Hi all,
I would like to submit another proposal to cover PolkaStats operation costs for Kusama for the period 17.12.2020 - 17.03.2021.
PolkaStats is a Substrate block explorer aiming to provide the best staking and economic data for both validators and nominators. It helps both types of users by providing comprehensive metrics, charts and utilities to improve their knowledge and performance.
PolkaStats is one of the projects that was born in La Colmena, a crypto community based in Sevilla, southern Spain. The community aims to incentivize content-creation in Spanish for Polkadot, Kusama and other blockchain projects and, as supporters of open source culture, develop software to contribute to the ecosystem. The organization also acts like an incubator that helped create blockchain business models like DragonStake or Delega Networks validators.
One year after starting the project in La Colmena it is certain to say that PolkaStats development also helped us learn and understand more about the Substrate framework and substrate-based chains.
Although there are currently already some very good Substrate explorers in the ecosystem, PolkaStats has a different perspective to offer in order to increase diversity among the existing solutions. PolkaStats differentiates from other explorers in:

PolkaStats is a Substrate block explorer that provides staking and economic data for validators and nominators. It was created in La Colmena, a crypto community in Spain, and focuses on Proof of Stake chains. PolkaStats is different from other explorers because it is JavaScript-based, uses Vue.js/Nuxt.js frameworks, and allows wallet functionalities.
PolkaStats has 2,800 unique users and 4,500 sessions per month, with visitors from 89 countries. The project is asking for funds to cover operational expenses from December 17, 2020, to March 17, 2021, which totals to 6.27 KSM. The funds will be used to pay for server rentals to operate PolkaStats for Kusama and Westend networks.
