### Polkawatch Proposal Summary

- Polkawatch recently launched decentralization analytics on Kusama and added Nomination Pools support.
- The community is increasingly aware of the importance of decentralization, sparked by a recent deplatforming event of Solana nodes.
- Other teams, including wallets, parachains, and data scientists, are interested in accessing Polkawatch data to raise awareness in the ecosystem.
- Parachains, while secured by the relay chain, are still vulnerable to censorship from dishonest collators, network operators, or regulatory changes.
- This proposal aims to extend Polkawatch support to parachains, continue service operations, and make minor improvements.
- The proposal has been discussed and feedback has been incorporated.
- A detailed version of the proposal is available [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ljvYDuazbNBgjf94yFUbUEdeyBN5ixG6BXAEKxuxmL4/edit?usp=sharing).
- An extraordinary fee for re-submission costs has been included.

### Ordum: Public Good Grants Aggregator

- **Purpose**: Ordum aims to create a public good grants aggregator for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, focusing on R&D funding.
- **Current Issue**: Existing grant management tools like Gitcoin are insufficient for the needs of web3 ecosystems, leading to scattered information and difficulties in tracking funding.
- **Problem**: Treasuries and foundations have excess funds due to a lack of projects, and grant information is hard to find and manage.
- **Solution**: Ordum proposes a decentralized application (dapp) to index and manage grants, including features like custom APIs, light clients, and integration with Github.
- **Milestone Certificates**: Non-transferable NFTs will be minted to certify completed milestones, enhancing transparency and accountability.
- **Transparency**: Grant applications, funding, and milestones will be displayed on team profiles for public viewing.
- **User Experience**: Surveys and feedback will be used to optimize the UX for managing treasury grants.
- **Funding Request**: Ordum seeks $78,804 for development, with a Kusama rate of 25.24 as of November 24, 2022.

Ordum proposes to build a public goods grant aggregator for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems to solve the scattered information and lack of software for managing grants. They plan to create a dapp, mint non-transferable NFTs, display milestones and funding on a team's profile, and issue surveys for optimal grant management. They request funding of 78,804 USD and aim to deliver a V1 POC of the aggregator.
