Top-up Request for Previously Funded Proposal #53 (Analytics Platform Infrastructure)
Intro:
The need for quality insights and analysis is growing among DAOs. The Polkadex Analytics Platform provides a steady stream of relevant data and information for the Polkadex community to not only see how the Polkadex OrderBook is growing, but to also show it off to potential traders and the wider Polkadot and Crypto communities. The Analytics Platform also provides the Polkadex integrations with CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and DefiLlama.
Issue Faced:
In our initial proposal, we requested USD $2,970 to cover the infrastructure and general maintenance costs of the Analytics platform for Q3 and Q4 of 2024. However, due to a 54% decline in the price of PDEX during the 30-day treasury proposal enactment period, the funds received amounted to only $1,362.93, creating a significant shortfall to cover the platform&rsquo;s infrastructure expenses. To address this gap, we are requesting an additional payment of $1,607.06 to ensure continued operation of the Analytics platform through the end of December. A new proposal will be submitted in January to secure funding for the next six months.
Conclusion:
We acknowledge that market fluctuations are an inherent risk. Nonetheless, we believe that approving this top-up request will strengthen the project's sustainability and support the broader objectives we aim to achieve together.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
