[Cardano Community @Cardano]

Introducing the Cross Ecosystem Roundtable Talk!

A new conversation space bringing together SMEs from multiple blockchain ecosystems, starting with @Cardano and @Polkadot, to openly discuss challenges that several ecosystems with decentralized treasury frameworks are facing.

This first session will focus on a key question:
How Can Decentralized Treasuries be Made Sustainable Long Term?

The aim is to build a clearer shared understanding of the challenges involved, what “sustainability” means in this context, why it matters, and how different communities are currently approaching it. The discussion will also look at whether sustainability should even be the goal, and what ideas or examples might already point in a promising direction.

From the Cardano side:
@adamKDean, IT Consultant at @DripDropz_io
@BeatriceAnihiri, Founder of @Konsensis
@Encrypt2, GM Ecosystem at @emurgo_io
@HinsonSIDAN, Co-Founder of @DeltaDeFi

From the Polkadot side:
@Zendetta, Governance Lead at @Web3Foundation
@alice_und_bob, Ecosystem Developer in Polkadot
@Lemonjelly72, Governance Specialist
Ugur, on-chain Governance Researcher

Tune in live to follow the session, share your thoughts, and interact with the table members throughout the discussion 🧵

Another bounty is getting closed: Polkadot Pioneers Prize

This bounty became inactive, the 700k DOT in the bounty will get returned to the Treasury

🗳️@Polkadot DAO Q3 recap:

Q3 2025 proved that Polkadot's governance model works under pressure. The DAO capped supply at 2.1 billion DOT forever, funded critical infrastructure (1M DOT to DeFi, 500K to events), and organized flagship conferences, all through transparent on-chain voting.

Next up:
⚙️ Native stablecoin (pUSD)
🧱 ink! smart contracts
🏛️ PCF elections

Transparent. On-chain. Evolving.

The tools for digital sovereignty are here. It's up to us to use them.

[Polkadot Testnet @PaseoTestnet]

🚀 The AH migration is done!

Over the next ~6 hours, we’ll be monitoring closely to confirm everything is running as expected. So far, everything is looking solid ✅

A huge thanks and congrats to everyone who made this possible. None of this would have been possible without the amazing teamwork and commitment from so many people.

How many chains can be finalized just with one core ?

We've spotted some chains going hard and sharing the same core in testnet 🔥

They all access the same high quality blockspace while sharing operational costs.

Anyone looking forward to deploying like this on production ?

$450,000 up for grabs?

Yep!

Web3 is only as decentralized as the code it runs on... that's why the Polkadot Open Source Developer Bounty is offering grants of $30K each.

→ Milestone-based funding for builders.

[otar @Lemonjelly72]

@alice_und_bob JUST has been building an open, community-driven Polkadot ecosystem directory - 150+ projects, grouped by category, part auto-synced, part maintained by contributors. Would be great to sync efforts or use it as a base for a shared visual explorer: https://t.co/CCWklxbKYY

[R.I.Rtti @nachortti]

We at JUST OS are super excited to welcome you tomorrow to an amazing workshop & discussion on the core principles of Open Source: covering licensing, compliance, and best practices for collaboration 🤓💻 (1/3)

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Securing funding for Open Source projects doesn’t have to be hard.

The Polkadot OS Developer Bounty is offering 15 grants of $30K each.

As a curator, I’m thrilled to unveil Polkadot’s Fast-Grants Program for Web3 builders. It’s designed to streamline funding, nurture talent in the ecosystem, and support meaningful projects quickly. We’re looking forward to seeing your submissions!

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Early-stage builders have a new source of funding available. And it's FAST.

The Fast-Grants Program offers projects up to $10K. Approved in as little as 3 days.

It's designed to get real builders funded ASAP, and is part of the @EasyA_App x Polkadot University.

[Shawn Tabrizi @shawntabrizi]

...and whether it fits your world view or not, the facts are, Polkadot is that ubiquitous world computer.

The fastest, most resilient, most energy efficient, and scalable decentralized computer and cloud server in the world.

[Alice und Bob @alice_und_bob]

The Open Source Developer Grants Bounty is starting!

The program will support ~15 individuals and teams that want to develop open-source software for the Polkadot ecosystem. Grants are up to $30,000 per team.

Would be fascinating to see projects like https://t.co/BR4jPlvdPB evolve. Imagine an assistant that learns your governance style, analyses referenda, suggests votes and even goes out to forums to clarify questions. A step toward redefining participation in Polkadot’s OpenGov.

@Polkadot is not just tech–it is people. People driving a vision towards a world with less trust and more truth. It is a unique vision that needs a new kind of Ambassador community. One that faces the challenge of marrying technology and community head on, seeking the seamless merging of the two.

🔥Enter🔥 The Polkadot Ambassador Fellowship 🪩

The Polkadot Ambassador Fellowship will harness the vast, untapped global community of voices eager to shape the decentralised web. By focusing on education, inclusivity and collaboration, this scalable, resilient programme will set new standards, amplify impact and redefine what is possible in Web3.

Web3 is, by design, for all people, by all people. A user-centric, user owned, community-driven vision. The Polkadot Ambassador Fellowship exemplifies these principles in every way, it is your shot to engage, be seen, make your voice heard—on a global stage. Web3 is growing and the @polkadot community will lead the way, with or without you. Stop watching. Start building. Sign up today.

OpenGov voters - The Treasury's DOT is there to be spent, but it's important to remember that it is meant to be sustainable over an indefinite period of time. However, in the month of June, inflows were over 14x outflows - the equivalent of a family bringing in $4'000 per month, but spending $57'600 per month!

I urge you all to look closely at expenditures, especially "vanilla" Treasury Proposals which have no curators.

I recommend checking out https://t.co/tN9UPcnLxQ and seeing for yourself the current status of the Treasury.
