AI Summary

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.
