Quick intro: Vacuumlabs is a company that the development teams have been working with across many API3 products for a long time and will continue doing so in the foreseeable future. The core technical team will be spinning off to multiple proposals (for example byog is one of them) and Vacuumlabs will also start making their individual proposals. The budget of this proposal picks up from the previous cycle, and I’m being consulted about the team composition and what projects they are allocated to so I support the proposal and will submit it on their behalf. The hot wallet owners were okay with it too.
To clarify, Vacuumlabs will no longer be paid in USDC after this proposal.
Vacuumlabs Team Proposal
Period: 1 November 2022–31 January 2023 (3 months)
Proposal: Vacuumlabs dedicated team API3 development contribution
Amount: 0 USDC
Token allocation to contributors: We request up to 180,000 API3 tokens from the hot wallet to incentivize the API3-dedicated team from Vacuumlabs at Ethereum address 0x20AB51856126cF0F8A3e4013877BED63E39c1BFC.
Proposal parameters
Creator: bbenligiray.eth
Target Contract Address: 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 (USDC) Target Function Signature: transfer(address,uint256)
Parameters: [ “0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48”, “0” ]
The function call above does nothing in practice (transfers 0 USDC to the USDC token contract). This proposal is solely to allow the DAO to signal intent about the verbal components of this proposal.
Summary
A dedicated Vacuumlabs team started to contribute to API3 ecosystem codebases (mainly Airnode, ChainAPI and API3 DAO Dashboard) back in May 2021. Since then, the team has delivered a great amount of work and became a crucial part of API3 ecosystem product delivery efforts. The team would like to continue contributing to the API3 open-source codebase in cooperation with the API3 core technical team (anticipated to be substantially similar to the most recent contributing team here) and other technical ecosystem contributors, such as ChainAPI, Inc., and requests the above grant of API3 tokens to further strengthen aligned incentives and participate in API3 governance in lieu of a USDC grant for this period.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the Airnode codebase according to the roadmap defined by the core technical team and agreed by API3 DAO.
- Contribute to the ChainAPI codebase according to the roadmap defined by the ChainAPI, Inc. team and as agreed by API3 DAO in this proposal.
- Contribute to the Omnimarket codebase according to the roadmap defined by the core technical team and agreed by API3 DAO.
- Contribute to the API3 DAO Dashboard codebase according to the roadmap defined by the core technical team and agreed by API3 DAO.
- Support development of any additional products reasonably requested by the core technical team.
Budget
Development grant Up to 180,000 API3 tokens
