Apillon Platform Milestone 1 Proposal

(Recap)With Polkadot Treasury backing, the Apillon platform would switch to a growth-oriented, SaaS model with various subscription models and forever-freemium access, while giving back to the community with Web3 Adoption Bounty supporting up-and-coming builders on Polkadot.

Apillon has filed a new, revised Proposal for Polkadot Treasury funding to cover the technical development of the Apillon Web3 development platform.

During the voting period of the previous Proposal, certain important concerns were raised - the new project orientation addresses them thoroughly. The full Apillon Proposal linked below explains the changes that were made and puts them into the context of a wider Polkadot ecosystem.

Besides, Apillon’s initiative of supporting the community proposes the establishment of a Web3 Adoption Bounty. Apillon pledges to periodically funnel a share of its revenue and NCTR token supply into the Bounty fund to support up-and-coming Web3 projects building in Polkadot or on the Apillon platform, and, thus, give back to the community that has shown incredible support so far.

The Apillon platform - adoption in less than a year:

• Overall number of developers: 951
• Number of active developers: 432
• Number of projects created: 523
• Service breakdown:
  • Web3 Storage: 47,692 files uploaded, adding up to 31 GB of data
  • Web3 Hosting: 174 webpages hosted - 72 pushed to production
  • NFTs: 151 NFT collections created - 53 powered by Moonbeam, 86 powered by Moonbase, 12 powered by Astar.

So, why vote Aye?

• Apillon is the first Polkadot project actively offering services to application-layer Web3 developers. The Apillon platform serves as Polkadot’s answer to ThirdWeb, Moralis, Pinata, and other solutions already thriving in external ecosystems.
• Apillon would open-source every single line of code, allowing anyone to run a clone of the platform services independently.
• Apillon would funnel a share of revenue into an independent bounty fund controlled by Polkadot parachain representatives to fund projects seeking to build on Apillon, further extending the adoption loop by appealing to a wide scope of audiences - from freelancers to enterprise users.
• Apillon is the first project that provides access to multiple mature Polkadot parachains and their services and utilizes underlying tokens while simplifying the payment process.
• Apillon is directly promoting the ecosystem partners and boosting the growth of the Polkadot Network through executing the business side via DOT, CRU, GLMR, KILT, and other DOT-based tokens.
• Apillon provides a "forever"-freemium business model with a wide range of services, lowering the threshold for entering the Web3 space through a newbie-proof Web2 building logic.
