[GF: Phase 1 Proposal] Edge Wallet - (Integration of Optimism + Velodrome LP Staking / Swaps + Tarot LP Staking)

Hello @lavande @Gonna.eth @kaereste @jackanorak . I wish to thank you all and the rest of the team for providing us with updates and reminders about the changes needed and as well as for moving our application to Season 3, Cycle 10.

I want to let you know that I’ve reviewed and have made changes to our application here. I believe this is ready to go but please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if I may have missed a requirement.

Our team is excited to build on Optimism and we look forward to any feedback or questions that we can answer!

Thank you.

Hi @edgeop thank you for applying to the Builders Grant.

Do you think this proposal is to:

  1. maximize the number of developers building on Optimism?
  2. maximize the number of users interacting with applications on Optimism?

Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi @Gonna.eth,

Thank you for your questions and happy to answer.

This proposal would primarily maximize the number of users interacting with applications on Optimism by:

  1. Exposure to 3 million + accounts already on Edge with MAU ranging from 60k-160k on a wallet that is open-source, non-custodial, has never been hacked since inception in 2014, and one of the few wallets that also provides human phone support.
  2. Maximize non-technical user adoption - As you may already know, navigating in DeFi using Metamask or other wallets may be extremely challenging for the average user to be able to connect to the right chain and/or even enter the correct RPC or chain ID information. Edge makes it easy such that users would be able to interact with dApps to do swaps or staking for example with a few taps such that even someone non technical would be able to participate when they normally would not have been able to or would have given up.

This proposal would also increase the number of developers building on Optimism as Edge is open source. Developers outside may wish to build on top of Edge building on Optimism. Edge also has white labels that if these features are implemented would also be supported with those white labels and their engineering teams may also continue to build on top of Optimism.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you.

Hi @edgeop thanks for all the extra info you gave us so far. As we’re getting closer to the final review, I wanted to bring your awareness of a new Milestone Assessment the Grant council proposed.

It is not mandatory for cycle 10 to stick to this format, but it shows what are we looking for when assessing Milestones, so you might want to adjust your Milestones to maybe get a better score on the final review.

If you’d like to discuss anything related to that, don’t hesitate to ask here or contact me directly (I’m a Builders sub-committee reviewer).

Again thank you for the effort you guys are putting into this proposal!

I sent an email response to optimismgrantsops@gmail.com on March 8, 2023 in regards to the next steps. Also referencing this comment here: [GF: Phase 1 Proposal] Edge Wallet - (Integration of Optimism + Velodrome LP Staking / Swaps + Tarot LP Staking) - #12 by lavande.

We still haven’t heard anything via Telegram or Email in regards to providing KYC or what the next steps would be. But that we should reach out if more than a week has passed.

I understand you guys may be super busy but just thought I’d reach out as instructed. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

I have Critical Milestone #3 update here:

Date Milestone Type Milestone Source of Truth
6/30/23 Critical Velodrome and Tarot Staking Not met and still being worked on

I also sent out an email to grants@optimism.io with a link to this comment as per instructions when making milestone updates.

I regret to inform your team and apologize that our team did not make this deadline. Due to being an engineer down and having to shuffle resources to maintain and upgrade WalletConnect v2 and other areas of our app.

Please let us know if there is anything else we need to do due to not meeting this 3rd milestone. Note, we have met and successfully implemented the other 2 milestones where OP + Velodrome DEX Swaps have been implemented and are live in Edge.

We have a conservative estimate we could have this implemented by 9/30/23 but possibly sooner.

@PalashOP @lavande @Gonna.eth @kaereste

2nd update in regards to Critical Milestone #3:

This is 50% complete.

Velodrome LP Staking is in and is live on Edge 3.18.0 which came out on 9/25/23.

Unfortunately, we are still behind and did not complete Tarot LP Staking. I apologize and our team is still hard at work to make this happen. Due to engineering resources and some of our engineers being out on vacation as well as the approaching holidays, I would like to estimate that we should have Tarot LP Staking complete before the end of the year. I will update this post as well as send an email update for this update and again as soon as we have Tarot Staking completed.

Please let us know if you have any questions! We appreciate your patience with us!
