Foundation Mission Request: Retro Funding 4 Voting UI

Proposed Foundation Mission (RFP): Retro Funding 4 Voting Client
S5 Intent: Governance Accessibility
Proposal Tier: Fledgling Tier
Baseline grant amount: 75k OP
Should this Foundation Mission be fulfilled by one or multiple teams: one
OP Labs or Optimism Foundation Sponsor: Jonas (gh: @JSeiferth, TG/Discord: @jonassft)
Last Submission by: April 12th
Selection by: April 17th
Completion date: 31st October 2024

How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) help accomplish the above Intent?

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) Round 4 is taking place from May til August and will reward Onchain Builders who contribute to the success of Optimism. This round seeks to expand the reach and impact of the network by rewarding those building across the Superchain, increasing demand for blockspace, and driving value to the Collective. This includes builders who bring new users to the Superchain, drive network effects and protocol usage.

Retro Funding 4 experiments with impact metric based voting, in which voters express their preferences by selecting and weighting a number of metrics, instead of reviewing or voting on individual projects. Thus the voting experience looks vastly different to any existing grant or public goods voting experience.

Please refer to the impact calculator (spec), built by Buidl Guidl, as an early stage prototype of a metric-based voting experience.

Within the voting client, badgeholders (voters in Retro Funding) need to be able to discover relevant impact metrics, assign weight to them and submit their ballot. An excellent voting experience is core to supporting the work of badgeholders and ensuring an accurate Retro Funding process.

What is required to execute this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

Completing this mission requires building a frontend that powers the voting experience of badgeholders in Retro Funding 4. The Frontend will be based on existing designs and requirements, that will be provided to the team(s) that take on this mission.

Core functionality of the voting client:

Onboarding: When a badgeholder lands on the voting application, they are greeted with a small onboarding flow, surfacing relevant information and linking to important resources
Discover impact metrics: A badgeholder is able to discover impact metrics. Within a list of metrics a badgeholder can see metric name, metric creator, metric description, metric application among projects, as well as the option to add the metric to their ballot.
View & edit ballot: A badgeholder’s ballot is made up of different impact metrics and their weighting. The badgeholder is able to add new impact metrics to their ballot and edit the weighting of impact metrics. Within the ballot view, a graph visualization of the applied impact metrics is surfaced to the badgeholder, so that they can understand how their decisions impact the allocation of OP among projects.
Submit ballot: A badgeholder is able to submit their ballot
Testing mode: non-badgeholders can access the same functionality in a testing enviorement

Technical implementation:

Leverage Agora’s API for voting functionality, including reading project metadata, updating ballot state and submitting ballots
Leverage Open Source Observer’s API for impact metrics

The rollout of functionality of the application will be done in multiple phases:

Phase 1: Prototype & user testing (May 31st 2024): core functionality is available and at least 5 user interviews with badgeholders have been made.
Phase 2: Voting (June 24th - July 8th 2024): badgeholders are using the voting client to vote.
Phase 3: Results (July 15th - October 2024): The voting client displays results of Retro Funding 4

What milestones will help the Collective track progress towards completion of this Foundation Mission (RFP)?

Specification for implementation, design approach, and architecture for the functionality listed above.
Open-source code repository to observe progress over time, as well as weekly progress updates.
Launching Phase 1: Prototype & User testing
Launching Phase 2: Voting
Launching Phase 3: Results

How should badgeholders measure impact upon completion of this Mission (RFP)?

Qualitative feedback on the voting experience of Retro Funding Round 4, collected via survey.
Number of badgeholders who successfully voted via the frontend

Here is some of our past work:

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Having built the above referenced prototype, the BuidlGuidl is eager to bring the project to completion. We have allocated resources internally and are prepared to work with the Collective and badgeholders to create a voting experience that exceeds all expectations. The BuidlGuidl's context is great, having been a recipient in past rounds in addition to our founder, Austin Griffith, being a badgeholder - we have a well rounded viewpoint on the challenges that lie in the voting process and see this values-based strategic overview approach as a huge step forward.

