Funding Request
We kindly request funding support from the Hydration Treasury to cover the total amount due of US $6,814, and the amount of HDX will be converted based on the EMA7 price.
- Exchange Rate:
- Date: 2025-04-02 15:00:00 (+UTC), Block #7258691
- HDX EMA7 Price (USD): $0.011966
- Number of HDX: 569,446.765836
Securing this financial support will ensure the continued seamless functioning of the Hydration and sustain its growth and development.
Your consideration of this proposal is highly appreciated. For any further details or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your attention and support!
Additional Community Feedback
Additionally, we have received feedback from the community requesting to add balance history for all tokens. We are happy to develop this feature free of charge to enhance the user experience.
However, since Subscan’s pricing model is based on data volume, and the Hydra network includes a large number of tokens and accounts—with the potential for continued growth—we estimate that enabling this feature will result in an additional annual cost of approximately $400.
If this aligns with the community's expectations, we will proceed with development and complete the integration by April 2025.
- Subscan helps Hydration by keeping its website running smoothly.
- They use computers, store data, and fix problems quickly.
- There are different price plans based on how much data is used.
- Hydration used about 250 GB in late 2024 and 277 GB in early 2025.
- They are asking for $6,814 to pay for these services.
- The payment will be made in HDX coins.
- People asked for a new feature to track token balances.
- Subscan will add this feature for free but it might cost $400 more per year.
I would like to see in the proposal the costs incurred by projects such as Polka Treasury and Hydration for this
Could this not be paid in stablecoins from the treasury instead of HDX ? I believe HDX is currently severely undervalued due to the current market trend and this is a lot of HDX for a relatively small amount in the end.
