Hi Community,
We recently launched Polkawatch decentralization analytics on Kusama, and Nomination Pools support.
The community is becoming more and more aware of the need for effective decentralization in our Ecosystem.
The interest peaked with a recent deplatforming event of Solana nodes by a Network operator.
We are been contacted by other teams of our community: Wallets, Parachains, Data Scientists, etc That want access to the data and help contribute to bringing awareness to the ecosystem. Which I think is good news.
Parachains are secured by the rely chain, but they are still vulnerable to censorship. Censorship could come from dishonest collators, deplatforming from network operators or sudden regulatory changes from hosting Countries. Despite been secured by the rely chain, parachains would benefit from decentralization analytics too.
On this proposal we aim to bring parachain support for Polkawatch, on top of continued operation of the service and other minor improvements.
The proposal has been for discussion here.
We were invited to participate in AAG#11 where an interesting discussion followed
Community feedback has been incorporated to the proposal.
You can access the detailed proposal here.
Polkawatch has recently launched decentralization analytics on Kusama and support for Nomination Pools. The community is becoming more aware of the importance of decentralization in the ecosystem. Interest has increased due to a recent deplatforming event of Solana nodes by a network operator. Other teams, such as Wallets, Parachains, and Data Scientists, are also interested in accessing the data to help raise awareness. Parachains, while secured by the relay chain, are still vulnerable to censorship and would benefit from decentralization analytics. Polkawatch aims to bring parachain support to their platform, along with continued operation and minor improvements. The proposal has been discussed and community feedback has been incorporated.
