Week 2 Updates
- What are your updates on the week? Let us know how things are going.
The algorithm for our sybil resistant point system for forum participation is almost complete. Points for the reputation system are determined using four factors:
- Replies to topics created (forum posts)
- Replies to regular posts (comments)
- Likes received for topics created
- Likes received for regular posts
We are using a sentiment analysis tool (VADER) to determine the alignment of replies and how many points should be distributed to the original poster.
We are still testing and fine-tuning the script due to differences in terminology used across different DAOs. With this point system, we will be able to identify the DAO members that brought the most value to their DAO’s forum and rank them accordingly.
2. What did you accomplish on your big rock goals? What went right? What went wrong? How is it going to impact what you do this next week?
Last week, our big rock goal was to create the script for the algorithm based on the logic we created in week 1. The logic was for a Sybil Resistant Point System for DAO contributors, and we already have multiple working scripts for each individual factor. The only thing left is ensuring that all the scripts works in unison so they feed into our point system correctly.
What went right?
We successfully created multiple working scripts for our Sybil Resistant Point System for DAO contributors. This was our big rock for our second week of building.
What went wrong?
We hoped to get feedback from OP community members on the logic used for our points system, but scheduling some time to get their feedback has been challenging. However, we will continue to look for feedback, to make sure our points system serves Optimism DAO members.
We planned to drop our code on GitHub this Friday, but it will take a few more days to make sure that points are calculated properly, so we will keep you guys updated on Backdrop.
How is it going to impact what you do this next week?
Once we have the algorithm complete, we will have to create a new table in the database for points distributed to contributors. This will allow us to display the points and ranking for each contributor on our UI.
3. How can the OP community help you?
Feedback! We still need to get feedback from Optimism DAO members on whether they are aligned with how we will be distributing points for contributors.
4. What are your big rocks for the coming week?
Next week we plan on completing the algorithm to display points for each DAO contributor from Optimism DAO. We will be able to rank each DAO contributor based on their contributions to the forum, using the algorithm for our Sybil Resistant Point System.
