In order for Cardano adoption, we always need better tools. In this proposal, we upgrade Mesh to provide new tools for builders, to improve developer experience, and to increase Cardano adoption.
This is the total amount allocated to Mesh New Features to Improve Developer experience and Cardano Adoption.
NB: Monthly reporting was deprecated from January 2024 and replaced fully by the Milestones Program framework. Learn more here
We will upgrade Mesh by implementing CIP 45, WebRTC wallet connect, handle multiple serialization libs, revamp to support backend transactions building, and improve error messages to improve DevXP
No dependencies
All Proposal outputs will be fully open sourced, useful for anyone who is building applications or learning how Cardano works.
We aim to enhance the Cardano developer ecosystem by providing robust, user-friendly, and interoperable development tools and resources for the Cardano developer ecosystem.
Through the implementation of CIP-45 integrations, the development of a new Mesh Wallet, the creation of a modular Cardano Serialization Library (CSL), and the improvement of developer tools, we want to lower barriers to entry and to improve usability.
Each milestone is designed to build upon the previous, ensuring a cumulative enhancement of the developer experience. By improving technical infrastructure and community engagement, the proposal will ideally not only serve the existing Cardano developer ecosystem.but also attract and support new developers who come to build on Cardano.
This project will help to enhance the Cardano ecosystem by introducing needed development tools and resources, improving interoperability, and lowering barriers to entry for developers
Trust and accountability:
MeshJS is one of the open source libraries with highest quality in the Cardano ecosystem. Our previous work is the best and most sincere argument to showcase that we have been constantly delivering our promises since inception.
Feasibility:
MeshJS team has inside out knowledge on Cardano and software development in all domains of Cardano DApp development. We understand what users and developers need and have a strong track record which undermines our competency in the field
