Discussion (8)
Thank you for the proposal and the breakdown of it. Are there any additional costs (monthly/yearly) after the 20K integration? What benefits have other chains seen after integration with your dapp? Besides being able to display data with a multitude of graphs, what are the benefits? This integration for 20K is great and the breakdown is good but the milestones do not have a timeline for execution. Will this integration take a 4-6 weeks or a year? Thank you in advance for your response.
Question: Are there any additional costs (monthly/yearly) after the 20K integration?
Answer: No, there will be no additional costs.
Question: What benefits have other chains experienced after integrating with your Dapp?
Answer: After integrating with DappLooker, chains/Network have realized significant benefits, including:
Cost Savings: Integrating with DappLooker has resulted in reported cost savings of up to 60%.
Enhanced Community Analytics: Users have reported a 30X improvement in community analytics.
Faster Analytics: Analytics processes are now 5X faster.
Time Savings: Users have saved up to 80% of their time.
Data Enrichment: Data refinement has improved by 50X.
Other benefits include:
Enhanced Data Visibility: Networks integrated with DappLooker have seen substantial improvements in data transparency. Users can easily access and analyze on-chain data, fostering greater trust and a deeper understanding of network activities.
Improved Network Performance: Integration with DappLooker has enabled blockchain networks to actively monitor and enhance their performance. This has resulted in faster transaction processing, reduced congestion, and an overall increase in network reliability.
Market Insights: Chains integrated with DappLooker have gained valuable real-time market insights, empowering users to make well-informed decisions in the cryptocurrency space.
Community Engagement: Our visualization capabilities have made intricate blockchain data more accessible, engaging, and educational for community members. This has led to a heightened comprehension of blockchain technology and increased user engagement.
Community Analytics: Community analytics can be effortlessly conducted using DappLooker's no-code tool with on-chain datasets.
Question: What is the estimated timeline for this integration, 4-6 weeks or a year?
Answer: The complete integration, including all milestones, is expected to take approximately 6 weeks.
This seems like a well thought out funding breakdown. While I am not a "back-end" guy, the SDK tool kit alone seems like a great addition. And we are expecting migrations, so the metrics functionality will keep prospective projects apprecaiting the analytics that XDC prides itself on. Both Milestones, 1 & 2, look very promising and value adding.
Thank you @sean_w .
