Requested FRQCY: 500

Date: 19-May-2023

Short Description: Fund each technical council account with enough FRQCY tokens to enable them to perform chain upgrades for the rest of the year.

Proposal:

One of the key responsibilities of the technical council is to perform chain upgrades. Since the chain WASM has to be uploaded as part of the release, it requires a significant amount of FRQCY tokens.

The technical council was originally funded with 200 FRQCY as part of the genesis block, however, after chain upgrades and testing several council members no longer have enough FRQCY to initiate the chain upgrades.

We propose here to grant technical council member #2’s account 500 FRQCY tokens from the treasury so they have sufficient to do chain upgrades for the rest of the year.

Deliverables:

Technical council continues to perform timely chain upgrades as new features and bug fixes become available.

Expected Impact:

Without this funding, there will no longer be a way for the technical council to directly do chain upgrades.

This proposal seeks reimbursement from the Polkadot treasury to cover Subscan's operation and maintenance costs from July to December 2022. Subscan plays a vital role as a block explorer and analytics tool for the Polkadot network. The reimbursement will cover expenses including server infrastructure, security measures, and personnel costs. Server infrastructure costs are estimated to support the network's smooth operation. Security measures ensure user data safety, while personnel costs reflect the dedicated team needed to maintain Subscan's functionality. This support ensures Subscan's continuous operation and contributes to the growth and development of the Polkadot network.
