A new version incorporating the feedback received here is up for vote: New Proposal
Voters have become increasingly cautious, making it harder for projects to gain approval for their proposals. Our project introduces a clawback mechanism to significantly reduce risks to the Polkadot Treasury. By implementing this safeguard, we aim to lower financial exposure and provide voters with peace of mind to confidently approve funding for impactful projects.
With our tool, a group of decentralized treasury guardians is incentivized to oversee scheduled payouts and intervene when necessary to protect the Treasury.
Key features of our proposal:
- No upfront payments are requested.
- All payouts are tied to milestone delivery, with sufficient time for the community to review and delay/ cancel disbursements if needed to ensure accountability on our behalf.
Milestone Delivery Deadlines:
Milestone 1: Nov 9 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Dec 29 2025
Milestone 2: Dec 7 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Jan 26 2026
Milestone 3: Jan 4 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Feb 23 2026
Milestone 4: Feb 1 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Mar 23 2026
Milestone 5: Mar 1 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Apr 20 2026
Milestone 6: May 29 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: May 18 2026
We are passionate about leading the charge to de-risk the Treasury, enhance its efficiency, and better align the interests of token holders and proposers. We eagerly look forward to collaborating with the Polkadot community and new + existing ecosystem teams to achieve these goals.
