Proposal Summary

Webp.net-resizeimage
:squid: Data Whale’s primary objective for 2022 is to develop tools and communication that support the awareness about Ocean Protocol’s Web3 Data Economy. Throughout last year, we realized that we need to simplify this broad subject and make it understandable for the general public, targeting both a crypto-proficient and non-crypto target audience. Have a look at our Round 13 Deliverables that kick off our Roadmap for 2022 below.

Data Whale Roadmap

In 2022, we want to play a central role in supporting the Ocean Protocol Outreach. We want to help making the Web3 Data Economy a thing.

Ocean Protocol Data Market Tools

Our objective building 3rd party Ocean Data Market tools is to create a foundation for adoption of the Web3 Data Economy.

  1. ALGA Mobile App Development [DataToken.app]
  • Introduce compatibility with Ocean Market v4 after launch
  • Introduce the Polygon EVM to ALGA
  • Continue improving the Backend and UI/X of the App to make it even easier to engage with the Ocean Market.
  • Build a strong user base with the help of DataToken.App (our landing page for ALGA), introduce trading competitions on social media and launch marketing activations.
  1. DataToken.Market
  • We will introduce our browser-based DataFi app DataToken.Market. It will replicate some functionalities of ALGA and will also help users stake and swap their favorite Datatokens with the help of $OCEAN.

DataWhale.ai Launch

Our new website will not present Data Whale as a business/startup. We will transform Data Whale into the go-to platform for all resources relating to the Web3 data economy. Our content will be SEO optimized for data buyers, publishers and investors. We will explain the functionality of the Ocean Market in step-by-step tutorials and much much more. Here’s the example!

Ocean Outreach Coop

  1. Outreach Bounties
  • Based on requirements, we will out-source outreach activities, including marketing and optimization, to members of the community. We will incentivize community members that are interested to help us achieving our goals.

Thanks to Deep_Data_Diver, Neverlucky, Antaraxia & Porwinii for being OG Contributors

  1. Ocean Data Market Impression Mining Program
  • Our aim is to generate 1’000’000 impressions for the Ocean Market at the cost of 10’000 $OCEAN with the help of the community. Read more about our plans here

Thanks to SupplyDeFi for being an OG Contributor

  1. Ocean Protocol PR and General Outreach
  • We will continue to strive creating Ocean Protocol Content across our social media channels.
  • We aim to establish partnerships with digital agencies, influencers and other collaborators to scale our content with the goal to encourage a wider awareness.
  1. Launch Datasets
  • We will continue launching valuable datasets with a high focus on generating data consume value to maximize data farming rewards upon launch of Ocean Market v4.

2021 Achievements

  1. Developed and launched a beta-version of the Ocean Market ALGA Mobile App on the Apple App Store and Google Playstore with 250+ user registrations.
  2. Finalized v1.0 of ALGA, re-designed the UI and integrated the App to WalletConnect with a working integration to Ethereum to stake to Data Liquidity Pools and swap Datatokens.
  3. Generated more than 100’000 $OCEAN in network value through swap fees, consume volume and TVL.
  4. Outreach Achievements:

YouTube: 300’000 Impressions

  1. TVL in Data Whale Liquidity Pools (excl. Publisher): ~37’411 $OCEAN
  2. Swap Fees Generated: ~60’000 $OCEAN

Hello @realdatawhale,

Please notice that we are updating the funding process for R13 and there are important things for you to know. We will be deploying an update to the Ocean Website, where you will be able to claim your grant on your own time.
Funding the smart contract may take ~2 days after Voting Ends. There will still be a funding deadline of 2 weeks to claim your grant.
You will need a web3 wallet + Airtable to complete the process. Grant requests via request.finance will be deprecated.

You can find all instructions here: https://github.com/oceanprotocol/oceandao/wiki/Request-Grant-Guidelines
You will have until January 10th to update your proposal with all required fields.

Please let us know if you experience any issues or bugs. You can also submit tickets to Github and ping us inside of ocean-dao-engineering for any help. Thank you!

Thanks! Everything has been updated, but the amount requested on Airtable does not match our proposal. Could you please look into this?

Cheers,
DW

I updated the Airtable. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hello @realdatawhale ,

As part of the Project Guiding - Working Group [PG-WG], We would like to congratulate on your sustained interest in the OceanDAO and for winning the R13 grant.

[Deliverables Checklist] - Completed

ALGA
[X] To finalize the ALGA App and get it ready for Upload to the Google Playstore and Apple App Store by February 2022.

We have completed ALGA v0.9 with the following functionalities.

  • Ethereum Mainnet Integration for all Datatoken LPs. We conducted the first Datatoken swap on our app successfully: https://twitter.com/realdatawhale/status/1482593698261221378?s=20
  • Datatoken Wallet frontend, including easy FaceID Login, User Management
  • Profile creation and registration process (required by App Store Guidelines for “Wallets”).
  • Backend work for Datatoken Wallet balances.
  • Datatoken Index Ranking Feature

We are still missing a few things before we can release the app on the stores in February:

  • Email Verification Option (we noticed that Twilio Mobile Verification does not work in some countries)
  • The user’s Datatoken wallet balance needs to display on-chain data in graphs (To speed up the backend processing, we will add an “Import Datatokens” Button in the Wallet, otherwise the app would be significantly slower as we have to query the subgraph for every Datatoken address)
  • Remove pool liquidity function
  • Finalize DUNS Number to be able to release the app under Data Whale Ltd.

You can download and test all features of the Application here:
Apple: https://testflight.apple.com/join/i55xaclP
