**Short description:** Parachains.info provides users of the Polkadot ecosystem with a centralised repository of unbiased information regarding parachain projects and auctions.  This proposal seeks to obtain funding for the continued operation, maintenance and development of the website. 

**Problem Statement:**
Parachains are a fundamental aspect of the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.  It can however be a daunting task to find information on these projects or to compare them directly.  This is prevalent during auction periods in which would-be crowd loaners examine prospective candidates. 

The auction mechanism within the ecosystem also has some complexities, it possesses two phases and a random bid winner assessment point.  Present auction interfaces focus primarily on which project has raised the most capital.  There was no public tool that represented the auction events on a timeline.  This representation was useful when examining the events of auction nine (9), in which a project won due to the timing of the candle end.
