Discover a wide variety of apps, blockchains, wallets, and explorers, built on the Polkadot ecosystem by developers and contributors from across the globe.

   ### 1. Inspiration

Polkadot is home to parachains and app chains, with new ones being created every day. There is a growing need for a central hub where each parachain and app chain is covered and explained in simple terms for non-technical people.  Our vision is to create a unified hub that streamlines the discovery and engagement process for developers and users alike

### 2. Key Features

- **Search and Filter**: Advanced search and filtering options to find specific projects or categories.
- **Project Profiles**: Detailed project profiles with descriptions, team information, and links.
- **Real-Time Data**: Real-time updates and data aggregation from on-chain and off-chain sources.
- **Campaign Management**: Tools for creating and managing campaigns/quests with reward system

### 3. Why Polkadot Needs a Unified Platform for Discovery

Polkadot is home to parachains and app chains, with new ones being created every day. There is a growing need for a central hub where each parachain and app chain is covered and explained in simple terms for non-technical people. This unified platform would:

- Centralize Information: Provide a single place to discover all parachains and app chains.
