Introduction and Objective:
To increase engagement with the K9 DAO Dashboard and simplify access to data-driven insights for community discussions, voice chats, and social media outreach, this forum topic is dedicated to ongoing feedback on desired data analytics for the K9 Finance DAO. The goal is to identify and prioritize data points that the community values, enabling informed decision-making and attracting new investors through transparent, compelling metrics.
Benefits to K9 Finance Community:
Accessible and relevant data enhances understanding of the K9 Finance DAO’s performance for holders, stakers, traders, liquid stakers, farmers, and investors. Visualizations like graphs, charts, and tables make complex data digestible, especially for those unfamiliar with the K9 Finance platform or the Shibarium ecosystem. By showcasing meaningful metrics, we can:
- Highlight the project’s impact and growth potential to external audiences.
- Justify the investment in the Dune Analytics dashboard by driving traffic and engagement.
- Inform strategic decisions, such as governance proposals, new product development, marketing campaigns, and identifying gaps in the crypto ecosystem.
- Foster community engagement by addressing data needs and encouraging data-driven discussions.
Proposal Details
What:
This topic serves as a long-term forum to collect community and stakeholder feedback on desired data points related to K9 Finance DAO’s products, wallet activity, smart contract performance, and token metrics across Ethereum, Shibarium, and other supported chains.
Who:
- Stakeholders: Community members, investors, or team members submitting query ideas.
- Operations Team: Monitors feedback, creates PBIs, and coordinates with stakeholders and developers.
- Developers: Build, test, and publish queries to the K9 DAO Dashboard.
Where:
Queries will be developed using Dune Analytics and published to the K9 DAO Dashboard under the official K9 Finance DAO account.
When:
This is an ongoing initiative. New query ideas will be reviewed and prioritized as they are submitted, with tasks assigned to developers based on community needs and resource availability.
How:
- Stakeholder Submission: Stakeholders submit query ideas as comments in this forum topic using the provided template. They serve as the primary contact for clarifications.
Template
**Telegram Username**: [e.g., @CryptoAnalyst123]
**Email (Optional)**: [e.g., analyst@crypto.org]
**Description**:
[Clear explanation of the query's purpose, e.g., "Analyze daily trading volume of K9 token on Shibarium DEXs over the past 6 months to identify trading patterns."]
**Business Value**:
[Why this query matters, e.g., "Tracking trading volume helps assess market activity and informs liquidity strategies for K9 token."]
**Requirements**:
- **Blockchain Network**: [e.g., Shibarium, Ethereum]
- **Data Sources**: [e.g., DEX trades, K9 token contract events, specific protocols like ShibaSwap]
- **Time Range**: [e.g., Last 6 months, Specific dates: 2025-01-01 to 2025-06-27]
- **Granularity**: [e.g., Daily, Hourly, Per Transaction]
- **Output Format**: [e.g., Table, Line Chart, Bar Graph]
- **Key Metrics**: [e.g., Transaction volume (USD), Unique wallet count, Staking rewards]
- **Filters/Parameters**: [e.g., Trades > $1000, Specific token pair: KNINE/BONE]
**Additional Information**:
[e.g., "K9 token contract: 0x123...abc; Focus on ShibaSwap trades; Exclude bot transactions if possible."]
-
Operations Review: The operations team monitors the forum, reviews submissions, and creates a Product Backlog Item (PBI) with detailed requirements, additional context, and any clarifications needed from stakeholders.
-
Development: Developers write the Dune Analytics query, conduct performance testing, validate data accuracy, and execute regression testing. They collaborate with operations to ensure alignment with stakeholder expectations.
-
Validation and Sign-Off: Operations demos the completed query to stakeholders for approval.
- 4a. Revisions: If adjustments are needed, the PBI is returned to developers for updates. Steps 3 and 4 are repeated until stakeholder approval is secured.
-
Publication: Once approved, developers publish the query to the K9 DAO Dashboard for public access.
Impact Assessment
-
Positive Impact:
- Enhances community knowledge of K9 Finance DAO’s performance, identifying areas for improvement.
- Drives project growth by enabling data-driven marketing, governance, and product development.
- Increases dashboard engagement, justifying development efforts and attracting investors.
-
Potential Challenges:
- Maintenance Overhead: As queries increase, maintaining the dashboard may strain resources. To mitigate, developers must follow coding best practices, using modular sub-queries and clear documentation to simplify updates.
- Testing Needs: New queries must not disrupt existing dashboard functionality. Implementing automated testing (unit, integration, and regression tests) can reduce regression risks and ensure query reliability.
-
Mitigation Strategies:
- Adopt standardized query development practices to streamline maintenance.
- Implement an automated test suite to validate new and existing queries.
- Regularly review query performance to optimize for Dune Analytics constraints.
