Current Context: In the Polkadot ecosystem, there are currently 23 active bounties (doTreasury | Empower treasury with credit building) that offer rewards to those who contribute to the development and expansion of the network. These bounties have received 4,972,449 Dots from the treasury.
However, information about these bounties is scattered and not easily accessible to the community.
Problem
Difficulty of Access: Information about bounties is found on different platforms and there is no easily accessible place where interested parties can quickly and easily consult the current status of each one.
Limited Visibility: Polkadot’s main page only shows details of two bounties (Polkadot DeFi Infrastructure & Tooling Bounty and Polkadot Games Bounty), which does not reflect the totality of the available opportunities.
Lack of Transparency: Communication of progress and results by those responsible is not always the best, in some cases they mention the presentation of this information in specific sections of the main proposals that after being approved do not comply with it.
Possible Solution - To address these problems, I propose the following:
Creation of a Bounty Index
Design and develop a specific web page within the official Polkadot domain dedicated exclusively to bounty information that has data such as: responsible, objectives, work plan, contact channels, level of progress and results report.
On this page, it is important to list all active bounties with details such as description, original proposal link, reward, requirements and deadlines.
Provide direct links to each bounty page for detailed information.
Discord Channel for Bounties
Create specific channels within the official Polkadot Discord server for each bounty.
In these channels, participants and maintainers can interact, ask questions, share actual progress, goals achieved, and receive real-time updates on activities related to each bounty.
Additional elements
Data to improve visibility: On the Polkadot main page, highlight the bounty section with statistics such as the percentage of bounties completed, the total rewards distributed, and the number of active participants.
Constant Update: Keep the bounty page and Discord channels updated in real-time. Add new bounties as they are released and remove completed bounties.
Benefits
Transparency: Stakeholders will have clear and direct access to information on all bounties.
Active Participation: Facilitate participation and collaboration in the development of Polkadot.
Informed Community: The community will be aware of the available opportunities and will be able to contribute more effectively.
I leave the discussion open so that everyone can share their ideas about the problems detected and the possible solutions proposed. If incorrect information is detected please notify t do the correction
