However, the proposal’s large funding request, combined with its timing, threatens responsible Treasury management.\n\nIf this passes as-is, it could significantly limit available funds for other initiatives. Multiple high-value proposals close to or exceeding ~$1M have recently been approved, are currently under vote, or are expected to go on-chain shortly. Not to mention several incoming bounty refills like the MB etc., so it’s a matter of balancing priorities and ensuring long-term sustainability imo.\n\nAdditionally, the proposed Gigadot incentives appear to mainly benefit advanced HDX investors, offering little value to most DOT holders or even most power users (builders etc), limiting the proposal’s ecosystem impact. Past Treasury spends for these types of initiatives seem to provide only short-term gains for HDX users, with no clear boost to DOT’s price or lasting investor interest. \n\nFurther, the lack of a repayment plan or clear metrics showing direct benefits to Polkadot and DOT holders is a major issue. Why not craft a simple slide deck for the Polkadot community to break down the proposal and post it on the Polkadot forums before submitting it on-chain? This would help everyone, from casual users to investors, understand the key details and stakes of the vote. The minimal to nonexistent community engagement prior to this proposal’s on-chain submission caught many by surprise, missing a chance for valuable input. The bigger the ask and impact to the eco, the more reason everyone should get chance to weigh in before it goes on-chain and is put up for a vote.\n\nI urge the proposers to revise with a smaller ask, a Treasury repayment structure, and data proving inclusive benefits for all DOT holders.","voterNetwork":"polkadot","version":"4","timestamp":1747152031},"address":"12KtA8mtfsK1CyQb4utLiwG3ao22z77w2cM2GqnaL2RiDCoJ","signature":"0x6a5430fe7b1c6701024614e06a9f1ed40d3ae516e1519319780896e9a164b85c1d7d24c79bd1bfef04c4a2ead60097dfbef3b4b50ef5a512161e5658708e338e","version":"2"}
