  • [xGov-86] Bonfire - Distributed Ledger Technologies

    I will build Bonfire, a web app that implements a user interface for ARC-54: ASA Burning App, a community standard for burning ASAs. I will deliver:
  • [xGov-70] Securing ASA Stats API high availability for the next 2 years - ASA Stats
    2 projects | /r/xGov | 3 Nov 2023
    The same as for the Algorand boxes, this proposal's research implication should reveal the exact technology for NFTs - it is expected that we use either ARC72 (https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/blob/main/ARCs/arc-0072.md) or ARC19/ARC3 combination (https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/blob/main/ARCs/arc-0019.md; https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/blob/main/ARCs/arc-0003.md).

  • ARC 12 on GitHub proposes a system to allow for receipt of ASAs to a linked “vault” account without the need for opt in.

    Step 3: Click on the Template form link to view the proposal template. Read the information on the template page. You will need to submit your proposal to the folder Proposals, as specified.
  • A big reason Algorand is under performing is because they bet on institutions, and didn't focus on retail
    2 projects | /r/algorand | 14 Apr 2023
    As noted in the multiple discussions on the topic (on GitHub and our public discord meetings regarding auth standards) we (Foundation + community) reached the consensus that transaction-based authentication is not the way to go. Getting users used to signing transaction payloads for authentication is not ideal and once it's standardized it's hard to get away from. Instead, we've been focusing on ARC-0031: https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/pull/160
  • Question about the new xGov?
    1 project | /r/algorand | 1 Apr 2023
    xGov discussions are ongoing on multiple places but mostly on the official Algorand Discord (https://discord.com/invite/YgPTCVk) - governance, arc-33 and arc-34 channels; on Github ARC repository https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/ (i.e. 33 and 34); and on Twitter spaces (follow Adriana Belotti - Algorand Governance Manager Program, at https://twitter.com/nonfungibleab).
  • Common misconceptions about xGov (as of G7)
    2 projects | /r/AlgorandOfficial | 1 Apr 2023
    Not necessary. While the proposals on which xGovs vote on will be published on Github (source: example on Foundation website), you can treat this simply as a website with links to documents describing these proposals (which will follow a template). You can just read through the proposals and vote based on that. However, it is encouraged to make comments to the proposals to improve their quality. For this part, you would need to learn how to use Github to make comments there or use alternative communications channels to give your feedback to the proposers.
  • We are updating the Governor Guide and the xGov info page goes live tomorrow!
    1 project | /r/AlgorandOfficial | 30 Mar 2023
    To all the people claiming this information has been obscure, you should really give me a follow on Twitter. I have been covering xGov and EVERY SINGLE DETAIL for almost a full year between Algorand Forum, Twitter, Reddit, Github, and Discord. The info has been there if you were looking. Here's the most recent info, there are only a few details that this article misses such as 1. Your xGov voting power = your Algo reward for a given General Governance period. 2. Your xGov voting power will "refresh" every xGov voting cycle until "rolling off" after 4 quarters (though if you have other commits from future xGov commits, you will still have that voting power to use after initial rolloff): Folks Finance Medium article on xGov Adri Belotti & Stephan xGov NonTech Twitter Space Choppa from PactFi's notes on xGov Meetings (Find "xGov ARCS Conversation...." about 9 down, and another 4 down on the list where Choppa and I dsicuss xGov meetings) GitHub ARC 33 "Hot to become an xgov" GitHub ARC 35 "xGov Proposal Generation"
