Mimir is a multisig solution for Polkadot ecosystem users, including enterprises, DAOs, and large asset holders. They have a proposal to improve the platform with four key innovations:

1. Call Templates: These templates make it easier to do common tasks by reducing the need for manual data input.
2. Omni UX: This feature allows users to manage multi-sig accounts across different parachains, making it easier to use across the Polkadot network.
3. Mimir PAPI SDK: This software development kit helps more applications use multisig and proxy users, making it easier for developers to connect with Mimir.
4. Proposer & Multisig API: This allows businesses and DAOs to use multi-sig approval processes in their internal operations, like budgeting and decision-making.

Mimir already has over 2,000 users and is growing in the Polkadot ecosystem. They aim to become the standard for multisig operations in Polkadot.

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.

NFTMozaic is starting a new program to help early-stage projects create NFT apps on Polkadot. They will give money to about 20 projects to make simple, user-friendly apps that people can use. The projects need to focus on getting people to use their apps, like making wallets and doing things on the blockchain. The projects should be about things like games, entertainment, or using NFTs for businesses, not just art or collectibles. The NFTMozaic Council and a special team will choose the projects and make sure they follow the rules. The projects need to show how their app will be good for users and how it can grow if it becomes popular.

Dear members,

Our **current [voting policy v0.2](https://docs.permanence.io/voting_policy/voting_policy_v0.2.html) defines the conflict of interest (CoI) terms as applying to core members only**. Please refer to the linked document for details. This internal referendum, in line with our internal discussion, proposes **extending this policy to community members**.

The rationale behind this proposal is that, **at 10 core members and 2 community members**, we still **haven't reached the size where members have enough freedom to critique each other's proposals without being prone to positive bias. Therefore, the DV delegation should be recused from voting on community members' proposals as well.**

As a note, our HQ account will remain eligible to vote on these proposals, as defined in the current policy.

We should revisit this policy once we reach the critical mass where internal evaluation is less prone to any kind of bias.

Kind regards,
kukabi | Helikon