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria (if applicable):

Onboarding flow: Bring badgeholders (or ballot reviewers) up to speed on the features available and the typical workflow for creating a ballot inside the application with a guided tour. Helpful tooltips throughout the application will ensure maximum understanding of each feature.
Impact Metric Discovery: All available metrics will be listed with detailed descriptions accessible upon click. They will also be searchable.
Ballot viewing & editing: Impact metrics can be weighted differently as each badgeholder sees fit. Advanced filter criteria can be applied with an intuitive UI. These filters will allow badgeholders to include, exclude or add a reward multiplier effect based on any data point available on the applicants. All of a badgeholders impact metric selections along with their filters will be saved and made available to be used and further customized by other badgeholders for their ballot creation process. Comprehensive search functionality will make these easily accessible to each badgeholder.
Ballot submission: When a badgeholder is ready to submit they will be prompted to share their ballot on Farcaster (and other socials) so that they can show the community how they allocated funds to projects making the biggest impact. Social messages will contain links to the badgeholders ballot in a read-only mode.
Community Ballot Review: During and after the ballot submission period, badgeholders and non-badgeholders will have the ability to search through all submitted ballots and review their impact metrics, weightings and filters.

Please outline your step-by-step plan to execute this Mission, including expected deadlines to complete each piece of work:

These two tracks are running in parallel:

Design finalization:
- Graph, Impact Metric selections view (done)
- Filters (in progress - April 16th)

Wagmi / RainbowKit
React Hook Form - performant form handling with schema validation
Prisma
Postgres
Vercel

Why these?

Battle-tested - used it large-scale production systems
Great documentation - easy to learn and understand codebase and onboard devs
Ecosystem - others have built on it and easy to find help and answers to questions
Great developer experience - powerful and fun to build with

Metric Discovery, Selection, and Weighting

Use Case

Optimism provides a collection of eligible projects as EAS attestations (similar to RFP3)
The user creates a filter of different impact metrics important to them. For example:
- +100 Github Stars
- +300 onchain users last 6 months
- +1000 tx last 6 months
This filter is sent to OpenSourceObserver API along with the collection of eligible projects. The response contains the impact metric values for each project. We will work with OSO to explore ways to query their data based on the needs of RPGF4.
A score is calculated for each project from these values.
The vote distribution across the projects will be shown as a graph on the voting confirmation page.

Sounds nice, but how?

Dynamic Metric Weighting Interface: Drag and drop to prioritize all metrics.
- Flexible Metric Prioritization: Allow users to choose any number of top metrics (1 to 5), not forcing a selection of five if they prefer fewer. Adjust weighting interface dynamically based on the number of metrics selected.
  - This is how they might also search by a single query
Direct Input for Precise Filtering: For users who want to quantify metrics (e.g., ">300 onchain users in the last 6 months"), provide input fields alongside sliders/pie charts for precise criteria setting. This should be optional use.
Sorting Options: Enable sorting by individual metrics in ascending or descending order. Include a "matrix sort" option where projects are ranked based on the composite score of the selected metrics as per above.
Advanced Filtering: Users can apply filters based on specific criteria (e.g., projects with >1000 transactions in the last 6 months) for targeted discovery.

Autopopulate Vote Allocation

Initial Allocation Algo: Based on their metric prioritization, weight the metrics and multiply but the success factor (# users, # txs, etc). Then, automatically suggest a vote allocation across all available projects, sorting them according to the combined weightage score derived from the user’s metric priorities.
- Implement a sliding scale or pie chart for users to select and weight their top X projects. This visual approach simplifies the complexity of vote allocation.
Flexible Editable Allocation: Allow users to edit their vote allocation with input or moveable fields for easy adjustments, ensuring amounts auto-adjust across projects as changes are made, and offer the flexibility to select and modify project choices before finalizing the ballot.
Submit Ballot: The ballot of votes is created based on the selected impact metrics and weights and sent to the voting API. The badgeholder is redirected on success to a confirmation screen where they can review their published ballot and project allocation graph.

