Building on Cardano often requires deep knowledge and the skill. With Gamechanger we want to take a different approach. We want to make writing dApps the domain of every web developer out there.
Gamachanger is made for rapid application developement. We are going to make it even better. Packing all our experience into a JS library that will make writing dApps easy for everyone
This is the total amount allocated to Gamechanger: Instant dApp, build for any device fast.

Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?
No
Describe any dependencies or write 'No dependencies'
No dependencies
Will your project's outputs be fully open source?
Yes
License and Additional Information
MIT License
Please choose the most relevant theme and tag related to the outcomes of your proposal
Developer Tools
Mention your open source license and describe your open source license rationale.
We would like to allow for maximum freedom to allow for adapting and extending the code base. Also the MIT license is straight forward and used in many projects on Cardano. This reduces license confilcts. We don't want to enforce people to contribute back, but we sure do appreciate it
How do you make sure your source code is accessible to the public from project start, and people are informed?
We have a proof of concept on github ready to release upon project start and Dandelion community and operators are aware already of it, it has been discussed publicly on our weekly open calls. It wil be easy to publish and accept additional contributors to enhance and build. Github is a cloud-based hosting service for Git repositories. Git is a version control system that tracks changes to files, lets you roll back to earlier versions, and supports branching for parallel development.
How will you provide high quality documentation?
We have published courses on Andamio and Wisdom.courses, we have experience with creating educational content. We have experience in documenting source code libraries and projects and we benefit on doing so to maximize open source collaboration oportunities.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Gamechanger has a beta version of a library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gamechanger-finance/gc) But it has a lot of limitations. We have been building dApps for a while now. Great examples are https://www.adamoments.io/ and https://arpradio.media/. The libary could really do with a major overhaul. Where we integrate all that knowledge into usefull functions any web developer can use.
The Javascript ecosystem moves fast. The library could do with an update. Making it much easier to integrate into the latest and greatest.
A must have feature for any dApp is the abbility to verify and remember the users wallet. This component takes signing in a step further. Combining it with webtokens to make interfering with a users session that extra step harder. It is already working in dApps. Adding it here will make it easy to use for everyone. https://github.com/arpradio/gc-connect
With inception we built a smart contract IDE dApp. This allows the user to compile contracts from source. Verify its validity and the execute it using the Gamechanger wallet. All you need is a browser. So we will add transpilation features of https://inception.m2tec.nl/ to this libary. This allows you to split a GCScript into mulitiple file. For example the smart contract code and the transaction code. Take a look at inception, it allows you to build a whole smart contract life cycle right in your browser.
This technology alreay leveraged by https://www.adamoments.io/ with great effect. An essential feature for any DAO that needs to work with multisig wallets and async transaction signing. Even for a single transaction this has benefits for the dApp. Because it can monitor transaction progress and make the user experience more interactive.
Make a dApp template that is easy to setup and deploy
We are working towards true decentralization which includes running the infrastructure for all our proposals. To truely scale we need to allow everyone to run anything.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Gamechanger already has good documentation. Including many tutorial videos on Andamio and Wisdom.courses. Through the first dApps like Adamoments(https://www.adamoments.io/) and Arpradio (https://arpradio.media/) Gamechanger is already showing that it can make building rich interactive dApps a reality. With this proposal we take the next step, reducing developer workload, end greatly improving time to market. Combining all the knowledge and technology into a single place. It will propel the ecosystem to new hights.
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?
We are a team of Cardano experts that have been building since the beginning. We have built the GameChanger Wallet (https://gamechanger.finance/) a unique innovative wallet. We have built a number of dApps and hardware payment solutions with M2tec (https://www.m2tec.nl/) We also built Dandelion-lite (https://github.com/GameChangerFinance/dandelion-lite) to make truly decentralized financial infrastructure a reality. We have gained a lot of experience in all aspects of Cardano developement.
We have also participated in a number of Catalyst Funds where we have won and executed on our promises. This indicates our proven track record of delivering. We are here to build the future of finance and are commited for the long term.
As descibed in our solution in detail we are aggregating and polishing components that have already been built. Because of this the project is low risk. With our experience and resources we have not set the bar too high here.

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
It is still early for the blockchain ecosystem. The Gamechanger dApp connecor is an important and considerably different approach. With significant advantages. For example you can login with any browser. And you can verify the transaction you are signing and the contracts you are executing. Carano should keep it's options open to make the chance of success as big as possible. This is important work. When completed together with other infrastructure improvements, provided by Dandelion-lite, it will open Cardano up to a extremely large set of developers. All the developers that are now building Web2.0. We have done this consistenty with minimal budgets.
