Roadmap

We've been hard at work on Stakeboard since August, and despite having to fund the project's development until now from the team's savings and on a volunteer basis, we can proudly say we've made huge progress: Platform design is complete and several core functions are built.—As of late November, SPOs can now verify ownership of their pools and create Stakeboard profiles. Nami wallet integration has been completed and delegating directly from Stakeboard has been enabled. And we recently launched the project's landing page at stakeboard.net.

Unfortunately though, we're quickly approaching the point where our abilities to self-fund the project will run out, which is why being awarded Catalyst funds for our Fund7 proposals will be critical to sustain project development.

That being said, Here's our Stakepad Roadmap:

January 2022

  • Reward dashboard for delegators for a selected ISO
  • ISO project creation
  • ISO SPO signup system

February 2022

  • ISO pool selection system
  • ISO Project dashboard
  • Design UI

March 2022

  • ISO Communication Centre
  • Refine UI UX
  • MVP launch

Key Performance Indicators:

1 month

  • Provide dashboards for at least one live or historical FISO

3 months

  • Increase by 10% Stakeboard base account creation (i.e 550)
  • Increase by 10% verified SPOs on Stakeboard (i.e 165)
  • 10 ISO delegations executed through Stakepad

6 months

  • Provide dashboards for all live ISOs (if available)
  • Increase by 15% Stakeboard base account creation (i.e 1725)
  • Increase by 15% verified SPOs on Stakeboard (i.e 230)
  • Launch an ISO on Stakepad
  • 20 ISO delegations executed through Stakepad

Cost breakdown

+ UX/UI $ 4300

+ Project Management and Marketing $ 2900

+ Front End $ 8500 (170 hours at 50% of developers' accustomed wages)

+ Backend $ 15500 (310 hours at 50% of developers' accustomed wages)

+ Cloud $ 600

+ DevOps $ 3500
