SHITTY PROPOSAL SORRY 

The ED proposal is a plan to distribute DED tokens to DOT holders. It was created by Ramsey from Decentration.org. They want to give out Existential Deposits (EDs) to everyone who gets DED tokens. They asked for 31,200 DOT to make this happen.

But, the DOTisDED team changed their minds. They now want to use a DED Bounty Fund instead of this proposal. The community also agreed with this change, which led to Referendum #556.

The person who made the proposal thinks that using a DED Bounty Fund will give DED a better chance of success. They believe that trying to make a very valuable token with a small budget is not a good idea. So, they decided to cancel this proposal and let the DED Bounty Fund happen instead.

WHO: DED Tech Midwife (part of DOTisDED team)

WHAT: Proposal for funding the distribution of Existential Deposits (EDs) to all DED recipients + fees and technical value provided.

PRICE/TIMEFRAME/RESOURCES: Requested DOT: 31,200. Version 0.2.1. However, the proposal has been cancelled in favor of a DED Bounty Fund.

Talisman Unified Retroactive Proposal #2

The OpenGov Community Voting Discord Bot project did not have enough money and was too hard to make. The person who made it got paid very little money for their work. Now, there is a new program called Decentralized Voices that helps people in the Polkadot community make decisions together.

They want the Polkadot community to give them more money so they can make the bot better and help more people.

WHO: The author of the proposal. 

WHAT: The proposal seeks to address the previous funding gap and to expedite the completion of pending features from the initial proposal.
