## Proposal for $3000 in PDEX at the 7 day average of $0.5167 price, for development work and consultation for PolkaPool.

Hello Polkadex community, this is ClusterCuss, I hope most of you know me as I have always tried to be around and help in the community as much as possible over the years. Over the last couple months I have been working with the core contributors to hep make an interface for PolkaPool, allowing for the swapping of assets and the addition and removal of liquidity from pools. This has allowed the community to crate and fund pools for:

- ASTR
- iBTC
- USDT
- GLMR
- PHA
- and most recently BNC

Allowing new orderbook users to come in with any of those assets and be auto swapped into the PDEX they need to get going.

Over the course of a couple weeks I was able to work with the team to test and develop the API needed to get the information for the PolkaPool interface. I then made the prototype that is available on https://polkapool.trade/ 

While most users will not interact with these pools directly the Core contributors and myself believed an interface that allowed the community to fund these pools and also for arbitragers to keep the pools in sync with the outside world was an important milestone to implement the very important to the orderbook Autoswap functionality.

I am asking for $3000 for the serves rendered getting the PolkaPool interface up and running so AutoSwap could be completed.

This proposal outlines a 42-week plan for The Kusamarian. It includes the transition to a blended funding model, with 70% of costs covered by the treasury and 30% from alternative sources. Kusamarian’s costs breakdown is presented with full details and they welcome audits for transparency and further improvements. The Kusamarian emphasize on attracting new audience, spotlighting the builders and the overall developments within Polkadot ecosystem, and providing a forum for discourse and discovery.
