We're proposing a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the Polkadot ecosystem’s infrastructure to more effectively recognize, track, and incentivize the community's contributions. With a funding request of $485,000, this plan seeks to cultivate a transparent and rewarding ecosystem, directly supporting our goal to build the Agents Program, a decentralized HR framework. This framework is intended to optimize the integration of talent throughout the ecosystem's various collectives, ensuring efficient resource utilization. Our proposal is structured around four critical development components:
-
API Development ($220,000 - 2 FTEs): To build a scalable and secure system for comprehensive data collection and processing, essential for capturing a broad spectrum of agent activities within the ecosystem.
-
Web UI Creation ($75,000 - 1 FTE): To develop an accessible, user-friendly interface for exploring agents' reputations and contribution histories, making it easier for participants to navigate and understand their impact within the community.
-
Indexing Implementation ($165,000 - 1.5 FTEs): To organize, store, and swiftly retrieve data, ensuring efficient, real-time tracking of contributions and activities, which is vital for maintaining an up-to-date representation of agent efforts.
-
Communication & Information Gathering ($25,000 - 0.25 FTE): To establish direct links with every program, collective, and bounty in the ecosystem, gathering detailed operational information to compile a comprehensive directory for agents and newcomers.
The total funding request of $485,000, equivalent to 50,817.27 DOT (based on a 7-day EMA of $9.544 per DOT), will support the project over 9-month development period.

Very good initiative TOM, I think I should be able to see it in action to be able to criticize it better, I like the idea of focusing on various areas and not like the Parity ambassador program that did not have a clear direction. I would like to see it in action :)AYE
Hello,
This seems like it could address an important issue in Polkadot, however the proposal is very light on details. Performance tracking, measurement and incentivization are things that span both art and science, and inevitably have tradeoffs that come from the measurement methodology. Could you speak more about your thoughts on this in detail, and what impact/tradeoffs you are planning to make with this system? In addition, would you be able to write a more detailed proposal and strongly consider using the standard proposal template?
In addition it would be great to know more about:
- It's unclear who is going to be building this, and the expertise they have (i.e. in API development, Web Dev, Indexing). Are these developers already on the StakePlus team, and what expertise do you have in creating similar systems?
- Can you lay out the development milestones in a more detailed way? Is there a spec to justify the spend here? I would suggest looking at Nova proposals to see how they lay out development.
- Have you considered building out this program / tech in a more agile and iterative way? It seems more like a waterfall type development which could lead to a "build it and they will come" type problem.
- Who would be the customer of the product(s) here, and to what degree have you validated the need for this?
- Transparency, Incentivization and Talent Utilization seem like good goals, but very broad and vague. Can you detail the expected impact and stakeholders in more detail? I.e. the expected impact with each of the three Phases, as well as over time?
- I believe the DF program requires the answer to many of these questions, as well as detailed development milestones. If you have already prepared the application, then perhaps you could share that or copy it into your proposal, while redacting any confidential information.
