based on VBL guidelines, a resubmission should be made on discussion forum before pushing this via voting. please kindly remove this tks [@decentraDOT](gfxLi1Xy6pfGc1iYNQU7i7JFXNdZ6W6axpXYvFWCTvuDrPU-bifrost-polkadot) 

Hi Thibault,
Thanks for your comment. Please see https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/30 for the discussion thread. The renewal contains the same parameters as the original proposal.

We have discussed and announced this referendum prior to posting on other Bifrost channels. To our knowledge this is also how a few weeks ago other renewal proposals managed their referendum and were accepted if you look at the subsquare history. 

Resubmitting would be a large inconvenience, also considering prior discussion and the fact that the referendum was only just created. I hope you understand this from our perspective, also considering the tokens that we locked.
Thank you

Hello everyone,

It has been 6 months since the inclusion of our validator in the VBL program, hereby our proposal for the continuation of decentraDOT in the Validator Boost Program.

**1. Commission & Validator Performance:**

We have maintained a low commission rate of 1%, and for this proposal will stay on 1% to ensure bifrost nominators receive fair rewards.
Our validators are hosted on in-house hardware in The Netherlands, providing top-notch security and performance. We actively monitor our infrastructure with Grafana to ensure optimal uptime and performance.

**2. Liquidity Contribution:**

We have provided 8,350 vDOT to mint vToken, contributing to the liquidity and stability of the Bifrost ecosystem.
Future commission from our validator network will also be moved into vDOT, further enhancing liquidity.

**3. Community Engagement & Marketing:**

Our guides on Polkadot, hosted at guides.decentraDOT.com, receive over 9,000 impressions monthly, helping to educate and engage the broader community.
We have created content that promotes vKSM and vDOT, providing backlinks from our established guides and SEO-optimized articles to increase visibility for Bifrost.

**Moving Forward:**
As we continue our journey with Bifrost, we remain committed to maintaining our high standards and expanding our contributions. We believe that our presence in the VBL program is mutually beneficial.

We kindly ask for your support to stay in the VBL program and continue making meaningful contributions.

Thank you for considering our proposal.

Best regards,
The decentraDOT Team
