Proposal: Metis Data Aggregator Dashboard on Alphaday

Alphaday’s Utility

Crypto has exploded in popularity over the last 4-5 years and there is so much going on that it’s almost impossible to keep up with everything. Our user research showed that users are overwhelmed with information and spend a lot of time jumping from one news source to another, from one social site to another, and usually have dozens of tabs open to stay up to date with everything happening in a community.

Alphaday builds crypto experience dashboards for enthusiasts, developers, and projects. Users can drag and drop from hundreds of services, news and social feeds, charts, and dapp functionality to create their daily workflows inside a single dashboard. This eliminates the need to have multiple browser tabs open to get different bits of information. i.e. imagine having token prices, gas prices, twitter feed, latest news headlines, TVL, and any other information any user could possibly want all within one single dashboard.

Uniqueness

According to our conducted market research on users, currently people’s regular crypto workflows consist of jumping from one browser tab to another to check prices, read news, follow twitter, participate in discussions. A typical crypto user will have 6 to 10 open tabs at any given time and people have referred to Alphaday as the ‘tab killer’ because all the information you’d need across all your different tabs is available in Alphaday. In this sense, we do not have any direct competitor that can provide 50 different types of services and functionality within one dashboard.

Security

Alphaday does not (currently) have any smart contracts deployed. However, before a newly built widget or feature is deployed for users, there are procedures we follow regarding thorough testing practices. If anything may potentially break user experience in any way, we do our best to spot it before it goes live and fix it.

What we want to build for you

We would like to create a Metis ecosystem dashboard that aggregates the following information into a single community dashboard:

  • The latest Metis official announcements and blog post content.

  • A feed of all news mentions of Metis from coindesk, cointelegraph and 20+ other news sources aggregated from across the internet.

  • A calendar containing all Metis events including Metis Governance votes, meetups, hackathons with Metis bounties, AMAs.

  • Podcast feed containing the latest appearances and interviews given by Metis team members.

  • Youtube stream containing educational Metis content.

  • Metis Document directory.

  • METIS token current market price.

  • Integration with Metis Forum to show the latest and trending discussion topics.

  • Twitter, Discord, & Telegram Integration to show a feed of latest discussions.

  • FAQ, tech and org whitepapers, METIS tokenomics information.

  • Metis Careers integration to show the latest open jobs listed on Metis.

  • Metis and Metis ecosystem TVL data (through Defillama integration).

  • Developer and user tools, links, and descriptions for navigation and engagement within the Metis Ecosystem.

  • Metis metrics including TVL, number of trades and other metrics pulled in from Dune Analytics

  • A widget featuring the Metis roadmap with all the descriptions and links included.

  • Developer and user tools, links, and descriptions for navigation and engagement within the Metis Ecosystem, including the platform.

  • Metis user-growth, trading data and other metrics pulled in from Dune Analytics.

We should be able to build and deploy the above dashboard within 2 months so if this grant is approved we want to launch the Metis dashboard by August 2023.

Thereafter, we will maintain & curate the dashboard on a daily basis throughout a year, as well as improve the functionality and availability of features in our application as a whole.

Please note that we can add and remove widgets and/or contents as required by the team or community. For a brief idea about other widgets and data that we can include, please visit our Live product page (Beta) at: https://app.alphaday.com/
