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 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.

Epico is a project that aims to make Polkadot SDK chains compatible with Ethereum wallets like MetaMask. This will allow users to interact with Polkadot-based applications using their existing Ethereum wallets without needing extra plugins or understanding new account formats. The project has received interest from several parachain teams, including Mythos and Frequency. 

The main goal of Epico is to make Polkadot-based apps more accessible to the largest wallet user base in the blockchain ecosystem, which is currently dominated by Ethereum users. By reducing the learning curve and eliminating the need for new wallets, Epico can boost the adoption of both new and existing dApps built on Polkadot SDK.

The project is seeking funding to complete the development and open-source rollout of Epico. The budget requested is $246,330 USDC, which will be used for finalizing the code, writing documentation, conducting peer reviews, and providing technical support for the first three months after open-sourcing. The project plans to open-source Epico under the Apache 2.0 license upon completion, giving the community full access to the codebase.

BlockDeep Labs, the team behind Epico, has a history of contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem, including developing the Mythos parachain, providing code reviews for 20 teams, and developing smart account abstraction and XCM Tracer.

### Summary of Bounty 39 Discussion

- **Discussion Start**: October 9th, focusing on closing Bounty 39 due to inactivity and lack of structure.
- **Main Concern**: No activity or deliverables in 8 months, despite being reactive to external business development efforts.
- **Key Comment**: Ingo Rube suggested closing the bounty and proposed alternatives like centralized coordination from W3F or bringing in teams with significant track records.
- **Counterproposal**: A concurrent referendum seeks to redesign the BD bounty with new curators, led by Cris Nguyen.
- **Saxemberg's Stance**: Supports closing Bounty 39 and opposes the counterproposal, arguing BD is not suited for the current conditions.
- **Diverse Teams**: Believes BD on Polkadot should not be managed by a single team due to diverse skills and goals.
- **Past Efforts**: Previous BD efforts had varying degrees of success, and the current counterproposal does not guarantee better results.
- **Update (Nov 26th)**: Cris Nguyen announced they will not pursue the counterproposal and will create a new BD bounty in the future.

### Quadratic Funding in Polkadot

- **Purpose**: Introduce quadratic funding (QF) as an alternative to the current treasury spending model in the Polkadot ecosystem.
- **How it Works**:
  - Projects share a fixed public fund pool.
  - Community votes, calculated by the weighted square root of donations, determine the final distribution.
- **Benefits**:
  - Reduces the influence of large token holders.
  - Encourages broader community support.
- **Challenges**:
  - Potential for Sybil attacks (fake accounts).
  - Incentivizing donations when a public fund pool exists.
- **Implementation**:
  - Funding rounds with predetermined budgets.
  - Projects apply and are reviewed by curators.
  - Communities donate assets, and funds are distributed via child bounties.
- **Reputation System**:
  - Addresses have voting weights based on on-chain and off-chain activities.
- **Audit**:
  - Transparent fund distribution and voting weight information.
- **FAQ**:
  - QF is an alternative to, not a replacement for, OpenGov treasury funding.
  - Projects can apply for both QF and OpenGov funding.
  - Whales benefit from QF by improving treasury spending decisions.
