The Challenge
Ink! dApp builders working in Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems are one of the most important growth factor to attract new users and increase adoption of the ecosystem. We agree with the statement that:
"As a Polkadot ecosystem, we should push Ink! more(than EVM) to make Polkadot native use cases that leverage Polkadot’s technologies."
Currently, Ink! dApp builders can't easily access their smart contract data which effectively defocuses them from developing their dApps.
They need to spend hundreds of hours, building and maintaining in-house analytics solutions which usually delivers almost no growth-focused insights. Therefore, to attract and support Ink! creators, we need to build solutions that will allow them to focus on growing their dApps.
The Solution
Tokenguard proposes building dApp Marvels 💎 - an on-chain analytics tool designed for Ink! dApps builders to support their growth and operations through in-depth metrics and analytics of on-chain user behavior.
dApp Marvels will help to attract users to the Polkadot ecosystem more effectively and support Ink! creators in infrastructure development.
The Team
The proposed solution is a result of careful discovery process and discussions with numerous Ink! teams - including Aleph Zero, Astar, AZero ID, Interlock, Panjea and others.
Tokenguard team has ultimate experience in Substrate and Ink! technology, delivering analytics to parachains and community.
We value your feedback and are looking forward to support the ecosystem 🔥

It's an interesting proposal. My immediate question is, what limitations if any currently are there with handling complex ABI's? Follow-on, how do you plan to fund the subsquid cost (and other costs) in the future? I imagine that cost will further grow as adoption does.
Thanks for your questions @0xtaylor_
Until now, Subsquid has developed an automated tool that generates code for the indexer, it works well and parses successfully, but is limited to EVM abi. Currently for Ink!/wasm contracts the generator encounters error and doesn’t work properly. The source code for this tool is open source and can be customized to meet the specific requirements of ABI Ink. This customization aligns with our primary goal for the initial phase of this project. Additionally we are in touch with Subsquid team for that purpose.
In this proposal, we focus on providing reusable infrastructure that will allow any analytical tool to connect the "dApp Marvels" module and display insight about Ink! Smart Contracts. Therefore, we do not apply for coverage of maintenance costs.
The integration of this module in Tokenguard app and maintenance costs related to it are currently covered by other sources/grants and are not related to this proposal. If this changes, we will inform the community.
Nice! About time that Ink! got as much traction as EVM
