Description

A Flow dashboard on Alphaday:
Alphaday is a powerful crypto workflow aggregator that pulls in news, on-chain data, social media, web3 services and much more into one customizable UI.

Live Product URL: https://app.alphaday.com/
Example Dashboard we built for Dfinity through a grant agreement: https://app.alphaday.com/b/dfinity/

Backed by: Hashkey, Signum, other VCs as well as Ethereum KoLs including Ethereum Foundation members.

Established prominent partners: Aave, TheGraph, Avalanche, Dfinity, Ethereum Classic, RocketPool, and others.

Problem statement

• Target audience
  We aim to create a dashboard that serves any Flow user, holders, developers, VCs, and pretty much any stakeholder whether they are completely new to the ecosystem or an expert.

• Evidence for the need
  We’ve conducted market research on users and currently people’s regular crypto workflows consist of jumping from one browser tab to another to check prices, read news, follow social feeds, 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 on Alphaday. In this sense, we do not have any direct competitor that can provide 50 different types of services and functionality within one dashboard.

Alphaday helps users to stay up to date and informed with Flow through a single customizable UI.

Proposed solution

Alphaday helps solve the issue of information fragmentation. We aim to serve as a central point where any user (whether they are a developer, enthusiast, investor) can instantly get the Flow information they need, stay up to date on the latest videos & podcasts featuring Flow and much more.

Besides helping the existing community with keeping up with what’s going on in Flow on a daily basis, we will engage in co-marketing efforts to bolster user awareness of both Flow as well as Alphaday.

Impact

• In what ways does this benefit the broader Flow developer ecosystem?

We launched our public beta in August 2022 and currently have ~15,000 MAU active users (organic) with minimal resources spent on marketing; our roadmap for 2024 is focused on marketing a lot more. Average session time per user is 9 minutes and retention rate across 1/7/30 days is 56%/53%/50% as measured by Hotjar.

In terms of numbers, considering Flow has ~200K twitter followers and using this as a very crude proxy for community size, we would consider it a success if we could serve a modest 1% of them on a monthly basis (~2K MAU) as a start.

Milestones and funding

Note: Please consider adoption and/or maintenance milestones at the end of your project.

Milestone	Deliverables	Timeline	Risks	USD proposal
1 - Development	Draft Dashboard	3 weeks	-	2000
2 - Deployment	Publishing and Marketing of Dashboard	3 weeks	-	2000
3 - Maintenance	Maintenance & improvement of the dashboard	Indefinitely	-	0

Total funding proposed: <4000 USD>

The grant size reflects the team’s hours required to build and maintain the Flow Dashboard.
We will require 3 devs (1 frontend, 1 backend, and 1 content analyst) working on this for 5 days for initial deployment plus maintenance over the longer course. Our estimated total cost for this is roughly 4,000 USD.
