Develop monitoring infrastructure for solver competition, CoW AMM and MEV Blocker
Grant Description:
The goal of this grant is to execute on several data-related tasks relevant to the CoW Protocol solver competition, CoW AMMs and MEV Blocker performance.
Grant Goals and Impact:
I will devote at least 10 weeks to improving and refining several queries and dashboards around the CoW Protocol solver competition and CoW AMMs, as well as designing and executing a methodology for evaluating the performance of MEV Blocker.
I shall provide the Services to CoW DAO from October 14th to December 20th.
Milestones
Milestone 1:
Refactoring the solver competition dashboard: updating all the queries to the most recents CIPs.
Milestone 2:
CoW AMM performances: Improving the performance measures on Dune of CoW AMMs to fit to additional features: 80/20 pools, nested pools
Milestone 3:
MEV Blocker performance: assessing the impact of MEV Blocker for speed of execution.
Milestone 4 [Optional]:
Defining formally a CoW: define precisely the concept of a CoW and implement as a function.
Funding Request:
My fee is €45 an hour, with the maximum of €600 (”Fee”) per week inclusive of taxes.
Thanks @Sailjunkie for the proposal.
In light of your previous contributions, I’d be in favor of approving this grant.
Few questions and clarifications:
Would the work be available in a public github repo in addition to the public Dune dashboards?
It’d be great if a member of the solver team can be assigned as reviewer for this proposal milestone submissions.
Clarifying that payments will be done only after approval of the reviewer and anyway only at the end of the month in the scheduled Grants program payment cycle.
I agree that everything should be available in relevant public github repos, and I would be happy to be a reviewer of all the milestones and share here updates when each milestone has been achieved.
Hey @Sailjunkie - looks like it’s passing!
Hey, on the payment cycles: the grant committee always does their payment rounds at the end of a month / first week of the following month. So it would be useful if you could ping here your accumulated amount for that month (or for the weeks that have been completed that months) and tag @harisang for confirmation (specific weeks + requested amounts).
For now, do you have your request for the two weeks of October?
(basically specific enough that the committee and Haris knows which weeks you’re requesting how much for).
You can also wait for the next payment cycle if you would like of course.
Hiya @Sailjunkie - hope you’re well. Do you think you could report back by Monday your compensation requested for November (and before) - the committee is doing payouts early next week.
thanks!
Confirming that @Sailjunkie has indeed provided valuable contributions and has made significant progress towards milestones 1 and 2, as mentioned above. Personally, i am very happy with the progress made, and I definitely support the execution of the payment towards @Sailjunkie
heya - your requested compensation is processed this week.
The next payout meeting is scheduled for 27th of December, could you please update here before then the time accrued / fund requested and for Haris to approve in time? (I’ll be off and won’t ping again) // cc @middleway.eth
