1. Introduction


Note: This is the last report of the UX Bounty as we’ll sunset it by the end of the year 2025.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this journey to make Polkadot UX better.

This report outlines the activities and progress of the Polkadot UX Bounty for Q4 2025, covering the period from October 7th 2025 to December 26th 2025.

During this quarter, we talked with Parity and W3F to elaborate a new formula (UXB 2.0) better suited to help the ecosystem building products.

Unfortunately, no clear directions were set for 2026 and the W3F decided to close most of the bounties, of which we are included and are proceeding now.

In this quarter, nonetheless, we delivered two new UX audits for Bifrost and XCavate, as well as spending time to mentor the builders in the DeFi Builders Program.

The rest of the spending are curator time spent on the elaboration of UXB 2.0 and coordinating the remaining initiatives before closure.

This report is smaller than the previous ones as we’ll sunset every activities. No comments will be made on progress.
