#2 Polkawatch Decentralization Analytics Parachain Support and Continued Operation. [this proposal will not enact successfully if approved: more info below]

23rd Nov '22

As we navigate OpenGov, we re finding new things: it seems this referendum #2 wont enact succesfully, because the call we used (treasury.ApproveProposal) will only be enacted successfully with root origin, which is the case.

We will need to resubmit this proposal:

on Treasurer track (same one)
with the call treasury.Spend (including the amount in KSM for the allocation)

The proposal has now been resubmitted here.


Hi Community,

We recently launched Polkawatch decentralization analytics on Kusama, and Nomination Pools support.

The community is becoming more and more aware of the need for effective decentralization in our Ecosystem.

The interest peaked with a recent deplatforming event of Solana nodes by a Network operator.

We are been contacted by other teams of our community: Wallets, Parachains, Data Scientists, etc That want access to the data and help contribute to bringing awareness to the ecosystem. Which I think is good news.

Parachains are secured by the rely chain, but they are still vulnerable to censorship. Censorship could come from dishonest collators, deplatforming from network operators or sudden regulatory changes from hosting Countries. Despite been secured by the rely chain, parachains would benefit from decentralization analytics too.

On this proposal we aim to bring parachain support for Polkawatch, on top of continued operation of the service and other minor improvements.

The proposal has been for discussion here.

We were invited to participate in AAG#11 where an interesting discussion followed

Community feedback has been incorporated to the proposal.

You can access the detailed proposal here.

Members of the Fellowship Collective involved in projects flagged by the OG tracker should provide a proper explanation, return the funds to the Treasury, or face expulsion.

Invarch failed to provide the first two, so Gabe, a founding member of the team, does not meet the ethical standards required to have a voice in the Fellowship.

TENETS (extract from the fellowship manifesto)

"Members are expected to faithfully uphold the following tenets.
Clarifications to the rules should be in agreement with these tenets. Acting in clear breach of these tenets may be considered by voters as grounds for non-promotion, demotion or, in extreme cases, exclusion from the Fellowship.


(1) Sincerely uphold the interests of Polkadot and avoid actions which clearly work against it.
(2) Respect the philosophy and principles of Polkadot.
(3) Respect the operational procedures, norms and voting conventions of the Fellowship.
(4) Respect your fellow Members and the wider community"

#510 Secure Funds
EJgd...JGQZ
2 days ago

To prevent potential mismanagement of Youdle DAO treasury funds, we propose temporarily transferring these assets to the Kusama Treasury, which is now the safest option.

Rationale:

The Invarch team, which currently controls the funds, has a history of questionable financial decisions, including the transfer of more than 200K ASTAR from the DAO to a CEX without transparency.

Community members have raised concerns and asked questions about fund management, but the team has not provided clear answers.

To ensure responsible management, these remaining funds (400 KSM) should be safeguarded under Kusama governance.

Next Steps:

The funds will later be returned to Youdle DAO holders through a transparent and verifiable process.

 

We urge the community to support this measure to protect DAO resources.

 

Evidence:

Rug on virtuals

Youdle DAO rug

Moving DAO funds to a CEX because it's a shared address instead of moving to another on chain address? No answers.

Pink rug

Pink distributed by the pink team to invarch was supposed to get distributed to the community

but instead 2000000 pink were allocated to xcastronaut (invarch founder) wallet

Then went to hydration and got sold.

VARCH rug

$VARCH token launched less than 30 days ago. ICO investors are down -96%

Tinkernet rug

Tinkernet (kusama parachain) was shutdown. Investors were given 4 VARCH for 1 TINKER. VARCH was later a rug so this converts Tinkernet in a rug. Before shuting down they made an LBP in Osmosis (Cosmos) which also was a rug.
