Dear Polkadot community,
We are excited to introduce our next initiative, focused on building comprehensive and standardized datasets and metrics for the Polkadot ecosystem. Building on the success of our first project, this initiative aims to expand distribution, and enable deeper insights for analysts, developers, and investors.
Full proposal details ➡️ [here]
1. Executive summary
A key challenge with current public Polkadot datasets is their insufficient level of standardization and depth, which limits the ability to calculate essential financial and business KPIs.
This proposal introduces two major improvements:
i) The transition from basic to standardized metrics. Our goal is to increase the depth, usability, and standardization of metrics, evolving from raw blockchain data to fully standardized financial and business KPIs for the leading parachains.
ii) Increased distribution. In addition to improving the quality and depth of metrics available on Token Terminal, this proposal also includes expanded distribution through the Google Web3 Marketplace. In practice, this means providing public access to all Polkadot data within Token Terminal’s data warehouse.
The growth of the Polkadot ecosystem is driven by a sophisticated community of developers, analysts, researchers, and investors. By providing high-quality, standardized datasets and metrics, this initiative strengthens Polkadot’s institutional brand, positioning its native asset, DOT, as a natural inclusion in institutional portfolios and a potential target for the next ETF.
2. Background
Since launching in 2020, Token Terminal has established itself as a trusted partner in the crypto data analytics space, known for:
3. Roadmap & Economics
Milestone 1 – Q1 ‘25: $351K Publish basic datasets and metrics for top 20 parachains on Google Web3 Marketplace and Token Terminal’s data platform.
Milestone 2 – Q2 ‘25: $354K Upgrade top 20 basic datasets and metrics to standardized format across both platforms.
Milestone 3 – Q3-Q4 ‘25: $300K Maintain standardized datasets and metrics for top 20 parachains across both platforms.
Total Grant Size: $1,005,000 (paid in USDT)
We look forward to your feedback and suggestions on this proposal. For more details, see the full proposal and attached deck ➡️ [here].

Token Terminal has introduced a new initiative to create comprehensive and standardized datasets and metrics for the Polkadot ecosystem. The proposal aims to improve the standardization and depth of public Polkadot datasets, which are currently insufficient. The initiative includes two major improvements: transitioning from basic to standardized metrics and increasing distribution. The standardized metrics will require significant transformation work by the research team, involving in-depth parachain-specific research and ongoing maintenance. The initiative also includes expanded distribution through the Google Web3 Marketplace, providing public access to all Polkadot data within Token Terminal's data warehouse. The total grant size for the project is $1,005,000, paid in USDT.
