✅ Why vote YES
• Real pain point, real solution: Onboarding time drops from 4–8 weeks to under 4 hours.
• Already live: Working platform, active users, 2/2 Fast Grants delivered.
• Strategic timing: Polkadot Hub Q3 launch needs Ethereum dev onboarding tools.
• Clear deliverables: 10-week roadmap, EVM templates, Visual XCM, production export.
• Community-driven growth: Template sharing, “Zero to Hero” course, live workshops.
• Cost-effective impact: $75K = just 0.3% of dev budget for major DX improvement.

❌ Why vote NO
• Relies on one key dev: High dependence on Fred could be a risk.
• Centralized platform (initially): Open source and decentralization are planned, not immediate.
• Limited usage data shared: No clear public metrics on real user adoption.
• Unclear marketing KPIs: $9K for dev acquisition with few concrete details.
• Potential overlap: May duplicate existing tools like Substrate Playground or Polkadot-JS.

🎯 Structured and timely proposal aligned with Polkadot Hub needs – but some may prefer more decentralization or clearer adoption metrics first.
