Short description: Ongoing & advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in Q3 and Q4 of 2024 for Polkadex Parachain.

Why are Public RPC Services Needed for Polkadex Parachain
=========================================================

Setting up blockchain infrastructure is difficult, time consuming, and expensive:

- It requires a level of server development expertise that many do not have
- It's costly to run a full node nearly continuously, especially when your dApp's traffic is low and inconsistent.
- Running production level infrastructure is especially tricky. You need to autoscale quickly to handle bursty traffic, and you want to provide services in different regions around the world to provide low latency services - all of this is incredibly costly, but comes with significant economies of scale for a provider.
- DevOps requires constant attention - time that would be better spent elsewhere building.

A shared node API service helps mitigate these barriers of entry to trying accessing a new protocol by reducing all these costs to near zero. We manage all the nodes for our users and distribute them across the world (with intelligent routing) to achieve global scalability from day 1, we monitor each node and ensure that they meet certain service levels, and we have the expertise and scale to handle production workloads and high peak traffic.

In summary, we try to reduce the pain of getting started on Polkadex and minimise the costs of accessing secure nodes while traffic from your dApp is low. When you grow, you can continue to use our shared API service, or we also provide access to one click deploy dedicated polkadex nodes to any cloud of your choosing.

OnFinality's RPC Service
========================

As Polkadot's largest and most cost efficient infrastructure provider, this proposal will support OnFinality's free public API services for the Polkadex community. Since our inception in November 2020 we have a long track record focussing on three key areas; performance/reliability, providing more value from our Ultimate API service, and cost optimisation.

Performance/Reliability
-----------------------

OnFinality is operationally striving for a minimum of 99.99% reliability, which means less than an hour of downtime each year. We are the only RPC provider to guarantee this with actual financial penalties. We proudly display and share our 90 day uptime statistics for each network publicly here.

We have invested hugely into a team dedicated to optimising our application gateway and caching layer to ensure that we provide the fastest possible service for our customers. We run clusters in 5 different regions (North Virginia, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong) and across 4 different infrastructure providers (AWS, GCP, Alicloud, and our own dedicated hardware) to ensure that we are fault tolerant to any single region or cloud provider ceasing service.

Cost Optimisation & Decentralistion
-----------------------------------

OnFinality's Polkadex Parachain API is running entirely on OnFinality Cloud - North Virginia, our own private hardware and self service Cloud This allows us to support the decentralisation of the Polkadex Network while delivering exceptional performance at a competitive price.

Service Details
===============

Our Polkadex Parachain API service commenced on 16th August 2023. Over the past 6 months (From 2024-01-01 to 2024-06-30) it has

- Served a total of 1.6 Billion (1,683,882,678) responses
- The highest daily total was 54 Million responses (54,727,292) in a single 24 hour period
- Our rolling 7 day average at the end of this period was over 31 Million (31,797,141) responses each day

At the end of June the uptime over the past 90 days was 99.65%. You can always see live data of our API service on our public status page.

Costings
========

We are using a fixed price to allow us to bill in advance and to simplify the administration of this proposal, as well as provide cost clarity to both parties. This proposal includes combined running costs for our infrastructure for Polkadex for Q3 and Q4 2024. A 15% discount has been applied for pre-paying 6 months of service in advance.

The total combined running cost is USD $3,162.00. This is all inclusive of capital and operating expenses, administration time from OnFinality DevOps, onboarding costs, backup costs, and all other monitoring and right-sizing by our team.

Service Details
===============

In the last 6 months (2024-01-01 and 2024-06-30) our Polkadex API service has:

- Served a total of 4 Billion (4,066,299,768) responses
- Accumulated over 4,000 GB of data egress
- The highest daily total was 138 million responses (138,375,377) in a single 24 hour period
- Our rolling 7 day average at the end of this period was over 36 million responses each day
- All time totals for Polkadex is 5.2 Billion (5,210,778,101) since March, 2022

At the end of this period the 90 day uptime for Polkadex was 99.77%. You can always see live data of our API service on our public status page.

