- Polkadot Assurance Legion (PAL) wants 500,000 DOT to keep Polkadot safe.  

• PAL helps pay for security checks (audits) and tools to find bugs.
• So far, PAL has found 133 problems, with 27 being very serious.
• Most money (78%) goes to audits, 12% to PAL workers, and 8.5% to tools.
• The new funds will last 12-18 months for more security work.
• More security means safer apps and happier users.
• PAL shares updates so everyone knows how the money is used.
