Short summary:
EOSDEN, an EOS blockchain-based platform, is focused on enhancing user experience and expanding its community. To streamline the user onboarding process, an intuitive login guide has been implemented. The EOSDEN Cockpit has been launched to allow users to search for solutions. Verification processes ensure platform integrity, while a tool named EOSDENSpider checks user credentials on Twitter and GitHub. Additionally, EOSDEN plans to extend its outreach and is preparing for expansion to the WAX blockchain, with a WAX version of eosde.net expected by Q4. The team also ensures front-end availability via IPFS compatibility.
Full summary:
📢 Announcement
EOSDEN, which launched on May 31st 2023, announced they've been continuously working on improving user onboarding. The platform is built on the EOS blockchain, and to make the verification process more efficient, they have implemented an intuitive login wizard to help guide new users.
🔄 Onboarding
For a better user experience, the developers at EOSDEN have revamped their onboarding process. They provide a guide for unverified users or affiliates upon their first login, assisting in deciding whether to become a verified user or an affiliate. The platform also allows users to browse without committing immediately. After a selection, the guide doesn't reappear on subsequent logins unless a different browser is used.
💡 Improvements
EOSDEN team is implementing an enhancement that simplifies sharing of information: affiliates will share their EOSDEN solution page URL, which aids in the onboarding process. This improvement, despite not affecting the back end smart contract, enhances the user experience on the UI front end.
📊 EOSDEN Cockpit
The platform now features an "EOSDEN Cockpit", an inclusive set of dashboards allowing users to search for solutions by category and by code type. Built on Power BI technology, the cockpit is designed to answer predefined or user-generated questions. In a weekly cadence, the cockpit takes the data from the EOSDEN smart contract on-chain. It includes visuals and links for various attributes like the affiliate name, category, code type, solution name, solution URL, and more. The cockpit's data will be cross-referenced with the EOSDEN MindMap and website.
🔍 User Verification
To ensure the integrity of the platform, EOSDEN conducts a verification process for its users. Those on the Pomelo platform are automatically verified through an achievement badge (example hyperlinked). Other users undergo a manual verification process where the team evaluates their EOS ecosystem activity and credibility. The team is vigilant against Sybil attacks that have been detected and is committed to fostering a community of quality users genuinely interested in the EOS and Antelope chains.
🕷️EOSDENSpider
EOSDENSpider, a tool integrated into the platform, assists in checking the Twitter bio and GitHub profile of users. It conducts on-chain checks to ensure the promotion of quality user engagement and to discourage misuse of the platform.
🥕 Outreach
EOSDEN is keen on expanding its community by attracting more affiliates and users. Patrick Schmid CEO/CTO and founder of EOSDEN with CAC his community manager, plans a six-week campaign with personal follow-ups and incentivizing participation to attract at least 10 affiliates. Two of EOSDEN’s new affiliates will be invited to the Antelope Swiss Workshop 22 on September 23rd, hosted by NovaCrypto.
EOSDEN is set to incentivize users on the Pomelo platform and Level 1 delegates of EdenOnEOS through a targeted bounty program. This initiative encourages them to review and rate solutions on EOSDEN. For those within Eden On EOS, the Election Guide provided by Jiyon, an active EdenOnEOS member and contributor, will serve as a case in point.
🌐 Expansion
The EOSDEN Team aims to extend the platform to other Antelope Network, particularly the WAX (Worldwide Asset eXchange) blockchain. There are ongoing plans to support the WAX Cloud Wallet and to have a WAX version of eosde.net/platform by Q4 2023, which requires collaboration between front-end and back-end, respectively Lennar & Vlad.
⚙️ Technical
Deploying on WAX involves several changes due to the differences between WAX and EOS. Some key considerations include user verification, NCO token recreation on WAX, setting up liquidity pools on Alcor, establishing approval processes, and setting up account permissions on WAX. All of these steps will require extensive configurations and testing before the contracts can be added to the blockchain.
🔁 IBC
The code for IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) is open source, and a smoothly functioning bridge has already been established by Alcor for transfers from WAX to EOS.
💻 Development
Work on the WAX EOSDEN front-end integration will start in Q4 2023. A challenge to overcome is the geo-blocking of requests by WAX chain endpoints. To tackle this, the team plans to develop an endpoint picker that will select a suitable endpoint automatically, and in case of an issue, the users are still able to pick the endpoint manually.
⚙️ Implementation
The switch between EOSDEN and WAX EOSDEN on the front end will likely be facilitated via a dropdown menu. Although the front-ends will be hosted separately on different subdomains, the dropdown menu will ease the transition between them.
🗃️ Availability
The team ensures that the EOSDEN Platform is IPFS compatible. This means that the EOSDEN platform (eosde.net/platform) will remain operational even if Google Firebase is down, providing seamless user experience.
🎉 Conclusion
The session concluded with thanks to the EODEN core team Patrick, Vlad, Lennar, and CAC. The next workshop is slated for September 23rd, and the episode ended with a collective chant of "Go EOSDEN!", reflecting the team's shared vision.
