## Requesting retrospective grant funding for Node Operator User Research study

### OpenUX

### What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.

In October 2023, OpenUX began an in-depth study about the experiences of node operators getting started with Rocket Pool. Earlier this year, we [published the full insights including recommendations](https://dao.rocketpool.net/t/completion-of-user-research-report-how-node-operator-experience-insights-can-help-rocket-pool-continue-to-enhance-the-security-of-ethereum/2615/3), produced an explainer video, spoke on a Twitter space to explain the findings, and hosted an AMA with the GMC to discuss possible solutions to put into action.

In our [original proposal](https://dao.rocketpool.net/t/september-1-9-2023-gmc-call-for-grant-applications-deadline-is-september-9/2156/2), we requested a budget of $50,000 to conduct the work, but agreed to deliver it at a reduced rate in order to prove the value to the GMC and wider community, with the option to request retrospective funding later. We agreed to execute the research study for $33,300 including research participant incentives. We now wish to make a request for retrospective funding of $16,700 to bring us up to the original cost for the work.

### Are the subjects of this award entirely open source ([MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT), [GPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), [Apache](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?

Yes.

## Benefit

**Potential NOs**  
The research findings supports decision-makers at Rocket Pool with data they need to improve the documentation and support for first time node operators. Insights can help support certain key product metrics, for example reducing time to get a node up and running, operator retention, reducing support requests etc. The result will mean that the experience is improved for people looking to run a Rocket Pool node for the first time.

**NOs**  
Outcomes for first-time node operators, and insights that inform better communication and governance will support people already running a node.

**Community**  
The research deliverables are packed with insights and recommended courses of action that are enabling for the community; not only for the GMC to better direct resources, but for the wider community to be able to act on the findings and develop effective solutions that lead to greater NO adoption.

**RPL holders**  
RPL holders benefit from actions taken off the back of the research: increased engagement, better brand equity, and increased trust in the long term sustainability of Rocket Pool and RPL, supporting token price.

**Additionally…**

Our goal for the research was to improve the experience of node operators, increase the number of people becoming node operators, and therefore increase the security of Ethereum overall. These are bold but achievable end results, however just having the research findings is not enough to make that so; the end users of our research (Rocket Pool core team, GMC and wider community) must be able to adequately action the findings. And due to the nature of user research in large distributed organizations like Rocket Pool, it can time for findings to turn into action, and results.

As a measure to evidence the effectiveness of our research, we anonymously surveyed GMC recipients to collect feedback on the research. Three people filled out the survey. Specific feedback we received from members of the GMC and community included:

> _“Very high quality work. In terms of ‘value adding’ to the community, high marks, though in some cases technical realities diminish the low hang of the low hanging fruit.”_
> 
> _“This was a positive experience with OpenUX. It will be interesting to see how many of the suggestions can be actioned by the pDAO or GMC.”_
> 
> _“Very professional and helpful report. The actionable stuff might take some time to massage into something that works for us, but that is not a knock to OpenUX.”_

We asked our work to be scored and received the following scoring on 3 measurements: the deliverables being high quality, value-adding, and enabling for the Rocket Pool team.

## Costs

### How much USD $ is the applicant requesting be awarded to the recipient?

$16,700

### Is the applicant requesting RPL or LUSD?

LUSD

## Conflict of Interest

### Does the person or persons requesting the retrospective award have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if you have nominated a member of the GMC for this retrospective award).

No.

April 2024 Support Hours

**Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?**

**What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.**

This grant is for recognition of work performed in the Rocket Pool Support channel, for the month of April 2024. My submitted hours are based on the results from the script haloooloolo has written.

I wanted to make mention of how important I feel the level of support that the handful of us bring to the Rocket Pool support channel. I have seen countless times, how thankful a node operator is to not only have their issue resolved, but have it resolved quickly by community members who are genuinely attentive and competently work with the NO.

Based on the script output, I have accumulated 33 hours in support for the month of April (April 1st to April 30th). These hours only include work done in the support channel. Until a new defined Support policy is developed and implemented, I’ll use this means of

## Name of Retrospective Award

Support Hours March - April

### Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?

haloooloolo

### What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.

The grant is for my time spent in the support channel since the initial retro grant. Since we have plenty of precedent for both methodology and format at this point, I’ll keep this short.

The initial retro did not have a rocketscape command attached, so I’m adding it here. `rocketscrape -c support --include-threads -e 2024-03-02 contributors` produces a time of 200h 18m to match the initial request for 200 hours. `rocketscrape -c support --include-threads -s 2024-03-02 -e 2024-05-05 contributors` shows an additional time of 79h 56m since then.

### Are the subjects of this award entirely open source

All support messages are available for review.

## Benefit

## Amsterdam RP Meetup Reimbursement of Cost

The recently awarded [Summit Grant programm](https://dao.rocketpool.net/t/round-11-call-for-grant-applications-deadline-is-april-7/2775/2) allows for reimbursement of expenses for attendees of RP meetups.  
We organized an RP Meetup in Amsterdam for 12th April 2024 (around the ETHDam conference and hackathon) which fits the goals of this grant.  
It was announced and chatted about in the #conferences channel, with the main announcement [here](https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/1040445327360139284/1226480591210283149).

### Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?

So far 3 of the 8 attendees of the RP meetup handed in expenses. Ideally reimbursements would be paid out directly to them.

### What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.

We seek only compensation for expenses at the event, like drinks.  
All work regarding organizing the event, including getting a location, announcing the event, collecting responses and traveling from Germany to Amsterdam is done for free.

### Are the subjects of this award entirely open source ([MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT), [GPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), [Apache](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?

N/A. The whole event was open and accessible to everyone.

## Benefit

It proved to be a great opportunity to discuss all things RP and to strengthen community ties.  
We brought over 2 hackers from the hackathon who are interested in becoming node operators themselves.

| Group | Benefits |
| --- | --- |
| Potential rETH holders | Generated awareness of RP at ETHDam which helps bring rETH on people’s radar |
| rETH holders | Strengthening Node Operator community helps us in creating rETH supply (more NOs) and in getting better APY, because NOs are well connected and well informed and thus provide better service and error recovery |
| Potential NOs | 2 potential NOs attended and got a good first impression of the community and the tech |
| NOs | Better community, shared knowledge, more know-how |
| RPL holders | Meetups help retain existing NOs, even during RPL ratio drops like currently, and have new people join as NOs. Thereby supporting RPL use and price. |

## Costs

Consumption at the event location Hannekes Boom and transportation to it (excluding flights).

Total costs across all members who provided PoE (proof of expenses):

| Person | Cost in EUR | Cost in USD | Reimbursement USD |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 20.10 | 21.45 | 21.45 |
| 2 | 48.90 | 52.18 | 50.00 |
| 3 | 19.30 | 20.59 | 20.59 |
| 4 | 59.62 | 63.61 | 50.00 |
| 5 | | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| 6 | | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| 7 | | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| 8 | | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| SUM | 147.92 | 157.83 | 142.04 |

Empty values mean attendees didn’t respond yet (will update if they do before the deadline) or passed on the reimbursement.

### How much USD $ is the applicant requesting be awarded to the recipient?

Full reimbursement of cost up to the limit of $50 per person.  
Note that people like me who flew to AMS and stayed at a hotel had far greater cost than that which do do not ask reimbursement for.

### Is the applicant requesting RPL or LUSD?

RPL

## Conflict of Interest

None
