PolkaBiz is an important part of the Polkadot ecosystem. They help new businesses and people who want to start their own projects. They give advice and support to make sure these projects are successful. In 2025, PolkaBiz wants to get more funding to keep helping people and make Polkadot a great place for new ideas.

PolkaBiz finds and helps new businesses that have a lot of potential. They have already looked at more than 100 businesses this year. They want to give people who want to start their own businesses a chance to show what they can do. Their program helps businesses grow and also teaches students in special programs.

PolkaBiz thinks that many people who start new businesses in the Web3 world don't know enough about business strategies. This can lead to bad decisions. PolkaBiz helps fill this gap and make sure businesses can succeed.

People who work with PolkaBiz say good things about them. They help a lot of teams and make sure they are ready for the next steps. They work hard to help businesses and students. They want to keep working with PolkaBiz to help more people.

MinIO is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage that can be used on public clouds, Kubernetes, private clouds, and the edge. Acurast, a decentralized verifiable compute network powered by phones, is partnering with MinIO to provide decentralized storage for Polkadot-native projects and enterprises. The main goal of this partnership is to create an MVP integration of MinIO in Acurast's decentralized compute environment, allowing developers to access MinIO through Acurast's native P2P layer. This will include creating storage buckets, configurable access control, benchmarking replications and costs, and providing detailed developer documentation and examples. Acurast's network uses billions of smartphones to run secure applications on decentralized infrastructure without compromising speed or privacy.

Polkadot had a problem with its software update, which stopped three staking accounts from getting rewards. A proposal has been made to give these accounts the rewards they missed out on. The proposal looks at how much money was in the accounts when the rewards stopped, how many times they didn't get rewards, and how much the rewards would have been worth during that time. Here are the details for each account:

1. Account 138fZsNu67JFtiiWc1eWK2Ev5jCYT6ZirZM288tf99CUHk8K:
   - Last reward: Era 1400
   - Last balance: 8,556 DOT
   - Missed rewards: 197 eras
   - Average yearly reward: 17.18%
   - Missing rewards: 1,603.46 DOT

2. Account 15bt67qghz8hJxCUPgAXmzVxUBHLpPN41RVm2nwMFyLWByVE:
   - Last reward: Era 1646
   - Last balance: 4,261 DOT
   - Missed rewards: 37 eras
   - Average yearly reward: 12.93%
   - Missing rewards: 587.11 DOT

3. Account 12gmcL9eej9jRBFT26vZLF4b7aAe4P9aEYHGHFzJdmf5arPi:

The JAM Whitelist Role Authorizer is a project that uses the JAM SDK to create a role-based and whitelist authorization system. It is a contribution to the Polkadot open source ecosystem and shows the potential of the JAM SDK for developing practical and scalable solutions. The project allows managing authorized addresses, assigning roles (administrator, participant, observer), and running an interactive game where participants answer questions under supervision. The system ensures that only authorized addresses can perform specific actions, ensuring transparency and security in decentralized environments. The repository's resources are available in both English and Spanish, making it easy to use and understand for a global audience of developers.

The project uses several JAM SDK components, including jam-types, jam-pvm-common, jam-bootstrap-service, jam-null-authorizer, and jam-pvm-build. It demonstrates how to effectively integrate and use the JAM SDK and serves as a practical example for other developers wishing to build similar services. The project encourages the adoption of the JAM SDK by providing a real, easily adaptable use case for other functional services and offers a modular and extensible solution that can adapt to various authorization scenarios in decentralized applications. Guidance documentation is available in multiple languages.

The execution workflow includes assigning roles to participants, viewing the main menu, selecting options for admin validation, participant validation, observer validation, and verification of user roles and identification vectors. The project also suggests potential applications in the Polkadot Blockchain Academy and connection with video games like DOOM executed in JAM.
