Should the following $4,000 grant in the Platform category be approved?

Abstract

Market research we conducted in 2021 concluded that crypto users are overwhelmed with information and usually have dozens of tabs open to stay up to date with everything happening in a community.

Alphaday helps solve this issue of information fragmentation. We aim to serve as a central point where any user (whether they are a developer, enthusiast, investor) can instantly get the Decentraland information they need and stay up to date. Example: https://app.alphaday.com/b/optimism/

Description

We would like to create a Decentraland ecosystem dashboard that aggregates the following information into a single community dashboard:

• The latest Decentraland official announcements and blog post content.
• A feed of all news mentions of Decentraland from coindesk, cointelegraph and 20+ other news sources aggregated from across the internet.
• A calendar containing all Decentraland events including Governance votes, meetups, conferences, hackathons with Decentraland bounties, AMAs.
• Podcast feed featuring Decentraland.
• Youtube stream containing educational Decentraland content.
• Decentraland Docs directory.
• Integration with Decentraland Forum to show the latest and trending discussion topics.
• Discord & Reddit Integration to show a feed of latest discussions.
• FAQ, MANA tokenomics information.
• Live MANA spot price chart.
• Developer tools, guides, grants & bounties, documentation, and any other resources that can help build on Decentraland.
• Decentraland metrics including floor & median prices, buyers, and other metrics pulled in from Dune Analytics.
• Categorized links and descriptions of products and services offered in the Decentraland ecosystem; includes marketplaces and in-game events & places.

We should be able to build and deploy the above dashboard within 1-2 months so if this grant is approved we want to launch the Decentraland dashboard by April 2024.

Thereafter, we will maintain & curate the dashboard on a regular basis, as well as improve the functionality and availability of features in our application as a whole. This includes following up with the community’s feedback on the forum and making changes.

Roadmap and milestones

Our roadmap for building the Decentraland Community and Ecosystem Dashboard is as follows: Developing and publishing the dashboard. Our team creates a list of all the sources of information relevant to the Decentraland ecosystem (we usually collect 30+ sources including official blog posts, social media, discussion forums, podcasts, etc) We build a draft dashboard that is composed of the widgets we think best serve the Decentraland community based on our experience building for other projects. We share the dashboard with the Decentraland community and/or team and we collect feedback. We change & iterate based on the feedback and once we get final approval from the community and/or team we publish it. We also do social marketing campaigns to promote the dashboard 2. Maintenance and Curation of dashboard over the long haul. We continue to maintain, curate, and develop the dashboard continuously as well as keep in touch with the community via the forum. If we get any early traction on the Decentraland dashboard we can immediately start to build more Decentraland-exclusive widgets.
