Polkadot treasury holds $245M but faces revenue decline and two-year runway

Share This Post

The Polkadot Treasury holds assets equivalent to 38 million DOT, worth approximately $245 million. Head Ambassador Tommi Enenkel, popularly known as Alice and Bob, shared a new report providing the latest update on the network’s treasury.

This balance equates to about two years of the runway at its current spending rate. The report stated:

“At the current rate of spending, the Treasury has about two years of runway left, although the volatile nature of crypto-denominated treasuries makes it hard to predict with confidence.”

Polkadot’s first six months of spending

During the first six months of this year, Polkadot invested heavily in its ecosystem, spending 11 million DOT, valued at around $87 million, across various projects.

According to the report, the network invested about $37 million in Outreach activities such as advertisements, sponsorships, and events. The network signed sponsorship deals with race car driver Conor Daly and also pushed several marketing activities designed to bolster the network’s adoption by the broader global community.

Polkadot also spent $23 million developing its network features and upgrades, including SDK, Data Services and Indexing, Governance, and Subwallets.

Moreover, the network invested $15 million in liquidity incentives and $5.5 million in Talent and Education. Additionally, it spent $3.8 million to maintain the network and core ecosystem components, and another $2.1 million went towards Research.

Revenue decline

The report highlighted a decline in Polkadot’s revenue. During the first six months of the year, the network’s total earnings dropped to 171,696 DOT from 414,291 DOT, recorded in the second half of 2023.

Enenkel attributed this decline to the significant drop in network fees, which fell from 313,443 DOT last year to 39,444 DOT in the 2024 first half:

“We see that direct revenue from fees is still marginal. Polkadot made 300k DOT from fees in 2023-H2 from a short-lived inscriptions campaign. Fees under regular conditions are pretty stable with about 20k DOT per quarter. Other sources of revenue are typically transfers from accounts that return funds that they received and pay them back for various reasons.”
