Head Ambassador Proposal for Polkadot - Georgi #900

This proposal is about getting $1 million to sponsor big meetings and conferences for Polkadot, a digital money project. The goal is to find more money for Polkadot projects. Harbour Industrial Capital will organize these events, but other Polkadot projects and people can join too. They want to include many different speakers and make it open for everyone. 

The proposal is improved from a previous one, Ref 731, and now it is more inclusive and cost-efficient. Harbour Industrial Capital has experience in raising money and investing in Polkadot projects. They believe that having a big fund for Polkadot is important to help projects grow and get more money.

Family offices, which are rich investment groups, are a good way to bring more money into Polkadot. Harbour Industrial Capital can help these family offices invest in Polkadot projects easily. They also want to include other Polkadot projects, leaders, and funds in these events.

The budget for this plan is about $1 million, and they plan to organize around 20 events in two years. The money will be used to pay for event sponsorships and other costs. You can read the full proposal by clicking on the link provided.

Kampela Productizing Proposal, Redux

- This proposal asks if we should add smart contracts to Polkadot's Asset Hub system by the end of 2024.
- It would use new technology called PolkaVM and a tool to make Ethereum contracts work on Polkadot.
- Adding smart contracts would make it easier and faster to work with assets on Polkadot.
- It would also let developers use Solidity, a popular programming language for smart contracts.
- This could make Polkadot more attractive to developers and businesses.
- However, it might make Asset Hub more complex and could compete with other Polkadot parachains.
- The community will need to help with tools, marketing, and education to make this successful.

Parity proposes adding a smart contract execution environment to Polkadot's Asset Hub parachain, allowing synchronous and permissionless interactions with assets. The proposed solution will be based on pallet-contracts, PolkaVM, and an EVM to PolkaVM recompiler for Solidity/EVM compatibility. The deployment is targeted by the end of 2024. Parity will provide the core technology, but the community is needed for tooling and integration, marketing, communication, education, and liquidity from Ethereum. The first milestone is planned to be rolled out at the end of this year.

Should we allow EVM compatible contracts on Asset Hub?
