Deciding

Statescan is an explorer solution for substrate based chains. We have been serving polkadot/kusama and related chains since 2021. Compared to explorers like subscan, it provides a 100% open source solution and low cost candidate for ecosystem projects.

Besides polkadot/kusama relay and system para chains, followings chains has adopted statescan as their explores: Hyperbridge(Nexus, gargantua), Heima(Litentry), Laos, Crust Shadow, Argon, Ajuna, Frequency, Datahaven testnet, Cere, Interlay. There are also projects who deployed statescan by theirselves like Joystream and 3Dpass. Note our request only include the cost for polkadot/kusama/westend/paseo and their system para chains, no other chains.

A team member abstained due to internal affiliations, while other voters supported the proposal. They judged that the costs were within acceptable limits for the comprehensive maintenance, upgrades, and development outlined. It was noted that the explorer, having served multiple blockchain networks since 2021, provided invaluable data and transparency, making it a pivotal resource for the ecosystem. Voters recognized that Statescan’s affordability, combined with ongoing improvements, responsive support, and added functionalities, justified the expenditure.
