I have a small grant proposal that will benefit ICON & its users.
Project Description
We have an idea of developing an Ecosystem Website for ICON that will provide a summary & information regarding ICON network projects. The ecosystem Website basically provides deep information regarding the project based on ICON to investors, traders, users, other projects, & partners. There is a perfect example of an Ecosystem Website (https://www.chainlinkecosystem.com/). Here you can find ChainLink provides all information regarding its partners, projects build under them, etc. It saves lots of time.
On the ICON Ecosystem Website, you can find the following information.
List of Projects Uses ICON (projects details, token details, website link, social media links, voting/ranking options,
List of exchanges that support ICON
Token price with chart
List of Swaps & bridges that support ICON
ICON Grant details & progress
ICON governance details

Currently, there is a page “https://icon.community/ecosystem/” on the official website that shows a list of projects built or related to the ICON ecosystem but it doesn’t provide any information. It doesn’t even have the list of projects that have participated in grants or launched through grant programs (for example gangstabet, VibraVid, and many more).
It is hard for users to track what is going on at ICON. Having an ecosystem website like Chainlinkecosystem(dot)com will help the whole ICON community.
Roadmap & Grant Milestone Details
Timeline: 2-3 months
Expense Estimate: $3000
Bluehost’s Pro hosting: 167.4 USD per year (including domain)
Web Development: 700 to 1000 USD one time
Website management: 90 USD per month (1080 per year)
I’d suggest reworking the proposal to extend the icon.community website. Don’t think another web property is needed at the moment since ICON is a fairly small project.
I agree with @bwhli and @Eric . I personally would like to see this idea reformulated into something that could not only be used for displaying data, but also conducting analytics by exposing a backend dataset. Something like the following:
Partner organizations
Ongoing projects
Popular / regular contributors
Grants and funding (from known sources)
Possibly some other stuff down the road…
This data could then be displayed on the ICON Ecosystem page The ICON Ecosystem | ICON Community either in addition to or in place of the existing format
I could also see this project being generalizeable and marketable for other public web3 ecosystems. Any sustainable business with ties to the ICON ecosystem would be a value add
The website/webpage The ICON Ecosystem | ICON Community has basic information and it is not even up to date for example some projects and partners are still not added here like ommfinance, exogenesis, Claws_NFT, Orbit_Chain, everstake, etc. I am offering website management in which I will keep the website updated with new projects and information.
The current ecosystem page shows only project name, logo, and website link. Which is not enough when community wants more information. Like if project is active or not, one of ICON ecosystem project “hx57” is inactive but still it is in the list. Ecosystem website will provide all needed information to the developers, users, investors, and whole community.
Conducting analytics is nice suggestion, I have thought of creating social media profile and sharing details regarding ICON and related projects. Can also publish monthly infographic with information like projects performing well basis on users, updates, tvl, marketcap, pricing, partnership, news, etc. but then I have to make changes in milestone.
Thanks for the proposal, this is Elise from the ICON marketing and communications team! Just a little heads up, our team is already reworking the icon.community website so we will take your feedback into consideration regarding the ecosystem page.
Think it would be a better use of community resources if we focus efforts on one source of information. Please reach out via John and Arosh on Discord if you’d like to schedule a call to discuss further!
Hello, as this thread got updated due to last reply. I went through Icon.community website and it seems it got not much changes and it is same as it was.
I suggest to recheck my proposal.
You are using already made theme & on wordpress and there is huge difference between site requirements. and we are designing from scratch so there is no comparison.
