It is encouraging to see Hydration’s infrastructure becoming stronger as the ecosystem continues to grow. We also fully recognize the excellent Hydration-specific features provided by this explorer.\n\nHowever, Subscan serves a different and complementary role. It is a standardized, general-purpose explorer with coverage across the broader Polkadot ecosystem. In particular, Subscan has ecosystem-wide advantages in areas such as XCM data, allowing users to follow and verify cross-chain activity.\n\nA mature ecosystem benefits from having multiple independent explorers. Ethereum, for example, is supported by Etherscan, Blockscout, and other explorers. Relying on only one provider creates a single point of failure: downtime, indexing errors, or data discrepancies become harder to identify without an independent source for comparison. Multiple explorers improve resilience, transparency, and accountability.\n\nWe therefore do not believe these two explorers should be viewed as substitutes. Hydration’s customized explorer provides strong network-specific functionality, while Subscan offers standardized services, independent verification, and broader cross-ecosystem data.\n\nIf budget is the main concern, we believe a defined review or transition period would be more appropriate than abruptly ending support. This would give the community time to evaluate actual usage, service continuity, and the impact on users before making a long-term decision.\n\nWe respectfully ask you to reconsider the `NAY` vote and support this proposal.\n","bodyFormat":"markdown","hidden":false,"hiddenReason":null,"deleted":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-19T06:41:03.834Z","editedAt":null,"revision":0,"upvotes":0,"source":{"name":"subsquare","id":"6a854fffaf0c7f74a37ccf35","cid":null,"height":6},"position":null,"media":{},"replies":[]}]},{"commentId":"s6a8424c7af0c7f74a37ccf31","parentId":null,"replyToId":null,"author":{"account":{"accountId":"0xa80395a1efab919fd53a347316a91f5c90da61825c32fd3e38476a9aa39d655e","address":"14oJ7MBzpY3ULtkWYFeVkEP4m2cmTtLtncHR9qaqWANfEf2y","emoji":"🦃","tag":null,"identity":{"display":"xupan","verified":false,"email":"","web":"","twitter":""},"profile":null},"legacyName":null},"body":"The quality is terrible; the responses in the comments section are worlds apart from how things are actually handled in the Telegram group.","bodyFormat":"markdown","hidden":false,"hiddenReason":null,"deleted":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-18T09:24:23.654Z","editedAt":null,"revision":0,"upvotes":0,"source":{"name":"subsquare","id":"6a8424c7af0c7f74a37ccf31","cid":null,"height":4},"position":{"side":"Aye","conviction":"Locked6x","balance":"1566786218046849921","weighted":"9400717308281099526"},"media":{},"replies":[{"commentId":"s6a855160af0c7f74a37ccf36","parentId":"s6a8424c7af0c7f74a37ccf31","replyToId":"s6a8424c7af0c7f74a37ccf31","author":{"account":{"accountId":"0x976ce4203c844a11164d1b3f8342ad16a4cc5d99ac8eaae5cd74f4b1cc68c764","address":"14RYaXRSqb9rPqMaAVp1UZW2czQ6dMNGMbvukwfifi6m8ZgZ","emoji":"🦕","tag":null,"identity":{"display":"SUBSCAN","verified":false,"email":"","web":"https://www.subscan.io/","twitter":"@subscan_io"},"profile":null},"legacyName":null},"body":"[@14oJ...Ef2y](/account/14oJ7MBzpY3ULtkWYFeVkEP4m2cmTtLtncHR9qaqWANfEf2y) Thanks for sharing this feedback.

That is a sign of growth, and we don’t see it as competition with Subscan.\n\nAt the same time, having two independent explorers is valuable. Hydration’s explorer offers customized features for the network, while Subscan provides a standardized experience, broader Polkadot ecosystem coverage, and XCM data. Users have more choice, data can be cross-checked, and the network is less dependent on a single service if one explorer has an issue.\n\nSubscan applies for funding periodically because running an explorer has ongoing costs, including infrastructure, indexing, monitoring, upgrades, and support. It is similar to a SaaS subscription—the cost is for keeping the service reliable over time, not only for building it once.\n\nWe don’t have visibility into how the other explorer is funded or whether it is intended to operate indefinitely as a public good, and every service naturally needs a sustainable model. Our point is simply that two explorers can serve different needs and make the Hydration ecosystem stronger together. We hope the community will consider this broader value when evaluating the proposal.\n","bodyFormat":"markdown","hidden":false,"hiddenReason":null,"deleted":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-19T06:53:21.787Z","editedAt":null,"revision":0,"upvotes":0,"source":{"name":"subsquare","id":"6a8552e1af0c7f74a37ccf38","cid":null,"height":8},"position":null,"media":{},"replies":[]}]},{"commentId":"s6a8bebc3af0c7f74a37ccf5b","parentId":null,"replyToId":null,"author":{"account":{"accountId":"0xd4ba5feb4ce148d807d30a6dc5e36284f956a43994ac773c274ea2bb5541ea66","address":"15ovWxBRypRPyNN4T9yEeB5T3G4xzhd2xVUw9jxkaQPKAVsb","emoji":"🦠","tag":null,"identity":null,"profile":null},"legacyName":null},"body":"Voted Aye because, in my opinion, a healthy ecosystem is a diverse ecosystem.\n\nSubscan services many in the Polkadot ecosystem, it’s not a zero-sum-game, and we should have multiple explorers and APIs.
