Polkadot's recent financial disclosures have sparked debate over its spending practices. The network's mid-year financial report for 1H 2024 revealed that while revenue stood at only $250,000, expenditures exceeded $80 million. This includes $37 million on influencers and private jet logos. Critics argue that such spending is extravagant, but defenders claim it is in line with industry standards.

Meanwhile, Dot Play has received a Decentralized Futures Grant to develop a gaming hub within the Polkadot ecosystem, marking a significant milestone for the network.
