SubVT is a native mobile application for iOS and Android phones, tablets and wearables that provides node operators with tools that aid them in running their validators on any Substrate-based blockchain network.

Please find below the deliverables for milestones 1-3 (covered by motion 326), information on the ongoing work, and outstanding items for milestones 4-5.

This spending proposal is to cover the expenses of milestones 4-5, 18,680.00 EUR as planned in the initial spending proposal document, equivalent to 82.2314 KSM with the EUR-USD and USD-KSM (EMA30) exchange rates of 24.02.2022.

We're planning to begin open beta testing in early May initially on Polkadot and Kusama, and release mid-June as we continue with support for more networks and feature updates.

Beta testing & QA.

SubVT is a mobile app for iOS and Android devices that helps node operators run validators on Substrate-based blockchain networks.

The app is currently in development and will be released in mid-June, with open beta testing starting in early May on Polkadot and Kusama.

The project has already completed Milestones 1-3, which included creating reports, documentation, branding, design assets, and service specifications.

The ongoing work includes developing time-series database queries, integration tests, notification templates, and data access frameworks for iOS and Android.

Milestones 4 and 5 will involve completing the app development, working with the design team, and conducting alpha and beta testing.
