**Subsquid Labs Q4 2024 Funding Request**

**Summary:**
- **Goal:** Request $164,840.20 for maintaining public SQD Archives for Polkadot and parachains in Q4 2024.
- **Who:** Subsquid Lab Official (based in Zug, Switzerland).
- **Why:** Public archives are essential free infrastructure for developers, wallets, and parachains.
- **Changes:** Reduced costs by using community-aligned engineering rates ($27/hour instead of $100/hour).

**Key Points:**
- Public archives help developers access blockchain data without running their own servers.
- Used by projects like Talisman, Polkassembly, and RMRK.
- In Q4 2024, archives grew to 11.68 TiB of data and served over 2.3 million requests.
- Funding covers only public services, not commercial products.
- Engineering costs were lowered to meet community expectations.

**Cost Breakdown:**
- Most costs are for cloud services (like Google Cloud and OVHCloud).
- Engineering and maintenance costs were reduced to $14,009.76.
- Total request is $164,840.20, down $143,863.80 from the previous proposal.

**Conclusion:**
- Work is already done; seeking retroactive funding.
- Supports free, reliable data access for the Polkadot ecosystem.

JAMTON is a special connection that helps two big systems, TON and Polkadot, talk to each other. TON has many users from Telegram, and Polkadot has lots of cool projects. JAMTON makes it easy for them to work together.

JAMTON is like a door that lets people from TON and Telegram join the Polkadot world. This helps Polkadot grow bigger and better because more people can use it.

JAMTON has some big plans:
1. It will make it easy for TON users to join Polkadot.
2. It will bring more money into Polkadot projects.
3. It will build a place where people can trade things without a middleman.
4. It will make it easy for projects to work with JAMTON using a special wallet.

The Polkadot Community Foundation has proposed a plan to launch a "Polkadot" branded payment card for the Polkadot ecosystem. This non-custodial payment card will be issued globally and work anywhere Visa is accepted. It will be compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and users will only pay a small transaction fee (under 1%). The card will be powered by smart contracts and allow users to hold and pay with USDC. The Polkadot Community Foundation has chosen Baanx as the card provider and issuer, and the card program will be managed by CL, a brand of Baanx. The card will be a debit card using the Visa network and will carry no other branding. There will be no cost to the Polkadot Treasury for the origination and setup of this card program. The card program aims to provide an alternative to traditional banking and increase the usability of the Polkadot ecosystem for payments and DeFi.

This proposal is about fixing two problems with bounties on Polkadot.

1. Curators were removed from some active bounties by mistake. This let someone else remove them with mean comments. The proposal wants to put the original curators back for three bounties:
   - Open Source Developer Grants Program (Bounty 59)
   - Games Bounty (Bounty 38)
   - Polkadot Pioneers Prize (Bounty 10)
   
   The teams working on these bounties agree with this change. In the future, a new update will let bounties last forever, so curators won't need to renew their role.

2. The proposal also wants to clean up some bounties that are not active anymore. These bounties will be closed because they have been inactive, don't have enough money, or don't have enough information. The bounties to close are:
   - Bounty 42
   - Bounty 60
   - Bounty 61
   - Bounty 65
   - Bounty 66
   - Bounty 68

dAppForge is a project that aims to help developers build better decentralized applications (dApps), appchains, and parachains on the Polkadot network. They have completed three out of four milestones for their dAppForge V1.0. Here are the main points of their fourth and final milestone:

1. Improve the knowledge graphs for Solidity and Substrate, with a focus on Solidity and Foundry integration.
2. Integrate Polkadot Hub (AssetHub) documentation to help developers deploy Solidity smart contracts on AssetHub.
3. Benchmark Solidity performance using SolEval and compare it with other AI models.
4. Develop an API to allow developers to use the AI outside the plugin environment, like in bots for Discord/Telegram.

dAppForge's goal is to make it easier for developers to build on Polkadot and attract new developers to the ecosystem. They have a VS Code plugin that supports code generation and autocompletion for Solidity, Substrate, ink!, and Rust. This plugin helps developers understand the code better and build faster.

Gossamer is a team that works on Polkadot Relay Chain Validator using the Go programming language. They want to make the network better by being a full node and a validator node. They are asking for money to keep working on their project for six months. They will focus on building alternative implementations of Polkadot validator, JAM implementation, and improving Collator functionality. Gossamer has received funding before and they want to keep helping the Polkadot ecosystem grow. They will share updates on their progress every month.

The Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) is a bridge between the Polkadot network's on-chain governance and real-world actions. It helps DOT holders influence off-chain activities. In its first year, the PCF worked on projects to grow the Polkadot ecosystem and market outreach. Now, it asks for more funding to continue its work.

The PCF has goals for its second year, like appointing two DOT directors and creating a transparent information hub. It wants to expand leadership and community engagement. The PCF also needs money for legal and insurance costs.

If the proposal is not approved, the PCF will have to wind down its operations, which could cause disruptions to ongoing projects and the need to find new ways to manage off-chain activities.

In conclusion, the PCF wants to continue helping the Polkadot ecosystem grow by connecting on-chain governance with real-world actions. Approving more funding will allow the PCF to keep doing this important work.
