**Short description:**

The DotSama ecosystem is fundamentally complex. 

Relay chains, Parachains, Crowdloans and Cross-chain transactions are technologies that require users to juggle a lot of new concepts in real-time.

With this alluring novelty come a lot of unwanted risks: errors when transferring funds, incompatibility between account types, limited integration of cold storage devices, hacks on experimental trading protocols, phishing on community forums, lack of clarity around legal obligations, etc.

[**Dot.alert()**](https://dot-alert.gitbook.io/dot.alert/) is a knowledgebase that provides practical guidelines for managing assets safely across the DotSama ecosystem.


**This proposal aims to establish a social contract between Dot.alert() and the Polkadot Treasury to fund the operational costs of the platform.**

You can find the full details of the proposal (including milestones, tasks, and costs for the period October – December 2022) here: [Polkadot Spending Proposal – Dot.alert()](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CiGYEa1AuzUnmhws-hGSDP60QpZM5a7F/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112859871373269428690&rtpof=true&sd=true).
