Raidguild RFP - Upgrade Explorer

Purpose

What is the specific business problem does this solve? How does this align with an advance the vision? And why should we be working on this now?

Restore the Livepeer Explorer to a secure, maintainable, and high-performance state, as the current deprecated and unreliable Explorer limits visibility into the network, introduces security and stability risks, and prevents informed decision-making; recent outages, poor performance, and data quality issues make this work urgent to re-establish a trusted source of truth and enable future network and governance dashboards.

Outcome

What does overall success look like in one paragraph? And what are some of the tangible key results that the submissions should focus on?

Overview:

Overall success means the Explorer becomes a clean, secure, well-tested, high-performance codebase with no critical bugs, modern dependencies and a clear backlog. It delivers faster UX, a simplified data layer, and integrated voting transparency. It emerges as trusted infrastructure with a 6-month roadmap and an active maintainer team.

Key Metrics To Measure The Outcome Against:

• Resolution of existing issues in the Explorer repository.

• Degree of improvement in voting transparency based on the new voting-transparency feature.

• Degree of improvement in data quality, performance, codebase health, and security compared to the initial state.
