This week we reviewed 9 @Polkadot proposals, let's see our voting stance:
⛔️ #1680 SubWallet Development (August 2024 - March 2025, 1.07M USDC)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1680
Vote: Abstained
After communication, the budget is clearer, but the development scope is broad and complex, making it difficult for non-developers to fully assess its reasonableness. Although SubWallet is important, its profitability is limited, with annual profits around $10,000. Considering the overall situation, the funding request is quite large, so we choose to abstain.
❌ #1691 PlutoFramework Retrospective Funding (142.78K USDT)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1691
Vote: Opposed
The direction is good, but we cannot support a rate exceeding $100 per hour. The project is in its early stages, although it has been validated through a hackathon, community adoption is still shallow. We look forward to more details on promotion plans.
❌ #1692 WAGOI Driving Data Sovereignty Empowerment (330K USDC)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1692
Vote: Opposed
Although previously supported, HELIKON questions the need for further team responses. The budget needs more detailed explanations (e.g., manpower for each feature development). The team is positive about future contributions to the treasury and has heard that the treasury will soon implement VC Bounty, which may be applicable.
✅ #1693 Polkadot Africa Community Building (160.75K USDT)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1693
Vote: Support
The team has built a good community atmosphere in Africa, the budget is reasonable and clear, deserving support!
❌ #1694 8-Month Participation Retrospective Funding (348 DOT)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1694
Vote: Opposed
Two-thirds opposed, one-third in support. Opponents believe that active OpenGov voters cannot be compared to decentralized voices (DV) and suggest applying for the fifth phase of DV for reasonable compensation. Supporters recognize the fair and objective contribution of SIM-DOT and believe that proactive and neutral governance members should be supported, in line with the spirit of decentralization.
❌ #1695 Snowbridge 2025/2026 Stable Funding (2.44M USDC + 116.53K DOT)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1695
Vote: Opposed
Personnel costs are too high ($1 million paid to 5 developers), treasury funds should cover basic costs, and any excess should consider other financing. The team has applied for $8 million from the treasury, which should be enough to develop and launch the product. Administrative costs should not be borne by the treasury; the treasury is only responsible for development costs.
❌ #1697 Encode Club Phase Three Funding Request (128.33K USDC)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1697
Vote: Opposed
The budget is too vague, and more detailed funding usage breakdowns are needed to assess reasonableness.
✅ #1698 Management Team Bounty Supplement (46.1K DOT)
polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1698
Vote: Support
Funding is reasonable, and we support it.
