Summary

This proposal seeks retroactive funding of $125,000 in KSM to reimburse Brale for completing the integration of their community driven stablecoin issuance platform with Kusama AssetHub, which establishes a significant public good, unlocking exciting new opportunities for collectives.

By leveraging the Kusama-Polkadot bridge, Brale allows any organisation operating on either network to issue US regulated and yield generating stablecoins that can be exchanged at zero cost across 15 connected blockchains.

Ethereum, Base, Solana, Optimism, Polygon, Ethereum Classic, Celo, Hedera, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Cosmos, Coreum, Vechain.

The first stablecoin is decent/dUSD and it has been minted on Asset Hub with ID 50,000,002.

Brale have onboarded to krievo, joining the Decent Partners collective alongside decent, Virto and KSM collectives.

They are committing their KSM fee to driving adopton of dUSD.

A concurrent proposal requests a KSM liquidity subsidy for kickstarting a KSM:dUSD trading pair on Asset Hub.

Brale are committing $300k of dUSD to the pool.

Based on all comments and replies

Overall 75 % of users are feeling optimistic. The P<><K bridge will allow seamless movement of assets between Kusama and Polkadot networks, enabling access to stablecoin infrastructure and easy minting of assets. The $125k integration fee will be used to bootstrap the first stablecoin dUSD, with no ongoing costs. Collaborations with Kreivo for stablecoin loans show promise for treasury fund management. Polkadot Hungary DAO supports this initiative, recognizing the importance of expanding stablecoin options within the ecosystem.

Overall 25 % of users are feeling neutral. The discussion involves seeking clarification on plans for leveraging the P<><K bridge and requesting additional details on the budget allocation of $125k. Specific breakdown of costs and potential future maintenance expenses are also being requested to ensure transparency and understanding of financial implications.

HI,
Could you specify your plans with the P<><K bridge ?

You say you want to leverage on it, so what do you have in mind there ?

"Could you specify your plans with the P<><K bridge ?"

With the bridge in place KSM+DOT and arbitrary assets can move between networks.

That means users/collectives can access the Brale stablecoin infra across both networks, minting assets on Kusama AH.

Stablecoins issued there can also move freely between networks.

With the Kusama integration done it would also be easy to enable the integration on Polkadot AH - for example if people preferred to mint a Polkadot Dollar (pUSD) there for branding purposes.

Please also provide mroe details about your 125k$.

You're throwing a number without any details.
Thx to provide a full breakdown of the costs.

We don't even know if there are some maintenance costs that the Treasury may have to pay in the future ot not.

@CryptoSurfer 

The $125k is Brale's standard integration fee.

We have negotiated for this KSM cost to be leveraged to bootstrap the first stablecoin dUSD rather than it being used as a straight up fee.

No ongoing / maintenance costs.

On behalf of the Polkadot Hungary DAO:

We have voted Aye on this proposal. The project is intriguing, and expanding the use of centralized stablecoins beyond USDC and USDT is essential. Providing support for other stablecoin issuers is necessary to maintain a diverse stablecoin portfolio within the ecosystem.

We are especially glad to see the collaboration with Kreivo to enhance treasury fund management through stablecoin loans. If this initiative is successfully tested on Kusama, it would be worth considering the implementation of the same concept on Polkadot.

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.

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.

#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

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.
