This Proposal aims to provide a solution for cases of scam victims and other illicit activities in the Polkadot community. As a blockchain analytics provider, we understand the urgency for such a solution so, from our side, we are placing the Polkadot protocol on the top of our roadmap of blockchains to onboard in our monitoring and investigations solution. With the funds provided, we’ll not only be able to prioritize the launch in production (December 2021) but the ecosystem will have priority access to start monitoring all addresses under https://polkadot.js.org/phishing/.

Merkle Science has been working closely with Michalis (Web 3 Foundation) and RTTI-5220 (Polkadot Council) for over 2 months in shaping this proposal in the best way possible to meet the current and future needs for continuous monitoring and blockchain investigations by the Anti-Scam Response Team.
