Polkadot People Initiative: Incentives for Mass Polkadot Activation Campaign

Here is a simple summary of the proposal:

- The treasury is losing money every 24 days.
- This is called "the burn."
- The burn was meant to encourage people to use treasury funds.
- Now, the total supply of DOT is capped, so the treasury will get less money over time.
- Important people in the community agree we should stop the burn.
- Stopping it will save money for future projects.
- This money can help the network grow and stay secure.
- The proposal says: vote "AYE" to stop the burn and save the funds.

Tip Proposal: CodeanDOT x Space4Build

Here's a simple summary of the Polkadot treasury proposal:

- Polkadot wants to make its treasury money grow instead of just keeping it
- The plan is to invest in Polkadot projects that can pay dividends
- Two main projects are Bifrost and Hydration
- The treasury would keep its original money while earning extra income
- This creates a cycle where money keeps coming in over time
- Everything would be managed through Polkadot's voting system
- There are some risks if the projects don't do well
- This could help Polkadot grow stronger in the long run

Here is a summary of the proposal for a new stablecoin called pUSD.

*   A new stablecoin called pUSD is being proposed for the Polkadot network.
*   It would be a Polkadot-native stablecoin, meaning it's created by the network itself.
*   pUSD would be backed only by DOT, the main Polkadot token.
*   People could use their DOT as collateral to borrow pUSD.
*   The Treasury could use pUSD for payments instead of DOT.
*   pUSD holders could earn interest by locking their tokens in a savings module.
*   The proposal suggests using a system called the Honzon protocol to create pUSD.

Should Polkadot Hub have NATIVE pUSD based on the Honzon Protocol?
