Hello Polkadexers! In an effort to extend the overall reach of the Polkadex community and connect with as many language-specific communities as possible, we are creating more and more new local communities. The ultimate goal is to spread the word about a better way to trade to all corners of the globe. In accordance with <a href="../treasury/11">Polkadex Treasury Proposal 11 : Polkadex Community Engagement</a>, the positions of Ambassador Lead and Community Moderator were created. Our Ambassador Lead has been instrumental to making the ambassador program more efficient and has helped devise a new rewards scheme and task-set for the next Phase of the Ambassador Program. Meanwhile, Community Moderators have been working tirelessly to ensure that their respective channels run smoothly, providing support to their language-based groups and the wider Polkadex community and answering their questions. Their efforts are invaluable to the growth and success of the Polkadex community, and therefore, it is necessary for them to continue to be compensated for their work. In the last few months, the community members hired for the aforementioned roles have been receiving compensation from the funds approved by Proposal 11 (allocated to esrEouMLgxBCvRCHaJDDj8iY9LbeagR8MKuip3m8SN6sACASK); these being distributed and tracked by the Polkadex team. Moving forward, in an effort to increase transparency and community ownership, the Polkadex team is proposing a direct proposal-to-payment model whereby Francis Dufour, Chief Community Manager, will, on a monthly basis, create a proposal to the Polkadex treasury, receive payments directly from the on-chain treasury, and then distribute the PDEX tokens to the Ambassador Lead and Community Moderators. For the purpose of continuity, I will personally send out a proposal every month amounting to $7000 in PDEX ($750 each for every moderator and $1000 per month for the ambassador lead) . Payments will be made in PDEX based on a 7 day volume weighted average price which will be agreed upon before the on-chain proposals are sent. For reference, the Polkadex Community Engagement initiative is currently made up of 1 Ambassador Lead and 7 Community Moderators: 2 moderators for the global English telegram group 1 moderator for the French community 1 moderator for the Indian community 1 moderator for the Spanish community 1 moderator for the Chinese community 1 moderator for the Russian community 1 moderator for the German community. Any changes (additional hires or removal) will be communicated with the community and reflected on the Chief Community Manager&rsquo;s monthly proposal. In addition, Polkadex community members are encouraged to create discussions on Polkassembly regarding future treasury-funded roles and openings. This transition is part of a larger transparency effort to optimize treasury-funded initiatives and take steps towards greater community ownership and participation. Thank you for your support!
