Ink! Analyzer is a tool created by David Semakula that helps analyze ink! smart contracts. It is like rust-analyzer but for ink!, which is a language for making smart contracts. The analyzer helps with understanding the rules of ink! contracts and gives useful features for editing them. It works with many different tools, like Visual Studio Code, and can be used to add ink! support to other tools too.

David is asking for money to update ink! Analyzer so it can work with the newest version of ink!, called ink! v5. He wants to make it better and faster, and also write instructions for people to use it. He has already gotten money from the Web3 Foundation to work on ink! Analyzer before, but he thinks it's time to get money from the treasury instead. David is a software engineer with a lot of experience and has also helped with rust-analyzer and ink! in the past.

WHO: David Semakula, creator of ink! analyzer.
WHAT: Requests retroactive funding of $26,500 for adding ink! v5 support to ink! analyzer.
TIMEFRAME: Not specified.
RESOURCES: ink! analyzer, modular and reusable libraries and tools for semantic analysis of ink! smart contracts.

- Polkadot's social media was first managed by one group called Parity.
- Now, many people help manage it, including a group called the Editorial Board (EB) with 7 members.
- The EB members are experts in different areas like marketing and content creation.
- They work for 6 months, and later, community members will vote for new ones.
- The EB aims to improve how Polkadot communicates with everyone.
- There is funding for the EB, and one member decided not to take payment.
- The Auxiliary helps the EB but will only be paid back for one small expense.

The Social Media Editorial Board (EB) will manage Polkadot's social media accounts. The W3F has delegated access to the EB via Evan (ET Public). Evan received a Decentralized Futures grant to create, setup, run and ensure the success of the concept. The requested allocation is 9426 ($90K EMA7 Price: $9.548) + 42 DOT for multisig creation and identity verification reimbursement to the proposer. The funds will be paid to a multisig controlled by all 7 members + the Auxiliary. The funds will then be distributed to 6 of the 7 EB members.

This proposal is about getting money to make weekly reports for Polkadot's P2P network. The ProbeLab team, which has worked with Protocol Labs for a long time, will make these reports. They have a lot of experience with libp2p and have helped it a lot.

The team collects data using a tool called Nebula Crawler. The reports will show how the network is doing and can be found on their website, probelab.io. The money for this project will be given by the Open Impact Foundation, which wants to help ProbeLab make the network better for Polkadot.

The ProbeLab team has been working on this for over a year and has paid for everything so far. They need help from the Polkadot community to keep doing this work. The cost for the reports is $20,000 to set up and $2,500 per month (or $30,000 per year). This money will be used to run the website, update the tools, and have an expert check the results every week. They will also post the reports on the Polkadot forum.

If you have any questions, you can ask @yiannisbot or contact ProbeLab through their website. The Open Impact Foundation is a charity that helps with digital public goods and supports libp2p.

ProbeLab seeks funding to create and publish weekly reports for Polkadot's P2P network. The cost includes a one-off setup fee of $20k and a monthly cost of $2.5k, covering infrastructure, maintenance, and expert inspection. The reports will be facilitated through the Open Impact Foundation.

- A bridge called P<>K charges users fees but needs to pay relayers from different accounts.
- To start, it needs 10,000 DOT and 2,000 KSM from the treasury to help it run.

- If the current plan is not approved, the bridge's launch will be delayed.
- A person named Polkadot Fellow will manage the funds initially.
- There's a backup plan to create a new proposal if this plan doesn't work.

Pinkdrop: Powering User Engagement and Ecosystem Growth

The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app is a proposal to create an educational resource for Polkadot and blockchain technologies in the local language, focusing on Ethiopia and Africa. The app aims to address the lack of representation and educational resources in Amharic, which is a barrier to Polkadot's growth in Ethiopia. The app will provide structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support to help users learn about blockchain technology.

The problem is that Polkadot needs more recognition compared to its competitors like Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Cardano. Ethiopia has started to adopt blockchain technology, but there is a lack of educational resources in Amharic. The proposal suggests that the AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app will help fill this gap and empower individuals to understand and contribute to the Polkadot ecosystem.

The app will track progress effectively through assessments, user feedback mechanisms, and measurable skill development features. It will have a positive impact on the Polkadot community by contributing to diversity, knowledge contribution, and global accessibility. The proposal includes a scope of work that covers platform development, content creation, testing and optimization, community engagement, marketing and promotion, and documentation and reporting.

The proposal has a proven track record in app development, education technology, and team management, and is an official partner with Microsoft Startup Founder Hub. The cost, budget, justification, resources, and teams are detailed in the documentation.
