DrWorm’s Dune Work
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 retro is for all of DrWorm’s past dune work. This is primarily https://dune.com/drworm/rocketpool.
Highlights include:
- The best view of rETH supply over time imo
- The only views on liquidity for a long time (until https://xrchz.net/imc/); while these are not currently functional that in no way diminishes past utility
- The “Atlas Upgrade” section, which was rolled out essentially live as needed and got responsive updates based on community requests
- The best views imo of: bond types over time, migrations, reductions, queue length, and withdrawals
- The foundations for the rETH Exchange Rate over Time and Discount/Premium plots in https://dune.com/rp_community/lst-comparison
- Helped Val getting the cbETH component off the ground in the APY query of https://dune.com/rp_community/lst-comparison
- https://dune.com/drworm/rocketpool-node-operator, which is a tool outside of the main dashboard that was used by a handful of folks to get numbers for taxes; it was created to fill an explicit expressed need
This work has been referenced routinely in the RP discord since August of 2022. A quick search turned up ~148 hits on the URL, plus derivatives from it are used regularly (plots directly, “this has gone up X amount” in a discord comment or twitter post, single queries, forks, etc). DrWorm has been responsive to feedback from the RP community and sought out feedback (modulo having a real life that has them busy at times).
Are the subjects of this award 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?
No specific callouts beyond the general Dune ToS
Benefits - enter N/A where appropriate

| NOs | Ditto |
| Community | Ditto; and this work is routinely used to help answer community questions or post about market dynamics. |
| RPL holders | Ditto; insofar as holders believe there’s a link between the success of rETH/NOs and the success of RPL |
Payment
How much USD $ is the applicant requesting be awarded to the recipient?
$5500. I think this dashboard has brought a ton of value. I’ll also note that with DrWorm we see a clear example of a person that is capable and wishes to help but sometimes has other priorities. Incentives might be able to shift the balance and help RP get better served (or attract someone else to help out).
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).
I worked with DrWorm on a fair number of queries, both helping them out and (more often) getting helped. Not sure if that’s a conflict per se, but can’t hurt to be transparent.
