Stake.tax 2024-2025 Support

Tooling
Funding Amount

$30,000

Applicant

Roger Hong

Upfront

Milestone 1

$20,000 (in USDC)

Milestone 2

$10,000 (in USDC)

Completion

Stake.tax continues to be one of the most widely-used transaction CSV generators for Osmosis users seeking to comply with their crypto tax-reporting obligations. Roger previously received a grant from the OGP in 2022 to support the ongoing maintenance of the product and the addition of new messages and transaction types up to April 2023. Since the conclusion of that grant’s term over one year ago, Roger has continued to maintain the website and add minor new Osmosis messages, but larger messages (especially those related to apps deployed on Osmosis) are not yet supported, complicating Osmosis users’ ability to accurately track their transactions for tax reporting purposes. Milestone 1: Support for transaction messages for Levana, Mars Protocol / Support for Authz, Swap and action, Swap and forward messages / If Milestone 1 is not delivered by October 01, 2024 (2 weeks before the US tax extension deadline), OGP may, at its discretion, reduce the milestone payment amount by up to half. / Milestone 2: Ongoing maintenance for the stake.tax website and addition of major new Osmosis messages through the end of April 2025 / 48 hour uptime SLA on the website, 7 day SLA to add new messages to the website. If these SLAs aren’t met, OGP may, at its discretion reduce the grant amount pro-rata for each day in which the SLAs are not met.

This grant would fund updates to stake.tax on Osmosis to index and return transaction data for major Osmosis applications (mars v2, Levana, TFM) and SDK message types not currently represented on the website (Authz, Swap and forward, etc). The grant will also fund ongoing maintenance of the site through April of 2025, including the addition of new major message types expected to be added through that time, such as Osmosis orderbook transaction messages. The grant milestones will be subject to SLAs that may impact the grant amount.

Bitcoin Renaissance is an event organized by the Babylon team, scheduled for September 3rd in Seoul during Korea Blockchain Week. This exclusive event will bring together the brightest minds and leading projects in the Bitcoin space, providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore the evolution of Bitcoin’s ecosystem and the synergies between Bitcoin and Proof-of-Stake chains.

As Babylon prepares to launch BTC staking across multiple chains, beginning with Cosmos chains, we consider sponsoring this event to be strategically important for Osmosis. This sponsorship aligns with Osmosis’s goal of broad distribution within the Bitcoin community. The sponsorship package includes a panel speaker slot, and branding on event materials and social media pages.
