Hi, Thomas, community Lead of Bifrost

People should vote NAY to this tip proposal.
1/ It doesn’t worth 200 DOT.
The whole documentation is available on our docs here
https://docs.bifrost.io/dapp-tutorials-and-use-cases/liquid-staking-on-bifrost
and in our support website here
https://notion.bifrost.io/Stake-DOT-and-get-vDOT-84b4cd300c67427ab3da69f15b30738b

2/ The post is inaccurate. Step 4 is wrong and misleading for users.
YOU DON’T NEED BNC ON BIFROST FOR FEES.
-> we have flexible fees, just bring DOT that’s all you need.

3/ The post has very little engagement.

4/ The cost for the tweet is overestimated.
I mean even Wagmedia wouldn’t have compensated this tweet for such an amount. On average, it would have been maybe 30 DOT maximum based on Wagmedia.

5/ Bifrost is running a Yapper campaign with 50 000 BNC (season 2), so this tweet falls under the eligibility. The content creator may receive around 700 BNC maximum for such a tweet (basic one), around 100$ not more.
Not even sure it would be selected because it’s super basic.

So I’d like to thank Ethan for pushing content creators to produce some contents for Bifrost, but not at all cost.
The Treasury shouldn’t be involved here, please let’s not start another KOL battle to spend such a crazy amount of DOT for a basic tweet, that’s not a good signal for Polkadot and also for us at Bifrost.

if the initiative is good, and we are thankful for that, we’d like the community not to support it for all the reasons described above.

Thx in advance.

Many thanks for your proposal, ET!

The tweet from NRL (@nrlartt) contains roughly 23 sentences. That works out to about 8.7 DOT, or $34.63 per sentence. If we very generously assume that NRL spent 5 minutes writing each sentence, that implies an hourly rate of around $415. While we welcome every contribution to Polkadot, the cost‑benefit ratio for this proposal is unfortunately so poor that we’ll refrain from a deeper analysis. In any case, anyone can review the documentation (see SuperDupont’s comment). Alternatively, you could simply ask an AI the following question:

Can you give me a detailed, beginner-friendly step-by-step guide on converting DOT to vDOT on the Bifrost platform, obtaining BNC for gas fees, and minting vDOT?
