January was the 4th month of the IDEAS program (Community Suggestions). Details of the program are above and provided suggestions can be accessed in full here: https://app.dework.xyz/pokt-network/suggestions
Results:
In the month of January, we received 4 community suggestions, ranked below by community upvotes. Feedback from responsible teams and agreed actions for each are:
- Suggestion 1 - Crossvertise our Discord Events
DrKidd suggested that we aim to increase participation in our community Events in Discord by cross-advertising these across our social channels. @Ming has advised this has been added to current actions and will go forward by:
- Coordinating with POKTnews to include all posted events on his weekly update
- Ensuring event announcement in 2 occurrences on Discord, Telegram, Twitter (@PoktNews ) and Reddit, including an Awareness post and then a reminder on the day of the event
Thanks for this valuable and actionable suggestion
Reward: YES
Value: $200
- Suggestion 2 - Create a dashboard for PNF/DAO payments
@Cryptocorn suggested that we create a dashboard so that community members can track payments made by PNF or the DAO quickly. We strongly believe in this level of transparency and aim to complete this in short order. Please note we may need some time to work on an automated mechanism so bare with us.
Reward: YES
Value: $400
- Suggestion 3 - Provide a meaningful error message
0xMo0nR3kt3r expressed that users find the following error message vague and frusrating :{'message': 'Internal JSON-RPC error.', 'code': -32603}
@gabalab from the PNI Product team is in the process of connecting with 0xMo0nR3kt3r to better understand the issue and best ways to resolve
Reward: YES
Value: $200
- Suggestion 4 - Add Arbitrum
User “Somebody” added a community suggestion to add Arbitrum as a Pocket chain. Great suggestion but the core team were a bit quicker and had already added.
Reward: NO
Value: $0
Retrospective:
The IDEAS mechanism continues to bring in suggestions that translate into backlog or work products for the DAO and PNI teams. Next Month we will more opportunities for the community to engage with the mechanism and provide input and feedback towards operations. @Ming will share more on this soon.
One additional note is that a new set of suggestion “templates” were added for you to add protocol feature requests via Dework. Please do make your feature requests known via the suggestions panel.
