The Ambassador Program on Polkadot Collectives Parachain The Polkadot Ambassador Program has existed for a while; more information can be found [here](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/ambassadors). In this PR, the program is being brought on chain. ### On Chain Structure The on-chain program consists of nine ranks, divided into four categories ([full list](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/blob/c238fb26b75569a11abb57437fd14acd26e05f18/parachains/runtimes/collectives/collectives-polkadot/src/ambassador/mod.rs#L52)): - Ambassadors (1-2 tiers) - Senior Ambassadors (3-4 tiers) - Head Ambassadors (5-7 tiers) - Master Ambassadors (8-9 tiers) Each rank has a corresponding `Origin` (e.g., `HeadAmbassadorsTier5` - [full list](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/blob/c238fb26b75569a11abb57437fd14acd26e05f18/parachains/runtimes/collectives/collectives-polkadot/src/ambassador/origins.rs#L35)), which represents the collective voice of members of that rank and above. ### Referendum The `AmbassadorReferenda` instance of [referenda pallet](https://docs.rs/pallet-referenda/latest/pallet_referenda/) consists of [nine tracks](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/blob/c238fb26b75569a11abb57437fd14acd26e05f18/parachains/runtimes/collectives/collectives-polkadot/src/ambassador/tracks.rs#L51), each corresponding to an `Origin`. A referendum taken on `senior ambassador tier 4` track invites all members from rank 4 or above to vote and commands `SeniorAmbassadors` `Origin`. Every member gets one vote plus an additional vote for every excess rank. The referendum proposal can be submitted by any member of a senior rank or above. ### Membership Management Initial members will be brought on chain via migration, with subsequent member management handled through the `AmbassadorCollective` instance of [ranked collective pallet](https://docs.rs/pallet-ranked-collective/latest/pallet_ranked_collective/). Both `Root` and `FellowshipAdmin` `Origins`, commanded via public Polkadot referendum, can promote or demote members to and from any rank. Members themselves also have the power to promote or demote via its referendum, with a senior member vote by the rank two above the new / current rank - [full configuration](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/blob/9ab6aa47063d7e8b67ddc10d9c136037f99c03a3/parachains/runtimes/collectives/collectives-polkadot/src/ambassador/mod.rs#L67). ### Content Management The program's on-chain content is managed via the collectives content pallet, allowing for setting its charter and making announcements. The voice of head ambassadors have the authority to set the charter, while announcements can be made by any senior rank member or through a referendum among all members. ### Additional Functionality The `AmbassadorCore` instance of [core fellowship pallet](https://docs.rs/pallet-core-fellowship/latest/pallet_core_fellowship/) decorates the ranked collectives pallet with features like salary determination, activity/passivity registration, and the handling of promotion and demotion periods. While the usage of this pallet is optional in the first version, future updates will make it the exclusive method for induction/promotion. Periodic salaries in USDt, payable on Asset Hub, are introduced through the [salary pallet](https://docs.rs/pallet-salary/latest/pallet_salary/). This requires induction into the ambassador core pallet. Please for more information on the pallets' functionality refer to their documentations. ### Next Steps: - Migrate to seed the program members - Mint ambassador NFT badges on Asset Hub when promoting - Treasury pallet instance for the Ambassador Program --------- Co-authored-by: Kian Paimani <5588131+kianenigma@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: joe petrowski <25483142+joepetrowski@users.noreply.github.com>
NOTE: We have recently made significant changes to our repository structure. In order to streamline our development process and foster better contributions, we have merged three separate repositories Cumulus, Substrate and Polkadot into this repository. Read more about the changes here.
Polkadot SDK
The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the resources needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way. The Polkadot SDK comprises three main pieces of software:
Polkadot
Implementation of a node for the https://polkadot.network in Rust, using the Substrate framework. This directory
currently contains runtimes for the Polkadot, Kusama, Westend, and Rococo networks. In the future, these will be
relocated to the runtimes repository.
Substrate
Substrate is the primary blockchain SDK used by developers to create the parachains that make up the Polkadot network. Additionally, it allows for the development of self-sovereign blockchains that operate completely independently of Polkadot.
Cumulus
Cumulus is a set of tools for writing Substrate-based Polkadot parachains.
