Incorrect Proposal. Please Reject

The discussion prior to proposal [link](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/2474)

**On behalf of our team**, we propose the creation of a ParaSpell XCM SDK & XCM UI Maintenance Bounty that will work to aid team that have been previously **funded by the Basilisk Parachain team** and **the Web3 Foundation** which also proposed the idea of Treasury Bounty funding for this project here: [link](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/pull/1541#issuecomment-1441342524) 

More information on project funding and achievements can be found in our official docs: [link](https://paraspell.github.io/docs/#project-achievements-so-far)

This bounty is for maintaining infrastructure and performing continued operations to improve SDK in many useful ways mentioned in our application document below.

Hence, the Maintenance Bounty is meant to be open-ended, with the funds being distributed through child bounties that cover work for team that will take care of the continued development of the essential infrastructure. The following proposed child bounties contain mainly the recurring tasks for checking XCM support, resolving issues raised by developers, and implementing new ideas that could further improve already very useful XCM SDK and UI. 

We believe that this tool is needed in this ecosystem and we are working very hard to prove this. Unification can bring ease of integration and speed of dApp development significantly. This Polkadot forum post goes to show, that developers actively search for such tool. [link](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/grant-ideas-and-wishlists/399)

# Motivation
Archives are an important piece of Polkadot and Kusama data infrastructure provided by Subsquid. They provide access to on-chain data in GraphQL format for all major parachains on Kusama and Polkadot, with more chains getting support as the ecosystem grows. They are being used as a data source for Squids and for efficient data exploration and ad-hoc queries. An up-to-date list of Archives is kept in a public Archive Registry
# Achievements
At the end of Q2 Subsquid released a new generation of Archives, together with a major version of the SDK, both code named “Fire Squid”.
The improvements brought by this release include:
- Substantial performance increase, with the ability to deploy a new Archive for a chain as big as Kusama, and the indexing to be ready in roughly a day
- Fire Squid Archives support batch requests, which lead to a hundredfold increase in performance of indexing project connecting to them (squids)
- Fire Squid Archives expose two separate gateways, configured and tuned for different uses (one for data exploration by humans, the other one specifically for programmatic and batch access)
- Fire Squid Archives “unwrap” proxy, sudo and batch calls, tracing the origin, but making them much easier to access them
Subsquid has also engaged in continuously improving the product, iteratively working on adding features, such as EVM Transactions indexing, and subscriptions to queries in the Graphql endpoints of indexing projects created with the Subsquid SDK (commonly called squids).
# Statistics
Between 2022-09-03 (when tracking has started) and 2022-09-30 Subsquid’s Archive infrastructure has collectively:
- Served a total of 129,468,038.2 (~129 million) queries in the month of September alone
- Our 7 day average peaks above 5 million queries and adjusts around 3.3 million queries per day at the end of the period
Data from the month of October confirms the linear trend, allowing us to make assumptions for the months of July and August, given the steady growth of queries over time shown.

Full report [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQji6zUckBRq3Q8H0xOSLjmFDUkKHckt9SiSIIMdCw_Ck_qpiAhFltGxnNavCmFJcebiBznKO_dleis/pub)

Subsquid is a company that provides data indexing infrastructure for Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.

In September 2022, Subsquid's Archive infrastructure served over 129 million queries. 
They have requested 1,340.48 KSM to cover the ongoing costs of running their infrastructure.

Subsquid - Public data indexing Infrastructure for Polkadot and Kusama (Q3 2022)

Hello Kusama community,

This proposal is for a retroactive grant of my two open source, free tools. One for selecting the best validators and another for gathering staking income in a spreadsheet. You can try the validator selector [here](https://james-sangalli.github.io/dot-validator-selector/) and the staking income spreadsheet generator [here](https://james-sangalli.github.io/dot-staking-income-web/).

I originally set out to create these tools because I was struggling with staking. Selecting the best validators and tracking your staking income were unsolved issues at the time and they are still causing confusion for many. Therefore, I decided to solve my own problems and the problems of others by creating simple, easy to use tools that would get the job done. 

You can read the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YT2qssdH12AtWFRloRnBanK6H1sGuE6EaX782d4qK40/edit?usp=sharing).

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal!



- A person created two free tools to help with staking in Kusama.
- The first tool helps to choose the best validators.
- The second tool helps to track staking income in a spreadsheet.
- The person created these tools because they had trouble with staking and wanted to help others.
- The proposal is for a retroactive grant for these tools.

Polkadot/Kusama staking tools proposal

Hi Community,

We recently launched [Polkawatch decentralization analytics on Kusama](https://twitter.com/polkawatch/status/1578348493303083008), and [Nomination Pools](https://twitter.com/polkawatch/status/1583591038572036098) support.

