Ink! ecosystem growth tool
Hello Builders,
The Tokenguard team would like to propose and initiate discussion on supporting Ink! dApp builders by providing them with on-chain analytics tool with in-depth Smart Contracts insights for growth purposes.
We believe that one of the important factors influencing the growth of the community of the entire Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem is supporting dApp builders who, through their solutions, attract new users to the entire ecosystem. We agree with what was mentioned in this post that “As a Polkadot ecosystem, we should push Ink! more(than EVM) to make Polkadot native use cases that leverage Polkadot’s technologies.”
Therefore, to attract and support Ink! creators, there is a need for tools that will allow them to operate more effectively.
Tokeguard proposes to build dApp Marvels - an on-chain analytical tool intended for Ink! dApps creators to support their growth and operation through in-depth analyzes and indicators of on-chain user behavior, which will help to more effectively attract users to the Polkadot ecosystem and support Ink! creators in infrastructure development .
We value your feedback and invite you to the discussion.

It's an interesting proposal. My immediate question is, what limitations if any currently are there with handling complex ABI's? Follow-on, how do you plan to fund the subsquid cost (and other costs) in the future? I imagine that cost will further grow as adoption does.
Thanks for your questions @0xtaylor_
Until now, Subsquid has developed an automated tool that generates code for the indexer, it works well and parses successfully, but is limited to EVM abi. Currently for Ink!/wasm contracts the generator encounters error and doesn’t work properly. The source code for this tool is open source and can be customized to meet the specific requirements of ABI Ink. This customization aligns with our primary goal for the initial phase of this project. Additionally we are in touch with Subsquid team for that purpose.
In this proposal, we focus on providing reusable infrastructure that will allow any analytical tool to connect the "dApp Marvels" module and display insight about Ink! Smart Contracts. Therefore, we do not apply for coverage of maintenance costs.
The integration of this module in Tokenguard app and maintenance costs related to it are currently covered by other sources/grants and are not related to this proposal. If this changes, we will inform the community.
Nice! About time that Ink! got as much traction as EVM
