Foundation Mission Request: Retro Funding 4 Voting UI

How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) help accomplish the above Intent?

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) Round 4 is taking place from May til August and will reward Onchain Builders who contribute to the success of Optimism. This round seeks to expand the reach and impact of the network by rewarding those building across the Superchain, increasing demand for blockspace, and driving value to the Collective. This includes builders who bring new users to the Superchain, drive network effects and protocol usage.

Retro Funding 4 experiments with impact metric based voting, in which voters express their preferences by selecting and weighting a number of metrics, instead of reviewing or voting on individual projects. Thus the voting experience looks vastly different to any existing grant or public goods voting experience.

Please refer to the impact calculator (spec), built by Buidl Guidl, as an early stage prototype of a metric-based voting experience.

Image

Within the voting client, badgeholders (voters in Retro Funding) need to be able to discover relevant impact metrics, assign weight to them and submit their ballot. An excellent voting experience is core to supporting the work of badgeholders and ensuring an accurate Retro Funding process.

What is required to execute this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

Completing this mission requires building a frontend that powers the voting experience of badgeholders in Retro Funding 4. The Frontend will be based on existing designs and requirements, that will be provided to the team(s) that take on this mission.

Core functionality of the voting client:

  1. Onboarding: When a badgeholder lands on the voting application, they are greeted with a small onboarding flow, surfacing relevant information and linking to important resources
  2. Discover impact metrics: A badgeholder is able to discover impact metrics. Within a list of metrics a badgeholder can see metric name, metric creator, metric description, metric application among projects, as well as the option to add the metric to their ballot.
  3. View & edit ballot: A badgeholder’s ballot is made up of different impact metrics and their weighting. The badgeholder is able to add new impact metrics to their ballot and edit the weighting of impact metrics. Within the ballot view, a graph visualization of the applied impact metrics is surfaced to the badgeholder, so that they can understand how their decisions impact the allocation of OP among projects.
  4. Submit ballot: A badgeholder is able to submit their ballot
  5. Testing mode: non-badgeholders can access the same functionality in a testing enviorement

Technical implementation:

The rollout of functionality of the application will be done in multiple phases:

What milestones will help the Collective track progress towards completion of this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

  1. Specification for implementation, design approach, and architecture for the functionality listed above.
  2. Open-source code repository to observe progress over time, as well as weekly progress updates.
  3. Launching Phase 1: Prototype & User testing
  4. Launching Phase 2: Voting
  5. Launching Phase 3: Results

How should badgeholders measure impact upon completion of this Mission (RFP)?

Here is some of our past work:

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Having built the above referenced prototype, the BuidlGuidl is eager to bring the project to completion. We have allocated resources internally and are prepared to work with the Collective and badgeholders to create a voting experience that exceeds all expectations. The BuidlGuidl's context is great, having been a recipient in past rounds in addition to our founder, Austin Griffith, being a badgeholder - we have a well rounded viewpoint on the challenges that lie in the voting process and see this values-based strategic overview approach as a huge step forward.

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria (if applicable):

  1. Onboarding flow: Bring badgeholders (or ballot reviewers) up to speed on the features available and the typical workflow for creating a ballot inside the application with a guided tour. Helpful tooltips throughout the application will ensure maximum understanding of each feature.
  2. Impact Metric Discovery: All available metrics will be listed with detailed descriptions accessible upon click. They will also be searchable.
  3. Ballot viewing & editing: Impact metrics can be weighted differently as each badgeholder sees fit. Advanced filter criteria can be applied with an intuitive UI. These filters will allow badgeholders to include, exclude or add a reward multiplier effect based on any data point available on the applicants. All of a badgeholders impact metric selections along with their filters will be saved and made available to be used and further customized by other badgeholders for their ballot creation process. Comprehensive search functionality will make these easily accessible to each badgeholder.
  4. Ballot submission: When a badgeholder is ready to submit they will be prompted to share their ballot on Farcaster (and other socials) so that they can show the community how they allocated funds to projects making the biggest impact. Social messages will contain links to the badgeholders ballot in a read-only mode.
  5. Community Ballot Review: During and after the ballot submission period, badgeholders and non-badgeholders will have the ability to search through all submitted ballots and review their impact metrics, weightings and filters.

We are three cofounders that have worked together for 8+ years building high quality consumer and enterprise products that have millions of users.

Previous web3 projects:

Previous client work:

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Success for this mission is building a voting platform that's performant, beautiful, and most importantly gives the voters the proper context and information to engage in a new experimental voting format. It requires fast iteration and user testing, much like any startup product. Our team has worked together as cofounders for 8+ years, have shipped web products used by millions of users:

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria:

While we would want to spend time with the OP team to dive deeper into requirements, here’s our initial proposed solution based on the Mission Request and evaluation of data source:

  1. Onboarding: The onboarding process is arguably the highest impact aspect of the product to ensure a successful voting experience. We would explore an onboarding experience that starts with a “prep room” along with a guided tour once the user enters the voting experience.

