Specification
How will this Delegate Mission Request help accomplish the above Intent?
Grants are one of the most valuable resources the Collective has to attract builders to the Optimism ecosystem and the Superchain. This mission would allow the entire Collective to track and control information in one place in an orderly and standardized manner.
Several grants trackers have been created, to name a few: Grant3, Optimism Grants Changelog, Grants Council Roundups. Each of these efforts has done a great job in making access to information more accessible to anyone interested.
With a supertracker that aggregates the key pieces of the above examples, a tool can be created that will become the definitive standard for tracking grants both within the OP Mainnet and in the future, in the different chains that make up the Superchain (Base, Zora, PGN, Mode Network, etc.).
What is required to execute this Delegate Mission Request?
Research:
- List and compile all information about grants delivered to date (distributed on the Governance forum, Dune Dashboards created by the OP Labs analytics team, information from the Grants Council, and Optimism’s Foundation public issues [RFP]). Important: Open/public grants from OP Chains that make up the Superchain should also be included if they are available at the time this mission is executed.
- Design a standardized data format that is easy to understand for the entire Collective:
- Basic info of the project.
- Link to the grant proposal.
- What will the funds be used for, and what will be built/developed?
- Amount of OP requested.
- Date of delivery of funds (if available).
- Link to the trx of receipt (if available).
- Status of work i.e.: In progress, finished.
- Result of work i.e.: link functional website.
Frontend:
- Create an easy-to-navigate interface.
- Access to data collected from the research phase in the form of a visualizer.
- Updated governance calendars for different types of grants.
- Allow grantees to upload additional info regarding the management of their grant.
