Hello Erik,
Thank you for interacting with this proposal.
Unfortunately as I was a new user on the gov interface I could not include all the relevant links for this proposal.
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?
This proposal goes a little beyond this written content.
Yes, at first our goal is to publish the 4 pieces mentioned here in S1 2025. (Paraswap Protocol Overview, Look into Portikus, intent-centric research and look into staking/fee sharing)
These four articles will include the full analysis of all subjects mentioned.
Here are a few examples :
“Look into” (the format that will include Portikus and fee sharing) : A Zoom on MegaETH, the blockchain that raised $9.2 million in seconds | OAK Research
The intent article will be a research on the whole sector of intent trading, commissioned by Paraswap. This means that we will also include the analysis of other venues for intent trading (CoW Swap, Essential, NEAR, etc.). The Paraswap solution will be presented at the beginning of this research.
The goal for this research is to reach a broader audience that are interested in this type of trading in general and allow them to discover how Paraswap has contributed to this type of research.
For the protocol overview the example can be found here: Pyth Network (PYTH) : A complete overview of the decentralized oracle | OAK Research
What sort of word count are you targeting for these articles?
For the “look into” articles we aim for the same length as the MegaETH one, it could be a little longer or a little shorter depending on our communications with the team and the docs and information available to us upon publishing.
For the protocol overview you can expect the same length as the Pyth one.
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?
Depending on the data available to us, we will to the best of our ability include charts, data and metrics relevant to the various articles mentioned above.
If we do not manage to retrieve the various data, we will reach out to the Paraswap team to get some metrics.
If those are not provided, we will focus on education and descriptive analysis.
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?
I will put the examples of the timeline implementation in the next response in this thread.
Please note that the timelines are continuously updated to reflect the evolution of various protocols.
Cross-communication also means that we will relay major upgrades of the protocol, update the timeline and support the visibility of Paraswap.
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.
The price in USD/ETH mentioned here is for the written content that will be produced on our website (the four articles).
The $PSP mentioned in the proposal is not to be sold, but to be staked as a show of us willing to participate in various governance topics and proposals that could take place on the forum. If we can do this through delegation of the tokens, we can get rid of this part of the proposal.
Our goal is not to produce 4 articles in a one-shot timeframe but rather to take an active role in the Paraswap’s future by providing support in communication when needed and take on an active role within Paraswap’s governance.
Also, as mentioned, since launch we have collected over 40,000 emails and all our content will be distributed through this channel as well once we launch the various newsletters starting in February.
Looking forward to your response, thank you for sharing your POV.
