Summary of Proposal
This proposal discusses brand awareness and marketing on the Staking Rewards platform and why we believe SSV should be implementing them right now.
Proposal Details
The goal of this proposal is to bring increased traffic, usage and awareness to the SSV Network through branding and informational marketing via the stakingrewards.com platform.
What is Staking Rewards?
Staking Rewards is the leading data aggregator for staking, used by ~300-400,000 investors, analysts, and crypto community enthusiasts globally on a monthly basis.
They are dominant in SEO (e.g. search for Ethereum Staking Rewards on Google), which is a huge driver for their traffic. In a recent survey conducted by Staking Rewards, they found that ~25%+ of their audience consists of individuals or affluent investors in crypto looking to stake (based on a sample of ~160). ~20% represents institutions inside and outside of the crypto space with clients such as Blockdaemon, Messari, Mintscan, Kiln, and hundreds of others.
Their API is used by many large funds, exchanges, and family offices and empowers users, providers, and protocols to access unique staking data, fundamental data and tools including but not limited to Coinbase, Figment. etc.
Staking Rewards help crypto investors and builders make long-term decisions about what to invest in, build on, and how to earn passive income from their crypto. They empower them by providing them with the tools and data they need to make financial decisions, as well as making it simple for them to participate in or learn about staking.
Why this grant?
Together, we want to bring a substantial increase in attention to SSV Network through a custom SSV tag on the top of every SSV Network operator’s profile on Staking Rewards.
The tag would stand out with a distinctive colour on the top of each operator profile and would backlink to an in-depth article on SSV Network, the benefits of it and why everyone should know about and/or use it.
There are currently 30 SSV operators on Staking Rewards. The remaining would be added upon agreement of the grant.
SSV Network could anticipate ~north of 600k impressions on the operator profiles as in the market conditions over a year to this extremely specific user group, including our target audience. Operators are averaging ~1.8k views per month per profile. Together, we would expect these numbers to increase dramatically in a bull market and also as Staking Rewards grows with the upcoming traffic from the merge. This is not including when the 15+ other operators are also added to the site (no additional cost per operator).
The Details:
Custom feature - SSV Tag on SSV Operator Provider Profiles
- €6,000 per month * 12 months = €60,000 - 30% partner discount = €42,000 per year
- Breakdown:
- €42,000 per year / 30 SSV operators currently on Staking Rewards = €1400 per year for the tag per operator which is 116 euros per month per operator
- We will add the remaining 15 SSV operators and any more to come to Staking Rewards to drive this price down further over time
- With 45 operators the tag will cost €77 per month per operator
Total = €84,000 for two years
In-Depth Review Article on SSV
