Open Runtime Module Library, or ORML, originally created by Acala's co-founders in late 2019. It is a collection of modules that Acala team created to solve issues that we encountered, to produce features that we wish existed, at the same time making it not specific to our chain but generic, so we can share them with our fellow developers in the whole Polkadot/Kusama community and help in some way.

Fast forward to late 2022, ORML is widely used by many teams in the ecosystem, and is receiving contributions from different teams. Acala remains the biggest contributor in development and maintenance of ORML.

This proposal (link to doc [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BGvDnc_fHgowSUXE83hhPGsDPBF7cHWMbA4a14k_AyM)) is seeking payment to cover development and maintenance of the widely used Open Runtime Module Library between Jan 2022 and Oct 2022.

Community members, please kindly review the proposal and ask questions you may have, we are happy to address questions before moving onto next step. You are also welcome to share how ORML is useful for your project(s). :)

Proposal: ORML development and maintenance

Chopsticks is a testing client that enables 1-step creation of a mainnet replica of substrate-based network, for safely testing action and reviewing outcome. Projects can test new runtime, proposal actions, XCM, different configurations, dry run transactions, etc, to discover and eliminate issues before they arrive to live network.

With Chopsticks, we are able to provide the tool needed to the community, and prevent issues that we see in the ecosystem. 

This submission is to propose a retroactive payment by Polkadot Treasury to cover development costs incurred.

You can find the details of the proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WnOxnZbQqsaWRh8X6R9oHbOoMonzE0U0_i4SFTS-Cv8/edit?usp=sharing).

Thank you for reading and questions are welcome. :)
