- **Project Title:** Akashlytics - **Problem Statement:** What is the problem you will solve? - **Goals:** What are you aiming to accomplish? - **Impact:** What impact will this project have? - **Budget:** How much funding will this require? - **Timeline:** What is the timeline for accomplishing this task? - **Team:** Are you looking for additional team members? - **Reporting:** How will you report your progress to the community (e.g. weekly calls, reports)? - **Design:** Do you have any mock ups or screenshots? Little context about the two founders of Akashlytics… We’ve been working together for almost a decade on various development projects. More noticeably, for 4 years we were building a complete marketplace from scratch for fashion brands. The marketplace included a modern frontend and backend architecture, social media features, 2 admin dashboards, features for ai training and finance, and many more. We learned a lot about building scalable and useful software and are eager to apply all that knowledge to Akashlytics. We’ve already completed a successful project in partnership with Akash; the web3-index, an api that calculates the network revenues on a daily basis. Our efforts were rewarded with 10k usd, so we’re ready to go to the next phase. Ref.: [The Web3 Index - Akash](https://web3index.org/akash) As well as Akashlytics and the deploy tool. Here are some stats from the past 3 months… Akashlytics: **8.1k** users **160k** views Akashlytics Deploy: **803** users **81.5k** sessions **12.3k** successful transactions **3.5k** new deployments **2.8k** new leases Cheers!

Heard about it directly from the team. # Product Vision: \*\*23. What is your project? \*\* 1. What is the problem you will solve? See above. 2. What are your goals? See above. 3. What impact will this project have on the Akash developer community? See above. 4. Who will use your project when it’s complete? See above. 5. Will you monetize your project? See above. 6. Will you open source your project? See above. # Product Leadership / Drive: 1. Tell us about yourself, your passion, your values. I’ve been working for 8 years in the software industry. I’m passionate about new technologies like blockchain and entrepreneurship. I value leadership, integrity, respect and authenticity. Like you’ve all seen since the beginning of my journey with Akash, I always give more than I tend to receive in terms of time, effort, support and leadership. We’re extremely dedicated to making Akash and Akashlytics successful. We will do whatever it takes for it to happen. We are hungry. 1. What’s your aspiration for blockchain technology? I think blockchain technology is one of the most disruptive technologies of our era, in many sectors, mostly finance, but like Akash has proved, cloud as well and I want to be part of it as much as possible. 1. If you had $1 million in grant funding what would you do? I would first continue to build the project we’ve already started, and more, but at a much faster pace. I would try to get mentored by some key successful individuals in the space and form a small board committee to make sure the funds are used in the most efficient way. Then I would execute the carefully crafted plan in a high intensity and agile way, because every good plan always ends up taking a few turns. 1. Who will benefit most from your project? I think developers, new and experienced, will be the most impacted by the deploy tool, as it is already the case. As for the data node api and the block explorer, everyone using akash in general will benefit from it. Last but not least, Akash will benefit from all the growth these tools will bring. 1. How will you help grow the Akash community? By providing these tools for free and promoting them on all channels, giving more exposure to akash. 1. How will you make Akash approachable to developers? By simplifying the process of creating a wallet to get funds, create and manage deployments. 1. How do you think Akash should improve? I think Akash needs to be better at communicating what’s going on internally. The roadmap was a great and very essential step for visibility and transparency, but sometimes I feel like there are moments when Akash is just sitting in the shadows. For example, a new version of akash was silently released recently which had breaking changes for all the deploy tools. # Product Execution: 1. How would you utilize the grant funding? See above. 2. Have you already started this work? Yes, [akashlytics.com/deploy](http://akashlytics.com/deploy) 3. Do you have a GitHub or website for your project? Yes, [https://github.com/Akashlytics/akashlytics-deploy](https://github.com/Akashlytics/akashlytics-deploy) and [https://github.com/Akashlytics/akashlytics](https://github.com/Akashlytics/akashlytics) 4. How will this task be accomplished? A lot of designing and coding. 5. How would you break this work up into 3 or 4 phases / milestones? - Deploy Phase 1: Akashlytics Deploy - Support wallet creation - Integrate with Akash faucet to speed up time to deploy - Send akt transactions - Integrate price api, to view prices in USD or local currency - Akashytics Phase 1: Data node api - The api will contain more endpoints related to the usage of akash and historical data - Will be used for akashlytics and web3-index. Could be used by the Akash team, or any other organization/individual wanting to build something with the analytics or showcase in a blog - Build the rich database - Make useful api endpoints - Api documentation - Hosted version with free access - Open source with ability to deploy on your own for free - Could be used to integrate with TheGraph - Deploy Phase 2: Akashlytics Deploy - Template gallery/manager - Price estimate and forecast - SDL Gui editor - Transform into web app if possible - Akashytics Phase 2: Akashlytics block explorer - Currently the best blockchain explorer for Akash is mintscan. However, it doesn’t contain the data related deployments, leases, etc. - Transactions with more details - We will build the best explorer for akash specifically. - View all transactions related to an address or deployment - Automatic price comparison with big cloud providers. - Guides and more content to support the new and existing users 1. How many months of work will this project require? ~6 months 2. What’s the expected amount of funding required for your project? See above. # Product Progress: 1. Will you open source your project?

I have been following this site consistently since it’s launch. I’ve also used the deploy tool you developed to deploy PKT miners. Just wanted to drop by to say thanks, and my enthusiasm about this grant. ---

I love this product. I guess people who are lazy like me won’t use CLI at first. Personally I didn’t deploy anything until ui was available. Although higher level CLI tools are needed to abstract away the blockchain parts like transaction creation, deployments monitoring and etc, I think UIs like akashlytics deploy would still gain a lot of usage because not all people use CLIs. Also using the UI is much much easier to get started. I like the idea of " \* Transform into web app if possible" too. ---

Yes I think both the cli and ui tools are necessary for the proper diverse adoption Akash needs. Thanks for the feedback! ---

It is hard to quantify how much Akashlytics has contributed to the Akash community, I support this grant. ---

Thank you for supporting this tool. I am starting my deployments on Akash with it. Good job guys.
