This proposal covers the funding for the continued development of Polkadot-API and the additional efforts by its team for 2026.

Over the past development cycles, we have introduced new features and enhancements to Polkadot-API, along with additional libraries that complement and expand its capabilities. We've also released a series of tech demos that are valuable in their own right, while also showcasing the potential of these libraries, like the Staking Optimizer. A detailed breakdown of our recent progress can be found in our updates thread on the Polkadot forum.

For this proposal, we have been in contact with the W3F and Parity to refine the scope and alignment of the proposal, and we have followed the guidelines published by the W3F for new OpenGov proposals.

We are seeking funding for ongoing development and maintenance through the Polkadot Community Foundation, for the months from January 2026 to December 2026. As outlined in their documentation, the beneficiary is their address in AssetHub.

You can review all the details of the proposal in the following Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hdLGRK9FGcJk5o87TIfbOuQMOqyDb7-0fiiDDJ7BQkg/edit?usp=sharing or in the following IPFS link: https://bafybeiele5ush7iy3sywu4paqf3zm6ttkddcxqzvs5bbedm6oqohkufxjq.ipfs.w3s.link/PAPI%202026.pdf

Once the referendum is approved, the PCF and Polkadot-API team will go through the following process:

• Create and sign a contractual agreement.
• For each monthly milestone, as long as the OpenGov payments are not delayed or cancelled, the Polkadot-API team will issue an invoice to the PCF.
• The PCF will execute each payment to our address in AssetHub 13dXmfrN4Prb3FmdxKDNRyUeNDuNwUTZibYAMFNKmZJut2Lq.

We have allocated a buffer of 4,000€ for PCF legal and operational costs. After the process is complete, the PCF will refund the remaining amount back to the Polkadot Treasury.

Thank you for your support.

This proposal requests a 6-month top-up to continue supporting Polkadot System Parachain collators (AssetHub, BridgeHub, Collectives, Coretime, and People). The goal is to sustain a reliable, decentralized collator set for critical system infrastructure by funding performance-based incentives for eligible collators (invulnerable + permissionless; developer slots are excluded). Payouts are distributed proportionally to blocks authored during each assessment period. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The proposal also includes (1) staking rewards capped at the yield earned on 1,000 DOT per collator (estimated at ~634.67 DOT/month using an 11.9% APY annual-to-monthly conversion), (2) coordinator support (12 hours/month at $85/hour) to act as a technical liaison between collators and curators, (3) ongoing infrastructure costs for local archive RPC access used for verification and dispute resolution (with retrospective queries limited to 3 months), and (4) amortized completion of a new block-author scraping tool (already partially developed and being prototyped) to reduce operational overhead and improve reliability of monthly accounting. The curator fee (7.5%) is applied last to the full monthly subtotal. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Ask (6 months):

• ~70,201.39 DOT total (estimated), based on $2.0834 per DOT
• Equivalent to $146,257.58 USD total :

Monthly estimate:

• ~11,700.23 DOT/month
• Equivalent to $24,376.26 USD/month

OmniAvatar™

(Early PolkadotAvatars.com) is building a cross-game, cross-engine, chain-agnostic digital identity layer that allows players to use a single customizable avatar across multiple supported games (Roblox, Unity, Unreal Engine, UEFN).

---

Where It Fits in the Polkadot Ecosystem: Vision

OmniAvatar™ becomes:

• A hub layer for game developers, communities, IP holders, brands, and creators.
• A shared identity standard across engines.
• An entry point for mainstream users discovering Polkadot.

Relation to Polkadot:

• Provides real utility for Polkadot and any supported chain communities through playable digital assets.
• Prepares a framework compatible with Polkadot’s emerging DID / Proof-of-Personhood ecosystem.
• Enables future DOT-accepted operations (combine/upgrade/trade) once gameplay and user-base validation are complete.
• Acts as a Web2 to Web3 bridge that respects all Roblox/Epic/Unity policies (no wallets in-game, no blockchain calls inside engines).

---

Needs It Solves: How it's actually works

Players lose identity every time they switch games.
This fragmentation kills retention, creativity, and network value. We've fixed this.

• Real gameplay utility for digital collectibles
• Lack of portable identity across games
• Lack of gaming presence for Polkadot in mainstream engines
• Safe, compliant Web2/Web3 integration model
• Missing cultural/visual layer in Polkadot
• Onboarding non-crypto users through games

---

Already Functional Technical Components:

• Companion Web-App:
  Web3 login
  NFT indexing (chain-agnostic)
  Modular avatar customization UI interface
  JSON-based avatar config storage
  External account linking (Roblox → PA app)
  Reward/Achievement system POC

• Roblox SDK POC:
  Load a user’s avatar config
  Build a modular character in-engine
  Apply unified avatar movement/animation system
  Trigger achievement events to external reward assignment

• Modular Avatar Multi-Game/Engine Architecture:
  Game-ready production pipeline for multi-platform integration
  Interchangeable modules: head, torso, left arm, right arm, legs, back accessories
  Costume system replacing the full body
  Millions of combinations

• Reward Pipeline POC:
  Game to OA App to User Reward
  Compliant with Roblox/UEFN rules - no wallet actions inside the engine.

