PolkaStats treasury expense proposal - operation costs for Polkadot, 21.12.2020 to 21.03.2021

Hi all,

I would like to submit another proposal to cover PolkaStats operation costs for Polkadot for the period 21.12.2020 to 21.03.2021

MOTIVATION

PolkaStats is a Substrate block explorer aiming to provide the best staking and economic data for both validators and nominators. It helps both types of users by providing comprehensive metrics, charts and utilities to improve their knowledge and performance.
PolkaStats is one of the projects that was born in La Colmena, a crypto community based in Sevilla, southern Spain. The community aims to incentivize content-creation in Spanish for Polkadot, Kusama and other blockchain projects and, as supporters of open source culture, develop software to contribute to the ecosystem. The organization also acts like an incubator that helped create blockchain business models like DragonStake or Delega Networks validators.

One year after starting the project in La Colmena it is certain to say that PolkaStats development also helped us learn and understand more about the Substrate framework and substrate-based chains.

Although there are currently already some very good Substrate explorers in the ecosystem, PolkaStats has a different perspective to offer in order to increase diversity among the existing solutions. PolkaStats differentiates from other explorers in:

  1. Focusing on Proof of Stake chains only.
  2. Being a Javascript based block explorer (both frontend and backend)
  3. Utilising Vue.js / Nuxt.js frameworks used in frontend, with a low learning curve.
  4. Allowing Incipient wallet functionalities

SOME POLKADOT METRICS

Google Analytics metrics of the Polkadot version of PolkaStats in the last month:

  • 8.100 unique users
  • 13.000 sessions
  • Visitors from 133 countries
