Grants / Bounties

Hi everyone!

Summary:
This proposal aims to develop RocketPool Protocol Analytics, a comprehensive system that provides real-time analytics, reporting, and insights for the RocketPool community. By delivering key metrics, market trends, staking analysis, governance updates, and other important information, this solution aims to empower RocketPool users and foster active participation within the community.

Background and Context:
RocketPool is a thriving decentralized protocol. As the RocketPool ecosystem continues to grow, there is a need for reliable and accessible analytics and reporting tools. This proposal seeks to address this need by providing users with valuable data and insights that will enhance decision-making, improve staking strategies, and encourage deeper engagement within the RocketPool community.

While the current statistics provide valuable information for RocketPool users within the platform, our system offers a unique approach to engage and market to users outside of the RocketPool community. By providing the statistics directly on various platforms, we can reach a wider audience and potentially attract new users who may not be familiar with RocketPool. This differentiates our solution from the data displayed on dashboards, as it focuses on expanding the user base and increasing engagement beyond the existing community.

Proposal Details:
The RocketPool Protocol Analytics system will be developed using Python for backend development and Vue JS/Typescript for frontend implementation. The system will leverage smart contract data, staking information, transaction history, and other relevant metrics to generate meaningful reports and visualizations.

Key features of the proposed system include:

  • Real-time Market Analysis: Providing users with up-to-date information on trading volumes, liquidity pools, token prices, and other market indicators.
  • Governance Insights: Offering detailed analytics on governance proposals, voting participation, and decision outcomes to promote transparency and community involvement.
  • Liquidity Analysis: Providing comprehensive liquidity analysis, including depth charts, liquidity provider incentives, and comparative analysis with other decentralized protocols.

Supporting Media:
You can see what a simplified version of the system looks like on this link (https://twitter.com/VelodromeAlerts).

Timeline and Milestones:

  • Week 1: Gather requirements, finalize technical specifications, and set up the development environment.
  • Week 2: Implement data collection and processing components, integrate with RocketPool smart contracts, and develop the analytics and reporting functionalities.
  • Week 3: Build the interface, incorporate visualizations, conduct rigorous testing, and address any bugs or issues.
  • Week 4: Deploy the RocketPool Protocol Analytics system, monitor its performance, gather user feedback, and make necessary optimizations.

We are happy to provide a beta version on various platforms for the community and contributors to test before deploying the finalized version with the requested changes.

Cost and Resource Estimates:
To bring the RocketPool Protocol Analytics system to fruition, we request a grant of 6000 USDT (equivalent in $RPL). This budget will cover developer compensation, server and hosting costs, as well as ongoing maintenance and support.

Conclusion:
The RocketPool Protocol Analytics system will provide a valuable resource for RocketPool users, offering real-time analytics, reporting, and insights. By enhancing transparency and promoting community engagement, this proposal aims to contribute to the growth and success of the RocketPool ecosystem.

Have a nice day!

Are you familiar with the Rocketscan website and the Rocketwatch discord bot? Would there be overlap with those two? What would be new features that both of those lack currently?

Hello @knoshua, thank you for the reply! We have studied both resources and understand their focus on serving the RocketPool community. While Rocketscan and Rocketwatch provide valuable analytics and insights specific to the Rocketpool protocol, our proposal aims to differentiate itself by having its own engagement strategy.

Our goal is not only to provide analytics and reporting for the existing RocketPool community but mostly to attract new users to the protocol. We believe in the importance of reaching a wider audience and introducing them to the benefits of the protocol. By being on Twitter, we believe it will be easier to reach out to the DeFi community rather than a website. We will collaborate with the community to determine which data should be sourced and prioritize the most relevant information that can effectively engage and onboard new users.

While Rocketscan and Rocketwatch serve the Rocketpool community, RocketPool Protocol Analytics will focus on expanding the user base and increasing engagement beyond the existing community. We aim to bring new users to the protocol by leveraging our analytics system and implementing its own marketing and engagement strategy. By aligning with the community’s needs and preferences, we can make the analytics system as efficient and valuable as possible for RocketPool Protocol and its users.

Hi @rocketpooldata .

Can you go into more detail about the marketing and engagement strategy that you mention? As knoshua mentioned, we already have quite a few tools for tracking data and metrics. Thank you.
