We’re excited to officially introduce PolkaTalent, a new project developed by Kunveno in collaboration with the amazing Virto crew—the builders behind Kreivo, one of the most forward-thinking networks in the Kusama ecosystem focused on simplifying the creation and management of decentralised organisations.
All of this feeds directly into our white paper, where we detail how PolkaTalent fits into the broader work3spaces vision—a decentralised marketplace designed to connect freelancers with companies seeking top-tier talent, built on fair reputation, transparent value, and trustless coordination.
PolkaTalent is part of our broader mission to unlock new pathways for freelance professionals in Web3. Think of it as a decentralised talent engine that starts by listening to those who know the industry best—you.
We’re currently recruiting Web3 freelance developers active in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems to join us for early user journey interviews. Your insights will help us design intuitive UX flows tailored to real dev needs and workflows in this space.
📆 Interviews will run from April 7 to April 11.
💰You’ll be compensated with 4 KSM for a 45–60 minute call.
If you are a Web3 developer excited to shape the future of decentralised work and co-create with us from day 1, apply here before April 7.
Let’s build something incredible, together.

Hey KSM token holders!
Apologies for submitting this as a comment—this is actually my first time making a Treasury proposal and I’m still learning the ropes (I got confused with the preimage!). I hope it’s okay to do it this way for now 🙏
I'm here to request a small amount of support—32 KSM in total—to compensate 8 Web3 freelance developers who are joining us for early user journey interviews as part of the development of PolkaTalent for a 45-60 minute call.
The goal of these interviews is simple: we want to design tools and UX flows in PolkaTalent with the people who will actually use them. These initial sessions will help us map the real workflows and needs of devs active in the Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem.
We’ve actually received applicatins from more than 8 devs already (which is awesome!)—but for now, we’re keeping this first round small. If things go well, we’ll bring more folks into the process during later testing phases and propose support for that down the line.
Thanks so much for considering this, and again—apologies for this informal format. Really appreciate the opportunity to build in this ecosystem, and we’re excited to keep showing up with solid work and real outcomes.
Let’s keep making cool things happen,

Hey there! Just wanted to add a bit of context about this ref.
During yesterday’s AAG (thanks Jay for the great show!), it was mentioned that the proposal comes from the Virto crew. Just to clarify: the proposal actually comes from the Kunveno & PolkaTalent team, in collaboration with the amazing folks at Virto (huge shoutout to them!), without whom PolkaTalent wouldn’t even be a thing we could dream of building.
That said, check out the kind of response we’ve had to our call for applications from devs across the ecosystem so far:
and what they’re saying when asked about their motivation to join the PolkaTalent initiative:
Just wanted to show that we’re serious about this—and we really appreciate your support here 🙏

Dear Proposer,
Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.
The Big Tipper track requires 35% participation and simple majority of non-abstain voters according to our voting policy. This proposal has received two aye and seven nay votes from ten members, with one member abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:
In the referendum, opinions were divided regarding the proposal's necessity and clarity. Some voters expressed skepticism about the need for additional external talent, suggesting that the existing training programs were sufficient. Concerns were raised about the rationale for compensating interviewees and the overall lack of clarity in the proposal's objectives. While a few voters saw potential benefits in exploring the initiative, most felt that the proposal failed to clearly articulate the problems it aimed to address and how it would ultimately benefit the ecosystem.
The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.
