Build a Creative Data Visualisation using Vega's APIs
SuDa2103 opened this issue · 14 comments
Vega is a proof of stake blockchain for creating and trading derivatives. It provides infrastructure for decentralised markets that settle in assets held on Ethereum, and in future also Bitcoin and other major collateral blockchains. Vega facilitates high speed, permissionless derivatives markets.
The Vega alpha mainnet showcases our technology and we are looking for passionate and talented members of the community to help us build out the vision by working with us to shape the end product.
Through a rich set of APIs, developers can build on top of the Vega network and build immersive web, mobile or desktop applications.
Description
The task we’d like to see the Vega community get stuck into is building a visualisation based on some of the trading data that can be accessed through Vega’s APIs.
Some good examples of this are:
There are currently three API transport types on Vega: gRPC, GraphQL and REST. These are described in some detail in with a set API how-to guides (complete with code examples) on https://docs.vega.xyz/.
Note: It is recommended you check out the docs to familiarise yourself with the current information. Also see the section below on "Familiarity with Vega" as this is an essential prerequisite.
This task is ideal for someone with Javascript knowledge and a passion for, or desire to learn REST, gRPC or GraphQL. We're looking for a front end client application with an interesting core visual element, highlighting either how vega blocks are being formed, either from many markets or a single one. We really want this to be as creative as possible, data points could include listing orders, streaming events, other market data etc.
Acceptance criteria
- Design and create a showcase application and a set of supporting how-to guides that describe how the application works, primarily the queries made to Vega.
- The application should be web based. You are free to use whatever tools you choose.
- Code and documentation should be open sourced under the MIT license.
- Design or CSS styling of the showcase app should somewhat align with the Vega branding.
- Bonus prizes available for the most unique visualisations - the wackier the better!!