    • Prep Room (Optional) - The first time the user lands in the platform, they’re in the prep room. They’re provided with onboarding information that helps set the context of the experience, along with other details (e.g. impact metrics definitions) they can dive into if interested.
      • Introduction video explaining what impact metric based voting is.
      • Animated demonstration of how voting works
      • Materials that explain what the impact metrics are and how they’re derived
        • Some impact metric discovery happens in this part of the onboarding experience.
    • Guided Tour - After the user leaves the onboarding room and lands in the voting experience, we present a guided tour of the voting interface, pointing out key areas as well as going through the voting process.

  2. Discover Impact Metrics: Impact metric discovery should happen across the experience, starting with the onboarding flow and also discoverable during the voting process. We think this is the single most important thing to get right — make the user fully understand what they’re basing their votes on.

    • Onboarding - As mentioned previously, impact metrics information could be included in the prep room before the user enters the voting experience.
    • Voting Side Bar - We would explore a searchable side bar list of impact metrics, with card pop ups that explain each impact metric, share the sources of data, and could even have video / audio of someone explaining the impact metric.

    • Tech Notes:

      • Fetching impact metrics from Open Source Observer API.

        • Endpoint: https://opensource-observer.hasura.app/v1/graphql

          query GetCodeMetrics {
  code_metrics_by_project(
    limit: 10
    order_by: { avg_active_devs_6_months: desc_nulls_last }
  ) {
    project_id
    project_name
    # FULL LIST OF IMPACT METRICS #
  }
}

  3. View & Edit Ballot: Ballot adjustment should be a smooth experience, starting with the selection of impact metrics. We’d build simple weight selection for each selected impact metric along with a live graph visualization of how the weights select impact OP distribution.

    1. Edge Case Handling - We may want to enable ways for the user to make exceptions for projects that have unique reasons why they spike or are deficient on particular metrics. That includes ways for the voter to override metrics for any project and ways to flag metrics outliers.
    2. Tech notes:
      1. List of eligible projects from Agora API:
        • GET /api/v1/retropgf/round/:roundID/projects
      2. Fetching impact metrics from Open Source Observer API (same as in Discover Impact Metrics).

  4. Submit Ballot: Ballot submission should present a final summary of how they voted and the impact of their vote. Shareable modals for social media (X, Farcaster, Lens) can be included as well.

    1. Optional Zora mint upon completion?
    2. Tech notes:
      1. Ballot Submission using Agora API:
        • POST /api/v1/retropgf/round/:roundID/ballot/:addressOrENSName/submit

  5. Testing Mode: No additional product notes here.

  6. Community Ballot Review: Not mentioned in the Mission Request, but can be fleshed out to be viewable, searchable, and copyable to a Badgeholder’s own ballot.

Please outline your step-by-step plan to execute this Mission, including expected deadlines to complete each piece of work:

  1. Scope, Specs and Requirements Clarification (April 17th - 19th):
    • Collaborate with the OP team to clarify requirements and finalize the design.
    • Define the scope and technical specifications for the voting client.
  2. Design & Core Development Phase 1 (April 20th - May 17th):
    • UX/UI design following existing designs and requirements given
    • Develop the core functionality of the voting client, including onboarding, discovering impact metrics, and viewing/editing ballots.
    • Integrate Agora's API for voting functionality and Open Source Observer's API for impact metrics.
  3. Testing & Iteration Phase 1 (May 18th - 24th):
    • Conduct internal testing and debugging.
    • Make necessary adjustments based on the testing results.
  4. Prototype & User Testing (May 25st - 31st):
    • Finish the prototype of the voting client.
    • Conduct user interviews with at least 5 badgeholders to gather feedback.
  5. Development & Integration Phase 2 (May 31st - June 23rd):
    • Implement feedback from user testing to refine the voting client.
    • Finalize the voting client for the voting phase.
  6. Voting Phase (June 24th - July 8th):
    • Launch voting client for badgeholders to use for voting in Retro Funding Round 4.
    • Monitor the voting process and provide support as needed.
  7. Post-Voting Phase (July 8th - 14th):
    • Finalize results display for the Results Phase.
  8. Results Phase (July 15th - October):
    • Display the results of Retro Funding Round 4.
    • Continuously update and maintain the voting client as needed until the completion of the mission.

Please list the members of your Alliance and link to any previous work:

Our Alliance, formed through a collaboration between Curia Lab and the Catalyzt team, is dedicated to enhancing the Optimism Retro Funding mechanism. Our joint effort focuses on the development of a Retro Funding Voting UI, leveraging advanced data analytics with an intuitive user experience (UX), aiming to empower the collective with the ability to make informed decisions. This initiative is dedicated to helping enrich the mechanism for supporting public goods, facilitating a more impactful and strategic allocation of resources.

