Overview
The Polkadot Ecosystem Atlas is a comprehensive portal covering the entire Polkadot ecosystem. Designed to unify, categorize, and contextualize all key elements, resources, and topics within Polkadot, this platform addresses some of the primary challenges faced by the community:
- Information Fragmentation: Consolidates hundreds of scattered resources into a single, curated and searchable atlas.
- Onboarding Friction: Offers curated pathways for newcomers to easily navigate the ecosystem.
- Resource Discovery: Connects developers, users, and projects through an extensive directory.

Why a Polkadot Ecosystem Atlas?
For newcomers and even seasoned participants, the Polkadot ecosystem can appear overwhelming. Similar to other blockchain environments, and even more so, it comprises a fragmented landscape of concepts, tools, projects, information sources, and niche communities, often existing in isolation.
Polkadot Ecosystem Atlas managed by Dablock serves as a comprehensive reference portal that functions both as a beginner’s gateway and an extensive content library. By compiling, categorizing, curating, and linking the majority of the ecosystem’s elements, we provide a single, accessible destination that showcases connections, clarifies context, and facilitates intuitive exploration.

1. Portal Structure, Content & Features
Unified Resource Center
This portal is dedicated to delivering a unified, comprehensive central resource of references, project directories, media, and content about the Polkadot ecosystem, all within a single user-friendly interface. It serves as an ideal complementary resource alongside other primary ecosystem portals, like the Polkadot Website (launched by Distractive), the Polkadot Devs Documentation (crafted by PaperMoon), the Polkadot Wiki (managed by the Web3Foundation education team) and even this forum (overseen by our wonderful community moderators).

5. Ideas and Pathways
Doing this things alone is neither fun nor advantageous ㋛. Building and scaling the Polkadot Ecosystem Atlas is a collaborative effort. Here are some pathways to enhance and expand the project:
-
Open Workgroup Establishment:
Establish an open workgroup among ecosystem contributors to oversee the long-term management, updates, and scaling of the portal, using a DAO governance model. Explore a preliminary Framework & Governance draft, based on the Technical Fellowship structure. -
Integrating Ambassadors, Creators, and Local Communities:
Align portal management with broader community initiatives by introducing regular child-bounties for specific tasks. This strategy encourages active participation and valuable contributions from diverse community members. A similar approach can be extended to other platforms, such as the Polkadot Wiki, to foster engagement and collaborative development across the ecosystem. -
Gamification:
Introduce gamified elements to enhance organization, incentivize participation, and scale collaborative workgroups. The Parity Tip Bot and Wagmedia Discord Bot are examples of tools that can help automate these processes by facilitating community management and reward distribution.
F.A.Q.
What about the branding?
The site’s branding, including its logo, is currently under review and may be updated. If there is no consensus within the community, it is highly likely that the official Polkadot logo will replace the current one in the near future.
Is content translated into other languages? Why is that still important?
Yes, we are actively working on translating content into multiple languages. Given that the Polkadot ecosystem is global, it is crucial to make this valuable information accessible to as many users as possible. By translating the portal, we aim to foster an inclusive environment and encourage cross-border collaboration.Currently, the content is available in English and is being translated into Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and French. We are also continuously working on expanding to more languages to reach even broader audiences.
Translating is a very important task that has never been well done before as it is scattered across unrelated individual personal blogs and has no prior context.
Translations should be done in collaboration with local communities and published on reference portals such as the Polkadot Wiki or the portal we are developing with Polkadot Atlas.
By working with local communities and publishing content on reputable platforms like the Polkadot Wiki and the Polkadot Atlas portal, we ensure that the distribution of translated content is well-organized and easily accessible for users. Giving this task true meaning and value.
