This includes:\\n\\nDefending Token Prices: Implementing bonding curves to defend token prices against speculative pump and dump scenarios.\\n\\nVolatility Reduction: Utilizing bonding curves for volatility reduction and liquid asset collection, providing a stable foundation for reward mechanisms.\\n\\nEducational Outreach: Educating the Optimism (OP) ecosystem on the effective use of bonding curves for sustainable market-making and project development.\\n\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Initial Strategy: Outline a high-level strategy for how you will achieve your intended impact and key goals for the next 3-6 months\",\"explanation\":\"High-Level Strategy: This project will develop research, tools, and educational resources to enhance understanding and implementation of bonding curves.\\n\\nTo achieve our intended impact, we will focus on the following goals over the next 6 months:\\n\\nMILESTONE 1 - Work period September - November\\n\\nBonding Curve Simulator v1: An interactive No-Code Bonding Curve Simulator built using cadCAD - an open-source Python package that assists in the processes of designing, testing and validating complex systems through simulation - and designed for intuitive exploration and understanding of bonding curve concepts without the need for coding or mathematical expertise. The simulation engine would lower barriers to entry for understanding bonding curves and provide valuable insights for launching new token economies on Optimism and Superchain.\\n\\nThis interactive Bonding Curve Simulator will allow users to:\\n\\nExplore Bonding Curves: Users can interactively explore different types of bonding curves, understanding their behavior and impact.\\nConfigure Parameters: Users can adjust various parameters of the bonding curves and observe the effects in real-time.\\nVisualize Data: The simulator provides visual representations of the bonding curves, making it easier to understand complex concepts.\\n\\nLearn Through Interaction: By interacting with the simulator, projects can learn about bonding curves in a hands-on manner, which is often more effective than passive learning.\\n\\nIt will solve the problem of accessibility and usability of bonding curves by providing an intuitive interface and a reliable simulation engine. The audience includes researchers, token economists, Web3 projects and DAOs interested in launching their token economy on bonding curves. We are open to further collaboration to look at Optimism and Superchain specific use cases in future iterations of this work.\\n\\nMILESTONE 2 - Work period November - January\\n\\nOP Token Model: Create token model analysis with OP historical price data reflecting retroactive grant rounds and sell off periods to analyze grant round selling on token price and performance (similar to our public goods token performance analysis). Report on model findings in a forum post for the OP community. Analysis could be used to support recommendations in changes to future retro grants program such as altering vesting schedules. The BCRG is open to collaboration or advisory to the OP team post analysis.\\n\\nInteractive Web App Development: Build an interactive web application that intuitively explains the significance and impact of bonding curves in token economies. This will serve as an educational tool for builders in the OP and Superchain ecosystem broadly about how and why to choose bonding curves to deploy their token economies.\\n\\nGuided Storytelling via Interactive CadCAD: Develop CadCAD simulation based modules to help users understand how to select parameters for their specific use cases and predict their impacts on token economics.\\n\\nMILESTONE 3 - Work period January - February\\n\\nLive data integration: CoinGecko/similar API integration for users to pull in any token data and learn about simulated historical behaviors of tokens under bonding curve Primary issuance markets.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Team Expertise: Provide a brief summary on the team’s background and relevant expertise in token engineering and/or OP\",\"explanation\":\"Shawn Anderson, an entrepreneurial data scientist with an MSc. from Simon Fraser University, founded Longtail Financial in 2018.
