Hello, we would like to thank the reviewers for their time reviewing our application and the feedback.
It seems we didnot do a great work at explaining our vision with this proposal, so we would like to ask a couple of questions to see if we can improve our proposal for a future round.
It is funny you say that, quite recently we found errors in beaconcha.in and we explained to them what they did wrong and how to fix it. For further details please see here
We do have a category “Rocket Pool” in our list of entities. The intention is to go deeper and be able to see the list of Rocket pool operators grouped by validators and see the performance of each operator, in comparison with the average of all Rocket pool operators as well as the overall average performance of all validators. Is this explanation clearer? Is there anything else that could interest Rocket Pool?
That is correct. In our proposal we have only discussed validator performance, in terms of attestation flags rate, block misses etc. This is our first proposal to Rocket Pool and we wanted to start by something rather small to create a trust relationship before asking for larger grants more focused on Rocket Pool intricacies. Our plan was to continue this work with a second proposal, which would focus on rETH
That is a good point. We are extending the time frame for which we provide detailed performance views. In the near future we will be able to see 1 month detailed performance and in the medium term we plan to be able to see 1 quarter detailed performance.
Our long term plan is to provide much more detailed metrics than what exist today in any of the other tools out there. However, this is not the only benefit. We think decentralization is very important in all aspects, so relying in only one central dashboard is not very reliable (see the errors found on beaconcha.in and etherscan mentioned above). To put it in the words of Vitalik:
“Dashboard organizations” like L2beat, block explorers, and other ecosystem monitors are an excellent example of such a principle working in the Ethereum ecosystem today. If we do more to make different aspects of alignment legible, while not centralizing in one single “watcher”, we can make the concept much more effective, and fair and inclusive in the way that the Ethereum ecosystem strives to be.
Fair point. Again, we wanted to start by something relatively small before going into something more RP oriented. What would you like to see in this proposal that would make it more RP focused?
Yes, the idea is to have one page in Ethseer, where we can see the entire list of RP operators, their stats, their performance, and be able to click on any of them to see further details, all the way down to the performance of one single validator. At this time we proposed just a small grant, to start the relationship with rocket pool, and then slowly transition to more complex, RP focused projects.
Again, thanks all reviewers for their feedback.
Looking forward to work together.