Additional Considerations

Responsive Design: Ensure the interface is intuitive and accessible on both desktop and mobile.
User Guidance: Throughout the metric selection and weighting process, provide tooltips and help icons explaining each metric and the impact of weighting. Separate onboarding documentation should not be necessary - if it’s complex, we’ve done it wrong.
Preview/Test Mode: Before submitting, offer a preview of how their votes are allocated, including a summary of their weighted metrics and the resulting project rankings.
Simplification for Beginners: For users overwhelmed by choices, offer an "Easy Mode" where the system recommends a set of balanced weights across key metrics or focuses on a single metric they prioritize.
Technical Robustness: Use React Hook Form for efficient form handling, React Query for state management with caching (to maintain user selections across sessions), and a flexible backend to dynamically adjust to user-inputted weights and criteria.

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Success for this mission is building a voting platform that's performant, beautiful, and most importantly gives the voters the proper context and information to engage in a new experimental voting format. It requires fast iteration and user testing, much like any startup product. Our team has worked together as cofounders for 8+ years, have shipped web products used by millions of users:

Track record of building high quality consumer facing software.
Relevant experience building highly performant stakeholder management software, specifically a fund admin platform for investors to manage their participation in funds and investments (Angellist).
Demonstrated results building Web3 projects with beautiful interfaces that have high visibility and dollar impact.
Additionally, we run a full development studio of 20+ engineers and designers as needed.

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria:

While we would want to spend time with the OP team to dive deeper into requirements, here’s our initial proposed solution based on the Mission Request and evaluation of data source:

Onboarding: The onboarding process is arguably the highest impact aspect of the product to ensure a successful voting experience. We would explore an onboarding experience that starts with a “prep room” along with a guided tour once the user enters the voting experience.
- Prep Room (Optional) - The first time the user lands in the platform, they’re in the prep room. They’re provided with onboarding information that helps set the context of the experience, along with other details (e.g. impact metrics definitions) they can dive into if interested.
  - Introduction video explaining what impact metric based voting is.
  - Animated demonstration of how voting works
  - Materials that explain what the impact metrics are and how they’re derived
    - Some impact metric discovery happens in this part of the onboarding experience.
- Guided Tour - After the user leaves the onboarding room and lands in the voting experience, we present a guided tour of the voting interface, pointing out key areas as well as going through the voting process.
Discover Impact Metrics: Impact metric discovery should happen across the experience, starting with the onboarding flow and also discoverable during the voting process. We think this is the single most important thing to get right — make the user fully understand what they’re basing their votes on.
- Onboarding - As mentioned previously, impact metrics information could be included in the prep room before the user enters the voting experience.
- Voting Side Bar - We would explore a searchable side bar list of impact metrics, with card pop ups that explain each impact metric, share the sources of data, and could even have video / audio of someone explaining the impact metric.
- Tech Notes:
  - Fetching impact metrics from Open Source Observer API.
    - Endpoint: https://opensource-observer.hasura.app/v1/graphql
      query GetCodeMetrics { code_metrics_by_project( limit: 10 order_by: { avg_active_devs_6_months: desc_nulls_last } ) { project_id project_name # FULL LIST OF IMPACT METRICS # } }
View & Edit Ballot: Ballot adjustment should be a smooth experience, starting with the selection of impact metrics. We’d build simple weight selection for each selected impact metric along with a live graph visualization of how the weights select impact OP distribution.
1. Edge Case Handling - We may want to enable ways for the user to make exceptions for projects that have unique reasons why they spike or are deficient on particular metrics. That includes ways for the voter to override metrics for any project and ways to flag metrics outliers.
2. Tech notes:
  1. List of eligible projects from Agora API:
    - GET /api/v1/retropgf/round/:roundID/projects
  2. Fetching impact metrics from Open Source Observer API (same as in Discover Impact Metrics).
Submit Ballot: Ballot submission should present a final summary of how they voted and the impact of their vote. Shareable modals for social media (X, Farcaster, Lens) can be included as well.
1. Optional Zora mint upon completion?
2. Tech notes:
  1. Ballot Submission using Agora API:
    - POST /api/v1/retropgf/round/:roundID/ballot/:addressOrENSName/submit
Testing Mode: No additional product notes here.
Community Ballot Review: Not mentioned in the Mission Request, but can be fleshed out to be viewable, searchable, and copyable to a Badgeholder’s own ballot.

Please outline your step-by-step plan to execute this Mission, including expected deadlines to complete each piece of work:

Scope, Specs and Requirements Clarification (April 17th - 19th):

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?

