**Voters have become increasingly cautious**, making it harder for projects to gain approval for their proposals. Our project introduces a **clawback mechanism** to *significantly reduce risks to the Polkadot Treasury*. By implementing this safeguard, we aim to *lower financial exposure* and provide voters with *peace of mind* to confidently approve funding for impactful projects.

With our[ tool](https://www.treasury-guardian.app/polkadot), a group of **decentralized treasury guardians** is *incentivized to oversee scheduled payouts* and intervene when necessary to *protect the Treasury*.

**Key features of our proposal**:

* *No upfront payments* are requested.

All payouts are *tied to milestone delivery*, with sufficient time for the community to *review and delay/ cancel* disbursements if needed to ensure accountability on our behalf.

***Milestone Delivery Deadlines:***

**Milestone 1 (MVP):** Nov 22 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Jan 11 2026

**Milestone 2 (Refinement):** Dec 20 2025 -> Scheduled Payout: Feb 8 2026

***Christmas Holiday (Dec 20 2025 -> Jan 3 2026)***

**Milestone 3 (Growth):** Jan 31 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Mar 22 2026

**Milestone 4 (The Future):** Feb 28 2026 -> Scheduled Payout: Apr 19 2026

We are *passionate about leading the charge* to **de-risk the Treasury**, enhance its *efficiency*, and *better align the interests of token holders and proposers*. We eagerly look forward to *collaborating with the Polkadot community* and new + existing ecosystem teams to achieve these goals.
