Data Whale Curation & Management
Proposal Summary
In Phase 1 of its development, alga. will provide an accessible mobile application built based on the Ocean Marketplace, integrating pricing history, data-token index, a staking wallet and other functions, such as a home-screen or watch-list. The application will be free to use and available on the Google Play and Apple App Store.
In Phase 2 of the alga. development, we are looking to integrate the following functions: mobile data-token swaps, buys, mobile staking and premium access to users that have consumed access to our datasets before and provide them with a fully customizable analysis tool highlighting important information about the data-economy.
The Data Whale alga. application Phase 2 development will cover the following aspects
⌧ Developing an application built based on the Ocean Marketplace, including mobile swaps, data-token swaps and transfers.
⌧ Unleash data analysis tools for Directory, Data Sentiment & Bridging.Tech’s Ocean Market Charts for its users on a customizable application interface.
Project Overview
You may read more on the current project status, Phase 1 features on our Medium article linked here.
The Phase 1 development with basic functions is targeted to be completed by beginning of Q2/2021.
Phase 2 is targeted to be a continuous development with regular updates reaching as far as Q4/2021.
What problem is your development solving?
We believe that accessibility is the key for adoption. Therefore, we are looking to integrate mobile data-token swaps and other functions, in order to ensure that users may have a seamless experience when navigating the data economy.
Furthermore, the data economy can be overwhelming for new network participants. Our premium section aims to provide understandable analysis tools for those users (both veterans & new joiners) and provide them with a competitive edge to understand the data economy better. Our data partner Bridging.Tech’s Ocean Market research and our own dataset “Directory” and “Data Sentiment” will be summarized in a fully customizable analysis tool.
What is the final product?
The final product is developed with the help of Dr. Ali Masood, a PhD project lead & data scientist who is working with a team of React Native and full-stack developers. The Phase 1 application will be deployed with beta features on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store by Q2/2021, whereas our Phase 2 application is a continuous development with an estimated completion of Q4/2021.
An overview of the technology stack?
The team will continue working with the following technology stack.
Dr. Ali Masood’s expertise in data science and deep learning will provide the basic framework for the application’s premium section. All data collected by Data Whale and Bridging Tech will be processed in a customizable dashboard on the application that allows users to get a better understanding of the data economy.
Throughout Phase 2, our development efforts will heavily rely on Ethereum Web3js. As we are aiming to develop a mobile marketplace featuring swaps, data buys and other trading functions, we are also integrating according to the following guidelines outlined on Github, which allows the application to charge 0.1% fees, providing a potential revenue stream for Data Whale.
