The August payment cycle has seen quite a bit of late-cycle movement over the past week, but appears to have largely settled into a stable position for a day or two. Below, I have outlined August’s funding requests for the core team and community sponsored proposals as they stand right now. The next superblock is scheduled for block 515096, which should occur at approximately 5-6pm (UTC) on Friday, August 5th.
If you have not already reviewed and voted on the proposals submitted throughout the month, there is still time to vote. Remember that votes must be submitted by the time the budgets finalize 24 hours before the payment cycle, so make sure to vote no later than ~5pm tomorrow.
V12.1 reminder
12.1 is now in testing. When 12.1 is released, the budget system will be “reset” and we will need to add each budget proposal manually. For this reason, all new core team budget proposals are single month proposals until the new system is operational on mainnet.

Complete Budget (as of current voting rank):
Note: USD conversion in the table assumes conversion rates noted in the new budget proposals (at the time they were submitted to the network). Core team budgets with durations over 12 months assume a USD exchange rate of $9.750 as of August 2nd. Existing fixed-duration budgets use the exchange rate at the time of creation / approval. Exchange rate risk is carried only by the proposer of these budget proposals and not by the network unless otherwise noted in the proposal
