Polkawatch, Decentralization Analytics, Retroactive Infrastructure and Maintenance Q1-Q3 2024
Hi Community,
We recently released DHT p2p lookups, Premium Geolocation and Decentralization Analytics of your nomination inside Polkadot Staking Dashboard:
Bringing polkawatch analytics closer to every nominator, where decentralization actually takes place.
In line with our promotion strategy, integration in ecosystem projects, usage of Polkawatch has grown significantly:
Over the last 12 months, we have delivered over 20K decentralization reports to more than 7K nominators. (Excludes API usage).
A significant portion of DOT nominators care about decentralization, review their nominations and act accordingly and openly:
Polkawatch was inittially backed by Web3 foundation, and developed with support of both Kusama and Polkadot treasuries.
We delivered 100% of our past milestones, and systematically report and contain recurrent costs, as a result the cost of maintaining Polkawatch is roughly USD 3.5K per month (or 0.5 USD per user/month) including full archive nodes of Relay and People chains.
We are looking to (most of it) retroactively fund continued operation and maintenance of Polkawatch for Q1-Q3 2024.
You can Download our detailed proposal for further detail.
