Epico: Ethereum Wallet Compatibility for Polkadot SDK Chains

A proposal called Ref 703 was made to get money for a project, but the people who asked for the money missed the chance to get it. They made a new proposal to fix this problem and get the money they were supposed to get. They already did the project, which was a big success. They want to make sure they get the money they were promised, and they are asking for help to fix this mistake.

Polkadot aims to become a top 5 blockchain by increasing real-world usage, developer adoption, and global brand visibility. They propose an on-chain fan engagement platform with Inter Miami CF (IMCF) to achieve this. The platform will include free-to-play trivia, rewards, social media incentives, and educational content for IMCF's global soccer audience.

Key points:
- The initiative will drive wallet creation, on-chain transactions, and developer engagement.
- New crypto users will be onboarded through a simple, free-to-play environment.
- A cross-functional team of experts will ensure enterprise-grade execution.
- The platform's architecture is designed with U.S. and international regulations in mind.
- Milestone-based funding in stablecoins will be put to community votes for disbursement.

The solution includes:
1. Free-to-play trivia games with no-value tokens and on-chain transparency.
2. A rewards platform and loyalty program with points and redeemable perks.
3. Social rewards integration with automated engagement tracking.
4. Gamified educational content for learning about Polkadot.

The technical architecture will be based on Polkadot parachain infrastructure, with a scalable questions engine, regulatory compliance, and user-friendly front-end access.

Milestone 1 funding request is $300,000 for May 2025, and Milestone 2 funding request is $200,000 for June 2025. Each milestone requires a community governance vote and successful completion of deliverables.

The expected outcomes for Polkadot include accelerated adoption, mainstream visibility, expanded developer ecosystem, and a scalable model for Major League Soccer-wide expansion. Governance and community engagement will be ensured through milestone-based votes, transparent reporting, community calls, and demos.

Milestone 1 - Accelerating Polkadot Adoption via Inter Miami CF Fan Engagement

W3PI Token Index is a new type of Programmable Index Product (PIP) built on Polkadot. It combines decentralized asset exposure, legal protection for users, and upgradeable smart contract logic. W3PI will be the first decentralized non-custodial on-chain index token that tracks a dynamic basket of ecosystem tokens using programmable, transparent rules. The project includes smart contract and front-end development, setup of a Swiss GmbH, and incorporation of a Swiss Trust to own the protocol and hold user funds separately from any private entity.

The bounty is divided into three categories: Technical Development ($78,000), Operational GmbH ($56,000), and Swiss Trust ($52,000 for setup and $16,000 for endowment), totaling $202,000 USD (DOT equivalent). The curator will verify code deployments, audits, and GitHub releases, confirm legal documents, and trigger milestone payments based on proof of delivery. The governance and ownership model includes upgradeable smart contracts with ownership held by a Swiss Trust, protecting user funds from any private entity. The GmbH receives fees only from the protocol fee wallet, and all code will be open-source. Licensing will be MIT or Apache 2.0 for code, and legal documents will be available through links. The estimated completion timeline is 9-12 months.

A referendum has been proposed to allocate 500 DOT from the treasury to establish a Community Building Fund for Bend-PVM, a smart contract language optimized for PolkaVM. The goal is to expand the contributor base and foster an active developer ecosystem. The funds will be used for contributor rewards, hackathons, coding challenges, bug bounties, educational resources, and workshops. The allocation is as follows: 60% for direct contributor rewards, 20% for community hackathons and challenges, 15% for educational content and workshops, and 5% for administration and fund management. The community-driven approach aims to distribute knowledge, accelerate innovation, grow the ecosystem, and ensure sustainable development. Expected outcomes include increasing active contributors, hosting educational workshops, completing hackathons, and establishing a transparent contribution tracking system. All fund distributions will be publicly recorded and verified through a multi-signature account, with monthly reports detailing expenditures and progress. This approach is expected to accelerate development, create a pipeline of skilled developers, strengthen Polkadot's position, and demonstrate the effectiveness of treasury funds in fostering innovation.

EasyA, a Web3 education app, has successfully completed Milestone 2 in their #360DaysOfPolkadot campaign, which aimed to educate and engage developers in the Polkadot ecosystem. They partnered with Parity and Web3 Foundation to update Polkadot content in their app and hosted hackathons at Harvard and London. The campaign inspired an a16z-backed startup, Axal, to build on Polkadot. Key highlights include:

- Over 1 million users on the EasyA app
- 700 developers participated in hackathons
- 126 projects were launched
- 137,000 developers started the in-app crash course
- Social media impressions reached over 14 million

The campaign also met or exceeded all key performance indicators, including the number of developers starting and completing the crash course, hackathon attendees, and hackathon projects. EasyA is now focusing on supporting developers to continue building on Polkadot and is working with the ecosystem to set up Polkadot Fast-Grants for funding.

RISC-V is gaining popularity in the decentralized internet, and Polkadot is already using it for its virtual machines. The first line of smart home devices built on RISC-V and integrated with Polkadot is being launched, with real hardware products and open-source firmware available on GitHub. A public kick-start campaign on IndieGoGo will test market interest in these web3-native, open-source, user-first solutions.

The campaign will launch three interconnected devices:
1. Altruist: an air quality sensor that publishes data to a decentralized map.
2. DevBoard Hikikomori: a developer-focused micro-controller dev board built on RISC-V, designed for engineers from both embedded and Web3 worlds.
3. RISC-V Smart Home Server: a server that unites open hardware, open connectivity, and open cloud, enabling control over smart devices without centralized cloud platforms.

The proposed budget includes funds for the Robonomics Creative Team, advertising and outreach, influencer engagement, and an independent code audit. The campaign aims to demonstrate a future rooted in transparency, decentralization, and open technology, and to lay the foundation for a long-term open ecosystem of devices, tools, and services.
