Proposal for a Polkadot Global Football Foundation - seeking comment

OpenGov has developed a set of "Accountability Checklists" to ensure accountability for proposals of the spender tracks above 10k DOT. These checklists can be used by anyone to check if OpenGov proposals fulfill the criteria. There are currently 4 checklists available, including a Basic Accountability Checklist, Bounty Checklist, Software Development Checklist, and Marketing Checklist. These checklists can be improved and additional checklists can be added for other categories. The checklists are aligned with the Treasury Reporting Standards and the Strategy. OpenGov will work with stakeholders to make the checklists available and visible.

OpenGov Accountability Checklists

1. The writer is talking about a digital currency called Dot and how to control its inflation.
2. They suggest that fixing the supply of Dot is not a good solution because demand for it can change.

discussion about inflation and even a little more

Interlay is a BTC bridge and Bitcoin DeFi Hub in the Polkadot ecosystem. They need more iBTC collateralization to meet the high demand for iBTC. They plan to add new lending markets, new vault collaterals, and research how to improve the Vault model. They propose three options for the Polkadot Treasury to incentivize 40 iBTC capacity for use throughout the Polkadot ecosystem. These options are to grant DOT to pay out as vault rewards, use VDOT staking rewards to perpetually increase vault staking rewards, or loan DOT collateral to trusted vault operators who would directly create iBTC minting capacity against the treasury’s DOT collateral. The wider Polkadot community is invited to provide feedback.

Incentivize Interlay iBTC capacity as Polkadot common good

1. The Polkadot Treasury is where money from Dot inflation goes to maintain the security of the network.
2. Some people try to influence voting for delegations to benefit themselves, which is not fair.
3. The author suggests creating a new type of delegation where everyone has the same voting power, to balance out the power of wealthy stakeholders.
4. This would promote more democratic participation and attract new people to Polkadot Open Gov.
5. The author will only vote in Open Gov if there is a possibility for this type of democratic rebalance.

- The Polkadot Hydration Campaign aims to attract liquidity and attention to the Polkadot ecosystem.
- The campaign will provide liquidity mining incentives for LPing into DOT, 7 other ecosystem assets, iBTC, vDOT, and native stablecoins.
- This will enable more efficient trading for all DeFi users of Polkadot and translate into higher volumes in the Omnipool.
- The proposal will be ratified by HydraDX token-holder governance before being put on-chain as a referendum on Polkadot.
- The full proposal can be read in the provided link.

Polkadot Hydration: Liquidity Incentives

- Polkadot Hydration Campaign aims to build accessible and deep layer of native liquidity for Polkadot 2.0 ecosystem
- Proposal suggests providing 500,000 DOT as liquidity into the HydraDX Omnipool in a decentralized and non-custodial manner
- DOT is the asset with the highest trading volume in the Omnipool
- Deeper DOT liquidity would provide better order execution for anyone trading DOT on HydraDX
- The funds will remain under the control of the Polkadot Protocol and OpenGov.

Polkadot Hydration: Treasury LP

- Bifrost has secured a new lease for a different period, which will cause a pause in block production for approximately 4-8 hours.
- A solution to this problem is suggested, which involves clearing the lease of para 3356 and adding it to para 2030 using the Lease Admin governance track.
- The Lease Admin track has a larger capacity and requires less DOT to be locked up for initiating governance.
- This governance action will destroy the leasing rights of Bifrost and reissue them in para 2030 to avoid the suspension of service due to the parachain stop producing blocks.
- There is a potential risk that the manual modification of the lease may affect the normal expiration and unlocking of the two crowdloans, but it is assessed that it will not affect the normal unlocking.

Transfer the Lease of Bifrost Parachain 3356 to Bifrost Parachain 2030 to avoid downtime

Proposal

The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app is a project that aims to provide educational resources about Polkadot and blockchain technologies in the local language for users in Ethiopia and across Africa. The project is still in the planning stage and has not yet entered the development phase. The absence of comprehensive educational resources in Amharic for learning about Polkadot blockchain technology in Ethiopia is a problem that needs to be addressed. The app will provide structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support in the native language. The app will track progress effectively and boost motivation. The project will contribute to diversity, knowledge contribution, and global accessibility within the Polkadot ecosystem.
