RPL Fee Switch Preview Calculator
General Information
What is the nature of the proposed bounty?
An online tool (and/or Discord bot) that previews the value of staking RPL after Saturn under different input parameters and assumptions.
Why are you writing this bounty proposal?
I want this thing to exist for my own use. And I think it could get more people excited about the value of staking RPL. Also it would probably help people understand Saturn - I think it’s currently not very well understood.
Benefit
| Group | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Potential rETH holders | N/A |
| rETH holders | N/A |
| Potential NOs | Help understand the opportunity for extra rewards by staking with RP with RPL |
| NOs | similar to above |
| Community | Community lives and dies by RPL price |
| RPL holders | If the projections look good, RPL might get some positive attention. And it helps holders know whether to stake. |
Which other non-RPL protocols, DAOs, projects, or individuals would stand to benefit from the bounty being successfully completed?
None.
Work
What steps would be entailed in completing the bounty? Do successful examples of such work exist elsewhere? What skillsets or knowledge will be required?
Figure out how Saturn works. Use that information to figure out what inputs/assumptions a calculator of projected earnings from staked RPL would need. Then build the calculator and give it a nice-looking and easy-to-use interface.
What advice would you give a bounty hunter working on this bounty?
Iterate mock-ups with community members like me for feedback early.
Should the output of this bounty be available under an open source license?
Yes.
Costs
How much do you think the completion of this bounty worth to Rocket Pool (in USD)?
Probably something like $5000.
How much work will be needed to verify this bounty has been completed? What skillsets or knowledge will be required?
Knowledge of Saturn or ability to understand it deeply from the specs. And ability to create good UX for a calculator (e.g. know how to use web technologies well).
Structure
How would you structure this bounty, and why?
A single payout to single team on completion
because this is a simple enough thing to get done in one “milestone”.
Is this bounty repeatable?
No. Although if there’s a version with a much better UX maybe it should also get a prize even after the first is paid out.
Are there any reasonable circumstances under which this bounty should be withdrawn? Should it expire?
If Saturn is well underway (already launched) this becomes less relevant as a “preview”. It could still be useful for prospective stakers though.
Conflicts 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 am a member of the GMC.
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?
No. I hold RPL but that’s it.
