Polkassembly is an integral part of Polkadot and Kusama governance.

This submission proposes an annual payment as part of our social contract with the Polkadot & Kusama treasury to cover maintenance, operations and human resource costs for Polkassembly, including general maintenance, runtime upgrades changes, new feature development and could/infrastructure cost.

Why has Polkassembly moved to an annual social contract?

Polkassembly is transitioning from a quarterly proposal model to an annual one to streamline our operations and enhance the value we deliver to the Polkadot community. This strategic shift is driven by several key factors:

1. Sustained Support and Development:

Moving to an annual proposal model allows us to secure more stable and long-term support for our team. This stability is crucial for maintaining a dedicated group of developers and contributors who can focus on continuous development without the interruptions that come with frequent funding cycles.

2. Enhanced Focus on Quality and Innovation:

With a yearly cycle, our team can dedicate more time to developing high-quality features and undertaking innovative experiments that require longer gestation periods. Planned pipelines and milestones with research will help deliver high quality features beyond the quarterly milestones

3. Comprehensive Reporting and Transparency:

Annual proposals enable us to provide more detailed and impactful reports on our progress and achievements. These comprehensive reports will offer clear insights into our contributions, backed by proof of work statistics, showcasing our commitment and the tangible benefits we bring to the ecosystem.
All these metrics are attached below in the Product Statistics and social statistics where our contribution and its significance can be seen

4. Strategic Marketing and Community Engagement:

A yearly cycle affords us the opportunity to plan and execute more strategic marketing initiatives. By aligning our marketing efforts with our development milestones, we can ensure that our achievements are effectively communicated and a long term strategy to promote OpenGov and its novel developments can be highlighted within and outside the community.

5. Maximizing Common Good and Addressing Opportunity Costs:

This model allows us to align our resources more closely with the common good of the Polkadot ecosystem. By considering the opportunity costs, we can prioritize projects and features that offer the highest value and impact, ensuring that our contributions are both meaningful and timely.

So essentially, transitioning to an annual proposal model reflects our commitment to continuous contribution, high-quality development, and strategic growth. With 95%+ of our milestones already achieved in the past year and over 50 new features rolled out, we are confident that this new approach will enable us to serve the Polkadot community even more effectively.
Our story is one of unwavering commitment and proven results, and we are excited to embark on this next phase of our journey with the support of the community.

So what are we upto in 2024?
