SECTION 3: GRANT OBJECTIVES AND EXECUTION
Clearly outline the primary objectives of the project and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to measure success. This helps reviewers understand what the project aims to achieve and how progress will be assessed.
Objectives:
- Since launch of v2, tools developed to monitor v1 have been adapted to provide surface level analytics.
Current tools include:
- GMX v2 bot, providing weekly & daily metrics on protocol usage, information on available liquidity, and current funding fee APRs (public calls ~300-400 per month)
- GMX v2 positions, allowing subscribers (70 currently) to monitor the increase and decrease of all positions on v2
- GMX Trading Whales, allowing subscribers (35 currently) to monitor the increase and decrease of significant positions on v2
- GMX Funding Fee Calculator, allowing users to calculate projected funding APRs through an interactive telegram bot on GMX v2 markets based on current open interest, available liquidity, and requested position size
The scope of the project will be to maintain and build out these tools further by:
- Updating the GMX Trading Stats Channel (700+ subscribers) to include v2 metrics
- Creating real time monitoring notifications for active positions (approaching take profit points, liquidation levels, new available liquidity) through an interactive bot
- Expanding the tools for users on discord
- Monitoring swaps through GMX v2 pools
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): [Specify the KPIs, including but not limited to total value locked, transaction volume, and number of users that will be used to measure success in achieving the grant objectives]
- Tracking number of calls to each bot
- Tracking subscribers changes across channels
How will receiving a grant enable you to foster growth or innovation within the GMX ecosystem?: [Provide details]
- The development of analytics that are digestible and easy to share offer a great marketing opportunity for the contributors and the community alike and have helped bring attention to the protocol through the last 18-24 months.
- During a period where GMX v1 was facing a liquidity crunch, snipermonke01 developed a tool which would alert users to new available liquidity in their given market for custom position sizes. When available, this would send the user telegram messages allowing for available liquidity to be captured by users as soon as it became available. Developing such a tool for v2 markets could prove equally as fruitful given the high demand for liquidity on GMX v2 thus far
