Hello Fellows,

I am Daniel Shiposha, a member of the Unique Network parachain team.
During my work there, I've made several contributions to Polkadot/Substrate, such as the following:
* https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12594
* https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12222
* https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/13410
* https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/13349

Since early 2023, my main focus of activity has been XCM. My task is to facilitate cross-chain NFT interoperability (where the term "non-fungible token" is understood in a broad sense as any "unique on-chain object").

I authored an accepted XCM RFC about custom asset claimers (https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/xcm-format/blob/master/proposals/0037-custom-asset-claimer.md),
proposed another one about XCM Asset Metadata (https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/125),
reported XCM-related issues (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/5878, https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/4073, https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/4841, https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/xcm-format/pull/55#discussion_r1617630672),
participated in XCM-related discussions (primarily concerning fee estimation, see the on-going one an example: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6126).

Also, I'm trying to introduce general and granular interfaces for NFT solutions (whatever the definition of a "unique object" is used within it) so they can be used across different runtime modules, including facilitating the creation of XCM NFT asset transactors.
See the motivation of this PR: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5620 and its supposed-to-be-follow-up: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4300.

Since a large part of my work is devoted to Polkadot and XCM interoperability, and I have a solid knowledge of both Polkadot/Substrate internals and the JS-side of things (e.g., I'm one of the authors of XCM JS tools: https://github.com/open-xcm-tools/xcm-js-tools),
I would like to join the Fellowship with Rank 1.

Thanks, \
Daniel \
