Bounty Review Process Overview
Bounties form a big part of MetricsDAO’s mission to deliver high-quality analytics solutions. As our partners rely on accurate, timely, and informative analytics, it is important that MetricsDAO evaluates bounty submissions according to a specific set of criteria. These are Accuracy & Completeness, Insights, Visualizations, and Definitions. Submissions that get decent scores in these criteria are qualified to receive bounty payouts. Those that get a perfect score are then entitled to the gran...

Goldfinch Deep Dive
SummaryGoldfinch is a decentralized credit platform that enables loans without requiring on-chain collateral. This novel approach increases access to capital and expands the crypto lending market to users that otherwise would not have sufficient on-chain assets to qualify for a loan. Goldfinch’s “trust through consensus” mechanism allows lenders to directly evaluate the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, supporting but removing the need for on-chain collateral. Ultimately, this creates ...

I interviewed Anton last Friday, 28 January 22, and we spoke about his approach to analyzing DFK (DeFi Kingdom data). Anton made the 5th place on Harmony’s DFK Transaction Tracker Bounty! 🎉
Here’s a link to his amazing dashboard: Defi Kingdoms Report Generator — Anton Yip (dfk-report.vercel.app). And link to the bounty: Defi Kingdoms (harmony.one)
Q: Hi Anton! Thanks for taking the time to chat and congrats to your price. You chose Node.js to build the dashboard and a backend to query the Snowflake DB. Wow! Why Node?
Ant: I wasn’t very familiar with Node before this project, but it seemed the choice that would give me the quickest results. I don’t know Python or R well enough and the learning curve seemed steeper.
Q: Amazing! Did you do all the work yourself? Or did other MetricsDAO members pitch in?
Ant: I did it all by myself, within three weeks. I have a regular job, so this was a side project. I was also involved in the data curation of Harmony One for MetricsDAO. So I already knew the database layout.
Q: What’s your skill set? I see you developed a backend. Was that something that Snowflake offered? Ant: I’m a software engineer, so I’m familiar with many languages and can easily learn new ones. Snowflake didn’t offer the backend I wanted, but Node made it really easy to develop the APIs I needed.
Q: The dashboard is using Vercel, can you tell why you chose them?
Ant: Vercel makes spinning up applications like my dashboard a lot faster and easier. I’m very happy with them. I used them before and they are really good for rapid prototyping.
Q: Do you think DeFiKingdom choosing Harmony was a good choice?
Ant: I think Polygon would probably have been a better choice, but they chose Harmony, and in the end the problems there caught up with the game. Like blockchain spamming, for instance.
Q: So how much did you win?
Ant: The price is 600 JEWEL, which got paid out Feb 1st. I’m also working on another DFK dashboard for MetricsDAO at the moment. Due to the Chinese new year, I won’t have as much time, so I will submit what I can get to by the deadline.

Q: Thanks a lot for your time and looking forward to seeing you on MetricsDAO! If people want to follow you, where can they find you?
Ant: All the best! People can find me in the MetricsDAO Discord. My Discord username is Ant#8260.
