- A group of companies (BlockOps, Dwellir, LuckyFriday, OnFinality, RadiumBlock, RockX, and Stakeworld) proposed a plan for better public RPC services in Polkadot and Kusama.
- RPC services are important for apps like Polkadot.JS and wallets to work well.
- The plan aims to make these services high-quality, decentralized, and affordable.
- There are two ways for RPC providers to apply: one focuses on cost, and the other on service quality.
- The budget is $400,000, split between Polkadot and Kusama treasuries.
- Providers will be monitored, and their performance will be shared publicly.
- The plan includes a 6-month operations phase where providers must meet service standards.
- Feedback and suggestions from the community are welcome to improve the proposal.

Infrastructure Builders Program

This proposal aims to increase the presence of Polkadot and Kusama in the Russian-speaking community by offering a one-year budget for rewards. The requested allocation is 5555 KSM, which is approximately $160,000 or $13,330 per month. The proposal focuses on four main areas: content creation, chat moderation, event hosting, and anti-scam activity. The goal is to inspire and encourage individuals to contribute to the ecosystem, attract new members, and ensure quality and relevant content for the community. The proposal also addresses the lack of incentives for Russian-speaking content creators, the unpresentable view of Polkadot and Kusama in the Russian-speaking environment, the lack of offline activities, and the lack of interest from companies in Russian-speaking countries towards Polkadot and Kusama.

Russian-speaking community support and development

Budget on rewards for content creators, chat moderation, anti-scam activity and events for 1 year
Proponent: ETdYaUAqUWTTA6hXm9edwDWEn6iBYaRK2mJCUwaKQzfqQYS Date: 10 May 2024 Requested allocation: 5555 KSM (approximately 160K$ or 13,33K$ per month) KSM 7D EMA according to Subscan: $28.862 Proposed Curator reward: Specified in section 4.2 Short description: A year-long bounty to increase the education, awareness and presence of Polkadot &amp; Kusama in the Russian-speaking community by producing content, hosting events, maintaining related chats and anti-scam activity.
<ol>
<li>Context of the bounty. The Russian-speaking community is one of the most active and vibrant in the whole Web3. However, interest in the Russian-speaking Polkadot &amp; Kusama ecosystem has seen a significant decline due to a lack of enthusiasts and content. We aim to change that by introducing a bounty specifically for the Russian-speaking community.</li>
</ol>
More than 250 million people around the world speak Russian, with Russian-speaking countries consistently ranking among the top nations by global cryptocurrency volume. Furthermore, a significant number of Russian-speaking developers are contributing to the development of the Polkadot &amp; Kusama ecosystem.
Why we focused on Kusama Treasury? We see huge untapped potential in Kusama, being Polkadot's canary sister and truly community driven, Kusama has the potential for massive growth in terms of new projects, liquidity, and users&mdash;especially following the main bridge launch and full integration with Polkadot. One of the main priorities of this bounty is to enhance the visibility of Kusama.
With this Bounty, we want to breathe a second life into the Russian-speaking community, inspire and encourage individuals to contribute to the ecosystem, and ensure that community members receive quality and relevant content. Moreover, one of our top priorities is to attract community members that are currently outside of the Polkadot &amp; Kusama ecosystem.
Our bounty is designed not only to incentivize active ecosystem enthusiasts and community members, but also to bring new members, educate about Polkadot tech, engage with crypto influencers, and establish partnerships.
Based on the experience of colleagues from other regions, as well as on the peculiarities of our region, we decided to divide the Bounty into 4 sections:
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>Russian-speaking content. To address the lack of quality, reliable and relevant content, we want to incentivize content creators to start contributing to the ecosystem on an ongoing basis. By contributing to the ecosystem, we mean translation of key Polkadot &amp; Kusama news and updates into Russian, and the production of audio-visual and textual content in Russian.</li>
<li>Chat moderation and maintenance. In this section, we want to solve the problem of the abandoned Russian-speaking channel on the official Polkadot Discord server and support the current moderators in Polkadot &amp; Kusama Telegram chats, which work on full enthusiasm.</li>
<li>Event hosting. Hosting events is a very important part of community building, so we want to give passionate community members the opportunity to host local events without worrying about the troubles they would have to face when requesting funds from the treasury.</li>
<li>Anti-Scam activity. Preventing scam, phishing attacks, and other destructive and harmful activity in the Russian-speaking community. Delivering information about these attempts to main Anti-Scam team in order to collaborate and prevent these activities from occurring. Curators will take the lead in this area of work, ensuring that we are always aware of any new threats and taking appropriate measures to protect our users.</li>
</ol>
Сurators selected for the Content Production and Event Hosting sections are responsible for reviewing the related submissions. The quality of the submission is evaluated on a point system, and the amount of rewards for contributors is directly related to the number of points received for the submitted work.
Problem statement: 
No incentive to produce content: Despite all the advantages that OpenGov offers, it is almost entirely focused on contributing in English, making it almost impossible for a Russian-speaking content creator to get funding.
An unpresentable view of Polkadot &amp; Kusama in a Russian-speaking environment: Due to the lack of content, translations of latest updates, and an abandoned Russian-speaking Discord channel, potential Polkadot &amp; Kusama users may have a wrong impression of the ecosystem.
Lack of offline activities: Without funding, growth and development of offline events are impossible. This also affects participation in major Russian-speaking cryptocurrency conferences.
Lack of interest from companies in Russian-speaking countries towards Polkadot &amp; Kusama: A low presence and an inactive community can influence decision-making regarding Polkadot &amp; Kusama and negatively impact deal closings.
3. Submission information
We expect all contributors participating in the Bounty to follow the rules below:
<ul>
<li>Be original: The content you submit must be original and preferably reflect your own unique style.</li>
<li>Be respectful: We do not support content that offends or discriminates against any social groups.</li>
<li>Be truthful: Ensure all information in your content is accurate and not misleading curators and community.</li>
<li>Be responsible: Take responsibility for the quality of the content you create.</li>
<li>Be proactive. Stay updated with the Bounty's progress and actively engage in content creation.</li>
</ul>
This proposal divides the scope of submissions into the following categories:
2.1 Creation of Russian language audiovisual content 2.2 Creation of Russian language writing content 2.3 Translation of content and updates into Russian 2.4 Organization of events oriented to the Russian-speaking community

- **How**: 
  - Use a Discord bot to reward researchers and content creators with Treasury Bounty.
  - Content Directors can give custom "value emojis" to reward good work.
  - People get paid weekly for sharing or creating original content.
  - Everyone can join, and everything is transparent.
  - A public dashboard shows bounties in real time.
  - Multiple projects can support the same group of researchers and creators.
- **Proof of Work**:
  - A trial ran from January 10 to April 10.
  - 11 treasuries participated.
  - 495 pieces of content were created.
  - Some participants became full or part-time builders.
- **More Info**: Check the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m9Bo8fH408BV5t2ODvindl4S0W2BfbtDxrwAl9j71k0/edit#).
- **Feedback**: Questions and suggestions are welcome! Visit [WagMedia](https://treasury.bright.dev/bounties/discord.gg/YUXqjVXWtp) to learn more.

Bounty for Content Development and Incentivization

- The tools will show how things like upgrades, governance, and chains work in Dotsama.
- They will also make it easier for non-technical users to do things without needing extra tools.
- OpenSquare will create a website to help developers work together on these projects.
- They will start with tools for identity and vesting, and plan to add more features later.
