Retroactive Funding for JAM Search
Dear Polkadot Community,
We’re excited to submit our proposal for retroactive funding of the JAM Knowledge Base Search Engine—an open-source platform designed to unify and simplify access to JAM-related knowledge scattered across different data sources. With multiple search options, it significantly reduces the time JAM developers spend hunting for information, captures historical context from discussions, and lowers onboarding barriers for the 20+ teams building in the JAM ecosystem.
Try it out! JAM Search: https://search.fluffylabs.dev/

Hi,
There is a huge 10M $DOT JAM bounty, why should this work be funded by the Polkadot Treasury?
Thx in advance.
@SuperDupont-Nexus JAM Prize (see https://jam.web3.foundation/rules ) is solely focused on funding implementations of JAM client/node. While we (Fluffy Labs) are building a JAM implementation, this kind of tooling is complementary.
Search and other tools we've built and maintain (Reader, Debugger) were created to speed up the process of evolving Polkadot into JAM, by helping ourselves and other teams collaborate and build JAM clients.
While, as you pointed out, there are is a big JAM prize for the node implementations, turning Polkadot into JAM will require much more than just functional clients, and hence my belief is that tooling, ui and dev libraries, documentation, educational materials, etc are initiatives that are worth supporting.
Saxemberg has voted NAY on the Polkadot referendum 1724 Retroactive Funding for JAM Search. Observation: usually only highly requested and/or highly adopted tooling was scored high.
This referendum is eligible for vote overrule:
