Grant Description:

We are excited to share with you that the CoWs Analytics Dashboard, funded by our initial grant, has received great feedback from the community. The dashboard currently displays key KPIs, such as the latest batch auctions, highest daily CoW in auctions, historical CoW volume, transaction page, and more.

This proposal aims to secure additional funding to expand and enhance the previously developed CoWs Analytics Dashboard. The updates involve developing several new features, such as extending the historical volume history, providing graph visualization, adding more detailed information about each batch auction, and introducing solver competition details.

Proposed New Features and Enhancements:

  1. Leaderboard CoWs: Introduce a section on the dashboard displaying the top CoWs for the past 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, YTD, and 1 year. This will help users identify frequent and high-performing CoWs.

  2. Extend Historical Volume History: Increase the coverage of the historical data presented on the dashboard, allowing users to analyze CoWs and their performance over longer periods.

  3. Graph Visualizer for Batch Modal/Batch Page: Integrate a graph visualizer in batch pages( https://www.cowtools.info/batch/0x6f651b548b90610dae8154f5e0896baef5bb87089f8d1ee903e6697cb14f1e15) to provide better visual representation and understanding of batch auctions.

  4. Expanded Batch Modal Page: Present more detailed information about batch auctions, allowing users to analyze each auction more comprehensively and make informed decisions based on the provided data.

  5. Solver Competition Details: Include information on solver competitions for every settlement, showing proposed solutions, cleared prices, and how solvers compete to find the best solutions. This will give users insights into the settlement process and help them understand the efficiency of the system.

Grant Goals and Impact:

Our intent with this project is to provide a more comprehensive platform for users to assess CoWs in batch auctions. By enabling a more detailed understanding and analysis, we hope to inspire more usage, leading to increased liquidity and reduced costs for traders.

Milestones:

Milestone Duration Payment
Milestone 1: Development of New Features 3 weeks 50%
Milestone 2: Testing & Deployment 1 week 50%

Funding Request:

We request an additional funding of $10,000 for this project. This amount will be used for research, development, testing, and deployment of the new features.

Budget Breakdown:

The funds will go towards covering labor costs. (We ask for 50% upfront payment, 50% on delivery)
