A Million Dollar Alt Account
Quadrivium is requesting 982K USDT for milestone 4 for of its Kagome C++ implementation of the Polkadot Host which recently became the first alternative client implementation to enter the Polkadot validator set. Funding would cover both retroactive and upcoming updates and audits.
Perpetually Yours, Volmex
Volmex is requesting 425K USDT for integration and creation of perpetual markets on Polkadot for its Bitcoin (BVIV) and Ethereum (EVIV) volatility indices, starting with Hydration. Funding would cover roll-out, upgrades and expansions over three years, and, with the support of the community and broader marker, enable integration of its Prime Rate Indices.
The Cap Thing Means More Loops
Hydration Referendum 76, if passed, will increase the GIGADOT cap to 8.88M and add it to the DOT e-mode category. This will give borrowers the option to increase its LTV ratio. In addition, GIGADOT will be incentivized for 90 days with 2,222,222 HDX and 214,285 BNC.
Securing Strategic Success in Spain (and Andorra)
Iberlabs, the Polkadot BD Team for Spain and Andorra, is seeking 144.52K USDT to fund twelve months of continued operations. In that time it hopes to secure at least 2 government or enterprise integrations, collaborate more deeply with its strategic partners, attend and speak at key events, and convert numerous leads already generated in early 2025.
A Little Bit of ReHydration
In Polkadot Referendum 1542 Hydration requests 5M DOT for liquidity incentives over a 12-month period. To capitalize on increased demand in the DeFI space, stablecoins USDC, USDT, and HOLLAR would receive 2M DOT of incentives. To attract more liquidity from outside of the ecosystem, 2M DOT would go towards incentivizing high-volume Snowbridge assets, such as ETH and tBTC. Finally, to continue the traction built with its launch, 1M DOT would be allocated to incentivize GIGADOT.
