Polkadot Projects Voice Frustration as Treasury Proposal Rejections Mount Under New OpenGov System

PolkaWorld halted operations after its proposal for funding from Polkadot's treasury was rejected. They raised concerns about treasury management under the new OpenGov system.

PolkaWorld claims many organizations are being rejected and leaving the Polkadot ecosystem.

Founder Markian Ivanichok announced Brushfam is leaving Polkadot, expressing frustration with the governance system.

Ivanichok said it's been "increasingly hard to get financing" and the ecosystem "doesn’t care about users."

Polkadot launched OpenGov this year so every DOT holder has a direct voice in governance decisions.
