Rinkeby Alpha MVP build v0.1.0
The Panvala development team is excited to announce the launch of our Rinkeby Alpha MVP, which is now available at app.panvala.com.
Built by ConsenSys, Panvala is a platform that helps fund the work that the whole Ethereum community depends on. This Panvala platform is used by PAN token holders to determine which grant applications should be funded using a process called slate governance.
Leading up to the launch of this system, we’ve issued grants to teams like Gnosis, Status, and Level K for work they do that makes it easier to build secure systems, and helps the Ethereum network scale to its full potential.
This is the first publicly usable build of Panvala, being released for the purposes of demonstrating the system, increasing open-source contributions, and garnering user feedback. Please keep in mind, this is a very early build that lacks the more advanced functionality in our short-term roadmap.
If you have any feedback or would like to receive test tokens for trying out the system, please send an email to info@panvala.com.
What’s Included
- The token capacitor, a smart contract holding all available tokens for grant allocation, and releasing them in declining numbers on a quarterly schedule.
- Grant applicants are able to create a grant proposal. Grant proposals created on the platform are public and can be evaluated by the whole of the Panvala community.
- Grant proposals can be selected by the platform’s token holders who curate lists of grant proposals they recommend to be funded. These lists of grant proposals are called slates.
- Slates themselves can be viewed by the platform’s token holders and evaluated as a part of the platform’s quarterly ballot.
- The platform’s ballot includes a ranked choice voting system that empowers the platform’s token holders to commit votes they feel confident in.
- Token holders are able to connect their MetaMask wallet to complete all of the above.
Coming Soon
Other major items in our short-term roadmap include:
- Platform governance slate creation, giving token holders control over governance parameters
- Staking in order to create the necessary economic incentives around slate curation
- Platform notifications to empower Panvala’s token holders to be actively engaged in the governance of the system
- Vote logic and grant execution
- Donations made directly through the platform to Panvala’s token capacitor
