Polkadot Art Space : A Mini Gallery on a Tricycle as a Medium of Integration Between Art and Education Polkadot - Milestone 1

Hello, have you considered presenting this idea to the marketing bounty?

PolkaWorld votes NAY

PolkaWorld opposes all brand marketing proposals that lack clear pathways to real user conversion. Specifically, this proposal raises the following concerns:

1.Lack of alignment with onchain participation goals

PolkaWorld prioritizes initiatives that drive meaningful onchain engagement and tool adoption. While this proposal may help raise awareness of the Polkadot brand, it lacks mechanisms to guide new users toward actual Web3 actions — such as creating wallets, participating in governance, or using core ecosystem tools.

2.High budget with hard-to-measure impact

The total budget approaches $200,000, primarily allocated to physical venues, creative production, and offline activations. While increasing visibility is valuable, this format’s return on investment (ROI) is difficult to validate with onchain data. For a pilot initiative of this scale, we believe the budget is too high.

Further suggestions and feedback can be found here.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Small Spender track requires 50% participation and simple majority of non-abstain votes according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received zero aye and four nay votes from ten available members, with three members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

In the referendum, opinions varied among voters regarding the proposed project. Some abstained, expressing curiosity about its potential but suggesting alternative avenues for funding, while others voted against it, citing concerns about alignment with overarching narratives and the perceived high cost relative to expected outcomes. Many questioned the project's benefits to the Polkadot ecosystem, with some expressing a desire to see similar initiatives on other platforms. Overall, there was a mix of skepticism and interest in the project's viability and strategic fit.

Thank you for submitting your proposal. While our DAO members recognize the creativity and potential behind the concept, after careful consideration, the proposal has not received support from our voters. We would like to share transparent reasoning behind this decision, in the hopes that it provides constructive feedback for future iterations or proposals.
Our members raised three primary concerns:

• Effectiveness and User Retention:
  

While the use of art to engage and attract audiences is an interesting concept, our members remain unconvinced about its effectiveness in converting these audiences into actual, long-term users within the Polkadot ecosystem. We believe clear, measurable pathways from awareness to active participation are critical for initiatives at this stage.

• Lack of Direct Revenue Generation for Polkadot:
  

Our DAO is currently prioritizing projects that actively contribute to creating revenue streams for the Polkadot ecosystem. While we understand that this may not be your team's primary objective, our members feel that economic sustainability and tangible value generation are essential to attracting further investment and growing the network.

• Regional RPC Connectivity:
  

Based on the RPC connectivities data off from the past 14 days or so, we noticed that within the regions, in particular Indonesia, did not any connectivity. While some may view this as a potential opportunity for development, our members see it as a significant risk, especially when Treasury funds are involved. At this time, our members are not comfortable recommending Treasury support for initiatives that may face significant uphill challenges on participation.

OGT Rating aims to help voters make better informed decisions and direct proposers towards certain common-good practices. We are providing feedback based on 3 simple yet crucial criteria which we believe should be included in every OpenGov referenda.

TruthDAO votes NAY.

We believe the ultimate goal of marketing should not be to promote the art of Polkadot, but to drive real user and developer engagement that contributes to the ecosystem. This proposal seems overly focused on artistic expression, without offering a clear path to conversion. We would like to see stronger emphasis on onboarding efficiency, integration of ecosystem products, and a more incremental approach starting from smaller, measurable actions.

Additionally, the budget appears high and lacks sufficient transparency. There’s no clear mechanism to guide users onchain, and the proposal leans more toward hype than tangible value. We recommend revising the proposal and submitting it for re-evaluation.
