Due to an issue in the recent [decommissioning of Governance 1.0 on Kusama](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7314), which was enacted via [Referendum 301](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/301), deposits associated with Treasury spend proposals remain locked. This referendum seeks to slash Kusama Gov 1.0 treasury deposits and refund the corresponding amounts to their respective proposers in a batch call similar to [Referendum 73](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/73), which was previously submitted on Polkadot.
Please note that spam proposals numbered 291, 292, 293, 294, and 296 have been identified as invalid submissions. Consequently, any bond associated with these proposals, as well as older proposals rejected by the council, are not included in this `forceBatch` call.

- There was a problem with a recent change to Kusama's governance system.
- This caused deposits for spending proposals to be locked.
- A new referendum has been proposed to refund these deposits to their proposers.
- Some proposals were identified as invalid and will not be included in the refund.
- This is similar to a previous refund on Polkadot.

***SUMMARY***

DeStore aims to revolutionise the e-commerce industry by enabling businesses to tokenize real-world assets and create multi-resource Digital Twins that have utility in both In Real Life (IRL), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality, (AR) environments. Our core objective is to bridge the gap between traditional e-commerce and the new age of blockchain-based Digital Twins, unlocking new possibilities for growth and expansion.

We are not just an e-commerce platform; we are a dedicated phygital asset marketplace that is paving the way for the future of e-commerce, where the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are erased, and anything is possible. Our business maintains the core principles of decentralization, security, and transparency; With a vision of enabling brands to be self-sovereign and trade outside the traditional banking sector. 

In preparation for the Kusama Hoodie Trial, which was approved in our first proposal to the Kusama Council and Treasury [(Motion 562)](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/562), we have been gaining valuable insights and have prepared ourselves to move forward with dropshipping trials. This trial helped us collect data on how to build out a scalable solution for the Polkadot ecosystem, it has given us the ability to establish numerous partnerships, and has allowed us to implement significant changes to our platform in order to enhance its performance and functionality. However, we faced multiple challenges during the trial and ran out of time and funds, as our initial proposal was for a period of 3 to 6 months.

Thus, we are proposing some changes to our previous proposal, and presenting a new proposal to achieve our vision. With this new proposal, we are pursuing an additional 6 months and funding of $ 150,396 USD from the Kusama treasury. This budget will enable us to continue developing and refining the platform, to research logic around physical products with a Digital Twin and conduct further community trials with products or merchandise supplied or donated by the brands.


**With this proposal accepted, we plan to achieve:**

1. Deployment on 4 Substrate based chains.
2. Logistical, technical, and marketing support for 4 chains.
3. Support up to 15 SMEs/DAOs, to the ability to sell and distribute phygital products on the Parachains that they choose.
4. Release the XR Kusama hoodie wearable instead of the initial regular hoodie.
Create DeStore Network API for Wallets, Centralised and Decentralised exchanges to connect to, and sell products on each connected chain. 

This new proposal represents a significant step towards creating a decentralised app store and payment system that will revolutionise the way we interact with physical products.

DeStore is a company that wants to change the way we shop online by using blockchain technology to create digital versions of real-world products that can be used in virtual and augmented reality. They want to make it easier for businesses to sell their products without relying on traditional banks. They did a trial with a hoodie and learned a lot, but ran out of time and money. Now they want more money and time to keep working on their platform. They want to deploy on 4 different blockchain chains, support small businesses, and release a new type of hoodie. They hope to create a new way to buy and sell things online.

PROPOSAL 2.0 - TIME EXTENSION AND FURTHER FUNDING

Untitled

**Proposal**:

A Simplified Thread on Twitter about Kusama. The thread will be a basic overview for beginners.

**Why Is This Needed?**

Kusama can be extremely overwhelming, especially for new users outside DOT/KUSAMA. 

This will save them time understanding Kusama and what it is attempting to accomplish.

**How Much Time Will Be Spent Writing This Thread? (Roughly)**

- Research: 20 Hours?
- Creating Custom Diagrams & Material: 4 Hours?
- Writing Twitter Thread: 3 Hours?

- Total Time: ~30 Hours

**How Much Compensation Is Being Requested?**

Since the estimate is 30 hours of work, the requested amount for this proposal is **0 KSM**. This is not a typo. **ZERO KSM**. 

(For the proposal I had to type in a value greater than 0, so I typed in 0.0001 KSM. The Beneficiary Account is the Treasury.)

**What's The Catch?**

There is none.

**Why Post A Proposal Then?**

Wanted to create a proposal that was too good to reject.

**How Do We Know The Thread Will Be Professional And Not Trolling?**

Simplify DeFi aims to simplify and educate. This thread will be an ever-green resource to help the audience understand KSM and save time researching.

**CONCLUSION:**
Kusama can be extremely overwhelming for people outside the community.

This thread will be a great resource to provide a simplified overview of Kusama and what it is attempting to accomplish.

For an estimated amount of 30 Hours of work and 0 KSM (**ZERO KSM**), hopefully this proposal is a no-brainer :)