Our alliance stands uniquely positioned to spearhead the Retro Funding Voting UI mission, underpinned by our intrinsic ties to the Optimism Collective and a shared history of impactful contributions. Here’s why we believe we are the ideal fit for this mission:

Proven Track Record in Building RetroPGF database and Impact Calculator: The Catalyzt team's work on the RetroPGF Hub, which successfully received over 45,000 OP during RetroPGF3 based on its perceived impact to the Optimism Collective, illustrates our strong commitment and contribution to the OP Collective. Along with the Impact Calculator, these tools showcase our ability to develop solutions that genuinely resonate with and benefit the Optimism ecosystem.Our expertise in crafting user-centric solutions and leveraging analytics for impact assessment ensures that our contributions are both meaningful and practical. Additionally, while building the Impact calculator prototype - we’ve worked closely with the OP Foundation and the OpenSource Observer team which has provided us with a significant head start and an in-depth understanding of the necessary features and functionalities for the voting UI prototype.
Direct Experience and Insight: Through Varit’s (v3naru.eth) active participation as an RPGF Badgeholder, our team brings firsthand experience and insight into the Retro Funding process's nuanced challenges and opportunities. This direct involvement ensures that our approach is deeply rooted in real user feedback, enabling us to target and alleviate the most significant pain points effectively. Additionally, having been recipients in previous rounds, our unique dual perspective enriches our understanding, allowing us to address the needs and concerns of both badgeholders and project contributors comprehensively.
Advanced Analytics and Governance Expertise: Curia Lab's development of the Governance Analytics Dashboard exemplifies our proficiency in analytics and deep understanding of governance. Our project, a highlight of Season 4, garnered the highest votes under Intent 4 from the Token House, receiving over 21.75 million OP votes, underscoring robust community support and trust. This support translated into substantial funding of over 90,000 OP from RetroPGF3, affirming the value and impact of our contributions. Feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, which can be reviewed in detail here.
- Additionally, we also have experience in working with the Agora team building on top of their data. For instance, we’re the first dashboard to integrate their latest partial delegation features into our dashboard demonstrating our technical proficiency and eagerness to leverage data for informed decision-making.
- Furthermore, Curia's active participation as a top 100 delegate in the Token House, combined with our consistent presence in every governance call, affords us a comprehensive understanding of the governance dynamics within the Optimism ecosystem. This unique vantage point enables us to grasp the nuances of interactions between the Citizen House and the Token House, enriching our approach to enhancing governance participation and effectiveness.
Engagement and Community Insight: Billy (Billy191) has been serving as a Support Nerd and an Optimism Ambassador even before OP governance and OP Token were introduced. This demonstrates our commitment to actively engage with the Optimism community. Our engagement is crucial in gathering feedback and insights, which helps us refine and enhance the user interface based on community needs and preferences.
Deep Optimism Ecosystem Integration: As a collective of Optimism natives, our alliance embodies a deep understanding and commitment to the ecosystem. Our projects and initiatives reflect a dedication to fostering growth and innovation within Optimism, aligning perfectly with the mission's objectives.

Together, our alliance marries Curia Lab's governance involvement and analytical prowess with Catalyzt's innovative problem-solving skills and experience in developing impactful tools. This synergy of strengths equips us to deliver a Retro Funding Voting UI that not only meets but exceeds the community's expectations. Our collaborative efforts aim to enhance governance participation, ensuring a more inclusive, informed, and effective Retro Funding process. Our commitment to the Optimism ecosystem, combined with our comprehensive suite of skills and experiences, makes us the optimal choice to undertake this vital mission.

Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria (if applicable):

Our proposed solution for the Retro Funding Voting UI is designed to provide an intuitive, effective, and user-centric voting experience. The solution encompasses several key components, structured to address all critical aspects of the user journey from onboarding to final ballot submission. Our project will be developed in an open-source environment. We will maintain a regularly updated repository with access to design documents and progress updates.

Techstack:

The platform uses a technology stack that is trusted by the industry and designed for enterprise-grade applications. It benefits from ongoing innovation and support from a large developer network. The platform has unparalleled scalability and guaranteed uptime, thanks to Vercel and Cloudflare. In addition, it uses RainbowKit or Wagmi for security authorization with the wallet, which is globally recognized in the blockchain space.