The community is becoming more and more aware of the need for effective decentralization in our Ecosystem.

The interest peaked with a recent[ deplatforming event of Solana nodes](https://twitter.com/polkawatch/status/1588130270917627910) by a Network operator. 

We are been contacted by other teams of our community: Wallets, Parachains, Data Scientists, etc That want access to the data and help contribute to bringing awareness to the ecosystem. Which I think is good news.

Parachains are secured by the rely chain, but they are still vulnerable to censorship. Censorship could come from dishonest collators, deplatforming from network operators or sudden regulatory changes from hosting Countries. Despite been secured by the rely chain, parachains would benefit from decentralization analytics too.

On this proposal we aim to bring parachain support for Polkawatch, on top of continued operation of the service and other minor improvements.

The proposal has been for [discussion](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/post/1942) here.

We were invited to participate in [AAG#11](https://twitter.com/polkawatch/status/1595083537107009537) where an interesting discussion followed

Community feedback has been incorporated to the proposal.

You can access the [detailed proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ljvYDuazbNBgjf94yFUbUEdeyBN5ixG6BXAEKxuxmL4/edit?usp=sharing) here.


- Polkawatch launched new features for decentralization analytics and nomination pools support.
- The community is becoming more aware of the importance of effective decentralization in the ecosystem.
- Parachains are secured by the rely chain but are still vulnerable to censorship, which could come from dishonest collators, deplatforming from network operators, or sudden regulatory changes from hosting countries.
- Polkawatch aims to bring parachain support and other minor improvements to the service.

Treasury Proposal: Polkawatch Decentralization Analytics Parachain Support and Continued Operation.

- **Treasury Proposal:** Snowbridge Funding Proposal
- **Beneficiary:** Gbb7iGbd6Q7o1fGcT2Re4L6RXJ3U7A32itSLMjsUJzmq5LD
- **Amount:** USD 612,000.00 based on EMA7 rate by Subscan
- **Scope:** See the [full funding proposal](https://spinamp.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmehcCU8LjXRpj962YZYVJfHzwecvvdxbRH9BMEmiumcb9) for more details

# Overview
Snowbridge is a fully trustless, permissionless and general purpose bridge between Polkadot networks and Ethereum. The proposal covers a request for a 28 months worth of runway for all operations for the Snowbridge team, with the goal to launch as a common-good bridge on Kusama and Polkadot.

Our bridge will launch on the Bridge Hub, a common-good parachain that is being developed by Parity for Kusama and Polkadot.

The proposal includes a motivation for supporting and promoting Snowbridge, a long term roadmap, governance and economic plans as well as incentives for successful execution, launch and long term running of the project.

# Changes
The original Polkassembly post was created 4 weeks ago with extensive community discussion around the project here: [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1341](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1341)

This final proposal is the same as in the above post, though a few small changes have been made:

- Added more details about the bridge hub, with XCMv3 and Statemint XCM as an extra milestone of work on our roadmap
- Add 1 month to the launch date to account for the extra work needed for XCMv3 changes for to bridge hub
- We've extended the runway to 28 months instead of 24 month, but we're keeping the price the same and will cover the additional months with a small reduction in costs

# History
Snowfork is one of the longest running teams contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem. For over 2 years we've been working on Snowbridge, a fully trustless and permissionless bridge to Ethereum. We successfully built and completed an initial version of this bridge in September 2021, based on an Ethereum Proof of Work light client and on Parity's original BEEFY proof system funded by an initial grant from the Web3 Foundation.

# Purpose
Polkadot already has a few live Ethereum bridges across various parachains, but these all compromise on Polkadot's security and trust model. Some are secured by trusted multi-sigs, some are secured by alternative insurance collateral, but none are secured by Polkadot and none of the Ethereum or ERC20 assets that exist in the Polkadot ecosystem today are secured by Polkadot's security and trust model.

We believe that without a fully trustless bridge that is secured by Polkadot itself, the security of the wider Polkadot ecosystem is put at risk and that Snowbridge's trustless design is essential to a healthy ecosystem that can support Ethereum-based assets. Similarly, trustless support for Polkadot assets across the Ethereum ecosystem will be a valuable boon for us all.

Snowbridge is also general-purpose, supporting arbitrary message passing and cross-chain smart contract calls, so any kinds of applications can be developed on top of it beyond plain asset transfer.

Additionally, as a common good service, longer term Snowbridge will be able to provide new value for the DOT token itself and generate an additional source of income for the treasury, or an additional lockup/burn mechanism for reducing the DOT supply.

