It certainly looks interesting. I have reservations however regarding the costs proposed relative to the expected ROI. I would like to know how you came to the proposed figures?

Hi,
I estimate the workload to be 10 weeks for a full-time person (Study + Development + Testing).
At the current COW price, this results in a cost of $19K for 2.5 months of work, which is $7.6K per month.

IMO, this grant is missing:
1. A clear value proposition for how this will increase engagement / utilization of CoW Protocol. Some volume based incentive would ensure more appropriate incentive alignment.
2. How the data for these charts will be determined. What data source etc?

The main purpose is to enable users to quickly and easily visualize real-time price movements, facilitating informed decision-making.
The chart data comes from DEX and CEX. To find the list of data sources used, you can visit the widget’s page (Settings / Default symbol):
> **[Free Financial Chart Widget for Technical Analysis](https://www.tradingview.com/widget/advanced-chart/)**
>
> Advanced functional chart widget for technical analysis. Real-time Forex data, over 80 technical indicators and drawing tools from TradingView.
