PolkaWorld has just released the Chinese version of the @Polkadot 2025 Q1 Treasury Report! During the process of translating, researching information, and organizing this report, I had some insights and observations that I would like to share here:
1⃣ Ecological governance is becoming more 'organized', and Bounty and Collective will play an increasingly important role in the future. Additionally, driven by the DV project incentives from the Web3 Foundation, more and more sub DAOs are emerging, and everyone will support and balance each other in the future.
2⃣ Stablecoins USDT/USDC are becoming the mainstream tokens for funding, and the exchange of stablecoins will need to be conducted regularly in the future!
3⃣ After experiencing a 'burn money' strategic sprint in 2024-Q2, the Polkadot Treasury is becoming more 'rational' and 'focused'. Not all directions will spend money, but rather, it will tend to concentrate resources on investing in 'the most promising sectors for driving ecological growth'.
4⃣ Through the expenditure structure, it can be seen that the current priority of the Polkadot DAO is that the ecological needs 'to be seen':
First priority: Outreach (brand, market, public relations, cooperation);
Second priority: Development (tools, wallets, bridges) → Lowering the threshold for developers;
Third priority: Operations (nodes, dashboards, browsers) → Maintaining robust infrastructure;
5⃣ The Polkadot Treasury has funded a total of 491 different teams or organizations so far (only counting those with on-chain identities), which is unparalleled by any ecosystem, and this number will only continue to grow in the future! Polkadot DAO is the largest DAO in the world!
6⃣ Polkadot is the only ecosystem that has set up an on-chain treasury. Compared to other ecosystems that decide budgets and allocations through the roles of foundations, Polkadot is more sustainable, transparent, and highly decentralized!