## Funding Request
This proposal is a funding request for 28 months worth of long term runway for all operations for the Snowbridge team *(16 months retroactive, 12 months in future)*, with the goal to launch as a common-good bridge on the Bridge hub on both Polkadot and Kusama.

The full proposal has been uploaded to IPFS separately, and includes extensive additional details related to further motivation for supporting and promoting Snowbridge, a long term roadmap, governance and economic plans as well as long term economic incentives for successful execution, launch and running of the project.

We request that anyone looking to meaningfully contribute to this discussion also reads through this full proposal.

This initial funding requests will be created alongside a secondary request on Kusama:

- **Requested USD on Polkadot:** USD 2,448,000.00 based on EMA7 rate by Subscan.
- **Requested USD on Kusama:** USD 612,000.00 based on EMA7 rate by Subscan.

There is an additional request for around USD 10,000,000.00 of long term economic incentives tied to key success milestones on the bridge, tied to measurable impact on the Polkadot ecosystem, although this payment will not be part of this first requested allocation.

We're planning to push out this proposal in the next month, and so are looking for early feedback and discussion from the community before going live with the proposal.

## Roadmap
1. Support XCMv3
2. Mint wrapped assets on Statemint
3. Governance and upgradability
4. Dynamic circuit breaker on withdrawals 
5. Security Audits
6. Deploy on Kusama (April 2023)
7. Deploy on Polkadot (July 2023)

See the [full funding proposal](https://spinamp.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmehcCU8LjXRpj962YZYVJfHzwecvvdxbRH9BMEmiumcb9) for more details.

Snowbridge Funding Proposal

Hello everyone, I am Hitesh from Describedot. We create educational videos and weekly updates around the Dotsama ecosystem. We started this channel about a year ago and we have already published 34 videos on our youtube channel. Our weekly viewing growth had been over 28 percent which led us to approximately 30,000 views in a year. Recently we’ve also received great support from the Council Members of Polkadot and Kusama through tip endorsements. We are really thankful to the community members who supported us and assisted us in making great content.

Just last year we learned that people want to know about governance, about networks but they don’t have any resources to walk them through it. We decided to create basic videos during our early days and this has helped users to explore the Polkadot stack. They expressed their gratitude through likes and comments on our videos. Our main focus is to teach the Polkadot stack as well as governance in layman's terms to the Hindi audience.

Our first milestone was covered by WagMedia but we are looking to continue the work with a spending proposal. 

You can learn more about our proposal from the document. Let the community know if you have any questions. We are happy to answer them

**Short Description:**

Support Colorful Notion’s Polkaholic.io open source XCM/Multichain block explorer, indexing of all Polkadot + Kusama + parachain data with a special emphasis on XCM Transfers / Messages, made available in UI/API/CDN/BigQuery form to support Polkadot+Kusama ecosystem’s multichain initiatives.

**Proposal Summary:**

Colorful Notion proposes to:
- Expose and maintain public archive of all the raw data indexed by Polkaholic.io (blocks, extrinsics, events and traces) available in CDN form and then in BigQuery form and indexed data (specifically and especially XCM transfers and XCM messages) in API form
- Continue to index all Polkadot chains to the fullest extent possible to generate and maintain the archive with APIs, which may be relied upon by large scale archival systems.  These APIs maintain Value transfers/XCM transfers according to DEX info on top  “defi” parachains
- Model XCM Transfers and Messages across the entire Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem
- Enhance Polkaholic.io indexing as the Polkadot ecosystem expands: New parachains, new pallets generating XCM extrinsics/messages  with new XC Assets, support for ERC20/PSP22/ERC721/PSP34 assets, XCMv3, and new bridges

- Colorful Notion wants to support an open source block explorer called Polkaholic.io.
- The explorer will index all data from Polkadot, Kusama, and parachains with a focus on XCM transfers and messages.
- The data will be made available in UI/API/CDN/BigQuery form to support multichain initiatives.
- Colorful Notion will continue to index all Polkadot chains and maintain the archive with APIs.
- They will also enhance the indexing as the Polkadot ecosystem expands with new features and assets.

### Hello !

This is my proposal for a new way of accurately viewing and using data in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem. 

90.433 KSM has been requested using the 7 day EMA KSM price of $55.29, [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ydePOYhwf2I9eZtKjBUpCRK_WMncuyThOonL3AphF_4/edit?usp=sharing) is a link to the google docs link !

The new Kusama runtime 1000000 introduced a XCM bug that can result partially executed XCM and stuck of funds.

I worked with Parity devs to debug and identify the root cause of the bug, create [a Github issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2238) described action items, [a twitter thread](https://twitter.com/XiliangChen/status/1722546330382565572) explaining the bug, [suggestion to parachain teams](https://twitter.com/XiliangChen/status/1722546359071609103) to workaround the issue. I also created [a test script](https://github.com/xlc/chopsticks-ksm-xcm/tree/master) using Chopsticks to reproduce the issue, and use it to verify the fix.

