# 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](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/issues/709). ## Who is already using this, and can they confirm it? “[Wrong Network indicator on /migrate only appears after page refresh](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/710)” and “[Preserve Explorer State on Back Navigation](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/issues/349)” 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](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/713#pullrequestreview-4607496903). The Discord thread, for those wanting to view the discussion, is [here](https://discord.com/channels/423160867534929930/1519039325054959687). ## 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. - [fix: wrong network indicator invisible on migrate by ECWireless · Pull Request #710 · livepeer/explorer · GitHub](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/710) - [fix: change create a poll LIP fetch to cached runtime API call by ECWireless · Pull Request #712 · livepeer/explorer · GitHub](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/712) - [feat: preserve orch table state on back nav by ECWireless · Pull Request #713 · livepeer/explorer · GitHub](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/713) ## Amount requested. Requesting $1k USD-equivalent. ---

## ✅ 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](https://app.notion.com/p/47586628153e43f99cf411935c9ab010). **Scope — [Delegators] Governance & Network Observability** ✅ In scope. Explorer bug fixes and UX improvements. **Work shipped** ✅ Three merged PRs — [#710](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/710), [#712](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/712), [#713](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/pull/713) — tracked under the [Bounty Umbrella ticket](https://github.com/livepeer/explorer/issues/709). Publicly reviewable and directly linked. **Community proof point** ✅ 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** ✅ Production-ready — code reviewed and merged. **Proportionality** ✅ $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.**
