It’s worth saying a few things here: 1) This is not @Web3foundation spending but on-chain treasury spending voted on by the community. The foundation has a >>5 year runway without selling a single DOT. 2) The whole notion of a “runway” for the on-chain treasury is misleading.

Polkadot spent $37m USD in outreach during the first half of 2024, targeting new users, developers, and businesses • $10m on ads/sponsorships • $4.4m on influencers • $4m on digital ads Yet Polkadot still seems invisible on X and elsewhere.

The new ecosystem fund makes its first move. @hyperbridge_ will be a crucial part of @Polkadot's interoperability infrastructure going forward.

Pretty much all relevant on-chain metrics of @Polkadot are up MoM since the summer. And this is pre @Web3foundation's Decentralised Futures showing its effect, @mythicalgames deploying, stable onramps being fully figured out, etc. Will be interesting to see the Polkadot

Applications are now open for our new funding program worth ~45m USD to get the next wave of Polkadot leaders going. This augments the 250m USD that already sit in Polkadot's community-governed on-chain treasury.

Lots of discussions about $dot token inflation in the @Polkadot community lately. Now have a structured approach to the topic and a way to vote on-chain.
