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 block explorer that provides data for validators and nominators in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. It helps users by providing comprehensive metrics, charts, and utilities to improve their knowledge and performance.
PolkaStats was created by a crypto community called La Colmena in southern Spain. The community aims to incentivize content-creation in Spanish for Polkadot, Kusama, and other blockchain projects and develop software to contribute to the ecosystem.
PolkaStats is different from other explorers because it focuses on Proof of Stake chains only, is a Javascript-based block explorer, utilizes Vue.js/Nuxt.js frameworks used in frontend, and allows Incipient wallet functionalities.
The spending proposal for the period of 17.12.2020 - 17.03.2021 is 6.27 KSM, which will be used to pay the servers rented from Hetzer and Digital Ocean to operate PolkaStats for Kusama and Westend network.
In the last month, the Kusama version of PolkaStats had 2,800 unique users and 4,500 sessions from 89 different countries.
