Treasury proposal: Statescan maintenance from 09.2021 to 12.2021

Statescan is now an explorer implementation for Kusama/Polkadot asset parachains. We have implemented Statemine/Statemint/Westmint. We’re requesting the maintenance fee for the last 4 months(09.2021-12.2021).

Servers

We use 3 Hetzner vps + a 400G volume for production hosting and 2 contabo vps for development.

Hetzenr vps:

• vps1: CPX31(4 vcpu + 8G ram + 160G) = €12.4/mo = $14.20/mo
• Vps2: CPX41(8 vcpu + 16G ram + 240G) = €22.9/mo = $26.22/mo
• vps3: CPX41(8 vcpu + 16G ram + 240G) = €22.9/mo = $26.22/mo
• volume 400GB = €16.0/mo = $18.32/mo

Contabo vps:

• vps1: 4v + 8G ram + 200G = $6.99
• vps1: 4v + 8G ram + 200G = $6.99

• Performance improvement
  • Home page search performace improvement
  • Block/extrinsic/events first list page perforce improvement by introducting cache
• Feature enhacement like extrinsic/events filter improvment, 404/500 and other error pages customizatioin, extrinsic/events params shown improvement, etc.
• Bug fixes includes nft/asset approvals, destroyed assets holders, etc.
• Create google form to collect asset info.

Payment conditions:

1. The work is for both kusama(Statemine) and polkadot(Statemint), but to make the on-chain work simple, we apply from kusama and polkadot in turn every 4 monthes.
2. We will use the 30 day avg rate from Subscan to calculate the total KSM allocation at the day of submission.
