Alphaday Grant Proposal

Summary

Alphaday builds crypto experience dashboards for enthusiasts, developers, and projects. Users can drag and drop from hundreds of services, news and social feeds, charts, and dapp functionality to create their daily workflows inside a single dashboard. This eliminates the need to have multiple browser tabs open to get different bits of information. i.e. imagine having token prices, gas prices, twitter feed, latest news headlines, TVL, borrowing rates and any other information any user could possibly want all within one single dashboard.

Project Impact

Market research we conducted in 2021 concluded that crypto users are overwhelmed with information and spend a lot of time jumping from one news source to another, from one social site to another, and usually have dozens of tabs open to stay up to date with everything happening in a community.

Our dashboard aims to provide a single end-point from which users can consume all the information on a project they could possibly want. In this case, we would like to create a Mango Markets ecosystem dashboard that aggregates the following information into a single community dashboard:

The latest Mango Markets official announcements and blog post content
A feed of all news mentions of Mango Markets from coindesk, cointelegraph and 20+ other news sources aggregated from across the internet
A calendar containing all Mango Markets events including Mango Markets Governance votes, meetups, hackathons with Mango Markets bounties, AMAs
Podcast feed containing the latest appearances and interviews given by Mango Markets team members
Youtube stream containing educational Mango Markets content.
Mango Markets Documentation
Integration with Mango Markets Governance Forum to show the latest and trending discussion topics
Discord & Twitter Integration to show a feed of latest discussions
FAQ,Litepaper, Mango tokenomics information
Mango Markets Careers integration to show the latest open jobs listed on Mango Markets
Mango Markets User’s lending/borrowing positions (through Zapper integration)
Mango Markets metrics including Real Volume, Market Dominance, Volatility and other metrics
Widgets dedicated to Mango tutorials on Health Overview, Beginner Tips, Liquidations, Account Delegation and more

###Funding Request and Budget Breakdown

1,200 USD upfront costs for development including integrating the discussion forums, blog post, social feed, jobs listing and on-chain metrics.

120 USD per month for 12 months for maintenance including having an Alphaday content analyst quality-checking the dashboard every day and ensuring the Calendar widget is up-to-date with latest Mango Markets events, all news mentions across the internet are captured by the dashboard, any updates not automatically captured by the Alphaday aggregator engine is manually added to the board, and other maintenance tasks.

For a total of 2,640 USD.
