TL;DR

This proposal outlines the development of a Grant Progress Tracking Dashboard for the TON Foundation, designed to provide the community with a transparent, user-friendly platform for monitoring the progress of funded proposals. The tracker will offer detailed milestone tracking, real-time updates, and automated alerts for deviations or delays. The goal is to offer unified access to all past and active grants along with their statuses, with a total cost of $5,000.

Motivation

Currently, tracking the progress of the TON Foundation’s grant proposals is fragmented, with updates scattered across various update posts and channels. This lack of cohesion hinders the community’s ability to effectively oversee projects, evaluate progress, and address potential issues promptly.

---

Rationale

To overcome these challenges, we propose the development of a Grant Progress Tracker equipped with the following features:

• Milestone Tracking: Dedicated pages for each grant, displaying key milestones, progress indicators (e.g., progress bars, percentages), and completion status.
• Real-time Updates: Timely updates on milestone completion and overall project progress.
• Automated Alerts: Notifications for overdue milestones or significant deviations from the grant scope, delivered via in-app notifications and email.
• Visualizations: Charts and graphs to provide a visual representation of project progress and trends.
