📄️ 2025 January Polkadot OpenGov Report
Since March 2024, we have advocated for the idea that bounties should function as departmental bodies within the executive branch of OpenGov. At its core, the concept is straightforward: OpenGov is an assembly of all DOT holders, yet individual holders do not have the time or energy to engage in every single governance decision. Therefore, the assembly should delegate executive power to specialized departments, which can be both bounties and collectives. OpenGov’s primary role should be overseeing these departments, ensuring they function effectively, making necessary adjustments, and stepping in to decide on major expenditures that surpass departmental budgets. Additionally, OpenGov's permissionless nature allows it to serve as a higher court for proposers who may disagree with departmental decisions, providing a layer of checks and balances.
📄️ 2025 February Polkadot OpenGov Report
February saw multiple significant sponsorship rejections, clearly indicating tokenholder preferences. Both e-sports proposals, Vitality and G2, failed to gain approval. Vitality was rejected decisively, while G2's narrower margin still wasn't sufficient. These results underline that token holders are increasingly inclined toward proposals that emphasize direct integrations and more thoughtfully designed user funnels.
