- Elevator pitch: A data set index built on Ethereum and Ocean Protocol.
- Category: build
Mission
We want to give data scientists and Ocean Protocol investors a tool to make informed decisions about data sets. Our thesis is that a data set’s market is a proxy for its quality. Through providing high-res insights into the Ocean Marketplace, we can measure and improve the market’s overall health and performance.
What We Worked On In February
We’ve been a winner of OceanDAO’s Round 2. To safely work with Round 2’s funds (10k OCEAN), we converted them to USDC upon arrival (7832 USDC). In February 2021, we used this money to fund the work. As transparency is essential to us, we’ve maintained a detailed developer log of all the project’s changes. An overview:
- We plan to show the users a time-dependent graph of the index’s performance (our inspiration). For that, we cleaned our database.
- We improved the index by quoting EUR values (instead of OCEAN).
- We improved the site’s SEO performance.
- We improved the crawler’s stability.
- We’ve evaluated the project’s thesis by analyzing the fall of ADASTA-60.
- Our web visitors have increased from 254 visitors in January to 413 visitors in February.
- I’ve started to work on a protocol that may become useful later called the Simple Signal Replication Protocol.
- I’ve started to conceptualize a proposal to scale Ethereum on-chain data
Why We Need Your Vote
Please give your vote to rugpullindex.com on March 1, 2021. We’re planning to use the provided funds as follows:
- We’ll again convert them to USDC upon arrival to minimize our exposure risk to OCEAN and maximize our length of operation.
- We want to finish adding a graph to the website that shows the index’ historical performance
- We want to continue nurturing the project
- We want to introduce an ERC20 token to allow direct investing in the index’s data sets.
Return on Investment
I’ve done a detailed ROI calculation in my last proposal. It continues to apply.
Team
It’s me, Tim Daubenschütz, for now.
I’m a freelancer. You can find more information about me on my blog. I’ve been working in the cryptocurrency space for a while, e.g., with the peeps at Ocean Protocol back when they were called BigchainDB. I’ve also worked with LeapDAO on scaling Plasma.
Conclusion
Please vote for rugpullindex.com in round 3 of the OceanDAO Grants vote.