I will also work with Fellowship to setup e2e tests and regression tests for future releases. But this can be considered out of scope of this tip.

- There is a bug in a new computer program called Kusama runtime 1000000.
- This bug can cause some actions to only be partially completed and money to get stuck.
- The person who wrote this post worked with other computer programmers to find and fix the bug.
- They made a plan to fix the bug and shared it on a website called Github and on Twitter.
- They also made a test to make sure the bug was fixed and suggested ways for other teams to avoid the bug.

Our [last referendum](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/291) was unfortunately rejected in the confirmation period. As it dropped below 50% approval, the referendum went back into the decision period. But the specific referendum already elapsed the allowed decision period of 14 days when it was knocked out of confirmation. A referendum that does not meet the requirements to enter confirmation at the end of its decision period will fail. 

We appreciate everyone that supported us and all the feedback received. 🖤

We are keen to keep building. To help us get back to work faster we are reducing our asking amount by 20% in this referendum.

Dear Community,

The Proof of Chaos project is running full steam again. For the past 9 months we worked hard to bring our vision to life. It has been a period of constant learning and pivoting in this fast paced environment. We are very proud of where the project is going and what we have built: **anyone can now mint governance participation rewards and receive royalties whenever they are traded**. 

We demoed this with a [sendout for all voters of Referendum 0](https://t.co/bkkytK5D1U) on Kusama.
Most of the work done to date has been covered through our last funding round in November of last year. As the future around NFTs was very uncertain at the start of this year we took the strategic decision to run our engine on minimum steam until there was more clarity on the horizon. Through this decision we have been able to stretch our last funding pretty far. 

We did run a bit overboard though (19.2k USD) as we completely revamped our code base. We now have a new site and the new code allows for much quicker and cheaper implementation of new features in the future. For example with the new codebase adding multi-chain support is now very easy. This proposal seeks retroactive funding for those hours and outlines our future roadmap.

With a period of heavy development to build a solid foundation behind us, we will now also start focusing on marketing our tool. Reward creators currently have to lock up approximately 7KSM per sendout for a referendum of 500 votes. So while they do earn royalties on the trades, in the current market climate it is tough to earn back that amount through trades. In this regard we want to launch a program that reimburses the first 10 reward creators with the amount paid/locked up through their send-outs. We have included a budget of 7KSM*10 to fund the first 10 creators and get things going.

### Our Value To the Ecosystem
Our goal is to bring more participants to on-chain governance on Polkadot and Kusama to secure the network through increased decentralization. Besides governance participation increasing notably since the introduction of our project in gov1, we also achieved doing the following:
- We recently published a clean UI to allow anyone in the ecosystem to send NFTs as rewards for participating in on chain governance. 
- We work alongside many other ecosystem teams to elevate the whole. We frequently discuss with Parity, Encointer, Kilt and Kodadot to provide feedback and develop ideas in the realm of the Polkadot ecosystem. We are amongst the first builders on the nfts pallet on Assethub for example. Similarly we also created PRs for [Subsquare](https://github.com/opensquare-network/subsquare/pull/2298) and [Kodadot](https://github.com/kodadot/nft-gallery/pull/7013#issuecomment-1699470842) in the past as we found bugs and built new features for the respective projects.
- We provide another interface (besides Polkassembly, Subsquare) for voting on OpenGov referenda (currently Kusama + Polkadot, more possible), that works in the browser and on mobile (besides Nova, SubWallet). We think it is important to have different options available.
- [Our code](https://github.com/Proof-Of-Chaos/website) is fully open source. We build with the latest tech and best practices. Our codebase is a valuable example for any current and future builders. Things develop fast and not every aspect of the ecosystem is well documented. In these areas especially using our code as an example will save future builders many hours of reaching out to teams for clarification and pain-staking debugging. We have gone through that process already with various ecosystem teams and through our lessons learnt helped improve documentation as in the example of KILT.



Proof of Chaos is a project that helps people participate in on-chain governance on Polkadot and Kusama. They have built a platform that allows anyone to mint governance participation rewards and receive royalties when they are traded. They are seeking retroactive funding of 802KSM ($16842) to continue building their project and provide artist subsidies. They have reduced their asking amount by 20% in this referendum. They have achieved notable success in increasing governance participation and have published a clean UI to allow anyone in the ecosystem to send NFTs as rewards for participating in on-chain governance. They also work alongside many other ecosystem teams to elevate the whole and provide another interface for voting on OpenGov referenda.
