I like the direction of the website. It makes the Web3 Cloud narrative more tangible than other website offerings.

Love how smooth and sleek the design is. Always impressed by Flez’s work.

This is a big AYE from me!

Excited to see more and more services and businesses to launch on Polkadot Cloud!

A massive AYE for PolkadotCloud. Going over the website several times, it is obvious it is ultra polished and that @FlezSoHot spent hundreds of hours working on it. I strongly believe Cloud has a potential to capture substantial traffic for Polkadot and advertise its underlying protocols effectively. For the next stage I would love to see new active integrations in the cloud e.g. AssetHub :)

Any information hosted here, if needed, should be published on the official Polkadot website.

This site gives the impression of being official even though it is not. The domain (in this context) was effectively name-squatted, and the accompanying efforts appear to be positioning this group as gatekeepers for Polkadot Cloud discussions and initiatives.

Apologies if this comes across as harsh, but there’s really no better way to put it. I’ve also heard this sentiment echoed by multiple people, and it’s simply not a good look.

TruthDAO vote: AYE

Verifiable results: The website, brand assets, and other deliverables have already been completed and made publicly available, fitting the logic of retroactive compensation.
Strong ecosystem alignment: Fills the gap left by Polkadot.com in cloud services, strengthening the overall technical narrative.
Reasonable cost-effectiveness: The hourly rate is below market levels, and the request reflects compensation for unpaid work already delivered.

Some suggestions from a strategic perspective. We will need clarity going forward on:

1.	Whether Cloud can establish itself as a long-term ecosystem entry point.
2.	Whether there will be a need for ongoing Treasury support.
3.	How to measure its concrete value to the Polkadot ecosystem (e.g., user adoption, SEO impact, developer conversions).

Dear Proposer,

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

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 seven aye and zero nay votes from eight available members, with one member abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The votes approved funding for the retroactive work on Polkadot Cloud, with members recognizing the project’s innovative approach and the strong execution of its web presence and branding. They noted that the compensation request was fair given the extensive hours invested and praised the initiative for aligning with broader outreach and development efforts. Supporters argued that the progress achieved would drive further engagement across the ecosystem and encouraged future integrations with existing platforms. Although one voter abstained, the overall sentiment validated the project’s role in enhancing Polkadot’s decentralized infrastructure and strengthening its connection with the official channels.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.