Frontend	Data Management / Visualization	Authorization	Deployment/Security	Monitoring
Next.js	GraphQL / Apollo	RainbowKit	Vercel	Google Analytics
Tailwind (CSS)	Highchart.js	Wagmi	Cloudflare	Grafana/Prometheus
HeadlessUI	MongoDB	SIWE
	Jotai

Onboarding:

Interactive Tutorial: Upon entering the voting UI, badgeholders will be guided through an interactive tutorial. This step-by-step walkthrough is designed to familiarize users with the overall interface, the mechanics of voting, the significance of each impact metric, and how each algorithm calculation works. The tutorial will be dynamic, adjusting content based on the user's progress and areas of interest.

Project Selection:

Project Dashboard: Each project eligible for voting will have a detailed dashboard that presents key data and analytics in an easily digestible format. This includes historical performance metrics, project impact scores, and other relevant data fetched in real-time from Open Source Observer’s APIs. These dashboards will enable badgeholders to make informed decisions by providing a holistic view of each project’s contributions and potential impact.
Project Sets: Recognizing the diversity in project types and the unique evaluation needs of each, we have revamped our project selection process. This enhancement is based on direct community feedback, highlighting the necessity for a tailored approach to metric evaluation. In our new system, users can create and customize multiple project sets, allowing for flexible categorization based on project types.

For instance, within the "Retro Funding 4: Onchain Builders" session, users can organize projects into distinct sets such as DeFi Projects, Infrastructure Projects, and NFT Projects. Each of these sets will utilize a specific set of impact metrics chosen by the user to best evaluate the projects within that category. For example, the DeFi Projects Set might focus on metrics like transaction volume and Total Value Locked (TVL), which are critical indicators of DeFi success but may not be relevant for Infrastructure or NFT projects. This flexibility allows badgeholders to apply the most appropriate and effective metrics to different project types, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of their evaluations.

Discover Impact Metric:

Our approach to discovering impact metrics is designed to optimize ease of use in evaluating the impacts of projects eligible for Retro Funding. This component is crucial in enabling badgeholders to make informed and impactful decisions.

Source and Integration of Metrics:

Impact metrics will be primarily sourced from Open Source Observer's dataset, accessible via their GraphQL API. If additional data sources are needed to enhance the evaluation, we will integrate these seamlessly to ensure a robust metrics framework.

From the last RPGF round, some badgeholders feel the need to spread their focus across their unfamiliar domain to accomplish the project instead of focusing on their expertise. To accommodate the expertise levels on each project among the badgeholders and simplifying the metric selection process, we will offer two distinct methods for selecting and weighting impact metrics:

Method 1: Metric Preferences Quiz:
- Objective: To simplify the initial setup and make the selection process more intuitive.
- Method: Badgeholders will be guided through an interactive quiz, modeled on personality assessment tools like the 16 Personalities test. Based on their responses, impact metrics will be pre-selected and weighted, aligning with their preferences and values.
- Benefit: This method reduces complexity and personalizes the voting experience, making it accessible and engaging for badgeholders with diverse backgrounds.
Method 2: Manual Selection:
- Objective: To provide full control and flexibility to badgeholders who prefer a hands-on approach.
- Method: This option allows badgeholders to manually choose and assign weights to each impact metric according to their assessed value & priorities.
- Benefit: Enables experienced users or those with specific insights to fine-tune their ballots to reflect a nuanced understanding of project impacts.

Allocation Algorithms:

After the result of RPGF3, there was a debate on the ideal allocation calculation with various preferences. To accommodate different preferences for impact evaluation, we explored three distinct allocation algorithms. Each is designed to cater to various goals of distribution fairness and effectiveness, allowing badgeholders to select the method that best aligns with their objectives.

