Bounty to back Apillon Web3 development platform as an open-source, common good infrastructure

Requested DOT: 999,999

Respecting the feedback we garnered and addressing the concerns raised by some community members, we’re introducing certain changes to the Proposal that would, hopefully, reassure everyone of the ecosystem-first objectives of Apillon’s transition to an open-source infrastructure.
Read more about our commitment to respecting community voice and delivering user-first solutions long-term: How ecosystem engagement helped steer the way of the Apillon Proposal.

With this Proposal, the Apillon platform would transition to an open-source infrastructure solution with permanent freemium access, governed by the community, and thus become a common good project, further spurring Web3 adoption, Polkadot ecosystem growth, and DOT utility.

Apillon (apillon.io) is a Web3 development platform (app.apillon.io) empowering developers to easily build dapps and other Web3 products in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Currently, the platform provides the functionality of dashboard-based deployment of Web3 services and API connectivity - the parachains’ functionalities are abstracted and translated into ready-to-use, few-click Web3 services that can be combined to power multi-chain Web3 projects.

Through DOT-based open governance by the Apillon community, the platform would undergo future upgrades, including integrations of voted parachain and other services, to best respond to users' needs and deliver user-oriented opportunities for Web3 adoption.

The updates to the Proposal are as follows:

• Proposal format changes from Treasury to Bounty to align with OpenGov funding schemes and give more control to the governance and treasury community, as a direct answer to raised concerns in the public discussion phase.
• The total funding amount changes slightly to compensate for the DOT price volatility and treasury track placement.

We want to make the concept of Apillon’s Treasury Proposal as comprehensive and transparent as possible. We will do our best to provide additional explanation and information you might request.
