Subwallet’s Development Dues
In Polkadot Referendum 1745, Subwallet is requesting retroactive payment of 795K USDC for development from August 2024 to March 2025. Notable features in this period included unified address format support, swaps between ecosystem parachains, and cross-chain swaps powered by Chainflip.

Referenda 1728 and 1729 offer two options to continue the treasury acquisition of stablecoins by DCA on Hydration for an additional six months. In addition to 2.64M DOT for DCA, Referendum 1728 proposes adding an additional 1M DOT to the money market via the yield-bearing aDOT token. If passed, these proposals will set up the Rolling DCA feature, meaning that future smaller top-ups can be executed by sending DOT to the proxy account.
