Hello Polkadot community!

We are pleased to propose the Polkadot Cloud Website Development Project, an initiative focused on developing a state-of-the-art platform showcasing the extensive suite of services offered by Polkadot Cloud (e.g., execution, settlement, data availability, object storage).

Problem + Solution

Decentralized cloud platforms like Akash and Spheron are quickly gaining traction, while major incumbents like Google's Web3 Cloud Portal fail to mention Polkadot entirely. No dedicated, well-designed platform exists for developers or enterprises to explore Polkadot Cloud offerings, limiting visibility and adoption.

To maintain its competitive edge, Polkadot needs a dedicated website that clearly communicates its cloud infrastructure, capabilities, and advantages to developers, enterprises, and the broader Web3 ecosystem. With approval of this referendum, we will build a world-class digital presence that cements Polkadot's leadership in decentralized cloud solutions — ensuring Polkadot Cloud remains top of mind.

Why a Dedicated Cloud Website?

🔹 Enterprise Adoption – Attracts businesses & devs exploring Web3 cloud solutions.

🔹 Tangible Reality – Turns Polkadot Cloud from concept → real, actionable product.

🔹 Competitive Edge – Positions Polkadot as the leading decentralized cloud.

🔹 Decentralization – Reduces dependency on a single website/controller.

What is Polkadot Cloud?

Polkadot Cloud is the next-gen decentralized cloud for Web3 builders—offering execution, settlement, data availability, object storage, and more to rival Web2 giants like AWS & Google Cloud. By leveraging the Polkadot Cloud, developers can deploy any Web3 application easily, affordably, and at scale.

✔️ Cloud services overview & enterprise case studies

✔️ Coretime/blockspace reservations

✔️ Performance metrics & comparisons

✔️ Enterprise/developer onboarding