Costings
========

We are using a fixed price to allow us to bill in advance and to simplify the administration of this proposal, as well as provide cost clarity to both parties. This proposal includes combined running costs for our infrastructure for Polkadex for all of Q2 and Q3 2024. By paying 6 months up-front we will apply a 15% discount to our services. An additional 10% discount has been applied for not meeting the 99.9% Uptime SLA target over the past 3 months.

The total combined running cost is USD $6,100.11 after discounts. This is all inclusive of capital and operating expenses, administration time from OnFinality DevOps, onboarding costs, backup costs, and all other monitoring and right-sizing by our team. The base price change from the previous period is due to the storage per node increasing from 133GB in January 2024 to 299GB.

#2440 OnFinality | High Performance Public Infrastructure for Polkadex Solochain (Q3 & Q4 2024)

## Proposal for $3000 in PDEX at the 7 day average of $0.5167 price, for development work and consultation for PolkaPool.

Hello Polkadex community, this is ClusterCuss, I hope most of you know me as I have always tried to be around and help in the community as much as possible over the years. Over the last couple months I have been working with the core contributors to hep make an interface for PolkaPool, allowing for the swapping of assets and the addition and removal of liquidity from pools. This has allowed the community to crate and fund pools for:

- ASTR
- iBTC
- USDT
- GLMR
- PHA
- and most recently BNC

Allowing new orderbook users to come in with any of those assets and be auto swapped into the PDEX they need to get going.

Over the course of a couple weeks I was able to work with the team to test and develop the API needed to get the information for the PolkaPool interface. I then made the prototype that is available on https://polkapool.trade/ 

While most users will not interact with these pools directly the Core contributors and myself believed an interface that allowed the community to fund these pools and also for arbitragers to keep the pools in sync with the outside world was an important milestone to implement the very important to the orderbook Autoswap functionality.

I am asking for $3000 for the serves rendered getting the PolkaPool interface up and running so AutoSwap could be completed.

CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko Exchange Integration Proposal for Polkadex

The idea is to create a script to distribute 1.1 PDEX to all addresses which contributed to the Polkadex crowdloan. 

This would relieve some of the issues people are facing when attempting to obtain 1.1+ PDEX prior to claiming. 

A referendum would be needed to retrieve funds from the treasury.

Hi Everyone;
The need for quality insights and analysis is growing among DAOs. Based on a request to the community from the Polkadex team ⁠on Discord, my software company has have put together a proposal to build a custom analytics platform for Polkadex. The dashboard we propose will be able to provide 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 full proposal can be read here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsqC7d3I6hgaysCOop6s3GyxK0tbRznF0eRL1Befzx8/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsqC7d3I6hgaysCOop6s3GyxK0tbRznF0eRL1Befzx8/edit?usp=sharing</a>

We are ready to shape this proposal together with the community&rsquo;s feedback and bring it forward.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts.
Thanks!

PDEX Rewards for Polkadex Crowdloan #2 Proposal

Hey everyone,
Just starting an initial discussion around Polkadex&rsquo;s $PINK allocation. For those following DotSama news, PINK is a new upcoming meme coin that will be launched on Polkadot&rsquo;s asset hub. For more information, please see <a href="https://dotispink.xyz/">https://dotispink.xyz/</a>
Parachains that took the initiative and registered $PINK as an asset and have an open XCM channel with AssetHub will be granted a portion of the $PINK total supply from the PINK team. Polkadex was the 10th chain to complete these requirements and with that we will receive 0.48% of the $PINK total supply (0.48% is approximately 11M tokens).
&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s up to the community to decide how these tokens will be used!
&nbsp;
My initial proposition:
<ul>
<li class="p2">50%: Reserved for liquidity for a PINK/USDT trading pair</li>
<li class="p2">25%: Airdropped to users of the OrderBook in order to incentivize trading on the platform</li>
<li class="p2">25%: Airdropped to Polkadex stakers to reward long term holders</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Note: The PINK tokenomics also have large portion reserved for pools and DEX's. If we were to receive liquidity directly from this fund we would not need to reserve any from the 0.48% parachain grant.
&nbsp;
What are your thoughts?

