Proposal Discussion - AssetX Bounty for Coinstore On/Off Ramp Integration (3500 DOT)
Posted by: Gabe / AssetX Date: March 18, 2025 Proposal Overview: The team and I at AssetX are excited to propose a new initiative to enhance the Polkadot ecosystem by establishing an on/off ramp for Asset Hub DOT tokens on Coinstore. Coinstore is a Top 40 Centralized Exchange on CoinGecko &amp; Top 50 Exchange on CMC and will bring new users to the Polkadot ecosystem.
To support this integration, we are requesting a small spender bounty of 3500 DOT to incentivize and fund the development of this infrastructure. This discussion aims to gather community feedback before submitting the proposal to OpenGov for a vote. Details of the Proposal: Type: On/Off Ramp (via Centralized Exchange)
Deliverable: Integration of an on/off ramp for DOT tokens on Coinstore, enabling seamless fiat-to-DOT and DOT-to-fiat transactions.
Small Spender Bounty Size: 3500 DOT (DOT EMA7 Price ( USD ): $4.26; Number of USD: $14,895.77 based on March 18, 2025, DOT price)
Timeline: Development and integration expected to be completed within 3-4 months following bounty approval, with regular updates provided to the community.
Ecosystem Benefit: This integration will bring several key advantages to the Polkadot ecosystem, such as;
<ul>
<li>Improved Accessibility: Coinstore, as a centralized exchange with a growing user base, will provide an additional entry point for new users to join the Polkadot ecosystem via DOT token transactions. This aligns with the ecosystem&rsquo;s vision of broadening access to its native assets.</li>
<li>Liquidity Boost: By enabling fiat on/off ramps for DOT, this initiative will enhance liquidity and usability for both existing and prospective DOT holders, making Polkadot more competitive in the broader crypto market.</li>
<li>Scalable Infrastructure: Partnering with Coinstore strengthens the network of service providers supporting Polkadot, offering a scalable and user-friendly solution for fiat-to-crypto conversions without requiring users to navigate complex processes.</li>
</ul>
While Coinstore is not yet as large as exchanges like KuCoin, its rapid growth and focus on emerging markets make it a strategic partner for expanding Polkadot&rsquo;s reach. This bounty will incentivize Coinstore to prioritize DOT support, mirroring the success of prior integrations with CEXs and on/off ramps. Comparison to Previous Bounties
 To provide context, here are examples of similar initiatives previously funded by the Polkadot ecosystem: KuCoin Integration Type: Centralized Exchange Deliverable: Asset Hub integration with USDT deposits/withdrawals Child Bounty Size: $63,000 USD Ecosystem Benefit: Improved stablecoin liquidity and accessibility via a leading CEX. Status: Completed in March 2024.
Ramp Network Integration Type: On/Off Ramp Deliverable: Asset Hub integration with USDT, USDC, and DOT support; future direct-to-parachain on-ramps. Child Bounty Size: $60,000 USD Ecosystem Benefit: Simplified fiat-to-crypto access and scalable infrastructure for parachain support. Status: Delivered in April 2024, with parachain ramps in progress. 
Our proposed bounty of 3500 DOT is modest in comparison, reflecting Coinstore&rsquo;s current scale and the focused scope of enabling DOT on/off ramps. However, the potential impact on user adoption and ecosystem growth remains significant. Next Steps &amp; Commitment Upon approval of the bounty, AssetX will collaborate closely with Coinstore to ensure timely delivery of the on/off ramp functionality. We commit to providing regular progress updates to the community and aim to complete the integration by July 30, 2025], pending OpenGov approval. Should additional features (e.g., USDC, USDT Token support) become feasible, we will explore these in coordination with Coinstore and the Polkadot community. Call to Action: We invite the Polkadot community to share feedback, suggestions, or concerns regarding this proposal. Your input will help refine the initiative before it proceeds to a formal OpenGov vote. Let&rsquo;s work together to make Polkadot more accessible and user-friendly for all! Thank you, Gabe &amp; the AssetX Team
