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

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.

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.

The Treasury Proposal is about a collaboration between Mubert Protocol and Pudgy Penguins, powered by Polkadot. Mubert Protocol is building the first data rollup on Polkadot, focusing on streaming and consumable data like AI-generated music. They want to work with Pudgy Penguins, a popular Web3 brand, to host events and increase Polkadot's visibility. 

The main goal is to bring new users to the Polkadot ecosystem through real-world events, AI-driven music, and Web3 culture. They plan to have AI music DJ sets, on-chain music experiences, and community activations in different countries. This will help Polkadot reach a younger audience and show its connection to real-world experiences.

This proposal is supported by the Web3 Foundation, SubWallet, and Mythical Games. It will help grow the Polkadot ecosystem, change its narrative, and bring more users and partners to the network. The events will also help Polkadot connect with other chains and mainstream audiences.

The RegionX Hub is a platform that has received positive feedback and requests for improvements. This proposal aims to fund the development of features and improvements to enhance the value of the hub. The proposal focuses on creating an easy-to-use interface for managing Coretime for projects and addressing confusion about the Agile Coretime model. The hub identifies four types of users: existing teams with Polkadot projects, new project teams, Coretime resellers, and enthusiasts. The proposal includes creating user-specific dashboards and help centers, as well as other features like urgent renewals, auto-renewals, and improved transaction status tracking. Development progress can be monitored on the public GitHub repository, and results will be visible on the RegionX Hub website.

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.

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.

- Instead, the idea is to lock some staking rewards so they can’t be sold right away.  
- Locked tokens can still be used for staking or voting.

This is a redo of proposal [1510](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1510). There was an oversight on my side on the call. It was using a double wrapped `DispatchWhitelistedCallWithPreImage` call and that was wrong. The outer call was whitelisted by the fellowship, but not the inner call. Thus, the execution on chain failed.

This proposal is exactly the same as the old one, but without the "double wrap".

Kusama AssetHub has registered several assets with Polkadot Assethub as the owner. These assets include popular tokens like Ether (ETH), Wrapped Ether (WETH), Tether USD (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and many others. The plan is to support bridging ERC-20 tokens from Ethereum to Kusama by using a double bridging process through Polkadot. A test demonstrating this process can be found on GitHub.

This proposal is about changing the target for coretime sales in the Kusama ecosystem. The main idea is to adjust the "ideal_bulk_proportion" parameter from 100% to 40%. This change will help coretime prices be more realistic and benefit the Kusama ecosystem. The main use of KSM is to pay for coretime, but the current prices are very low, which is not good for the system. By making this change, we can find the true value of coretime and keep the current inflation rate that supports validator operations. This is just a starting point, and the parameter can be adjusted in the future based on how the market responds and the needs of the ecosystem.

- Anti-correlation attack mitigations, like fixed deposit amounts and batch payouts for withdrawals.
- Interoperability to receive assets from any Kusama-connected parachain.
- Open-source delivery of all code and documentation.

There are three milestones:
1. Initial Pools & Basic UI: $16,200, 1 month.
2. UI + XCM: $9,900, 1 month.
3. Mainnet Deployment: $16,900, 1-1.5 months.

The finder's fee is set aside to find the right implementor and is paid out at the time of team engagement. Teams that submit themselves can collect their own finder's fee at the completion of the project.
