Hello from Polkadotters!

Why is Polkadot not included in the Rankings - Ecosystem section, while other L1s/L2s are? Also including the successful projects from the Polkadot ecosystem. Considering the fact, that your reports are paid from the Polkadot treasury, we would encourage you to add Polkadot in there as well.

Also, can you please change the logo in your proposal into the new one, here is the [link](https://polkadot.network/ecosystem/brand-hub/) to the brand hub. It’s a small detail, but it just seems you took the old document, changed a few things and don’t care about the rest. It's been a new one for 2 years already.

Messari is looking to renew its [existing engagement](1521) with Polkadot to provide institutional-grade recurring research. We've simplified the proposal to only include quarterly reports to reduce the budget by ~30% from last year. 

We’ve worked closely with Parity Data over the last year who have been key partners with which we'll continue to work with on this to ensure we're getting the highest quality data to best represent the state of on-chain activity. 

These reports are sent out out to 350,000 of our subscribers along with three of the largest traditional research platforms with the Bloomberg Terminal, S&P Capital IQ, and Refinitiv.

The total cost will be $120k payable in DOT with the same 10% premium to account for market volatility. 

You can find more details in the [full proposal.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/12RNzqvfUKG16dtGvlPYIWouxWiyVzLnGqVOco_FDFlI/edit)

- Messari wants to keep working with Polkadot to create special research reports.
- They plan to make the reports less often, just once every three months, to save money.
- Messari has been working with Parity Data to get good data for these reports.
- The reports will be shared with 350,000 subscribers and big research companies.
- The total cost for this project is $120,000, and it will be paid in DOT.
- There is an extra 10% added to help with price changes.
