Simple Summary

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, borrowing rates and any other information any user could possibly want all within one single dashboard.

Abstract

We’d like to build a Sperax community dashboard on Alphaday that aggregates Sperax news, Analytics, social media, documentation and much more into one customizable UI.

Motivation

Market research we conducted in 2021 concluded that crypto 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.

Overview

Our dashboard aims to provide a single end-point from which users can consume all the information on a project they could possibly want. In this case, we would like to create a Sperax ecosystem dashboard that aggregates the following information into a single community dashboard:

  • The latest Sperax official announcements and blog post content

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

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

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

  • Youtube stream containing educational Sperax content.

  • Sperax Docs

  • Integration with Sperax Governance Forum to show the latest and trending discussion topics

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

  • FAQ, White Paper, SPA tokenomics information

  • Sperax Careers integration to show the latest open jobs listed on Sperax

  • Sperax Resources, Brandkit and Github Repository

  • Sperax metrics including TVL, Total and Circulating Supply, Max SPA staking APY and other metrics

Objection, I feel that this is not very necessary. What is needed now is marketing, not a basic page display. The basic page display on the official website is already sufficient, and this also involves a cost of $2600. Doing this thing cannot bring value and return, what is the significance?

Hey @ParisChGiannakou , Thanks for posting the proposal. Most of what you mentioned is already covered in our marketing website. To do a cost benefit assessment we need more info like number of users etc. I don’t think it would be worth it for us to spend that amount of money on this. I would be voting against this proposal for now.

However we really thank you for sharing a proposal like this with us. This is one of the first grant proposals we have received so far.

Hello!

Thanks for the feedback @subh it is very appreciated. We understand your concern about the cost of the dashboard. To give you further details about the marketing side of things: We launched our public beta in August 2022 and have been growing roughly 40% month on month and currently have 10,000 MAU but have in mind this is with minimal marketing and promotion.

If our current traction and user numbers do not meet your criteria for marketing management, then perhaps we can revert back to you in the future sometime.
