Automated Grant and Treasury Monitoring for LidoDAO
Track spending, grant impact, and deliverables — all in one place, with full transparency and real-time insights.
TL’DR
This proposal outlines the development of a Grant Progress Tracking Dashboard for the LidoDAO-funded projects, designed to provide the community with a transparent, user-friendly platform for monitoring the progress of funded projects. The tracker will offer detailed milestone tracking, real-time updates, and automated alerts for deviations or delays. The goal is to provide unified access to all past and active grants, along with their statuses, with a total cost of $12,000
Motivation
Currently, tracking the progress of LidoDAO’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.
- Risk Detection: Using machine learning to detect early signs of risk (delays, stalled projects, deviations, and misuse)
These are illustrative only—the solution will be customized for LidoDAO’s structure and needs.

By providing a user-friendly platform for tracking grant progress, this proposal will strengthen accountability within the LidoDAO community and ensure the successful execution of grant-funded projects. The Dashboard can be integrated into the forum website tool for easy access. We’d love your thoughts on this initiative.
