Subscan | Infrastructure Costs of Subscan for Kusama & Statemine (from July to December 2022)
This is a follow up proposal to what we submitted before:
Subscan is an essential block explorer and analytics tool for the Kusama & Statemine network, providing valuable insights to the Substrate 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 Kusama treasury to ensure its continuous operation and maintenance.
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 Kusama network. This time, we plan to apply for a total of 60,185 USD in Kusama, the amount of KSM will be converted based on the EMA7 price on the day of the official submission.
Billing details can be read here.
We sincerely hope to receive your support or feedback.

I support this spend and will vote AYE, but I am curious about one thing. Has Subscan considered using an advertisements/ subscription business model? Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the ad free explorer but I also wouldn't mind seeing ads if I knew that's how you supported the infrastructure. You could also offer a monthly subscription to users that don't want to see ads or want access to special features. Being that Subscan is the top explorer, I think a business model like this would help you become non-dependent on the Treasury. In any case I'm voting AYE because Subscan is a tool I use multiple times every single day. Thanks!