Linear Weighted Average:
- This method allocates resources based on direct performance metrics, rewarding projects linearly according to their score or output. The higher the score, the higher the allocation, following a power law distribution where a small number of top performers receive most of the resources.
- Distribution: Power Law
- Pros: Directly correlates funding with performance, providing clear incentives for achieving high metrics.
- Cons: This can lead to significant disparities in funding, as top performers receive exponentially more resources, potentially marginalizing smaller or emerging projects that could also have a substantial impact.
Logarithmic Weighted Average:
- This approach modifies the power law distribution by applying a logarithmic scale to performance scores. This reduces the steepness of resource allocation seen in the linear approach, helping to level the playing field somewhat.
- Distribution: Smoothed-out Exponential
- Pros: Reduces the gap between the highest and average performers, making funding more accessible to a broader range of projects.
- Cons: Although it reduces disparity, it may still not be enough to adequately support lower-performing projects that have potential, and could blur significant performance differences.
Percentile-based Approach:
- Funds are distributed based on the percentile ranking of projects, rather than absolute scores. This approach aims to normalize the distribution, where the allocation curve resembles a bell-shaped Gaussian distribution, ensuring a more equitable spread across all participating projects.
- Distribution: Gaussian
- Pros: Creates a balanced funding environment where projects are rewarded relative to their peers, promoting fairness.
- Cons: May overly smooth out funding differences, potentially under-rewarding top performers and over-rewarding lower performers relative to their actual impact or output.
All badgeholders can now choose allocation calculations, and the final distribution and allocation results of each project will be shown before the ballot is finalized.

View & Edit Ballot:

Badgeholders can easily manage and review their selections through a user-friendly dashboard that provides a comprehensive summary of all the projects and their respective allocations in their ballot. This interface will present projects in both list and card formats for clarity and ease of use.
Key Features:
- Secure Sign-In: Badgeholders authenticate via their wallets (RainbowKit / SIWE) to ensure secure and private access to their ballots.
- Interactive Editing: Users can intuitively adjust their allocations—adding or removing projects and changing funding amounts—with immediate visual feedback on how these changes affect the overall distribution.
- Save and Manage: Changes can be saved at any time, allowing badgeholders to return and adjust their ballot as needed before final submission.

Submit Ballot:

To streamline the ballot submission and ensure seamless integration, we will collaborate closely with the Agora team. As ballots are submitted, Agora's API will manage the secure transmission and storage of data, providing badgeholders with immediate feedback and confirmation of their submissions.

Post-Submission Feedback: Immediately after submitting their ballots, badgeholders will be encouraged to provide feedback. This information will be instrumental in continuously refining the voting interface and process, ensuring it remains responsive to user needs and effective in future rounds.
Optional Ballot Sharing: After submitting their ballot, badgeholders will have the option to export their ballot choices into a shareable format. This feature allows them to easily post their voting decisions on the governance forums, and social media channels like X (Twitter) or Farcaster. By enabling badgeholders to share their voting rationale publicly, we foster greater transparency and community discussion around voting choices.

Ballot and Projects Attestation:

Our UI enables robust community engagement by allowing users to issue on-chain attestations for both projects and badgeholders' ballots (if applicable):

Attestation for Ballots: If the Optimism Foundation permits visibility of individual ballots, our voting UI will feature an on-chain attestation functionality. This allows the community members to comment on or endorse the ballots of badgeholders. Such attestations would provide a robust, transparent community feedback and support mechanism.
Attestation for Projects: Independent of ballot visibility, our UI will enable community members to issue on-chain attestations for projects that have applied for Retro Funding. This feature allows users to endorse projects they believe in or provide constructive feedback to the projects. These attestations will be visible on each project’s page, allowing other users to view and consider these endorsements and comments.

Testing Mode:

All non-badgeholders will have access to a sandbox environment where they can explore the voting UI. This tool will educate the community, increase engagement, and provide a better understanding of the Retro Funding process.

An update from our team:

Github repo up at: https://github.com/gitcoinco/op-rf4-voting-ui
Deployment at: https://op-rf4-voting-ui.vercel.app/
Working on building the ballot metrics editor to enable voters to add and remove metrics and adjust their allocation in percentage. (turns out, dynamic form + increment and decrement buttons are trickier than initially thought. had some issues with inputs losing focus on tabbing due to re-renders. Fixed by using controllers instead of setValue directly)
Feedback form stepper when submitting ballot is almost done
Working on implementing Agora API so currently just mock data
