Detailed Plan

<u>Main Deliverables</u>

Peer-to-peer collaboration portal within the WADA membership platform solely for the benefit of African SPOs and disaster-recovery support.

Main output would be a document containing:

• Guidelines for emergency preparations and disaster recovery
• Risk analysis and screening of both general and specific regional challenges
• Benchmarks to measure the stability, resilience and decentralized nature of African stakepools
• Rewards scheme for participating in network stress-testing and contributing to documentation

———IMPACT––––

<u>How does the proposal fit into this challenge?</u>

By creating an environment where African SPOs can connect, learn from each other and share best practices, we can incentivize further SPO participation in disaster recovery and stress-testing, as well as identify the unique challenges faced by them.

<u>How will this campaign add value to our ecosystem?</u>

A more robust stakepool network, that can respond faster to unexpected downtimes adds to the security, reliability and value of the wider ecosystem overall.

—––FEASIBILITY———

<u>Roadmap:</u>

After successful funding:

• Identify at least 5 African SPOs to take part in this program and onboard them onto the WADA membership platform
• 30 days - Create the documentation outline, checklists and rewards scheme for the SPOs
• 90 days - Observe the SPOs and track uptimes and other health metrics, conduct the risk analysis and finalize documentation
• Deliver the documentation for public access and feedback from other SPO networks and community members
• Expected public launch date: Dec 15th

Post-program:

• Program survey and report creation based on each SPOs stakepool health throughout the 3 months
• Extend project to include dashboards, webapps and real-time data built into the SPO collaboration portal, hosted by WADA

———AUDITABILITY–––––

<u>What success looks like:</u>

3 months: SPOs all completed their reporting and contributed significantly to the documentation, which is well received by the community.

6 months: Feedback gathered on both the program and the current state of SPOs in Africa, what their risk profiles are and how to address their main challenges.

12 months: Second iteration of project launched, with a focus on software tools, dashboards and data management to support a larger number of SPOs.

<u>Challenge Metrics Addressed:</u>

• Risks scores for stakepools, before and after the program

• No. SPOs onboarded onto the collaboration platform

• No. of SPOs contributing to the documentation

• No. of SPO delivering weekly reports on stakepool health

• % SPOs who complete the 3-month program

• Approval rating of the program from SPOs

• Fair compensation rating

• Risk score improvements

• Rewards and Incentives metrics, based on participation
