Thesis

Renew Peel’s recurring payout at US$60,000 per funding cycle (FC). Peel is the team that builds and maintains juicebox.money.

Motivation

The Juicebox protocol needs a gold-standard frontend.

Other Juicebox frontends will come and go. But for the Juicebox protocol to continue to grow, there must be one frontend that stands the test of time.

Such a frontend must be built with security, longevity, and usability in mind. It must be built with (very) tight collaboration with the Juicebox contract crew. And it must balance new features with the need to support all past Juicebox projects.

juicebox.money is Juicebox’s gold-standard frontend.

And Peel is the team behind it.

Peel is delivering. We are a team of six engineers and two UX designers on the grind to keep the juice flowing.

Some highlights since our last payout renewal:

• Shipped a frontend for Juicebox V2, backwards-compatible with Juicebox V1.
• Overhauled our infrastructure to address critical security, reliability, performance and SEO issues. Our underlying tech stack is now NextJS, running on Vercel.
• Launched NFT Rewards and JBX staking (veBanny) on Rinkeby test net.
• Built a V2 upgrade path for V1 project token holders (behind a feature flag, pending general availability).
• Added a variety of user-requested features including Payable Address deployments, payment memo stickers, and a juicier home page (featured on Bankless).

But we are not done. Here’s what’s on our horizon:

• Multi-token funding. Fund your Juicebox treasury with USDC, DAI, ETH, and more (GitHub).
