From the historical data analyzed by , one trend is crystal clear:
Bounty-based spending is rising — fast.
And unless bounties evolve, this trend will create even bigger problems.
Compared to direct OpenGov funding, the biggest issue with bounties is opacity:
• Most users don’t know how to apply
• Don’t know where to apply
• Don’t understand the process
• And have zero visibility into how funds are actually approved
This information gap exists for one simple reason: lack of transparency.
If bounties are going to scale responsibly, every off-chain step needs to move on-chain.
Transparency has never been optional in the @Polkadot ecosystem, it’s the only way forward.
