Project Title: Oku

Request for Proposal (RFP): Uniswap on Arbitrum Ecosystem tools or products

Requested Funding: $60,000 (~53,097 ARB at time of writing)

Team Members:

• Getty (CEO)
• Eddy (CTO)
• GFX Labs staff (total team is 15)

Project Overview:

Oku is a professional-grade user interface and analytics platform for Uniswap V3, supporting more than half a dozen chains, including Arbitrum One. This grant request is to defray the cost of maintaining Oku for Arbitrum for the next 12 months.

KPIs:

1. User Adoption: Achieve 1,000 monthly active users by Q3 2024.
2. Contract Interaction: Support users in making at least 20,000 transactions by Q3 2024.
3. Protocol Growth: Users deploy at least 10 new pools with $100,000 TVL with support from Oku's interface.

Milestones:

• Provide 12 months of support for Arbitrum One on Oku.trade
• Maintain the free Uniswap V3 developer API for Arbitrum's Uniswap instance

The supervisor for this grant plan can easily verify both of the above by accessing the Oku.trade site and the API.

Project Description:

Oku provides a full-service, professional level trading interface for Uniswap V3. It features limit orders, market data, and analytics. Oku also has a Uniswap V3 API to assist developers working with Uniswap in their dapp or service. Oku is already developed and live for Arbitrum One.

Community and Ecosystem Impact:

This project gives Uniswap v3 users an experience as good as that provided by centralized exchanges, with familiar offerings like market data and different order types. Oku is for sophisticated and high-frequency Uniswap users, which are of high value for Uniswap to attract and retain.

Oku also decentralizes access to Uniswap by providing an alternative to the basic user interface and by making a free API available to developers.

Conclusion:

A grant to Oku will lessen the financial impact of maintaining this interface for all Uniswap users and support further development. Oku does not collect any fees from users, and is free to use. Likewise, Oku's Uniswap V3 API is free to use for developers. There are ongoing costs for Oku's maintainance, and this grant helps to secure Oku as a first-in-class interface for sophisticated and high-frequency Uniswap users.
