[MS] DOT #1499 - Retroactive Funding Proposal: Bounty Manager V2.0

**To the members of Permanence DAO and the wider Polkadot community,**

This public internal referendum proposes to make it **mandatory** for the complete suite of **community- and user-facing software** produced by Permanence DAO to be **developed and maintained as open-source** throughout both the development and release cycles. This is to ensure:

1. **The protection of the community and users** through open and auditable codebases.
2. **Alignment with the ethos of free software, Web3, and cypherpunk values.**
3. **Open access to the knowledge embedded in the code** for any interested developer.

This mandate applies to, but is not limited to:

1. **Chat bots**
2. **Voting automation infrastructure**
3. **Websites**
4. **User-facing software products**

**Current set of tools** developed by the DAO members and used by the DAO are **fully open-source**:

1. **Opensquare** ([Link](https://voting.opensquare.io/space/permanence), [GitHub](https://github.com/opensquare-network/collaboration))
2. **Telegram bot and supporting services** ([GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-services))
3. **Website** ([Link](https://permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-web))
4. **Documentation site** ([Link](https://docs.permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-docs))

All **future software development** is to be carried out in a repository under the DAO’s **official GitHub organisation**, currently at [https://github.com/permanence-dao](https://github.com/permanence-dao).

A **separate proposal** will be submitted to determine the specific **licence types** (e.g. MIT, Apache 2.0, or GPLv3) to be applied to different use cases.

As usual, **members are expected to provide rationale for their votes**.

[INT] PDAO #2 - Mandate for Open-Source Development

**Dear members of Permanence DAO,**

This internal referendum proposes a **mandate** that **voting members of Permanence DAO be prohibited from voting in any other Decentralized Voices-delegated DAO or group** throughout **Cohort IV**. This mandate shall remain in effect for **any subsequent cohort** in which Permanence DAO is delegated by the Web3 Foundation.

**Any member with sufficient evidence** of another member cross-voting, as described above, may post an internal referendum for the **demotion** of the violating member from **voting member to general membership**, effectively **removing their voting rights** within Permanence DAO. A **simple majority with 80% participation** shall be required for the decision.

The rationale behind this proposal is twofold:

1. **Cross-voting across DV-delegated DAOs provides disproportionate voting power** to individuals. Several proponent and non-proponent community members have recently raised concerns about the undesired consequences of this situation.

2. **Cross-voting and cross-influence prevent unique DAO policies and characteristics from emerging.** This undermines the **diversity and richness of contributions, philosophies, and cultures** that are expected to emerge from DAOs in the Polkadot ecosystem.

The mandate described in this proposal was **implicitly agreed upon** by members present at the **weekly DAO call on the 11th of April, 2025**. This referendum now seeks **explicit consensus** on the matter and **the inclusion of the mandate in the DAO’s formal documents.**

This proposal by no means aims to stifle **dialogue between DAOs or the cross-pollination of ideas**. Permanence DAO supports **inter-DAO communication and cultural exchange**, and members are encouraged to take part in discussions across various dialogue channels of different DAOs.

**Please vote at your convenience. Members and the wider community are welcome to suggest additions or amendments.**

**Kind regards.**

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.

AI Summary:

This proposal seeks $62,900 to execute a comprehensive, year-long initiative to increase developer education and adoption of Polkadot in Nigeria, focusing on smart contract development using Rust and Ink! The program, led by Abdulkareem Oyeneye and a team of experienced blockchain developers, will provide hands-on training through in-person workshops, online courses, and a developer-focused hackathon. A key component will be a 30-day hackathon culminating in a 4-day hacker house, encouraging local talent to build decentralized applications and innovative solutions on Polkadot’s Substrate framework.

The initiative will also create an in-depth curriculum tailored to Polkadot and publish resources on major online platforms to expand accessibility. Targeted outreach will support community growth and Polkadot ecosystem engagement, leveraging social media, local events, and partnerships with blockchain experts.
