Project Category / Type: Software development, Infrastructure, and Network Operations
Short description: Polkadot discovery portal is designed to become a comprehensive directory for the entire Polkadot ecosystem, providing users with a functional platform to explore and extract meaningful data to fit their needs. A clean UI, JSON data sources, and pallet discovery feature for developers to search and filter pallets. Our goal is to streamline data flow for developers, node runners, researchers, and speculators. Users can independently verify the information and contribute to the dataset, with incentives for maintaining and updating the data.

Polkadot Discovery Portal was born out of one developer’s struggle with finding artifacts, binaries, docker images, and specs for the chains he wanted to test. Through the discussion with fellow community members, the idea grew and evolved into the project you see in front of you, intended as a comprehensive ecosystem discovery: to connect all the ecosystem actors, from big to small.
The Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem is not only about parachains and relay chains; it’s also about pallets, wallets, apps and Dapps, browser extensions, utility libraries, websites, etc. In one word this ecosystem is about community. Without good project discoverability, the community cannot find the information it needs.
Our aim is to make project discoverability seamless and simple. This way, everyone can access the information they need to contribute to the ecosystem's growth.
All for chain discovery on Polkadot & Kusama:
