License and Additional Information
All source code, including the Vue.js front-end, backend integrations, and all supporting scripts, will be published in a public GitHub repository. The MIT License allows anyone to freely use, modify, and distribute the code for personal or commercial purposes, provided that the original license and copyright notice are included. Additionally, we will release complete documentation, setup guides, and tutorials to ensure the community can easily deploy, maintain, and extend the tool.

Developer Tools
Mention your open source license and describe your open source license rationale.
The MIT License is a highly permissive open-source license that maximizes adoption and collaboration. It allows anyone to use, modify, and distribute the software—both for personal and commercial purposes—while requiring only that the original license and copyright notice be included in any redistributed copies.
This encourages contributions from the broader developer community, and removes barriers that might arise from restrictive licensing. By choosing the MIT License, we prioritize openness, ease of integration, and long-term sustainability for the Cardano ecosystem.
How do you make sure your source code is accessible to the public from project start, and people are informed?
We will host the project in a public GitHub repository from day one, with regular commits to ensure transparency. The repository will include the full source code, MIT License, documentation, and a project board for tracking progress. Updates will be shared through Cardano community channels so stakeholders can follow development, access the latest code, and contribute throughout the project’s lifecycle.
How will you provide high quality documentation?
We will create clear, detailed documentation covering setup, configuration, and usage, hosted in the public GitHub repository. This will include step-by-step guides, code examples, and in-app tutorials. All documentation will be regularly updated alongside development to ensure accuracy and will follow open-source best practices for clarity and accessibility.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
We will build a comprehensive, open-source multi-sig wallet management tool for Cardano in Vue.js.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
This project lowers barriers to multi-sig adoption for DAOs, projects, and individuals by providing an open, cost-effective solution. It revives the utility of under-maintained tools like RoundTable through seamless wallet imports, reduces hosting costs for multi-sig management by leveraging affordable infrastructure, and strengthens Cardano’s governance and security with accessible, decentralized tooling for the entire community.
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?
The team consists of experienced blockchain developers from Indigo Labs who have deployed some of the largest dApps on Cardano. Feasibility is validated by prior delivery of open-source Cardano SDKs and DeFi protocols.
Milestone Title
Core Multi-Sig Wallet Management Tool
Milestone Outputs
We will develop the core wallet management interface in Vue.js, enabling users to import and manage RoundTable and SummonDAO multi-sig wallets. This will also include basic transaction viewing and management features, creating the foundation for all future enhancements.
Acceptance Criteria
Users must be able to successfully import multi-sig wallets from RoundTable and SummonDAO, view their associated transactions, and perform basic management tasks through the tool without errors or missing functionality.
Evidence of Completion
A public GitHub repository will be published containing the full codebase, relevant documentation, and instructions for use. A demonstration video will show a complete wallet import and basic management workflow.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources
The total project cost is 100,000 ₳, allocated across three milestones. Milestone 1, focused on developing the core multi-sig wallet management tool, is budgeted at 37,500 ₳. Milestone 2, which expands the tool with advanced governance and transaction features, is also allocated 37,500 ₳. Milestone 3, covering detailed documentation, public hosting, and in-app tutorials, is budgeted at 25,000 ₳. This breakdown ensures resources are directed toward development, feature enhancements, and long-term accessibility.
How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
This project delivers essential, cost-effective multi-sig wallet infrastructure that will remain open source and free to use, lowering barriers for governance participation and wallet security. By leveraging affordable infrastructure, it ensures long-term sustainability and accessibility for the entire Cardano community.
