First community funding proposal:
I started working on BeamAssets → www.beamassets.com as a personal project approximately in September last year, when the release of Asset Swaps was anticipated. The website which you know today is the result of hundreds of hours invested.
Now with the upcoming DEX release I’ve been starting to look into which additional tools will be needed so that the Beam Community as a whole can have the best possible experience. We all know websites such as Dextools or Poocoin in the Ethereum ecosystem. So creating something similar for Beam is the next big milestone that I have in mind.
An example of what I’ve been working on recently:
All numbers and data you see here are collected live from the DEX on Dappnet.
The price action in this chart was caused by a trading bot I used to generate some data for testing.
So here is my first funding proposal:
It’s a humble request to help me with server maintenance costs. All the work and expenses I have put in so far have been out of my own volution and for my own entertainment.The goal is to gather between 5k and 10k Beam or BeamX from the community, which will help me cover the costs of running the server for about 12 months. If we gather 10k, this would cover 18 months or more!
The soonTM of what you can expect to find on BeamAssets in the near future:
- Charts (as in above example) for ALL DEX trading pairs. Even if you create a TICO / TQR trading pair, it will be on there!- A comprehensive table on the main homepage including prices and volumes. This makes it easy to find active and popular trading pairs
- A whole bunch of extra features which I will not talk about at this stage
I really would love to see some support from the community to help with these basic infrastructure costs!
“Why should I contribute to this?”
First of all, helping BeamAssets survive as a project is a great way to support the Beam ecosystem. Beam DeFi is still mostly an idea. Every small but REAL project counts and will be instrumental in making Beam DeFi a reality. Having at least one service such as BeamAssets is absolutely necessary.Secondly, this is not the Beam core team. This project is completely independent. Something very important for a healthy ecosystem. Do not expect everything to come from Team Beam! Independent projects really are the key to long-term success.
By helping this project to continue and grow you are helping your own Beam investment.
“Ok. So if I contribute, is there something in it for me?” …. Well, maybe….
If at any future time I decide to create a token for BeamAssets (or even a different future project), I would like to be able to gift some to those people who supported BeamAssets at this stage. This is not a promise that BeamAssets will have its own CA, but if it happens, your contributions won’t be forgotten!Additionally, there will be an exclusive Telegram group for contributors who send at least 150 Beam/BeamX. Group members will get occasional previews of what I am working on and will be able to give feedback on design decisions.
How to contribute:
For this rather symbolic amount I want to keep it as simple as possible. I will report the received amounts periodically in this forum thread in the form of wallet screenshots. I know, this is not the optimal method for transparency, but after having reviewed various options, this is the most practical approach and above all the most SIMPLE one for the amounts proposed here.Option a) use the Telegram tipbot and send to @iDoHaveAtgHandleNow – Do this in a public Beam channel, so everyone can easily verify.
Please send all you intend to donate in one single tip (or two if it has to be). This makes it easier for me to keep track of who gave how much.
If you choose this method, do it like this (without the { } brackets):
/tip @iDoHaveAtgHandleNow {amount} {name of asset beam/beamX} {add a non-expiring Beam address (choose expiry time “never”) that belongs to you – use SBBS address if possible, because it is shorter}
Option b) send to the public offline address (copy-paste or use the QR code).
If you choose this method, I will need from you:
1. kernel ID
2. TX ID
3. The amount of Beam/BeamX you have send.
4. A non-expiring Beam address (choose expiry time “never”) that belongs to you.
You can either post this information publicly in this thread or send it to me privately in either Telegram or here in the forum. This method is less transparent for the public, but for some it might be more convenient.
Public offline address (QR will work on second try):
