Explorer Bounty Umbrella: Bug Fixes and UX Improvements

Who had this problem, and how do you know?

All bugs and feature requests were tickets that already existed in the Explorer repo. Two were created by @rickstaa, and the third was a bug reported by someone who created a governance proposal, but did not see it appear in the Explorer after creation.

Tickets can be viewed through the Bounty Umbrella issue ticket.

Who is already using this, and can they confirm it?

“Wrong Network indicator on /migrate only appears after page refresh” and “Preserve Explorer State on Back Navigation” were approved by the person who originally put up the ticket, and “LIPs do not immediately appear in Create a Poll” was validated by @rickstaa as resolved, as can be seen here.

The Discord thread, for those wanting to view the discussion, is here.

What was built and why?

2 bugs and 1 feature, all for the Explorer:

  • Bug 1 fix: adds a route-aware “Wrong Network” pill so users still get the correct chain warning for migrate vs. explorer pages
  • Bug 2 fix : updates Create Poll so eligible LIPs are loaded at runtime through a short-cached API route instead of being baked into the page with ISR
  • Feature description: preserves orchestrator list browsing context when navigating into an orchestrator account and returning with Back

Link to the work.

Amount requested.

Requesting $1k USD-equivalent.

:white_check_mark: AI Pre-Screen — Retro Grant Review

Application: Explorer Bounty Umbrella: Bug Fixes and UX Improvements Applicant: @ECWireless · Amount: $1,000 USD (LPT) · Category: Retroactive Grant Applications

Screened against the Retro Grants Funding Process rubric.

Scope — [Delegators] Governance & Network Observability :white_check_mark: In scope. Explorer bug fixes and UX improvements.

Work shipped :white_check_mark: Three merged PRs — #710, #712, #713 — tracked under the Bounty Umbrella ticket. Publicly reviewable and directly linked.

Community proof point :white_check_mark: All items were pre-existing tickets in the Explorer repo. Fixes were confirmed by the original reporters, and the Create-Poll fix was validated as resolved by @rickstaa (see PR #713 review). Discord thread linked.

Impact (primary criterion)

  • Importance of the need: Fixes real, reported bugs (route-aware “Wrong Network” pill; runtime LIP fetch so new LIPs appear in Create Poll) and adds a UX improvement (preserve orchestrator table state on back-navigation).
  • Breadth: Confirmed by named maintainers/reporters

Quality & completeness :white_check_mark: Production-ready — code reviewed and merged.

Proportionality :white_check_mark: $1,000 across three merged contributions is small and clearly reasonable.

Red flags None. Addresses existing, acknowledged tickets with maintainer validation.

Review Team Decision — Approved & Paid

Based on the size of the work and its merit, the impact is clear and the size is small and justified. Approved and paid out.
