Governance platform
Polkassembly

The primary on-chain governance interface for Polkadot and Kusama. From Gov1 through the OpenGov migration, Polkassembly was where the ecosystem made decisions — proposals, referenda, treasury, delegation, identity, and Fellowship governance in one place.

2020 — First governance UX at scale on Polkadot
2023 — Primary interface for the OpenGov migration
2024 — Fellowship induction UI, identity, Proof of Personhood
Treasury & multisig
PolkaSafe

Multisig and treasury management for the Polkadot ecosystem. Built for teams, DAOs, and on-chain organizations managing shared assets at scale — trusted by the Web3 Foundation, Mythos, and leading parachain teams as their primary multisig tool.

$300M+ — Peak assets under management, five networks
Web3 Foundation, Mythos — and top ecosystem teams
Identity & personhood
Proof of Personhood

On-chain identity infrastructure for decentralized governance. One-person, one-voice participation built at the infrastructure layer — Sybil resistance and privacy-preserving identity as a foundational primitive, not a feature.

Sybil resistance — at the governance infrastructure layer
Privacy-preserving — identity without surveillance
Adoption
#2 in Polkadot

Most adopted product in the ecosystem by active user count — behind only the primary wallet infrastructure.

Recognition
Polkadot's primary governance layer

Cited in official Polkadot documentation, used by the Technical Fellowship, and chosen by the Web3 Foundation as their governance interface throughout the OpenGov era.

Dependency
Every on-chain decision

Every protocol upgrade, treasury allocation, and Fellowship vote on Polkadot since 2020 was submitted, discussed, or tracked through the platform.

Polkassembly ran as Polkadot's primary governance infrastructure from 2020 to 2026. The platform is now archived. The code is public. The governance record — every proposal, every vote, every discussion — is permanent and on-chain.