For this project, the team will consist of the following:

Here are some of our past work:

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Our alliance stands uniquely positioned to spearhead the Retro Funding Voting UI mission, underpinned by our intrinsic ties to the Optimism Collective and a shared history of impactful contributions. Here’s why we believe we are the ideal fit for this mission:

Together, our alliance marries Curia Lab's governance involvement and analytical prowess with Catalyzt's innovative problem-solving skills and experience in developing impactful tools. This synergy of strengths equips us to deliver a Retro Funding Voting UI that not only meets but exceeds the community's expectations. Our collaborative efforts aim to enhance governance participation, ensuring a more inclusive, informed, and effective Retro Funding process. Our commitment to the Optimism ecosystem, combined with our comprehensive suite of skills and experiences, makes us the optimal choice to undertake this vital mission.

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria (if applicable):

Our proposed solution for the Retro Funding Voting UI is designed to provide an intuitive, effective, and user-centric voting experience. The solution encompasses several key components, structured to address all critical aspects of the user journey from onboarding to final ballot submission. Our project will be developed in an open-source environment. We will maintain a regularly updated repository with access to design documents and progress updates.

Techstack:

Frontend Data Management / Visualization Authorization Deployment/Security Monitoring
Next.js GraphQL / Apollo RainbowKit Vercel Google Analytics
Tailwind (CSS) Highchart.js Wagmi Cloudflare Grafana/Prometheus
HeadlessUI MongoDB SIWE
Jotai

Onboarding:

Project Selection:

For instance, within the "Retro Funding 4: Onchain Builders" session, users can organize projects into distinct sets such as DeFi Projects, Infrastructure Projects, and NFT Projects. Each of these sets will utilize a specific set of impact metrics chosen by the user to best evaluate the projects within that category. For example, the DeFi Projects Set might focus on metrics like transaction volume and Total Value Locked (TVL), which are critical indicators of DeFi success but may not be relevant for Infrastructure or NFT projects. This flexibility allows badgeholders to apply the most appropriate and effective metrics to different project types, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of their evaluations.

Discover Impact Metric:

Our approach to discovering impact metrics is designed to optimize ease of use in evaluating the impacts of projects eligible for Retro Funding. This component is crucial in enabling badgeholders to make informed and impactful decisions.

Source and Integration of Metrics:

Impact metrics will be primarily sourced from Open Source Observer's dataset, accessible via their GraphQL API. If additional data sources are needed to enhance the evaluation, we will integrate these seamlessly to ensure a robust metrics framework.

From the last RPGF round, some badgeholders feel the need to spread their focus across their unfamiliar domain to accomplish the project instead of focusing on their expertise. To accommodate the expertise levels on each project among the badgeholders and simplifying the metric selection process, we will offer two distinct methods for selecting and weighting impact metrics:

Allocation Algorithms:

After the result of RPGF3, there was a debate on the ideal allocation calculation with various preferences. To accommodate different preferences for impact evaluation, we explored three distinct allocation algorithms. Each is designed to cater to various goals of distribution fairness and effectiveness, allowing badgeholders to select the method that best aligns with their objectives.

image

View & Edit Ballot:

Submit Ballot:

To streamline the ballot submission and ensure seamless integration, we will collaborate closely with the Agora team. As ballots are submitted, Agora's API will manage the secure transmission and storage of data, providing badgeholders with immediate feedback and confirmation of their submissions.

Ballot and Projects Attestation:

Our UI enables robust community engagement by allowing users to issue on-chain attestations for both projects and badgeholders' ballots (if applicable):

Testing Mode:

All non-badgeholders will have access to a sandbox environment where they can explore the voting UI. This tool will educate the community, increase engagement, and provide a better understanding of the Retro Funding process.

Please outline your step-by-step plan to execute this Mission, including expected deadlines to complete each piece of work:

We have already started working on the project with our initial design prototype and functional prototype.

Hi all – thanks for the excellent submissions and discussion! 🌞

The Optimism Foundation has selected Owocki's proposal https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/ecosystem-contributions/issues/173#issuecomment-2050284605 to move forward with the work described in this Foundation Mission. That said, we're really excited about the amount of interest from everyone here!

To all the other teams that applied, we'd love to help you find the right way to contribute to the Optimism Collective! There are lots of open Delegate Mission requests and you can expect more Foundation Missions to follow soon. In addition, there are builder ideas, which provide guidance on contributions which are valueble to the Collective and could be Retro Funded.

Thank you @JSeiferth for the update and congratulations to Owocki and the Gitcoin team on being selected for this exciting mission! While we are naturally disappointed not to have been chosen this time, we are eager to continue contributing to the Optimism Collective and its goals.

@JSeiferth, could you please provide some insights into the selection criteria & rationale behind the choice for this particular mission? Understanding these aspects would be immensely helpful for us to refine our future foundation missions and align them more closely with the Foundation’s expectations and needs. Thanks!
