The Rocket Pool DeFi market rates guide provides the Rocket Pool community with updates every 2 weeks on the rETH APY, rETH DeFi opportunities, and also RPL DeFi opportunities currently available.

This is the only community resource [I know of] that tracks the best DeFi opportunities and rates for the community. What started as just updates to the document, has now become more with a new website [ www.RPLdefi.com] and also I’ve added on a summary video of the top opportunities. Here is the first summary video.

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?

Payment

13 RPL is requested to be sent to OpenSourceVentures.eth. This is broken down into the costs to acquire the new website domain and the time spent making the updates + creating the summary video.

10 RPL = $250 for 5 hours of work
3 RPL = $80 for domain www.RPLdefi.com to be linked to the Rocket Pool DeFi Guide.
I believe the previous payment agreement for this was 2 RPL per update. Each update takes 1-2 hours and it occurs every 2 weeks, which equals 4 RPL per month for 2 updates.

2 Hours per update were spent on the RPL DeFi document, to upgrade the format, and add a summary Green, Yellow, Red table, in the last month for a total of 4 hours for the updates and 1 hour for the summary video.

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

~$250
