Description

Hi Gitcoin Grants team,

I’m building Alyx, an open-source crypto productivity stack composed of a Chrome New Tab dashboard and a Go backend API.
The product is already functional and focused on practical daily workflows for users tracking markets and opportunities.

### What is already live in the project:

- Chrome extension replacing the new tab with an on-chain dashboard UX
- Authenticated backend API for user data and sessions
- User features: wallets management, watchlist, jobs listing/posting, and profile endpoints
- Telegram integration (link/unlink + webhook flow)
- BTC price alerts via Telegram with a background worker fetching market prices and triggering notifications on above/below thresholds

### Why we are applying for Gitcoin funding:
We want to turn Alyx from a strong MVP into a reliable public good for crypto users and contributors, with a clear focus on:

- **Reliability**: hardening alert delivery, reducing false positives/duplicates, and improving observability
- **Feature depth**: extending alerts beyond single-asset/single-rule limitations and improving user control in extension settings
- **Open-source maturity**: tests, documentation, contributor onboarding, and issue-driven roadmap transparency

### How funds will be used (next 3–6 months):

- Backend quality and monitoring improvements
- Product expansion of alerting + automation workflows
- Developer documentation and contributor experience
- Security and maintenance work required for sustainable OSS operations
- Alyx is built in the open, and Gitcoin support would directly accelerate shipping useful, user-facing functionality while improving long-term maintainability for the community.
