[Polkascan Foundation](https://polkascan.org) is a not-for-profit infrastructure service provider and maintainer of Polkadot ecosystem open source software, such as the Polkascan Explorer and Python libraries. The Python libraries were initially funded by Web3 Foundation grants, they have a generalized nature, suitable for adoption by any Python-based project in the broader Polkadot ecosystem. 

At the time of writing [213 Github repositories](https://github.com/polkascan/py-substrate-interface/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS04OTc2NTczNTM%3D) are depending on our libraries.
