The kusamarian is a DOT focused media brand on X.
It serves as a communication platform for Polkadot Builders, Nominators, Delegators &amp; the curious.
 These DOTs will seed The Kusamarian treasury for (at least) 42 weeks of Holder-funded Media &mdash; focused on attracting new interest, spotlighting the people of Polkadot's development, and providing a forum for discourse and discovery. 
Our work can be seen <a href="https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian/highlights">here</a>. If you're not familiar, we invite you to scroll a few minutes &amp; try a few videos. Each week we deliver:
<ul>
<li>1 in-person Video Podcast - Space Monkeys</li>
<li>1 video news digest &mdash; Friday Dump</li>
<li>1 community live chat &mdash; Sama Spaces</li>
<li>2 live governance forums &mdash; AAG</li>
<li>&amp; three deep dive shows about eco projects, NFTs &amp; token economics.</li>
</ul>
Our goal is to inspire new and current holders of DOT to nominate, delegate, and join the effort to deliver the Polkadot Network.&nbsp;
The Kusamarian recently committed to a 31% reduction of production costs to the treasury over the course of this order on <a href="https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian/status/1689762453553299456">AAG</a>.
