Bounty Proposal: Kusama Council Alert App

rrtti-5220
4 years ago

As we experience a continued growth in the Kusama ecosystem, it becomes imperative to find ways to communicate with stakeholders in an efficient manner, making sure all information is distributed for informed decisions to be taken, especially in the case of Council and Technical Committee members.

The goal of this proposal is to develop a basic app that listens to on-chain calls and notifies Council members when their review and vote is needed. An app to help councillors know once they are needed to push forward emergency mechanisms on-chain as well as other proposals would help mitigate the risk in the network. The app:

  • would connect to rpc node;
  • would connect with different networks;
  • would notify about events;
  • would watch wallet accounts and tell the user when pending;
  • would have different alert levels;
  • would recognise a "batcall" remark from council or TC members, with a system.remark "alertCouncil" that would trigger an alarm.

This proposal is submitted for discussion as a bounty and should be understood within efforts to increase council participation on the overall governance process and increase transparency in the governance process. The full bounty proposal, including tasks, budget and roadmap can be found HERE.

Leave your comments and questions on the post! I would already like to suggest Mario (Polkastats) as curator and Ana (La Colmena - Bitcoinera) as implementer, but is up for Council to decide. They both have been crucial in the development of this proposal.

First thought was security concerns of putting council accounts on a mobile device but it looks like this potential app can work on a watch-only basis and there should not be anything "private" to councilors. would be nice to see a "watcher/auditor" mode, where community members can see/be notified for all activity, I'd imagine this would be the majority of the folks using this app, if you like it or not :p

@jam10o indeed, the app is watch-only. Regarding the suggestion on watcher/auditor mode: we can add this feature. Anyone will be able to download the app, ofc, but council addresses will be notified on any emergency alerts.
