> If validators are the beating heart of Polkadot, governance is the brain that keeps it healthy.

**Proposal**

This proposal is to research the scope of a project called [GovernGoofed](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13in-4Ww4zAkKsBrzbW9THkXEgBQLyM00Bwo3JDNb1oM/edit?usp=sharing) and attract contributors. GovernGoofed wants to offer a solution to 3 of the most challenging aspects of **OpenGov1:** **participation, rewards, education.**

The requested amount for this proposal is symbolic.

This proposal has 3 goals:

- Explain the scope of the GovernGoofed project.
- Research the cost and ideal approach.
- Attract contributors for the project.


**Proposer**

> What is GovernGoofed?

**Problem**

- There’s a lack of participation in the governance and treasury proposals in the Dotsama ecosystem. 
- There’s no real incentive for Dot holders to vote on proposals 
- There’s often little knowledge about proposals

**Solution**

- Make the act of voting more visible and cool.
- Incentivise voting with non-financial rewards, so people vote for the right reason.
- Create a tool/community that explains the most important proposals in a non-technical way


**How?**

The GovernGoofed solution consists out of 3 parts

**PART 1: Making participation in voting visible and cool.**

Part one of GovernGoofed is a Dapp where people can upload their favourite pfp. The Dapp is a goofmachine that then changes/goofes the pfp according to the amount of votes a user made. By this it leverages the existing NFT communities inside the Polkadot ecosystem to visualise the participation of their members in the Polkadot governance.

How? 

Voters can upload their favourite pfp to a Dapp. 
The Dapp tracks and takes in to account the amount of votes and according to the votes it goofes -> changes the pfp. I.e. 10 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp slightly, 50 votes changes it more, 100 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp drastically. 
The pfp’s are interpreted and changed by a trained AI. The AI uses re-occuring features that are recognizable in other goofed NFT’s.

**PART 2: Incentivising voting**

Each goofed NFT holders participates automatically in a raffle. The winners of the raffle are rewarded with benefits such as:

- Being invited to a Polkadot Decoded event, flight & hotel costs are covered by the GovernGoofed treasury.
- The winners can spend x amount of DOT supporting a Dotsama project such as [Teddie Dao](https://teddydao.org/) or any other project.
- Other options to be explored

So in essence the benefits by voting will be real, but they increase the participation of the voters in the ecosystem rather than voters being financially rewarded.

**PART 3: Educational**

GovernGoofed is a media platform that educates about the current running proposals by giving a stage to proposers and voters. 
It uses known channels such as YT, Twitter, Discord etc. to give a voice to proposers in order to give insight in their proposal.

A full visual presentation of the project can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13in-4Ww4zAkKsBrzbW9THkXEgBQLyM00Bwo3JDNb1oM/edit?usp=sharing).

Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

- `origin`: Must be `SpendOrigin` with the `Success` value being at least `amount`.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The destination account for the transfer.

NOTE: For record-keeping purposes, the proposer is deemed to be equivalent to the
beneficiary.

**Problem Statement:**
IBP aims to provide infrastructure services to the Polkadot ecosystem and parachains, enhancing decentralized infrastructure.

**Significance:**
Establishing a resilient, globally distributed setup for core infrastructure services, reducing value extraction by intermediaries.

**Proposed Solution:**
IBP offers RPC services to parachain teams to incentivize new projects to build on Polkadot and allow existing teams to focus solely on development.

**Expected Outcomes:**
Enhanced decentralized infrastructure with over 1140 RPC nodes across 15 data centers and over 37 billion requests monthly, paid retroactively in USD value.
