No dependencies.
[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?
Yes[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs
MeshJS is a core open source contributor to the Cardano Developer ecosystem. All code is and will maintain open sourced, public and usable for anyone to build upon.
[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution
This proposal is actually very simple and straightforward. When you know the Cardano developer ecosystem, you most likely saw or used MeshJS open source tooling in some or other way.
Our Cardano - Open Source library, guides and tooling are well known and used and as we provide our services for free and open source and as we don't plan to change that, we are asking for Funding to maintain and operate already existing MeshJS code for a time frame of 5 months
[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
- Boost Developer Efficiency: Simplified processes and enhanced tools will reduce development time and frustrations, attracting more developers to build innovative solutions on Cardano.
- Enhance Community Collaboration: Open-source contributions and comprehensive documentation will foster a transparent and inclusive community environment, encouraging ongoing engagement and innovation.
- Drive Ecosystem Growth: With improved resources at their disposal, developers can create more robust applications, thus accelerating the growth and scalability of the Cardano platform.
[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
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
