NO dependencies.
Project will be fully open source.
By updating the most used SDKs, we will provide developers with the necessary tools to continue seamless development on Cardano.
Up-to-date SDKs will allow the developers to focus on creating their products rather than spending time on updating / contributing to the SDK repositories to use the latest features. Also, this maintenance update will provide any necessary security and engine updates that may be pending.
We can track the number of closed relevant issues but the opinion of the developers is the most crucial one.
Having the most used SDKs up-to-date is always a good indicator for the developers that may rely on using it without any unforeseen drawbacks or pitfalls. This improves overall UX with Cardano ecosystem.
We are one of the most trusted entities in the Cardano ecosystem. We are best known for developing Blockfrost.io, a service that provides developers with an API to interact with Cardano blockchain.
In addition to more than 30 successful Catalyst proposals over the past two years, we’ve also integrated Cardano into a digital wallet application developed by one of the industry's top hardware wallet manufacturers.
Further adding to our portfolio, we have developed a unique solution for safeguarding and preserving the digital representation of Cardano NFTs by providing secure, global and long-lasting cold storage backups - Continuity Token.
With a skilled team of blockchain enthusiasts and experts, Five Binaries is committed to making the Cardano blockchain more accessible and secure for developers and users alike.
Main goal is to retain current developers and attract new ones into the ecosystem which we can measure by the number of downloads and other GitHub metrics.
We plan to deliver the first updates of SDKs within three months from the funding.
These will include maintenance updates as well as implementation of new endpoints.
We will revise and update the top 5 SDKs, creating pull requests with new features, engine updates and addressing issues that might be outstanding.
We plan to deliver the first updates of SDKs within three months from the funding.
These will include maintenance updates as well as implementation of new endpoints.
Our estimations indicate that the expenses associated with eachSDK will amount to approximately 50000 ADA.
The value for money comes from retaining the current Cardano developer base and attracting new developers by being able to use the newest tooling available.
The refresh of various SDKs will be executed partly by the in-house Blockfrost team and partly by experts in the specific languages. Our current Blockfrost team with a deep understanding of the Cardano blockchain and the Blockfrost platform, will be providing crucial guidance and expertise.
We do run a dedicated Discord channel, respond to GitHub issues and provide dedicated support when necessary.
