Balancer Grants Wave 4 starts off close to home with Xeonus
Building out our Balancer.tools, DAO treasury portal and its Gitbook.
The team at Balancer Grants subDAO is proud to announce the approval of the grant application by Xeonus to expand our understanding of the Balancer protocol by building tools such as analytics and documentation.
We are very excited to offer this grant to another one of our very own community members. Xeonus has outlined a very extensive list of items he is looking to complete during this grant’s timeline. A timeline which will span over 3 months at a cost of $34,500. The first milestone will center around improving the current balancer.tools site which tracks BAL incentives today across Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, and Arbitrum. In addition there will be a new site where users can view protocol analytics such as volume, TVL, and fees by pool. The second milestone will focus on creating an open-source template for community sites based on balancer.tools and there will also be an integration of the Balancer DAO notion into balancer.tools. The second milestone will include a buildout of a Balancer DAO treasury portal. The third and final milestone will be rounded out by giving attention to expanding documentation. The Balancer DAO gitbook will continue to be added to and a community focused development repository will be constructed. There is a lot of content to be delivered in these three robust milestones and by the end of the grant the community will have a lot of powerful analytics tools at their disposal.
Xeonus is a very valuable asset to the Balancer DAO and his efforts to date are most appreciated. He has been building since he first arrived on the scene and he isn’t looking to stop anytime soon. The tools that he has built so far have been used by the community on a daily basis and have filled information gaps that the protocol had. I know I personally use these tools all the time. I hope Xeonus sticks around long term so we can all benefit from the high end toolsets he builds. — ZeKraken
Balancer is one of the most sophisticated DeFi projects in the space. I want to better understand the full potential and therefore build meaningful tools so users of the protocol can get the most out of Balancer. I feel humbled to be able to contribute to such a great platform through my grant. — Xeonus, Baller
