Messari is proposing Polkadot to join the Messari Hub, a community-driven marketplace for independent research written by qualified contributing analysts and funded by crypto organizations. This enables quality research to be freely available to various stakeholders including users, developers, and investors looking to stay adequately informed about Polkadot and its broader ecosystem. Reports will live as free resources on Messari and distributed through our newsletter (~200k subscribers) and various social channels.
We are requesting $125k payable in DOT with a 10% premium to account for market volatility. This will go towards funding an initial "ecosystem report" and then 4 quarterly reports to provide more ongoing coverage.
