OpenGov Medium Spender Track Discussion - $75,000 USD
Greetings to the Community
Hello Polkadot Community!
I am excited to share our progress on the Interactive PAPI Console and discuss our proposal to scale this developer tools initiative through OpenGov's Medium Spender Track.
What We Have Already Delivered
Fast Grants Success Story
We are currently completing Milestone 2 of our Fast Grants project with demonstrated results:
Real Impact Already Achieved
- Monaco Editor Integration with full TypeScript support
- Multi-network Support (Polkadot, Westend, Paseo, Kusama)
- Real-time React Rendering with error boundaries
- Community Templates System enabling knowledge sharing
- Export Functionality for production deployments
Why This Matters Now
The community has already reached consensus: Developer Experience must be our priority #1.
The identified problem:
"Parachain development is rough... bootstrapping taking 2-4 years" - alice_und_bob
Our opportunity:
What We Propose to Build
3 simple milestones, 12 weeks, $75k:

Quick Questions for the Community
Help us prioritize:
- Which frameworks do you use most? (Next.js, Vite, Remix, others?)
- Which parachains need templates urgently?
- What type of tutorial would be most useful? (DeFi, NFTs, Governance, Gaming?)
- What is the biggest pain point in Polkadot development today?
Simple Goals (1 year)
- 1,000+ developers using monthly
- 200+ projects created
- 50+ apps in production
- 75+ community templates
Investment
$75k = Excellent cost-benefit ratio
- Comparison: Polkadot-API received $327k
- Our console benefits the ENTIRE ecosystem
- We already have a solid foundation built
