[Grant Application] CGA#20 - Curve Dashboard Events

Summary:

The team behind SimpleID aims to create a live monitoring dashboard and event subscriptions for the Curve community. See http://ethstats.net for an example of what they envision.

Summary of Grant Applicant:

Prabhaav Bhardwaj (Github: https://github.com/prabhaav)
Alex Carreira (Github: https://github.com/AC-FTW)

Prabhaav and Alex are the co-founders of SimpleID, a web3 service provider that provides tools to extract product insights and engage with customers without compromising their privacy. View their recent release of a DAI Risk Monitoring dashboard.

Project Details:

The dashboard will gather Curve protocol data and provide in-depth understanding of its usage, as well as customizable event subscriptions that send alerts to users. Services include monitoring of potential exploits or arbitrage opportunities, advanced segment data, in-depth data visualizations, and a live data dashboard.

SimpleID will create a complete toolset with all of the necessary components for data availability, monitoring, event subscription, and live dashboard. They offer flexible monitoring that requires external or on-chain data, and will modify event monitoring to fit Curve community needs once a month. They offer high data availability, with updates being made every 1-2 blocks.

SimpleID believes this toolset will help build trust in Curve, which will attract new LPs, traders, and developers.

Their application proposes to complete this project in 2 phases:

  1. Est. Completion March 2021. Monitor up to 10 pools or custom events with dashboard updates every 6 blocks. Up to 20k viewers can subscribe to updates for each segment.
  2. Est. Completion June 2021. Visualizations updated every 1-2 blocks. 20k authenticated URLs for high performance updates, and 100k for regular performance updates (every 20 min).

Post-Grant Plans:

Grant will include a 12 month SLA after the product is live, with an offer to extend service as needed.

Requested Grant Size:

Phase 1: $48k in equivalent value of CRV, vested over 12 months + monitoring pricing of $400/month/pool (10-pools pricing)
Phase 2: $120k in equivalent value of CRV, vested over 12 months + monitoring pricing of $2000/month/pool (5-live pool monitor pricing)
