Fearless Wallet - Multi-asset & networks support proposal

SubQuery and Fearless Wallet are working together to create an open source API for the Kusama blockchain. This API will help developers build applications that can access important data from the Kusama chain without having to directly query the chain data. The project has three milestones:

1. Create an open-source SubQuery project for common data.
2. Document and publish learning material and tutorials.
3. Implement the SubQuery project for Kusama.

The second milestone focuses on implementing the SubQuery project for Kusama, making it open source and available for everyone to use. This will improve the interoperability of decentralized applications (DApps) and parachains, and attract more developers to work on Kusama. The API is designed to work across any parachain, and the developers welcome feedback from the Kusama community to improve it over time.

Open-Source DApp API: Milestone 2

Ask! is a project that aims to provide contract frameworks and compilation tools using AssemblyScript. It allows contracts to run in the FRAME Pallet-Contracts and call each other. The development of v0.2 was completed a month ago, and v0.3 will add new features and improvements.

Main features of v0.3 include:
1. A project management tool called `ask-cli` that helps create and manage Ask! projects.
2. Performance optimizations, such as merging `@storage` and `@contract`, optimizing key generation logic, reducing calls to `seal_set_storage`, and defining the export format of Map and Array in metadata.json.
3. System parameter types in custom `env` to meet specific requirements.
4. Unit testing and documentation to help developers learn and use Ask!.

The development timeline for v0.3 is 10 weeks with a cost of $93,000. Verification of v0.3 can be done through the official npm library, examples, tutorials, and API documentation.

Kusama has a proposal to make educational videos about KSM technology and philosophy. The first two videos are done. You can find the proposal and watch the videos on the links provided. People named Bruno and PARACT have commented on the proposal.

Kusama Explainer Video Series - Part 2

The Kusama Council and MIDL.dev, an Estonian company, have proposed a treasury plan to provide blockchain database snapshots for the Kusama network. This will help node operators and validators quickly set up or restore their infrastructure. The service includes daily snapshots, a website with metadata and download links, incident management, and redundant implementation setup. The website polkashots.io has been providing snapshots for validators for six months and is the only provider of this service. The proposal requests funding from the Kusama treasury every six months to cover operational expenses, including labor and cloud costs. The budget is calculated based on the exchange rate of KSM/EUR and includes a 5% slippage and conversion fee. If approved, work will start immediately.

The Validator Resource Center and Ranking Website (VRC) has entered Phase 2, which enhances the ranking method to better represent user preferences. The VRC score is now a major factor in the manual selection process, and new metrics have been added to reduce the information load on nominators. A new filtering technique helps to reduce the overall set of validators, making it easier for nominators to make appropriate selections. A staking dashboard has also been introduced, providing visual and numerical information about the network.

The proposal covers the development of milestones 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The majority of the work for these milestones has been completed, with the team finalizing details on M10 for further development. In Phase 2, the team extended previous work and incorporated three major upgrades:

1. A new manual selection for validators, taking into account custom scoring and a filtering technique to remove quantitatively dominated validators from the overall lists.
2. A dashboard that shows general information and graphs with metrics over time, making it easier to cope with the ever-changing nature of the network.
3. A process for nominators to cultivate their on-chain nominations by comparing past nominations to the most recent era and flagging critical events.

The proposal also includes a way to feature not-elected validators to incentivize their inclusion in the user's validator set. The final part of the VRC Development covers milestones 6 to 10, with a total estimation of EUR 4,000.00. Payment conditions include one submission per milestone, with subsequent milestones to be paid after delivery. The overall timeline is 5 weeks.
