🔮Polkadot's treasury is down to its last $245 million, enough for about 2 years of spending at the current rate, says head ambassador Tommi Enenkel. The treasury's complexity is growing, with funds being spent directly and allocated in bounties and collectives for future use. The first half of 2024 saw a "huge jump in spending" with $87 million spent, 40% of which went to advertising, influencers, conferences, and events. Despite the spending spree, Enenkel assures that they got "more bang for the DOT" as the token's price peaked at $11.46 in mid-March. However, concerns about the treasury's usage are increasing as its balances have been falling since mid-2023. The treasury's revenue declined 58.5% from the second half of 2023, mainly due to a decline in network fees. Enenkel suggests creating departments represented as bounties and collectives for the "effective deployment of Treasury capital." He also proposes lowering DOT's 10% inflation rate to reduce selling pressure.
