigma Mu society account.

Kusama proposes to allow OpenGov to change the parameters of the burn mechanism, which currently burns 2% of treasury funds if not spent. This will enable tokenholders to control the protocol and avoid unnecessary burns. The proposal suggests that it should be quite trivial to make the BurnDestination configurable on runtime/governance as part of the new inflation pallet.

WFC: Allow OpenGov to change the parameters of the burn redirect if not currently possible with upcoming inflation pallet

Subscan is a block explorer and analytics tool for the Kusama network. It helps the community by providing insights and information. To keep Subscan running, it needs money for things like computers, security, and people to work on it. The people who make Subscan want to get money from the Kusama treasury to help pay for these things.

They are asking for $56,144.12 from the Kusama Treasury. This includes money for the time from April to June and some money for later in the year. The amount of KSM (Kusama's money) they will get will be decided by the price of KSM at the time they ask for the money.

The people who make Subscan say thank you to the community for their help and feedback. They have tried to make their costs lower, but they need to keep Subscan good and updated. If they don't get the money they need, they might have to stop Subscan from working on the Kusama network. They hope to keep helping Kusama and want the community's support.

Subscan requests a reimbursement of $56,144.12 USD from the Kusama Treasury to cover the operation and maintenance fees for Subscan from April to June 2024, including server infrastructure, security, and personnel costs. The reimbursement will ensure the continuous operation and maintenance of Subscan, contributing to the growth and development of the Kusama network. The final KSM amount will be calculated based on EMA7 at the time of official submission.

- Current platforms like forums and social media don’t help OpenGov debates well.  
- Problems include messy discussions, hard-to-follow arguments, and misinformation.  
- A new forum is proposed with better tools for debates.  
- Features include organized arguments, easy navigation, and voting.  
- It helps track discussions, find compromises, and review proposals.  
- Real-time updates and timelines make debates clearer.  
- The goal is better, fairer, and more open discussions for OpenGov.

**Overview:** Traditional discussion forums, Telegram, Discord, and social media platforms like X (Twitter) fall short in fostering effective and transparent OpenGov debates. These platforms often lack structured debate features, suffer from off-topic discussions, and fail to provide clear visualization of arguments, leading to fragmented and inefficient conversations.

**Problem Statement:** Current platforms present several issues:

* Traditional Forums: Lack structured debate tools, make following complex arguments difficult, and struggle with scalability.
* Social Media: Fragmented discussions, echo chambers, rapid pace inhibiting in-depth responses, misinformation risks, and inadequate moderation.

**Proposed Solution:** We propose a new discussion forum with features designed to enhance transparency and effectiveness:

* Structured Debates: Logical organization of arguments with interactive tree structures and easy pro/con identification.
* Enhanced Navigation: Features for efficient exploration and tracking debate evolution.
* In-Depth Analysis: Tools for argument evaluation, consensus highlighting, and source integration.
* Q\\\&A and Compromise: Dynamic Q\\\&A sections, real-time voting, and interactive compromise suggestions for collaborative problem-solving.
* Compromise\\\&Agreements: Tools for suggesting and evaluating compromises facilitate collaborative problem-solving, benefiting the negotiation process.
* Proposal Review: Structured layouts for analyzing outcomes, impact assessments, and risk intelligence.
* Analytics Dashboard: Real-time updates on argument strength and community focus.
* Timeline Slider: Visualize argument development and discussion shifts over time.
* Chat Functionality: Direct chat options for discussing arguments in real-time.

**Benefits:** This platform will streamline discussions, prevent misinformation, enhance transparency, and encourage meaningful engagement by integrating diverse opinions and structured analysis tools. It aims to build a more informed and participative OpenGov community.



Thank you.
