Bastian Köcher is a rank 6 member of the Fellowship. Here are some key points about his work and responsibilities:

- Members at rank 6 must ask to keep their rank every 6 months.
- There are no rank 8+ members to vote for Bastian, so he needs support from all token holders for approval.
- He is focused on making it faster to process blocks for parachains on Polkadot, aiming for every 500 milliseconds.
- Bastian is working on allowing proxies to be used across different chains, which is currently limited.
- He wrote a guide to help people replicate pure proxies between chains.
- Bastian has addressed issues with runtime upgrades that can cause performance problems.
- He actively participates in discussions to help others and maintains the Fellowship runtimes repository.

[Small Spender] Namaste Polkadot: Education and community for Polkadot India (#1449)

This proposal is about getting money from the community's treasury to buy special computer equipment. This will help everyone in the community who has tokens to use a powerful AI language model. 

Key Points:

- Community members with tokens will have special access to the AI, encouraging them to keep their tokens longer.
- This AI will be open to all, not just big companies, promoting fairness and openness.
- Users can use the AI for tasks like writing, programming help, and research.
- Some services from the AI can be sold to others, helping the community earn money.
- As more people want to use the AI, more people will want to buy and stake tokens.
- Developers can use AI tools to improve their work and help create better projects.
- This project will help the community stand out from others using AI in the blockchain space.

The proposal aims to make everyone in the community more empowered and innovative with AI tools.

Subsquid Lab is asking for money to keep their public SQD Archives running. These archives help people find information on the Polkadot and Kusama networks. They want $264,838.09 to cover their costs. Here's what they did in the past few months:

1. They helped make the SQD Archives better by adding more storage and making it faster.
2. They launched the SQD mainnet, which helps make the Polkadot network more secure and faster.
3. They made it easier for developers to use their tools by adding new features to the Squid SDK.
4. They improved their Cloud API to help developers build better apps.

In the second quarter of 2024, they provided a lot of data and helped many people in the Polkadot community. They need money to keep doing this work.

- An attacker added their key to a new sudo key, freezing all PARA funds.
- The attacker can’t send transactions but has started unbonding on six accounts.
- This puts 200,000 DOT at risk, and quick action is needed.
- Referenda 1424 has been submitted to solve this issue.
- A rebond call will be made to restake the DOT, giving an extra 28 days for Referenda 1424.
- Several addresses are designated for rebonding DOT.
- A link with additional information is provided.

- Centrifuge is planning to create a new version called Centrifuge V3.
- This new version will be based on an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and work across multiple blockchains.
- The goal is to grow the Real World Asset (RWA) market and improve the way assets and investors connect in DeFi (Decentralized Finance).
- If approved, Centrifuge V3 will change from using Polkadot to this new EVM-based system.
- The Polkadot Community Foundation is holding back funds until they are sure Centrifuge will continue to exist on its platform.
- Future choices about where Centrifuge operates will depend on the results of discussions and proposals related to this new version.

Polkadot DeFi Singularity

PYOR is a company that wants to make a tool called PolkaPulse. PolkaPulse is a dashboard that will help people see and understand what is happening in the world of DeFi (decentralized finance) on a network called Polkadot. They want to get money to build this dashboard.

PolkaPulse will show two types of information:
1. General information that helps people compare different parts of the network quickly.
2. Detailed information that helps people understand what is happening in each part of the network.

The dashboard will help people who already use DeFi and those who are new to it. It will make it easier for everyone to see what is happening and make decisions based on that information.

PYOR wants to build this dashboard in 5 months and they need $78,000 to do it. They have talked to many people in the community to make sure this is something that people want and need.

The dashboard will show information about different parts of the network, like how much money is being traded, how many people are using it, and how much it is growing. It will also show information about different DeFi projects and how they are doing.

PYOR wants to make sure that the dashboard is easy to use and that it shows the information in a way that is easy to understand. They are asking for feedback from the community to make sure they are building something that people will find useful.

PolkaPulse: DeFi Dashboard for Polkadot Parachains

- This change increases the scheduler lookahead value to 3.
- The scheduler lookahead shows which parachains will be used soon.
- Currently, it is set to 2, showing only two blocks ahead.
- There is a difference because other parameters use three blocks.
- The async backing can accept candidates based on three blocks.
- Making the scheduler lookahead 3 will fix this difference.
- Similar changes have already been made in Kusama.

WAGOI is a new app that will help car owners control their own car data. Most cars today are connected, but drivers don't have control over their data. Car makers make money from this data, and it's a big market worth $750 billion. Soon, new rules in the European Union will say that people must have access to their car data, which is a big chance for WAGOI.

WAGOI will use a special technology called blockchain to make sure car data is safe and can't be changed. It will work with rules like the EU Data Act and GDPR to make sure everything is done the right way. WAGOI will be the first app like this on the Polkadot Hub, which is a place for new apps.

WAGOI is good for Polkadot because it follows EU rules, which will make people trust it more. It will also make a lot of value for drivers and others in the car world. WAGOI is working with big car companies, which will help more people use Polkadot's technology.

People should support WAGOI because it will change the car data market and give control back to drivers. It will also help Polkadot be more popular in the car and mobility world. WAGOI's plan and budget are in a big document, but it's important to read because it talks about how the new rules will help WAGOI's business.

WAGOI is a big part of the car world and works with other groups like FISITA, INATBA, and MyData. The founder, Mario Schraepen, has a lot of experience in cars and blockchain, which will help WAGOI be successful. WAGOI wants to show that blockchain can be used for real-world problems, not just for making money. The new rules in the EU will help WAGOI take advantage of this chance.

The OG Rust Bounty Referendum proposes five curators for a project initiated by Ref #1377. These curators are Valery Gantchev, Jakub Panik, Bastian Köcher, Donal Murray, and 0xTaylor. They will be responsible for managing the project and are expected to work at least 0.2 full-time equivalent hours per month. In return, they will receive a monthly payment of $3000 in DOT. Fellowship members can choose to do this work as part of their duties, in which case they will not receive full payment. For more details, see the original proposal.

3. Polkadot Smart Contract Campaign: Focused on blockchain development using the Polkadot SDK.
4. Smart Contract Development Campaign: Encouraging developers to build with the Polkadot SDK.

The proposal's goals are to:

1. Show that Polkadot can do more than just parachains.
2. Help developers build important decentralized apps (dApps) on Polkadot.
3. Make Polkadot a big part of the global blockchain and tech world.
