Introduction
Project Name: SiaGraph
Name of the organization or individual submitting the proposal: CtrlAltDefeat
Describe your project
SiaGraph is a website that provides data and insights into the Sia network. SiaGraph aims to help track the growth of the network by offering users access to various metrics, including storage usage, individual host statistics, and other global network statistics.
How does the projected outcome serve the Foundation’s mission of user-owned data?
The projected outcome of SiaGraph directly supports the Foundation’s mission of user-owned data by enhancing transparency and accessibility within the Sia network. By providing data, analytics, and insights into the Sia Network, SiaGraph empowers users with the information they need to make informed decisions about storage pricing, trends, and host selection. By fostering a better understanding of the network’s operations, SiaGraph contributes to a more informed and engaged community.
We cannot provide grants to residents of jurisdictions under increased FATF monitoring, those that have active OFAC sanctions, or those that fail our bank compliance tests. We also cannot provide grants if your payment bank account is located in those same locations. Please review the following list.
Are you a resident of any jurisdiction on that list? No
Will your payment bank account be located in any jurisdiction on that list? No
Grant Specifics
Amount of money requested and justification with a reasonable breakdown of expenses:
Total: The USD equivalent of €4500. €750 per month, for a total of six months.
- Salary for myself: €500/month
- Operational expenses: €250/month
- Infrastructure €100/month
- Budget for troubleshooter/benchmarking hosts €50/month
- Budget for at least 2 Renterd nodes (renting stats) €100/month
I am unsure how much SC funds I will be using monthly, so I put it at the higher end. Any unused funds will be spent on Siagraph after this grant is completed.
What are the goals of this small grant?
The previous grant was mostly focused on stability. The aim of this grant is to expand functionality and usability.
- Renting stats
- Tokenomic stats
- Host troubleshooter. This will allow for on-demand host testing, and automatic testing with notification system via Pushbullet, possibly email, and I’m open to other suggestions.
- A full rewrite of the backend to allow additional stats to be collected more easily.
- Additional stats (TBD)
Potential risks that will affect the outcome of the project:
As I don’t have much experience building websites, or developing complex projects, there are multiple risks that are connected to each other:
- SiaGraph is something I work on next to my full time job. I may be unable to allocate enough time to complete all goals.
- Building new features/components might prove more difficult or time consuming than expected. This can result in new features being delayed or abandoned. This should have no impact on existing features.
- This is also my first time working with statistics of this scale. Visualizing new data in a useful and correct way may take longer than expected.
