Funding proposal - Launches : Spock - Decentralised Sports stocks trading app

Name of Project

Spock - Decentralised Sports stocks trading app

Proposal overview

Spock is a decentralised sports stock trading app to be deployed on the Harmony platform.

Our idea was to build a platform where users can win rewards by predicting the performance of favourite players. Spock is a revolutionary fantasy game where one can buy and sell fantasy stocks of players. The better the player plays on the day, the price goes up, and vice versa. A users role is to predict the future performance of the players and build a portfolio accordingly.

Players can use the ONE/SPOCK tokens to trade players from different sports as stocks.

We have already developed the first prototype of the game and it is running on the Polygon testnet.

We are requesting $50K in equity-free contribution: $10K after launching a feature-complete product on testnet, $15K after mainnet launch, with certifications $5K after forming a DAO for our community, and $20K for marketing post launch(includes user onboarding).

We are a team of 4 developers and 1 designer and we are confident that our app, combined with Harmony’s fast and cost-effective ecosystem will be a huge success and very popular among the Harmony community.

Our milestones are:

  1. Weeks 1-4: Feature complete and deployed onto testnet
  2. Weeks 4-6: Give beta access to Harmony community to test and give feedback
  3. Weeks: 6-8: Deploy to mainnet and ramp up marketing efforts
  4. First month after launch: Form DAO
  5. Second month: Acquire 5k new users

Hi Naik,

Thank you for your application and happy to see that you have chosen Harmony to launch your project. Being a huge sports fan myself and involved in it so long, i’d love to see more projects focusing on sports.

Couple of questions before we consider your proposal.

  • I see that you have a functioning product on Polygon testnet. Are you planning on launching this on Polygon first?

  • Our Launches track have clear guidelines on funding, which are as follows:

    $10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
    $10K after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs
    $10K after launching on our mainnet with audit
    $10K after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
    $10K after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)

Will you be able to adjust your milestones and agree with above?

Thank you and welcome to Harmony Community!

Hi @HarmonyUniverse,

First of all, thanks for the prompt response.

With respect to launching on polygon first, no we were building prototype and not fully functional product then and hence we thought its easier to deploy it on Polygon at first. But our plan is to launch the app on Harmony first.

Sure, we would agree to the milestones as per guidelines, however I would like to know if Harmony community can help with Audit process as well.

Thanks Naik! Good to hear you will be launching on Harmony.
When you mention audit, do you mean testing the app on testnet etc? Because projects are mostly responsible for their own audits and execution however the community here is very supportive for tests and everything else when ready.

Hi @HarmonyUniverse ,

No I meant audit of the contracts, because audit process is expensive was wondering if we can get any support from Community to achieve that.

Thank you Naik.

Harmony community doesn’t have the means to support projects audits, however if you agree the Launch milestones and deliver them on time, with the grant funds available to you upon milestone delivery, you can pursue the audits.

Let us know if you agree and we can approve you for the Launch Track.

@HarmonyUniverse

Sure Sounds good. Please let us know how to move ahead

Thank you!
Approved for $50K Launch grant. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing this built out on the with the first milestone for a Testnet Launch built on Harmony :tada:

“Testnet Launch” means launching a feature-complete product on Harmony Testnet . We define feature complete to include a user interface, connection to a wallet (Metamask, Harmony ONE Chrome Extension, etc.) on Testnet, and can be tested end-to-end by at least 100 users.

Funds will be released upon completing these milestones

$10K after launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
$10K after forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs
$10K after launching on our mainnet with audit
$10K after 1K daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
$10K after 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)

Meanwhile, to prepare receiving funds, email your identification documents to kyc@harmony.one and create a Gnosis Safe MultiSig wallet at https://multisig.harmony.one and using instructions below

Hi, Thank you for showing interest in our project. We are going live in a few days with our website, meanwhile I would like to share our Whitepaper in here: Inception - Whitepaper for community to have a understanding on how we would like to go forward.

We would sincerely apologize to the community and eager sports fans in making them wait longer but we wanted to bring really safe and good project for the community to engage with sports. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

@HarmonyUniverse @cheualx We have deployed our application on harmony testnet, here is the link to the website: https://spock.one/

Please do let us know the feedback. We would be deploying more players in next couple of days so that community can trade between more players.
