TechFlow news: PolkaWorld, the Chinese community for Polkadot, announced it has suspended operations for half a month after its official funding proposal was rejected.
PolkaWorld also criticized Polkadot's new governance framework, OpenGov. While OpenGov was designed to make Polkadot's governance more decentralized and improve the efficiency and transparency of the treasury, its current treasury management mechanism is repeatedly rejecting funding applications from long-term contributors and organizations, forcing these groups to leave the Polkadot ecosystem.
PolkaWorld explained that under the previous governance model, DOT holders would elect a council composed of individuals with specialized expertise, and this council would evaluate specific proposals. This proven and effective treasury mechanism should have been integrated into the OpenGov framework. However, under the current OpenGov system, DOT holders often oppose all proposals seeking to disburse treasury funds, leaving many long-term contributors and organizations without the funding they deserve.
PolkaWorld urged all DOT holders to recognize that the treasury exists to advance ecosystem development. If OpenGov leads to the loss of ecosystem projects, it may indicate that DOT holders are making incorrect voting decisions under OpenGov.