• Functional Roblox mini-games prototypes POC:
  Steal-type game with the super popular Roblox genre and concept of a third-person multiplayer shooter.

• Communities IPs character modular sets integrations: TheDots, Mythical, Kusamarian, Kevin.

• OmniAvatar™ Marketplace POC: When the integration loop opens, players will buy functional assets and use them in games immediately. No waiting. No conditions. Day one utility.

---

Why Our Team Is Interested:

We aim to address the long-standing fragmentation of digital identity across games by creating a neutral, portable, and chain-agnostic identity format with real utility across mainstream gaming engines.

Revenue Model POC: Miro Board

Revenue is generated from live gameplay, asset usage, and IP integrations.

Players earn and mint items through gameplay and achievements, with a minting fee applied.
Assets can be combined, upgraded, and customized, generating repeat transaction fees.
Players trade items inside the platform marketplace, with a fee on each sale.

IP holders and partner studios integrate their brands and asset collections into the platform. These integrations drive additional asset creation, distribution, and transaction volume across connected games.

Revenue streams:

• Minting fees
• Item combining and upgrading fees
• Marketplace transaction fees
• IP integration partnerships

All revenue is tied to active use inside games and platform systems, not speculative asset holding or deferred utility.

---

The Raise and 6-month Tragets:

This proposal seeks support to complete the next one milestone 6-month development phase:

• Establish an operational cross-game identity loop in live environments.
• Reach 300+ registered users actively interacting with the platform.
• Deploy 20+ new modular avatar components usable across integrated games.
• Integrate and launch 2 playable games using the OA SDK.
• Release the companion app with multi-game identity synchronization.
• Launch a DOT-accepted marketplace MVP with functional assets only.
• Stabilize the achievement - reward - asset minting loop in production.

Personal address to the Polkadot community.

Hello, my people. My name is Ilya (Undergraphics).

I’ve spoken with nearly every active member of the Polkadot ecosystem, gathered direct feedback from all available DAOs, Parity employees, Web3 Foundation, and rebuilt the project based on those conversations. Not cosmetically, but structurally.

This new proposal is the result of dialogue and we need your support to launch the product. The main goal is to achieve self-sufficiency. I will try very hard to achieve this goal in terms of the semi-annual treasury financing.

All current and future development updates, streams, videos, integrations, and the entire working process will be shared publicly on social media.

Context of the TIP Request – December 2025

This TIP covers the work performed during December 2025 related to the management of the Polkadot Spanish X account, following the formal closure of the Marketing Bounty under which activities were carried out between August and November.

Although the bounty period ended, the Editorial Board decided to continue managing the account throughout December in order to preserve the results achieved, maintain editorial consistency, and avoid a sudden decline in activity, reach, and engagement within the Spanish speaking community.

Given the importance of sustaining an active and orderly presence during this transitional phase, this TIP is submitted to account for the work performed during December.

A new version incorporating the feedback received here is up for vote: New Proposal

Voters have become increasingly cautious, making it harder for projects to gain approval for their proposals. Our project introduces a clawback mechanism to significantly reduce risks to the Polkadot Treasury. By implementing this safeguard, we aim to lower financial exposure and provide voters with peace of mind to confidently approve funding for impactful projects.

With our tool, a group of decentralized treasury guardians is incentivized to oversee scheduled payouts and intervene when necessary to protect the Treasury.

Key features of our proposal:

• No upfront payments are requested.
• All payouts are tied to milestone delivery, with sufficient time for the community to review and delay/ cancel disbursements if needed to ensure accountability on our behalf.Milestone Delivery Deadlines:
  Milestone 1: Nov 9 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Dec 29 2025
  Milestone 2: Dec 7 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Jan 26 2026
  Milestone 3: Jan 4 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Feb 23 2026
  Milestone 4: Feb 1 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Mar 23 2026
  Milestone 5: Mar 1 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Apr 20 2026
  Milestone 6: May 29 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: May 18 2026

We are passionate about leading the charge to de-risk the Treasury, enhance its efficiency, and better align the interests of token holders and proposers. We eagerly look forward to collaborating with the Polkadot community and new + existing ecosystem teams to achieve these goals.
