Hello everyone,

There is [demand](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues/13165) for a testing framework that simulate transactions as it would happen on-chain, this can give valuable insight before making any major change to the runtime, sc-simnode does just that and more. Developed and maintained by Polytope Labs, a blockchain research and development lab.

We are seeking financing for the continuous development and improvement of sc-simnode.

You can find all the details of the proposal here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x8lFHv1LZTr0y_Ifn8YzxirNftabaH0dWzzt9zSv6ik/edit#heading=h.tcq61mlmv7q4](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x8lFHv1LZTr0y_Ifn8YzxirNftabaH0dWzzt9zSv6ik/edit#heading=h.tcq61mlmv7q4)

Thank you for reading
