Community-Enabled Analytics [GRANT]

This proposal’s expectation is to produce a community signal on a grant. Full details and discussions thus far can be found at:

Community-Enabled Analytics (CEA) is proposed as a solution to develop a community of nearly 500 individuals that attack analytic challenges in real time for Sushi. The program is designed to drive on-demand data needs - as well as customer acquisition, ecosystem growth and token circulation.

The forum post describes CEO as a free solution with a bounty program to incentivize and reward community members for learning about, analyzing, and publishing blockchain data.

The proposal requests a grant of 1M USD annually in $SUSHI to fund the CEA program for Sushi, which may be renewed on an annual basis.

→ 50% of this will be delivered to ecosystem community members as bounties ($41,667 per month)

→ The other 50% ($41,667 per month) is the subsidization of operational and infrastructure costs.

Year 1 Program Expectations:

Given previous programs, the expected results from a year of bounties would be as follows:

~ A community of 460 educated analysts to produce on-demand insights for Sushi

~ 27,000 $SUSHI retained in ecosystem

~ 350+ unique dashboards, queries, visualizations, & in-depth analyses, plus premium interactive solutions including a Trident concentrated liquidity calculator.

Sushi CEA Program Oversight:

Two components are proposed to provide effective checks and balances to ensure maximum accountability to the Sushi ecosystem:

Oversight Committee: whose purpose is to ensure that the grant proceeds are applied in a manner consistent with its design. The Committee will meet quarterly to review and ensure accountability, and take a vote annually to evaluate the continuation of the program. The Oversight Committee will be composed of 5 members chosen by the SushiSwap community. A Flipside representative will be present at the meetings to provide information and context when/if the committee asks for it, but will not have a vote.

Transparency Dashboard: Results of the program will be broadcast live via a custom dashboard for the Sushi community.
