#20 · Subscan | Infrastructure Costs of Subscan for Polkadot & Westend & Rococo & Statemint & Rockmine Networks (from July to December 2022)

> This is a follow up proposal to what we submitted before: #151 Subscan | Infrastructure Costs of Subscan for Polkadot & Westend & Rococo Networks

> This proposal was converted into motion#419 and passed with 8 votes. However, it appears that an executed error occurred with motion #419, potentially due to the recent upgrade of the opengov system. For error detailed, please refer to here.

Overview

Subscan is an essential block explorer and analytics tool for the Polkadot network, providing valuable insights to the Polkadot community. However, the maintenance and operation of Subscan requires a significant investment of resources, including server infrastructure, security, and personnel costs. Therefore, we propose reimbursing the operation and maintenance fee for Subscan from July to December 2022 from the Polkadot treasury to ensure its continuous operation and maintenance.

Total

We believe that this reimbursement proposal will help to ensure the continuous operation and maintenance of Subscan, and benefit the growth and development of the Polkadot network. This time, we plan to apply for a total of 190,244 USD in Polkadot, the amount of DOT will be converted based on the EMA7 price on the day of the official submission.

Billing details can be read here.

We fully understand the necessity and unforeseen nature of the opengov upgrade. Consequently, I am resubmitting the opengov referenda in accordance with the most up-to-date EMA7 exchange rate. We sincerely hope to receive your support or feedback.

I would strongly encourage to move away from abyssal cost that GCP represents, there are ways to reduce these kind of invoices by 5x to 10x

@8f7646545c89438caccffa203

Hi there, thanks for your suggestion. I am the DevOps engineer of Subscan. Do you have any specific recommendations for the alternative platform of GCP? We would be happy to hear your thoughts and reduce the bills by 5x.

Subscan also provides services to the Encointer network on Kusama. As this is a Polkadot treasury proposal, this may seem off-topic, but we'd like to have a discussion on the decentralization of common good chains in general. And we'd like to give a suggestion to subscan for their next treasury proposal.

As we write this comment, the Encointer association pays for subscan's services directly through an invoice. We think this is not how it should be and we'd like to publicly request from subscan to include the encointer network along with their own treasury proposals for other common good / relay chains.

The reasoning is: The subscan indexer is an important part of the encointer dev experience. If the encointer ecosystem is to be decentralized, it is not a good setup that essential services are paid by a legal entity which can be censored or disappear (the Encointer association).

@encointer It's a good topic, and we'd love to hear opinions from council and community！
