Description

The project will be responsible for the creation and management of a dYdX Academy page. A stand-alone website, to be potentially integrated into the dYdX product down the line, will be create and populated with content on dYdX and related topics. The following topics will be covered:

Motivation

Educating users about the different types of cryptocurrencies, trading venues, and trading products helps companies and protocols build trust with users. We believe that dYdX can build from this idea by investing in a dedicated Academy page to educate users, build trust with them, and make dYdX their home.

In Grants v1, the team issued a number of grants tackling educational and dYdX related content with the hopes of tackling a similar approach for educating new users and improving onboarding. Although some quality content was created, the result was a distorted collection of inconsistent community generated content. To improve on this, we think launching a structured project with concentrated delegated efforts will lead to more tangible results.

Ultimately, the project will be responsible for building a dYdX Academy page with content that helps onboard new users to the dYdX product and community.

Project Manage role

The Project Manager will be responsible for managing day-to-day efforts across all contributors, coordinate the execution to keep content relevant, and report progress to the Grants team.

Grants role

Grants team will work alongside the project lead to identify qualified contributors for each responsibility, issue funding to each contributor, and hold both the PM and grantees accountable to performance.
