Aye

We previously supported Polkawatch for its vital analytics, and we now approve their move to stablecoin funding, addressing earlier community concerns about DOT requests.

Aye

Beneficial for the ecosystem to track validator decentralization. I rejected the previous proposal because it was requesting DOT, I'm switching to aye. Thanks to the team for listening to community feedback.
