No more low turn-out, which is currently predominant on Polkadot. Withdrawing of staking rewards must have the pre-condition of continuously participating in governance. (4/4)

A good way for representing no-confidence. So that we know that if actions done by voters are because of the specific proposal, or because of a broader issue of the whole blockchain. It also saves voters a lot of troubles. (3/4)

I must say that I find the newly proposed on-chain governance system for #Cardano (https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/380) to be *really* good. It solves a lot of issues I've been struggling with #Polkadot governance over the years. (1/4)

Happy to finally have this proposal moving forward -- the decentralized Polkadot treasury may soon start to fund upstream open source projects / organizations that Polkadot depends on. Starting with Matrix.org Foundation! #matrix #polkadot

Polkadot treasury call for proposals -- manual collection of validator information

NPoS relies heavily on nominators' building trusts with validators. Many wallets provide certain "scores" for validators. However, there are only so much you can do with automated scores, and they must be accompanied with manually collected information to be complete. This is what this CFP is about -- manually asking validators about why they can be trusted -- node setups, fees, postmortems, etc.

Polkadot treasury call for proposals -- offline wallet tooling that does not rely on the browser

Something like Bitcoin's Electrum, or Monero's CLI wallet. A good way to improve security is to reduce the attack surface. Browsers can do too many things, and for a wallet, it is bad.

Polkadot treasury call for proposals -- build a Mastodon community

There is currently no concentrated community in Mastodon specifically for Polkadot, so we need to build one! News needs to be bridged from Twitter regularly, and efforts have to be made to create the community. Using a cryptocurrency, you may as well want to make more things in your life decentralized!

Polkadot treasury call for proposals

In this toot thread, I list some (often bite-sized) treasury proposals that I really want to see in the Polkadot community. Like the saying goes, a good proposal is usually one that surprises us. However, if you are looking for some inspirations, here you go!

Our current performance bottleneck is on GRANDPA, but not on BABE. By separating the validator set of those two, it is indeed practical to accomplish 10,000+ validators. https://github.com/neatcoin/neatcoin/discussions/2
