[DRAFT] [GF: Phase 1 Proposal] DefiLlama Reports
by 0xngmi - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 31, 2022, 2:42 a.m.
Content: Project name: DefiLlama Author name and contact info 0 xngmi I understand that I will be required to provide additional KYC information to the Optimism Foundation to receive this grant: Yes L 2 recipient address: 0 x 08 a 3 c 2 A 819 E 3 de 7 ACa 384 c 798269 B 3 Ce 1 CD 0 e 437 Which Voting Cycle are you applying for?: Cycle 9 Grant category: Tooling Is this proposal applicable to a specific committee? Yes, tooling 2 Project links: Website: https://defillama.com 2 Twitter: @defillama Discord/Discourse/Community: discord.gg/buPFYXzDDd Please link to any previous projects the team has meaningfully contributed to: DefiLlama, LlamaPay Relevant usage metrics Not applicable Competitors, peers, or similar projects: Messari Is/will this project be open sourced? Yes, completely Optimism native?: No Date of deployment/expected deployment on Optimism: No applicable Ecosystem Value Proposition: We’ll deliver multiple reports on Optimism: Quarterly report on state of the network, metrics and progress in the last quarter, to be delivered at the end of each quarter Governance reports, published at the end of each season, with data based analysis on governance for the next 6 seasons. Ecosystem report at the end of Q 1 2023 with data-based analysis of optimism ecosystem These reports will be made available on our website, defillama.com 2 , under a new reports section, and distributed across all channels we have available. We are aware our distribution channels may be lacking compared to our competitors, but we aim to make up for it by open sourcing everything related to our reports, including all the code that we use to generate the data, as well as maintaining any dashboards we develop for it. We believe this is quite important since it will allow everyone to cross-check our numbers (heavily improving transparency) while also making it possible for other people to generate new reports like the ones we’ve made. We are aware that by doing so we’ll rug our own moat (after all, why keep paying us to make reports when you can just generate them), and we are completely fine with that. What’s more, it would be best if our service would generate long-lasting tools for optimism that anyone can use instead of generating any kind of dependency upon us. We are also aware that defillama isn’t known for our reports, so over the next week I’m going to be working on a sample report on optimism, completely free of charge, to prove our commitment and provide a sample of our work. Has your project previously applied for an OP grant? There’s another grant, unrelated to this one, currently in process to get voted on. Number of OP tokens requested: 182 , 500 OP Did the project apply for or receive OP tokens through the Foundation Partner Fund?: No Proposal for token distribution: Tokens will be spent covering the costs associated with the reports

[REVIEW] [GF: Phase 1 Proposal] DefiLlama
by 0xngmi - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 29, 2022, 5:20 p.m.
Content: Small remark but I’d like to clarify that we will use this money to continue improving defillama and build products, it’s not purely retroactive funding where we are paid for previous costs. Instead, we are asking for money to keep improving defillama and launch new products that benefit everyone. The way I see it, the only difference against other grants is that we cannot provide something like a “integrate optimism” milestone since we have already integrated Optimism into every aspect of our products, and providing milestones for new products wouldn’t be optimal since we keep a very close loop on products and keep our product lifecycle extremely flexible (so we don’t have a clear outline of everything we’ll be building over the coming months). Because of how vague that is I thought the best way to just provide a reasoning for expenses based on previous grants (also helps since OP is quite volatile while amounts previously awarded are fixed). This is important because retroactive funding carries a very different set of expectations (you are getting paid for previous work, so you can do whatever you want with the money received), whereas here we are instead committing to work on more crypto analytics and spend all money building the product. I can understand where the confusion is coming from since in this proposal I’m heavy leveraging our previous work to argue for receiving this funding, but its actually like “Look at all we’ve built, please fund us to build all these new cool things” rather than “We’ve built all this, please pay us retroactively”. Regarding RPGF, for us it would be much better if we could proceed to voting, and in case the community rejects it we’ll just accept it and wait for RPGF rounds.

[Ready] [GF: Phase 1 Proposal] Messari
by 0xngmi - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 28, 2022, 11:28 p.m.
Content: From DefiLlama I’d like to extend a counter-offer: we’ll provide reports on the same topics for half the price, and on top of that we’ll open source all the dashboards and tools that we develop for these reports and maintain them

- jackanorak: now we’re talking. @GFXlabs this follows your lead here, I think – seeming more and more like a vendor proposal and less an ecosystem one
Seems to me that one way or another we probably would need to do some shopping around, and we don’t have a week to sort that out. I think we might want to table discussion of this proposal and maybe even get some sort of single-purpose team together to look through some offers? Could put the creation of this team in this voting round. If people signal interest in this thought, we can draft something more formal.
Messari’s reputation is certainly very strong, but I don’t think this is one we rush into.
- lefterisjp: Would you be able to draft a counter-proposal to at least have something to compare to when reviewing this proposal? As it seems that this proposal did make it in this cycle and as such needs to be reviewed.
- JackPurdy_Messari: We’re excited to see alternate proposals as it showcases other builders looking to solve a pressing DAO need. We’re big fans of Defi Llama over at Messari and have used it to inform much of our research.
However, DL’s experience remains in the raw data ingestion and dashboard building I’m not sure adequate time was spent thinking through the full extent of the resources that go into this type of longer form reporting and building out a platform to ensure it reaches a wide audience. (We left additional thoughts in the comments on the counter-proposal)
Lastly, while it seems the goal was to undercut us on price DL is requesting 300k OP to build the underlying data infra and then 182k OP to write the reports. Our proposal is less than that to do both.
