Dear community,

Anyone that has found their way over to the democracy tab, knows that currently Kusama still has a dramatic **lack of** community **involvement** in governance. We frequently have appalling voting turnout rates of **less than 1%** or even less than 0.1% on our referenda! This is **not healthy** for the network and in order to become truly **democratic** and **decentralised**, we **NEED** to encourage voting from all members!

With my latest project I decided to tackle this issue specifically! I wrote a program that **automatically rewards** all **voters** with an **NFT** at the end of a referendum. Some of you will have already noticed those NFTs appear in your wallets for the last few referenda. Today I would like to bring forward my spending proposal for the project for community discussion. I would love to get your feedback!

This proposal covers the maintenance, development, and hosting of open source projects built by the Acala team. The projects include ORML, Chopsticks, and Subway. ORML is a community pallet library that offers many essential pallets including multi-token support, NFT, XCM, and more. Chopsticks offers the ability to fork mainnet into a local devnet for testing and development purposes. Subway is a JSON RPC Gateway built with Substrate and Ethereum RPC in mind.
