This is amazing news, I am glad to hear it. I want to point out a number of issues here that are in my opinion extremely low-hanging fruit, but will go a long way:

  • Suggest stakers to use nomination pools · Issue #7902 · polkadot-js/apps · GitHub and in general encourage all stakers to NOT use /apps/staking unless if they are power users. Instead, ask them to use nomination pools, preferably through other platforms.
  • rename and rebrand the App to Console, and, similarly, express very clearly that this is not the wallet/app that is meant for new joiners to the ecosystem. See Consider re-branding the `Apps` to `Console` · Issue #8971 · polkadot-js/apps · GitHub
  • Provide one new package that is meant to make the process of building multichain scenarios easier, such as @polkadot/multichain or similar.
    • List of all parachains, their RPC, their token symbol, decimals, etc
    • List of all open channels
    • Preludes for sending common cross chain XCMs.
    • At the moment as far as I know this either non-existent, or buried in the depth of @apps/config package, which is hard to pull.
