Dear Community!

[Polkawatch](https://kusama.polkawatch.app/) provides decentralization analytics for Kusama.

We recently delivered improved observability for Polkawatch based on Node-Red, improved its plugin, and shared it all with our community in a [blog post](https://blog.polkawatch.app/polkawatch-observability/) in case anyone finds it useful.

We also added Parachain Support, including those based on Aura consensus, and included decentralization analytics for [Statemine](https://statemine.polkawatch.app/), sharing it in another [blog post](https://blog.polkawatch.app/parachain-support-statemine/).

Along the process we found [2 issues](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6696) in Polkadot/substrate, and collaborated with the developer teams during the resolution.

We also implemented community feedback, adding Scaleway as redundant IPFS endpoint, instead of using only Hetzner.

We are now seeking for 9 months Continued operation for Polkawatch.

The proposal has been created in a context in which our Treasure is constrained. As such we have deferred new developments and claim operational costs only after 50% has been delivered, in an attempt to contribute to improve the cash-flow position of our Treasury.

You can find all the details in our [detailed proposal](https://pwh.li/ksm23q13pf), and do not hesitate to provide additional feedback.
