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.

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.

Polkadot Advertising Campaign on Brave Browser - Top-Up Request 

Our team just finished a big project that cost 250,000 and we almost ran out of money. We think we should always have at least 500,000 to make sure we can keep working on marketing. We want to spend more money on marketing in the future to get more people to know about us. We also want to work with big airports in important cities, but we need to pay them many months in advance. So, we need to have some extra money saved up. We are asking for 500,000 more. You can see all our spending and work at this link: https://bit.ly/m/reports

Open HRMP Channels between AssetHub and Mythos

The P<>K bridge is a system that connects different blockchains and charges user fees. It pays rewards to people who help it work, called "relayer rewards." These rewards are a big part of the bridge's costs. To start, the bridge needs some money to begin working. They suggest giving 10100 DOT and 2030 KSM to the bridge's accounts. This money will help the bridge get started. As the bridge works, it will make enough money from user fees to pay for the rewards. Any extra money will go back to the treasury. You can find more details about the bridge's accounts and money here: https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/issues/238. The bridge has already been approved by a group called https://collectives.subsquare.io/fellowship/referenda/88.
