Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1794

Treasury Guardian helps stop wasteful spending in Polkadot.
It uses scheduled payouts so teams get paid only after completing work.
Anyone can check if a team misses a milestone and propose to delay or cancel their payout.
Proposers must put down a deposit, which they can lose if they are wrong.
If the proposal passes, the guardian gets a small reward.
No new powers are created—OpenGov still makes the final decision.
It encourages more people to watch over projects.
The goal is to make the treasury more efficient and protect funds.

Nay

I like the idea of scheduled payments, I see this as a small component of a bigger product, i do think we do need this but not for that price and without the bigger vision of how to de-risk the treasury, improve bounty management among many other things.

I was supportive of the previous proposals but I'm expecting a shake up of treasury spending and bounty system in the upcoming months and any initiative that is designed to interact with these systems will be premature imo. Let's see how the new system will look like first.

I think it's a very good initiative. I agree with what the white rabbit commented on the proposal that it's not a simple on-chain execution problem. There should be more contracts and off-chain supervisions. Abstain for now.

Nay

I still have the same view as I did with the original proposal.

Abstain

It's a good idea, but we'll abstain for now as a lot is going on with bounties. We'll wait a bit.

I echo The Ionian and Polkadotters' comments. I would like to follow what is going to happen with the bounties and the treasury overall with the direct involvement of W3F and Parity before supporting further tooling, or a change in processes.
