active
Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1593

WAGOI is a project that helps car owners control their car data and make money from it. It works with the EU Data Act and is built on Polkadot. Here are some important points about WAGOI:

  1. It lets drivers own and control their car data.
  2. Users can manage and sell their car data through a free mobile app.
  3. Businesses can get access to this data if the users agree.
  4. WAGOI can be the first app to follow the new EU law.
  5. It has a big market of over $750 billion and can help Polkadot grow in Europe.
  6. WAGOI already has over 1,000 users waiting and partnerships with big companies.
  7. They plan to have many more users and business partners in the future.

WAGOI wants to show that Web3 can work well in the real world and follow rules. They want to use Polkadot as a trusted way to do this in Europe.

This seems like a very good effort to fund that puts Polkadot technology (e.g. truly decentralized network) in place to power an important service to citizens of the EU. It can provide both thought leadership, as well as inroads to power more public goods infrastructure with a halo effect.

One of the proposers is a PolkaBiz member, so we abstain.

As a general principle, I expect the proposing entity to have a track record of delivery on smaller budget, regardless of other entities involved under the umbrella. I will be applying the same principle here. It's an interesting vertical, and I will be definitely supportive of a small ask for a PoC. Plus, the request for the second milestone should be submitted after the successful delivery of the first milestone, rather than scheduled. I'm switching to abstain from my initial nay, hoping that the team will keep pursuing the idea.

Appreciate the proposer's enthusiasm, but benefits to polkadot are not clear or convincing to me.

I see that this is an interesting proposal, but I don't really understand the ultimate benefit to Polkadot in this whole scheme. For now, I'm staying on abstain.

abstaining due to potential conflict of interest, though i support proposals like this that aim to address real user pain points. data ownership for drivers is definitely worth exploring, and we need more apps and entry points to boost polkadot adoption.

While the proposal addresses a promising real-world use case, it remains unclear how directly it will drive meaningful on-chain activity or user growth on Polkadot. Ultimately, the most important factor for the ecosystem’s value is increasing users and transactions. We abstain with our vote for now.

I think this is one of the more interesting projects I've seen in Polkadot, addresses a niche that is going to explored in-depth in the next 5-10 years as EU and most of the western world, maybe not US lol, move to ban older cars and everyone moves to hybrid or electric smart cars.
