Polkadot <> Merkle Science - Proposal #1586: Milestone Progress & Updates

Dear Polkadot Community,

This thread will serve as a central place to share updates and progress on Referendum #1586, which was recently approved through OpenGov. We’ll be using this space to keep the community informed as we work through each milestone, share key developments, and invite your feedback along the way.

We’re excited to get started and appreciate your support and insights throughout the process.

Stay tuned!

Thanks,

Hello team,

We are on track to deliver on milestone 1. The data should be ready within the next week. After that, we’ll proceed with clustering, product development, and testing, which we expect to take another 1–2 weeks before release.

Current focus areas include:

  • Parsing raw data

  • Selecting non-native assets to support

  • Handling ledger updates to include cross-chain transfers

Community Update – Grant Progress

We are pleased to share that we are on schedule (and slightly ahead) with the milestones committed to in our grant document.

The first milestone required us to index AssetHub data. As of 19th September, we have successfully completed this milestone. The indexer now supports both batch mode and streaming mode and currently covers events emitted by the following pallets:

  • Assets

  • Balances

  • ForeignAssets

  • Claims

  • Staking

  • Treasury

In addition, the indexer supports both Assets and ForeignAssets, with coverage extending to 81 assets in total (including 31 foreign assets). An exhaustive list has been attached to this update for reference.

Our next focus is wallet attribution and data collection to enrich this indexed data. We expect these enhancements to be integrated into our product suites within the next 2–3 weeks, and they will be made available to ecosystem members well before the completion of the next milestone date, scheduled for the end of October.

We thank the community for the continued support and look forward to sharing further progress soon.
