- The Corespace Weigher Proposal aims to help developer teams work better on Polkadot by providing useful data on blockspace utilization.
- To make it easier for teams to know how much blockspace they need, a tool is being developed to track and store this data for parachains.
- The tool includes a web API that helps frontends access the consumption data, and a user interface (UI) will be created for easy analysis.
- The service will require a monthly payment in DOT (a type of digital currency) for parachain registration to cover operational costs, but the data will be free to the public.
- All the code made for this tool will be open source, allowing others to use it if they want to set up their own systems.
- Funding requested will pay for the work already done and for extra design and development tasks.
- The goal is to finish all components of the project within one month after approval.
