Monthly Reports

We are currently waiting for the previous funding to be received as there was a mistake when filling the report for July, we used the wrong ID.

Although we have been testing the product to a variaty of users and the results were outstanding. We are happy to share that the product will be out of Alpha very soon.

When we receive the next fund round we can make new progress in terms of resolving bugs and refining the frontend application.

We are making amazing progress now we have an extra backend developer. He is setting up an automatic ISPO platform where projects can assign different running pool operators to launch an ISPO. The previous tasks are all finished and we will go live this month.

We are finally making some good progress again as we have attracted a new backend java developer to the project. He is currently implementing the backend of Stakepad into the Stakeboard platform where the frontend is ready and working. This might take an extra month to finish as we are picking up speed again.

I have added some screenshots of the platform which can give some insights about the various pages on Stakeboard.

As written in why the project is a bit delayed we have decided to collaborate with Innovatio and integrate Alice into their platform to give information about the Stakepools on the network as information sharing with a wide reach.

We are back on track again with the addition of the backend developer. He is part of the Stakelabs products so also working on Stakeboard. We are planning to release the product on the 25th of July to the public and hopefully receive some good feedback so we can start improving and creating the preferred platform for projects launching on Cardano. ps. we are not a launchpad(yet), we are only interested in growing the Cardano community and ecosystem with trusted sources.

We are developing a few extra features to the Stakepad platform before integration on Stakeboard. This includes a calendar of ISO events and we are working hard to add new partners of launchpads to be able to offer as many opportunities to the community as possible.

Stakepad features through the Catalyst are wrapped up and the MVP is ready. We are looking for a Java developer to add new features for our API so we can make a public launch.

We have added a new section for Stakeboard which is focused on the business to business side, we want to steer and direct businesses to stake their cryptocurrency capital through stakeboard but in a decentralized way while also being able to promote this activity by staking to charity or likewise pools.

This side of the platform is almost finished and will be announced soon.

Alice is now fully functional and integrated into Stakeboard and can be managed by following Stakepools and subscribing to pool updates.

We are almost finished with the integration of the Discord bot to push pool updates on Discord.

The MVP is finished. We are currently tracking the ongoing and upcoming ISPOs. You can directly delegate to the projects through out platform to the Initial Stakepool offerings available. We are currently doing that manually. Project details will soon be available for project owners to edit and adjust. We do not want to go public yet with the platform since it is part of the Stakeboard platform we want to wait until Stakeboard is ready for launch. We would appreciate if the team won't publish anything yet to the public. A video is coming soon with the demonstration of the platform.

The project is coming along very well, we are in search of a solid backend/plutus engineer who can take care of the integration of a new concept we would like to introduce on the Stakeboard platform.

Alice is no fully integrated with messages on platform. We want to prepare an announcement for this without sharing too much details.

Also Stakepad is close to being integrated with the fully redesigned front end.

I requested Kriss for an update on the payment address as this needs to be changed to my address as Giovanni(person who submitted the proposal) is no longer part of the team.

I would like future payments to be send to the following address: addr1qyxzdr9w6hdsl0rs5c4u83ahrvzf8d9kve2xrctyzwgt2q5qjcyalacs9avx4y6kgl4lwwk8veyunr7wynnkaqkjevzqddu0ej

I also would like this to be updated for the other 2 proposals our team is working on as well which are: https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/384952 and https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/383858

We are currently working on integrating Alice into stakeboard with notifications as in shown in the screenshot. After we have finished that we will start building the assigned messages to delegator and follower specific messages. The focus is to wrap this up in the first week of April before we head to the discord integration part. Twitter integration is already fully functional and operational.

As for this proposal as well I would like to change the payment address for the remainder of the funding since Giovanni the co proposer of the project is no longer with the team. Kriss has been informed about this and also sorted a transfer of ownership from Giovanni.

I would like this address to be changed to: addr1qyxzdr9w6hdsl0rs5c4u83ahrvzf8d9kve2xrctyzwgt2q5qjcyalacs9avx4y6kgl4lwwk8veyunr7wynnkaqkjevzqddu0ej

We have made changes in the team as the 2 co founders (besides me, Sebastiaan) left the project and I am continuing the project I am reforming to have new people join the development as well as the business development side of the project.

While the remaining of the team is still intact we started to redesign the stakeboard platform including the advanced profile. The development for the advanced profile has also been completed with the integration of Medium, Twitter and Telegram chat.

We are currently working on another feature in the meantime which is the suggested stake pools. ps. this is not a feature which was in the initial proposal but requested from the community.

Besides that we are also continuing the development on Stakepad and Alice with are core features of the complete stakeboard platform but in a separate proposal.
