Polkassembly Social Contract 2024

This proposal is about helping Polkadot's DeFi ecosystem grow by fixing two big problems: not having enough infrastructure and tooling. Infrastructure is like the foundation that supports the whole system, and tooling are the tools people use to build and use the system. 

Right now, it's hard for new teams and users to join Polkadot because it's not easy to get the money and tools they need. Also, teams are not sure how to get money for their ideas, and sometimes they don't fix the right problems. 

The people who made this proposal want to bring in more builders and infrastructure providers by creating a group of experts. This group will give clear instructions on what to build, check if the work is done well, and give money from the treasury if the work is successful. 

The group will be made up of people from different teams, like Velocity Labs, Moonbeam, Acala, and more. They will help make sure the right things get built and the money is spent in the right way.

Polkadot recently updated to version 0.8.28. In this update, there was a change in the "apply" function. The second part of the function, called "CandidacyBond," was supposed to be 100 DOT, but it was changed to 1 DOT by mistake. This caused some accounts to only have 1 DOT unreserved instead of 100 DOT. To fix this, a proposal was made to use "Balances::force_unreserve" to correct the amounts for the two affected accounts. More information can be found in the linked issue.
