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:

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 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.

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 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.