Polkadex Analytics Dashboard Infrastructure - Q1/Q2 2024

CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko Exchange Integration Proposal for Polkadex

Intro:

In response to the need for integrating Polkadex as an exchange in both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, we propose to complete the technical requirements outlined by both platforms. By helping to complete this integration, our aim is to furnish their users with a wealth of comprehensive and current data pertaining to Polkadex trading pairs, volumes, liquidity, and other pertinent metrics all sourced from the Polkadex Analytics platform. This initiative will significantly enhance the visibility, credibility, and marketability of Polkadex on both platforms, ultimately helping to contribute to its long-term success and adoption.

Infrastructure proposal for Analytics Platform and CoinMarketCap/CoinGecko/DefiLlama Integrations (Q3/Q4 2024)

Proponent: esm99RRxKvainDsRR6UHRcju4vNnAw1ouZEw64Yfn12tc6HpQ
Date: Oct 2 2024
Amount Requested: $1607.06 (11136.93 PDEX)
Short description: We are reaching out to kindly request additional funding to support our previously funded proposal. This request arises from unforeseen market fluctuations that have impacted our budget and jeopardized the quality of our project delivery.

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.

Top-Up Request for Previously Funded Proposal #53

The goal of this proposal is to create a new bot to help increase the overall visibility of Polkdex’s governance mechanism and encourage user participation in referendums. This will be done by introducing a new [@pdex_governance](https://twitter.com/pdex_governance) twitter bot that will automatically inform the community when important events are occurring. Users can then retweet or share the announcements to increase referenda visibility and proposers will have better chances at reaching quorum.

The bot will initially include support for the following announcement types:

🏦 New treasury proposal #159 has been submitted for 2394.81 PDEX

🏛️ New council motion #253 submitted (treasury.approveProposal)

🏛️ New technical committee proposal #24 submitted (democracy.fastTrack)

🏦 Treasury proposal #160 has been approved by the Polkadex Council

🗳 New proposal #99 has been submitted for community endorsement

🗳 Referendum #226 is now up for community voting

⏳ Referendum #226 has 24 hours left for voting!

⌛ Referendum #226 has only one hour left for voting!

✅ Referendum #226 has been approved by community voting

⛔ Referendum #226 did not pass community voting

Posts will be linked directly to referenced item on Polkassembly.

Example:
[https://twitter.com/pdex_governance/status/1567238555335794688](https://twitter.com/pdex_governance/status/1567238555335794688)
![](https://i.ibb.co/nzJGvfv/Screen-Shot-2022-09-07-at-11-43-33-AM.png)


**Sept 5 Update**:  We have decided to also include Reddit support in this initial release. All of the same notifications will also be posted to [r/Polkadex](https://www.reddit.com/r/polkadex/) by the [pdex_governance](https://www.reddit.com/user/pdex_governance/) reddit user. Targeting both social networks will ensure maximum visibility into governance matters.

**Sept 7 Update**:  A few additional announcement types were added to the previous list (tech committee proposals for example, 24h reminder for referenda, etc.)

The development of the bot is already in progress and a basic proof of concept is starting to wrap up (work still needs to be done in incorporate a lot of the different types of alerts). This proposal seeks funding for the amount of $3,000 for the development and setup work. There will be no operational costs.

This draft is being created to gauge interest from the community before submitting any actual requests on chain.

I encourage you to leave your comment below.

Based on a request to the community from Pablo ⁠on Discord, my software company has have put together a proposal to build a custom analytics platform for Polkadex. The dashboard we propose will be able to provide 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.
