### Summary

- **Polkadot's Nominators**: Play a key role in the network's security and decentralization.
- **NPOS Approach**: Requires nominators to actively choose the best nodes, with high APY rewards for successful actions.
- **Challenges**: Many nominators behave suboptimally, risking disincentivization (loss of rewards or slashing).
- **Research Findings**: 
  - More "regular accounts" are participating, reducing the dominance of "whales".
  - Many nominators are near the disincentivization threshold.
  - Suboptimal behavior leads to nominators losing their active status.
- **Proposed Solution**: Implement nominator leaderboards to showcase optimal actions and improve decision-making.
- **Benefits**: 
  - Helps nominators self-educate and benchmark their performance.
  - Enhances decentralization and community engagement.
- **Team**: Specializes in web3 user behavior research and has experience with blockchain data analysis.

Motif proposes to implement nominator leaderboards, dashboards that visualize nominator behavior, offering a comprehensive view of actions and results within the Polkadot system. This tool aims to prompt nominators to act before facing disincentivization, thus softening the tool's impact without compromising its efficacy. The proposed solution will include Nominator, Validator, and Nomination Pool Dashboards. The team has relevant experience with different methods of blockchain research and will implement the interface in the form of a desktop web app.
