This month, we were happy to see many things come together that have been many months in the making. Our highlight was to give a Web3 Summit Talk titled “Do we need Network Constitutions?”, which sparked many discussions around the topic.

The bring Polkadot a bit closer to it, we upgraded our Notion to become a complete OpenGov Portal. The idea is to give people actively participating in OpenGov a portal where they can find relevant links and points of contact. It is accompanied by a list of ecosystem issues and a summary of existing Polkadot Legislation.

From here on out, we will start to implement the theory laid out in past months in BASED Budgeting. Our approach is to push legislation through WFCs, and we start by testing the waters with establishing Bounty Standards through a WFC. If this is successful, OpenGov can in the future delegate certain decisions away from the general tracks towards those bounties, reducing the noise and establishing more structure for on-chain executive bodies.
