⧓ Apillon Platform - Milestone 2 Proposal
(Recap) With Polkadot Treasury backing, the Apillon Web3 development platform would expand and integrate crucial features to bring Web3 and Polkadot technologies even closer to every developer and lay user.
Acknowledging the broad scope of work needed for Apillon to become a one-stop shop for Web3 development and lower the entry threshold to a minimum, the team decided to split the mid-term technical development trajectory into milestones, each covering a specific array of tasks and deliverables.
After successfully completing virtually all of the dozens of technically advanced deliverables from the Milestone 1 Proposal, Apillon is submitting a new, Milestone 2 Proposal for Polkadot Treasury funding to cover the next phase of technical development of the Apillon platform.
The Milestone 2 Proposal focuses primarily on delivering features to enhance user onboarding to Web3 through account abstraction, simplify and customize developer interaction with smart contracts, introduce cross-chain capabilities through XC-20 assets, and provide RPC and indexing as a service for more streamlined deployment of Web3 projects.
As part of our commitment to the vibrant community of over 100,000 Web3 builders, we plan to intensify efforts in creating educational material and UX-enhancing features to provide a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for developers as they navigate through Web3.

So, why vote Aye?
⧓ Apillon is the first Polkadot project actively offering services to application-layer Web3 developers. The Apillon platform serves as Polkadot’s answer to ThirdWeb, Moralis, Pinata, and other solutions already thriving in external ecosystems.
⧓ Apillon has turned its code to open-source, allowing anyone to run a clone of the platform services independently.
⧓ Apillon is the first project to provide access to multiple mature Polkadot parachains and their services. It utilizes underlying tokens while simplifying the payment process.
⧓ Apillon is directly promoting the ecosystem partners and boosting the growth of the Polkadot Network through executing the business side via DOT, CRU, GLMR, KILT, and other DOT-based tokens.
⧓ Apillon provides a "forever"-freemium business model with a wide range of services, lowering the threshold for entering the Web3 space through a newbie-proof Web2 building logic.
⧓ Apillon would create a substantial Developer Adoption Fund to support the platform users’ initiatives and help them launch and market their projects faster.
