# Technical Grant Proposal

* **Project:** Alphaday - PlatON Dashboard

## Project Overview

Alphaday is a powerful crypto workflow aggregator that pulls in news, on-chain data, social media, web3 services and much more into one customizable UI.

We help solve the issue of information fragmentation and aim to serve as a central point where any user (whether they are a developer, enthusiast, investor) can instantly get the PlatON information they need, stay up to date on the latest videos & podcasts featuring PlatON and much more.

Alphaday is and will remain to be free-to-use for end users.

### Project Details

We are aiming to be the de facto homepage for all crypto users. People using Alphaday to stay up to date with their favourite crypto projects, listen to podcasts, do research, participate in discussions and much more. Other competitors are all competing within much narrower niches. We get their services and integrate them into our app so users don’t have to jump from one service to another, it's all available on Alphaday.

Example Dashboard we built for Arbitrum: https://app.alphaday.com/b/arbitrum/

Alphaday is a React-Typescript dashboard on the frontend using a Python-Django backend built on distributed infrastructure with Postgres and Redis Databases.

Data importation is automated through RSS feeds and APIs; this refers to widgets such as Discord, News, Market price, Reddit, Podcasts, Videos, Latest Video, TVL, Blog, Forum, and DAO (Snapshot).

Other widgets such as Hiring Directory/Career, Events in Calendar, Documentation, Links, etc. are manually created and updated.

Alphaday is open-source with an MIT license:

### Project Advantages

We do not have direct competitors who are competing in the experience aggregator space but our individual widgets do overlap with features offered by Dune, Nansen, Zapper/Zerion, Coingecko, Discord, DeFiLama, Snapshot.

Bear in mind that the above are feeding data to Alphaday itself.

## Future Plans
If we get a grant we will start working on the board immediately and we should have it ready within 2 months. Once we’ve launched the board, we use forums and other channels available to gather feedback and tune the dashboard. We will continue this process of iterating, deploying, and collecting feedback continuously to build a dashboard that PlatON stakeholders truly love to use.

We have just recently released a new mobile app version of Alphaday. The dashboard will be available on the desktop version, and we will adapt the new mobile app to automatically filter the ‘superfeed’ based on each project’s url; e.g. ‘/b/platon would direct users to the alphaday superfeed page and automatically filter it for PlatON.

Other future plans include further development of the app as a whole, and adding new features and functionalities. We have also started focusing on marketing more this year to boost the value our partners get from us, as well as to increase awareness of Alphaday.

## Additional Information

We have just recently released a new mobile app version of Alphaday. The dashboard will be available on the desktop version, and we will adapt the new mobile app to automatically filter the ‘superfeed’ based on each project’s url; e.g. ‘/b/platon’ would direct users to the Alphaday superfeed page and automatically filter it for PlatON.

We are also currently building a separate supplementary mobile application that enhances our marketing capabilities. Please see: https://getpulse.xyz/ (App is already live and still being developed).

Note that we can also create an exclusive PlatON application through the Pulse app in the near future.
