Hi @ArtemOAK and thank you for this proposal, Erik from Avantgarde Finance here.
Generally speaking, I definitely think Paraswap should publish some content around the roadmap, both teasing upcoming changes and announcing new implementations.
However, I would like to know more about the analytical pieces you suggest.
- Am I understanding it right that you’re suggesting 3 written pieces as part of this prop, i.e. on Portikus, fee-sharing/staking, and intents?
- What sort of word count are you targeting for these articles?
- Will the articles involve any data analysis and/or look to provide some kind of unique insights, or will they mainly be repurposing descriptive, educational content?
Would be great if you could share a few selected pieces you’ve already produced that gives an idea of what to expect here.
Also, could you please elaborate on milestone 2 and what you mean by “implementation of Paraswap’s timeline and cross-communication” - does this simply mean co-marketing/sharing announcements on your X channel?
Checking your website traffic via free analytic tools also gives me quite different numbers, for example:
- Total Visits Last 3 Months: 14k in October, 32.5k in November, and 20k in December from https://www.similarweb.com/website/oakresearch.io/#traffic, which is quite far from the 2-3k/day you suggest.
With X being the main crypto social channel, the 233 followers you have on the English-speaking account will obviously not do anything to move the needle in any meaningful way. While 15k followers on the French account is better, I don’t think it makes sense to specifically target a French audience here, which is also what the majority of the website traffic comes from.
My sense is that the price tag is a bit steep for the type of content that could be produced here, and I’m not sure the co-marketing will be very effective.
My recommendation would be to focus on 3 written pieces in greater detail, paid retroactively per article. Since the price tag depends in large on the scope of the articles, I’d ask you to provide a quote along with the outline of the proposed articles.
To clarify, I am very much for seeing high-quality Paraswap content being produced, just want to make sure the DAO secures competitive deals and minimises spending in areas where ROI is unclear. Thank you!
