About a month ago, a referendum was approved to close Bounty 22 , which still held a balance of roughly 400K DOT. Now we’ve discovered that, just before the bounty was closed, one of its members paid themselves over 100K DOT with the description: Invoice: INV/26-2 | Milestone 3 + 4 | Project: 2501…

All bounties must be eliminated. Funding should be direct only through referendum; we must not let them steal from us anymore. This can never happen again.

Hey, This was part of RFP2501 → 2501 - Monitoring Tool (Closed) | DOT PAL The Ocelloids team delivered https://xcscan.io & https://hyperion.soda.zone/ through this RFP.

Reading this thread, what stands out is that nothing here looks improper. The RFP is public, the deliverables exist and are open source, quarterly reports were published, and Albert answered within hours with a coherent explanation for the early payout. And yet three posts in, the community still c…

I think we’re talking about different things. My question is simple: where is the original proposal submitted by SODA Zone? Community reports are not a substitute for the original proposal, which should include the team, scope, milestones, deliverables and budget. Curators are compensated to revi…
