Hi everyone. This is Tommi, aka Alice und Bob. You might know me from my YouTube channel Alice und Bob, where I educate on the edge of edutainment and technology within Polkadot, or from publicly talking about DeFi in Polkadot (and specifically Mangata Finance, where I lead Growth) or from my occasional tweets on the bird app.

Early last year I did my taxes and started building Subscrape, a Python scraper for Substrate chain, to help me in the process. Over time, things became more serious and I started building Polkalytics, a Google-scale analytics service for Polkadot. I have built an indexer for Polkadot that writes the complete chain into Google BigQuery and later derives additional tasks to create account reports for the purpose of filing taxes.

During my work I discovered that there is A LOT of data-related projects in Polkadot, it's just hard to find them at first glance. I had great conversations with people from the Parity Data Team, Apexti, Subwallet, and Apillon and think that all the people working on data in the ecosystem deserve to be much better connected so that we can make everyone's life easier.

Therefore I propose to create a Github repository that contains a survey of the Polkadot Data Ecosystem. A complete overview of everything that exists in terms of data in Polkadot.

I am preparing this proposal and want to gauge if there is interest from token holders and if I should proceed to submit it.

Polkadot Treasury Proposal - A Survey of the Polkadot Data Ecosystem

This thread is a request for comments.

Best,
Tommi
