substrate-etl 2.0: Polkadot + Kusama Data on Dune (12 months, 3/15/24-3/14/25)

by Colorful Notion

Summary:

Colorful Notion proposes to onboard the Polkadot + Kusama relay chains by mid-March 2024, available for the community for at least 2 years. This proposal funds the first year after a PoC is completed in early 2024, for 3/15/24 - 3/14/25. Onboarding Polkadot will be Dune’s second non-EVM ecosystem integration, after Solana. Separate from this OpenGov proposal, Colorful Notion has negotiated pricing for all parachains with Dune, beyond the Polkadot and Kusama Relay Chain. This will enable Polkadot + Kusama Substrate data to be represented in Dune for both relay chains (using "polkadot" and "kusama") and all Polkadot parachains in an official integration with hourly indexing.

Current Progress and Comments:

The first proposal that competes with another planned project, in this case a future deployment by Parity data. Seemingly, the substrate-etl 2.0 dataset and team, composed by Colorful Notion was collaborating with Parity Data’s “Data Lake”. At some point and controversy about use of other team’s data (or lack of use) as well as other events caused a rift between these two teams from two organizations. Therefore, the substrate-etl 2.0 team created the proposal for the Polkadot datasets to integrate with the widely used Dune platform. At a cost of close to 2 million dollars, this makes the most expensive proposal ever funded by the treasury. Which according to Colorful Notion, it will only cost 400k USD for immediate delivery but we cannot be sure of that amount since Parity data has not presented the proposal to the future data bounty or we don’t have any idea about the actual operational costs of this integration.
