The Polkadot Community Foundation, or PCF, has submitted a proposal titled “Wish For Change” to Polkadot OpenGov, seeking to set a binding strategic direction for the DOT DAO. The plan shifts Polkadot’s near-term focus toward user growth rather than ecosystem size or total value locked, and reframes competition away from other smart contract platforms and toward Web2 services and mobile apps. A core part of the proposal is the launch of permissionless stable-value derivative assets called dotStables, including a possible dotUSD, backed by DOT and modeled on Liquity’s overcollateralization design. Under the proposal, demand for the stable asset would ultimately feed back into demand for DOT. PCF also proposes a Polkadot product platform with a Web2-style user experience, including a freemium model and a mobile-first approach. Free usage quotas would be allocated per person through the identity system known as Individuality, while DOT DAO incentives would be distributed only to individual users through on-chain logic with per-person limits. The proposal is still in the preparation stage and has not yet entered voting.
The Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) has submitted a proposal called “Wish For Change” to Polkadot OpenGov, aiming to establish a binding strategic direction for the DOT DAO.
The proposal says Polkadot should prioritize user growth at this stage instead of metrics such as ecosystem size and total value locked. It also shifts the project’s competitive focus away from other smart contract platforms and toward Web2 products and mobile applications.
DOT-backed stable-value asset proposed
Under the plan, Polkadot would introduce permissionless stable-value derivative assets known as dotStables, including dotUSD, backed by DOT. The design references the Liquity protocol and uses an overcollateralized model, with the stated goal of turning stablecoin demand into demand for DOT.
Web2-style product experience in focus
The proposal also calls for deploying a Polkadot product platform built around a Web2-level user experience. That includes a freemium model and a mobile-first approach. Free usage quotas would be assigned on a per-person basis through the identity system “Individuality.”
According to the proposal, incentives from the DOT DAO would be distributed only to individual users through on-chain logic, with per-person caps.
The proposal is currently in the preparation stage and has not yet moved to a vote.
