Maintenance & Support Substrate Python API (Jan-Mar 2024)

For the last four years, Polkascan Foundation has been maintaining the Substrate Python API: py-substrate-interface, py-scale-codec and several Python bindings for cryptographic RUST crates used by Substrate.

The Substrate Python API is a library, with similar features as Polkadot-JS API. With this API, Python developers can build apps that interact with any Polkadot, Kusama or other Substrate based chain. There are APIs for different programming languages and our API library is at the moment the only one available for the Python programming language.

As of writing 353 Github repositories and 31 Python packages are depending on the Python API.

With this treasury proposal, we are asking retroactive funding for our activities in the period January until March 2024.

Requested funding: 9,831.25 EUR

Polkascan Foundation and Substrate Python API

Polkascan Foundation has maintained the Substrate Python API for four years.
The API includes libraries like py-substrate-interface and py-scale-codec, and Python bindings for Rust crates.
It allows Python developers to build apps for Polkadot, Kusama, and other Substrate-based chains.
Currently, it's the only Python API available for these chains.
Over 350 GitHub repositories and 31 Python packages depend on this API.
The foundation is requesting 9,831.25 EUR in retroactive funding for their work from January to March 2024.
