Ambition you plan to work on, including a very simple description of your planned work

Pocket network explorer requirements

Poktradar

Poktradar is a blockchain explorer focused on offering the user a fresh UI/UX experience by giving a quick glimpse about the important insights across the blockchain data on pokt.network with focus on market information, governance and user account overview.

We going to work on the following phases:

Phase 1: Wirefaming and UI/UX validation (1-3 weeks)
Phase 2: Frontend / Backend (1-4months prob less)
Phase 3: Production deployment and maintenance

Below are the features per view that we want to deliver, the features may change over time depending on the needs and priorities identified by the community and from the foundation.
DISCLAIMER: some of this features can change based on the needs of the foundation

Confirming this socket is open and looking forward to a progress update

doctorrobinson · January 5, 2024, 9:43pm

@commander_nodefleet thanks for opening the socket. I know we’re behind on getting this one open - if you’ve already done work (I’m hearing that you have) could you please drop an update here so we can pay you back to the starting date of this post please?

Once you’ve dropped an update this socket is open for January, and Ben will get you set up on the payment stream next week and backpay for this work. If you haven’t done any work (and no update) we’ll get you set up at the end of this month for pay. Thanks!

Additionally - I’m asking all open Sockets to join us next Thursday for the Builders All-hands. I’d like to encourage people getting paid via the DAO to know what’s going on with the protocol, and have a forum to ask questions and cross pollinate, especially as docs are crucial. Matteo will run the first half w/ developers & protocol, and then I’d take the second half to review sockets work and unblock you and anyone else. The ultimate goal here being more cross-pollination and collaboration, so looking forward to you showing up and sharing on Thursday!

Hi @commander_nodefleet can the team message me (@sinachpat on Discord), @doctorrobinson or @Adz on discord for the updated brand guide for Pokt. Some of the elements in the dashboard design above is from the old brand guide.
Great work so far too guys, Keep building

commander_nodefleet · January 5, 2024, 11:10pm

Thanks @SinachPat

For our next update we’ll be updating it and finishing the remaining views + presenting a testing plan for the wireframe.

Have a nice weekend!

Update #2

UI/UX by @kaanor

We have updated branding and created the UI for the other views.

Blocks

Transactions

Relays

Market

Governance

Link to prototype

We have also worked on a UX Testing Plan that is explained below:

Goals:

Uncover any usability issue in the explorer
See if people understand how to search or explore within the data we provide.
Retrieve the user’s opinion on the design of the explorer.
See if there is any other feature we need to add or remove
See if the participant is successful in completing the tasks we determine.

Tools:

Zoom: for video conferencing
Maze: for remote usability testing and continuous research
Notion: for project management and notes

Format:

First we want to conduct a pilot testing within Nodefleet. We will choose somebody from the team that had no part in the usability process so far. This will help us first to test this plan, refine taks, questions and identify any issues within the process, before starting.

Testing will be made through quantitative and qualitative research. We aim to retrieve objective data from usability testing, but at the same time understand the motivations, thoughts and opinions of our users.

The testing will be conducted remotely, but moderated by the researcher via the tools we have decided to use.

User Personna:

POKT Holder
Within the Pocket Network Community
Node User
Node Runner Owner
Pocket Dev
No specific age or gender

Audience:

We will be testing the following quantity of users and this will be their characteristics:

(3) POKT users with nodes

Less than 5 nodes User
10 nodes User
15 nodes or more User

(2) Users that had participated and voted on the DAO Forums Proposals (at least more than 2 votes)

(2) Node Runners Users (Owners)

(2) Developers

Tasks:
We want to create a mix between exploratory tasks that don’t have a right or wrong answer and more specific tasks to look at how the participant performs in a specific task.

Some of the tasks include:

Review a Block
Review Relays
Search by an address
Review an account within the transactions table
Filter charts by date
Change within Mainnet and Testnet explorer
Review their own wallet
Review their nodes
Search for the foundations incomes and expenses
See market information

Evaluation metrics:

Time-on-task: how long does it take for participants to complete a usability task?

Likes, dislikes, and recommendations: direct insights into what participants thought and felt about the usability of your designs. We will also send a form where the user can submit this feedback.

Critical errors: these are errors that impact the success of the usability task.

Non-critical errors: these are minor deviations from the usability test goal, like navigating to the wrong tab or scrolling past the required action.

Error-free rate: the percentage of participants that complete the usability task with no errors whatsoever.

Successful task completion: this is the percentage of tasks that are successfully completed by participants overall, regardless of how they got there.

Usability Report:

Once testing is done, we will create an usability report that can then be shared with relevant teams to update them on findings for the current and future projects.

This usability report will include a variety of details from the usability testing process, not only results, to ensure everyone understands the importance and impact of the usability research we have conducted.

Timelines:

The following timelines describes the UX process:

Jan 30th Pilot Testing within Nodefleet

Jan 31st - Feb 2 Final review on User Testing

Feb 5th - Feb 19th User testing

Feb 20th - Feb 27th Usability Report and end of UI Process

Hi!

we had a delay reporting our progress but we’ve been working in the background.

We’ll make the effort to continue reporting on a monthly basis/every time there’s a new big improvement on the development.

Here’s the highlights of the last releases:

Update on UI/UX tests

The test was performed with 6-7 different users from diverse contexts, we tried to contact more users but some of then didn’t respond in time and we released the report with the results we had in hand.

In case you still want to add more value/perspective around the UI test with the full functionality, please feel free to test it here:

Here’s the full UI/UX report:

For anything on this end. Please feel free to contact directly @kaanor or drop any update here.

Update on explorer development:

Few of he fields/data on the following views are mocked due to work in progress on our indexer. Those fields are highlighted on the views

Home
Information about total validator and total service are mocked up fields

Market information

Relay information

Governance information

Some of the fields of the following views are missing/hidden due to issues with our indexer, which are still under development.

Blocks

Transactions

Update on the indexer/backend:
We had to re-create the structure and re-sync/re-architect considering the new shannon data structure to support the 2 networks from the start and to improve the database perfomance/distribution.
