Grant Category:
Developer tools (SDK)
Grant Description:
After 2 years of engagement within the italian developers community and after receiving many feedback from both blockchains and developers, we realized that there is need for blockchains to have a tool to engage efficiently with delevolpers and software houses.
So we decided to create POMA, a platform where developers receive rewards through a smart contract, distributed based on their engagement.
On POMA developers can:
- Learn the fundamentals (attend courses, complete exercises, get certified)
- Get involved (community engagement, webinars & conferences, news & articles)
- Operate (work on ongoing projects, create new projects)
The technical architecture works as follow:
- A notification relay is listening on the chain for operations performed on a specific smart contract
- For each transaction executed, a notification is sent via webhook to the POMA infrastructure API
- Once the information for each transaction is retrieved, the infrastructure takes care of calculating the cashback using one of the following strategies:
- Real-time: Cashback is calculated for each transaction and transferred from the source wallet to the target wallet.
- Periodic: Cashback is calculated for each transaction and saved to a persistence layer, incrementing the counter of the amount dedicated to the user who owns the project. The user is free to return to the platform to claim the accumulated cashbackOn the platform
The user experience is the following:
-
For Developers & Software houses:
- 1Choose a blockchain to build on
- Learn & engage with the blockchain, if necessary
- Link their account using our smart contract
- Receive a cashback based on transactions enabled by the projects
-
For Blockchains companies:
- Publish Cashback opportunities
- Provide learning contents and developing tools
Grant Goals and Impact:
We believe POMA would be beneficial because it provides Cow with a tool to efficiently distribute grants and incentives to developers, specifically for projects Cow is keen to support. Additionally, the smart contract enables POMA to offer incentives for various types of engagement, such as courses, events, and certifications.
It also allows to track the impacts and results of this engagement. Additionally, it incentivizes developers to create successful projects by offering cashback based on the transactions their projects generate.
Milestones:
Key deliverable is the creation of a Proof of concept (POC)
|Milestone|Due Date|Payment|
| Smart Contract Development v1: POC of the smart contract logic, deployed on chain | 2 weeks | 3.200$ |
|Integration Script for smart contract access: Python/Typescript scripts to access and manage the deployed smart contract for both admin ops and user-like ops| 2 weeks | 1.300$ |
|Testing| 1 week | 500$ |
Funding Request:
The total funding budget of 5.000$ (in XDai) is going to cover only the developing costs. The web3 developer is our CTO, which is going to work on this at a discounted rate.
