⧓ The full Apillon Milestone 3 Proposal
Revised Apillon Proposal for Polkadot Treasury - Milestone 3
Following extensive community feedback on our previous discussion post (#2520), which highlighted Apillon’s enterprise ambitions, we’re introducing an updated approach for Milestone 3 of the Apillon platform. Conversations with ecosystem stakeholders (Permanence DAO, ChaosDao, Opengov.watch, and others) provided critical insights that shaped this revision. While our Salesforce Web3 Cloud integration remains an exciting future possibility, it became clear that this element took focus away from the foundational goals of Milestone 3. To address this, we have removed Salesforce-related components and dependencies from this proposal, refocusing on the core infrastructure and service improvements that Apillon is uniquely positioned to deliver.
Our Core Objectives for Milestone 3
Milestone 3 focuses on two fundamental achievement areas:
- New Service Integrations
- Enhancements to Existing Services
This structured approach centers on supporting developers and enterprises with robust, user-friendly tools, which reduce Web3 adoption barriers and enable no-code/low-code solutions. Through new integrations and streamlined, enterprise-oriented templates, we are committed to expanding the accessibility and utility of Polkadot parachains and Apillon’s capabilities.
Why Vote Aye?
With this refined proposal, we believe Apillon is set to drive meaningful growth and innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem:
⧓ Strengthening Core Integrations – Our expanded partnerships with Kwil, CESS, and POP provide developers access to decentralized databases, encrypted storage, and INK! smart contracts, enhancing versatility and usability for the entire community.
⧓ Enterprise-ready Templates – Refining Simplets into targeted, use-case-focused products to streamline deployment and customization for large-scale clients.
⧓ Enhanced User Experience – With continuous UX and Developer Experience improvements, Milestone 3 addresses user feedback to deliver a seamless experience.
⧓ Supporting Open-source Growth – Ready-made open-source tools, such as GitHub auto-pull integrations and Vercel templates, incentivize community adoption, making Web3 more accessible.
⧓ Commitment to Security – Ongoing third-party audits strengthen Apillon’s security, reinforcing developer and enterprise trust within the Polkadot ecosystem.
Moving Forward
This proposal aims to provide a clear path to achieving the ambitious goals of Milestone 3, with a transparent focus on building strong foundations within the Polkadot ecosystem. By concentrating on core improvements and integrations, Apillon is positioned to drive sustainable growth and facilitate future enterprise partnerships. We will bring the Salesforce integration forward in a separate proposal, ensuring that it undergoes community review independently and doesn’t jeopardize the primary goals of Milestone 3.
We want to make the reasoning behind the new Apillon’s Polkadot Treasury Proposal as comprehensive and transparent as possible. We will do our best to provide additional explanation and information you might require.

It appears that your team has already raised 171,450 DOT (
$900,113) for milestone 1 + 91,663 DOT ($481,230) for milestone 2, totaling 263,113 DOT raised thus far (~$1,381,343 USD at the current DOT price of $5.25), is this accurate?And now you are asking for an additional $809,600 USDT?
When will these requests end?
More importantly, what is Polkadot getting back from these investments, specifically in terms of equity stake, for funding your company will millions of dollars? Traditionally this level of investment would require you give back equity to the investors who are taking on such risk, which in this case, is the Polkadot community.
An airdrop to active participants in the Polkadot community would make a lot of sense in this instance imho, especially given the large amount of funding you are seeking (after already raising a relatively large amount).
