Six, a former Ambassador and Head Ambassador for Polkadot, is being recognized for his past work. He helped many people join Polkadot and was a voice of reason during the early days of the new Head Ambassador program. He tried to build consensus and maintain good relationships with everyone. 

The person suggesting this tip thinks Six's contributions are worth recognizing, and they are offering him USDT 20k, which is about half of what others have received for their work in the program. Six also wrote an article about his journey with Polkadot, which you can read here: [Six's Polkadot Journey](https://medium.com/@six_65870/polkadots-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market-7c4849e9842a).

Retroactive Funding Proposal For The Blockspace @Coindesk Consensus 

G2 Esports and Moon-Bearer have submitted a proposal to bring an active community into Polkadot and grow them into engaged, knowledgeable, and frequent users. The partnership aims to redefine "sponsorship" as "onboarding-ship" by offering a fresh and tailored approach that creates real users within the Polkadot ecosystem. The proposal duration is 15 months, from 1.3.2025 to 31.5.2026, and the amount requested is 495,030.0 DOT.

The partnership focuses on the entire user funnel, including attraction, engagement, and retention. It aims to increase awareness, drive genuine usage growth, and turn digital-savvy fans into Polkadot users. The onboarding strategy includes QR-based onboarding, dynamic QR-code activations, smart incentive funnels, gamified learning, and real impact.

Key points of the partnership include:
- Attracting interest through fan-facing activations
- Actively onboarding fans into the Polkadot ecosystem with zero barriers to entry
- Incentivizing fans to continue discovering, deep-diving, and learning more about Polkadot
- Integrating QR codes into fan-facing activations for seamless entry into Polkadot via the Nova Wallet
- Tailoring QR codes to bespoke activations, leading to specific calls to action
- Enhancing fan experiences and building their understanding of Polkadot through Discord
- Earning rewards via the Nova Wallet and engaging with Polkadot
- Transforming G2 fans from non-users to active ecosystem participants and Polkadot enthusiasts

5.65% of the proposal ask will be kept in DOT for minting fees within the Polkadot ecosystem, and any unused amount after the year of partnership will be returned. The partnership aims to deliver continuous touchpoints for one full year, with regular fan interactions, active ecosystem growth, and flexibility in messaging to align with Polkadot's ongoing events.

A proposal has been made to give more money to help the people called "collators" on Polkadot's System Parachains. Collators are important because they help keep the network safe, fair, and fast. They need more money to keep doing their job well as the network grows bigger. The proposal asks for 21,504.94 DOT to help with this. You can find more information about the proposal in a Google Document and in earlier proposals. This proposal is a way to say thank you to the collators for their hard work.

This proposal aims to bring 1 million user wallets to the Polkadot network through ongoing user funnels at strategic Billfold venues. It funds the production of four Bash events in the first half of the year and the placement of Billfold PoS in strategic venues, generating at least 1 million wallets and transactions in 2025. The Polkadot community has trusted PMEI to bring Billfold into the ecosystem, and now they want to drive as much usage to Polkadot as possible through existing and new Billfold users. Every new event attendee at a Billfold venue will get a new Polkadot wallet and be encouraged to transact on the network. PMEI is focused on creating self-sustaining user funnels through new venue partnerships, driving usage to the network through loyalty engagement and facilitating payments. They are not charging an agency fee on this proposal, only covering hard costs.

The partnership includes a technical takeover of Team Vitality's Web3 fan engagement app V.HIVE, standalone Web3 initiatives to acquire new users, and the addition of extra jersey visibility in various games. The financial conditions for the partnership are $3,720,000 USDC over two years, with payment breakdowns and budget split commitments provided. The partnership aims to create a powerful marketing platform, place Polkadot at the heart of Team Vitality's Web3 strategy, and leverage the organization's expertise in esports blockchain.

The Ideal Network (IDN) is a randomness infrastructure for Polkadot's ecosystem. The team, formed during the Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Buenos Aires, includes Juan Girini, Tony Riemer, Carlos Montoya, and Coleman Irby. They are requesting 300,250 USDC over three months to deliver a trustless Drand Bridge, cross-chain randomness delivery infrastructure, a security audit by SRLabs, and network deployment and maintenance.

Polkadot's ecosystem lacks a reliable method for generating frequent, high-quality random values, which is critical for creating fair and secure decentralized applications. The Ideal Network will unlock publicly verifiable randomness for Polkadot's World Computer, introducing a game-changing infrastructure that solves critical blockchain challenges. They are building a trustless bridge to the Drand distributed randomness beacon, enabling a standardized randomness layer that delivers secure, verifiable randomness at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions like Chainlink VRF.

The Ideal Network enables use cases across multiple domains, including secure network consensus and governance, fair DeFi mechanisms, provably random gaming experiences, unbiased and dealer-free gambling, transparent NFT generation, and front-running-resistant transaction pools. Beyond randomness, IDN introduces timelock encryption, a cryptographic mechanism that allows messages to be securely encrypted and revealed only at specific future blocks.

The work done is supported through collaborations with Web3 Foundation, NIST, and the University of Colorado. Several projects have expressed interest in integration, including Asset Hub, Bittensor, ChainSafe, and PolkaStorage.

- A problem happened with AssetHub assets that were supposed to go to a Relay Chain Proxy, making them unavailable.
- A preimage was pulled just before the confirmation period ended to fix this issue.
- You can check that the preimage was pulled through a specific link.
- Pure Proxy Replication is a future solution, but it’s unclear when it will be available.
- Waiting for this solution could mean the assets remain useless for a long time.
- They decided not to submit a main reference for a temporary fix because it could take a long time.
- Your vote can help fix the payout problem more quickly.

Dear Polkadot friends,

I am happy to share that my friends at Modern Market, BCheque, and Legendary are showcasing parts of the Polkadot ecosystem through a limited sponsorship. I tried to get them a 6-month headline sponsorship, but it didn't happen. Now, I help bring Polkadot people to their interviews and support them.

I think I deserve a small finder's fee for introducing this talented team to the ecosystem. The Marketing Bounty people said my introduction made their vetting easy. I asked for a 5% commission, but I was not included in the process. I am asking for a small tip, which is more than reasonable. Thank you for your support!

Best,
Ryan / Phunky
