About the program

Polkadot's treasury is controlled by token holders through OpenGov. Anyone can submit a spending proposal, and it passes or fails by public onchain vote.

Larger requests go through longer voting tracks with higher approval thresholds, so building support on the forum first matters.

What they fund

  • Ecosystem infrastructure and tooling
  • Events, education and community programs
  • Public goods maintained over time
  • Adoption and outreach efforts

Who can apply

  • Anyone with a Polkadot account
  • A public proposal discussed on the forum
  • A clear budget and deliverables voters can verify

How applying works

  1. Discuss on the forum

    Post a draft and collect feedback from token holders and delegates.

  2. Submit a referendum

    Put your spending request on-chain on the track that matches its size.

  3. Voting period

    Token holders vote until the track's decision period ends.

  4. Receive funds

    Approved spends are paid out from the treasury.
