January 2023 GMC Call for Bounty Applications - Deadline is January 15th

=== Bounty ===

What is the nature of the proposed bounty?

Clean answers to frequently asked questions, including block diagrams etc to improve upon what’s in /support template use

The ones that most come to mind, and I admit there may be recency bias, are:

  • How does Rocket Pool work? [high level intro]
  • Do I get rETH as an NO?
  • Why do we have RPL?
  • What if rETH depegs?
  • Why isn’t rETH 1:1 with ETH?

Some of these can be in official documentation. That would be best and get incorporated via PRs. Where there’s some opinion bits that may help (eg the RPL question; perhaps the depeg question?), I would suggest hackmd or medium or such. In an ideal world, this gets used in a support template with the support template being a true TL; DR and the article doing the heavier lifting. All of the answers should include LEB8s.

Must the results of this project be entirely open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?

Yes - it should be easy to build on this.

=== Benefits === - enter N/A where appropriate

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help people looking to stake ETH for rETH?

Helps get them understanding faster. Currently, some people may also never actually ask enough questions and fail to enter the system.

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help rETH holders?

Some rETH holders are still confused about their investment, and need more certainty to invest more or just feel more comfortable.

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help people looking to run a Rocket Pool node for the first time?

Understanding where you fit is key to understanding this option. Understanding RPL is also important.

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help people already running a Rocket Pool node?

Same as above.

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help the Rocket Pool community?

Better understanding and clarity is good. Also some folks answer questions repeatedly, so… it’s nice to have the help.

If the bounty is successfully completed, how does this help RPL holders?

Insofar as it helps onboard NOs or rETHers, this grows the project.

What other non-RPL protocols, DAOs, projects, or individuals, would stand to benefit from the bounty being successfully completed?

N/a

Will the results of the completed bounty be open source?

Yes.

=== Work and Verification ===

What steps would be entailed in completing the bounty? Do successful examples of such work exist elsewhere?

The guide should be posted, along with a call for feedback in the #education section of this forum. If in core documentation, merge of the PR.

How long is the proposed bounty available for? Is it awarded to the first team to successfully claim it, or is it in some way divided among all such successful claims in the proposed availability period?

The bounty should be available until claimed, and new “questions” to answer may be added by the GMC. The award should go to the first claimant. If an answer is upgraded to a better answer, the new answer may be awarded for the “difference” in value.

Who will test any products submitted for claiming the bounty?

N/A

What is the acceptance criteria for awarding of the bounty?

The GMC should explicitly accept it or reject it (ideally with a desired improvement) in the forum topic.

=== Payment ===

How much RPL is the applicant requesting for successful completion of the bounty?

5-10 RPL for an adequate to fantastic answer. Fantastic answers are not only accurate, but easily understood and shared.

=== Conflict of Interest ===

Does the person or persons proposing the bounty have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if any member of the GMC would benefit directly financially from the successful completion of the bounty).

I may potentially go for some, but not really

Will the applicant, or any protocol or project in which the applicant has a vested interest (other than Rocket Pool), benefit financially if the bounty is successfully completed?

Nope
