Bookkeeping Boost

[harshmaur]

Project Idea

Create a bookkeeping app for DAOhaus to bring more visibility to the transactions inside vaults and the tokens they hold. We already have the MVP ready, and this RIP allows taking it further to a stage that will make it useful to real people looking to audit the vaults.

Summary

Since the MVP is already built, this RIP focuses on making it usable. Here are the major elements of the RIP

1. Verify the correctness of MVP
2. Integrate MVP with DAOHaus
3. Inform DAOs about the feature.
4. Gather feedback from DAO accountants
5. Enrich transactions from on-chain data
6. Improve Visual Elements of MVP

All of these are explained here https://hackmd.io/KhRb5ImySYy7kkwDc2n87A#RIP-Proposal

Why should we build this?

Moloch DAOs have vaults and everyone (most importantly, accountants, auditor and regulators) need visibility on every transaction in the Vault. Just like you do bookkeeping for your company's account, we need something for DAOs. The chain explorer is not enough because

1. It is hard to understand
2. Makes it hard to augment and categorize transactions.
3. It merely serves the purpose of verification of the transaction (just like you would attach a supporting invoice for a transaction in the real world)

The bookkeeping app will provide that visibility making it easier for stakeholders to analyse and categorise their transactions and make it easy to follow regulations today and in future.

Anything else you'd like to add?

@scottrepreneur I added another line item because I know hooking up query params (table URL sync) is a complex implementation.

whoops. didn't mean to close that.
