产品形式过于简单,仅对 Polkadot 已有功能做了一些前端封装,没有发现其独特的产品优势,可以被其他同类型工具完全替代,建议增加独特产品功能/特性后,再进行申请。

个人感觉这个项目在生态中基本没有存在感,界面也比较简单,这些功能完全可以放在例如 subscan 这样的产品中,而不是国库同时资助多个数据分析平台。

Sorry but your assessment is not accurate, please review the documentation in more detail:

There is no Validator Addressing information in any Polkadot "feature". Node addressing needs a low level crawl of the P2P network, accessing the Distributed Hash Table in order to verify where authorities (Validators) live in the network.

This is something implemented by our toporacle rust component. Then crossed with premium geolocation data and offered to the ecosystem in form a APIs.

Subscan could never provide this feature, becasue subscan indexes the blockchain data and this information is not in the blockchain at all.

Ecosystem services, such as the staking dashboard can display polkawatch information using our API:
