Currently there is no opensource component that allows developers to interact with web wallets like Nami from .Net C# in Blazor WebAssembly
Currently the .NET Library, CardanoSharp, lacks appropriate support for deserialization of Cardano CBOR serialized transactions.
There is no high quality WordPress plugin for receiving ADA payments. 1/4 of all websites are built on WordPress, more than 2M on Laravel
There is no easy way to create DAOs on Cardano. We need open source community focused tooling that enables collaboration.
Cardano Lacks Simple Multi-Signature Wallet Applications.
Tipping URLs are cool, but it adds friction for transactions. We could have a better solution for that.
No incentives to provide automation tools, no provision of open source training or communication of what open source in Cardano entails.
Transactions for sending assets to many addresses will incur cumulative transaction fee unless batched together into one transaction.
Open sourced wallet projects have the potential for any SPO to offer and host (submit-api) a branded wallet for their delegators.
The Cardano ecosystem does not have a native C++ library which isolates Cardano from one of the largest open-source developer communities.
Cardano-serialization-lib is one of the top projects in the ecosystem used by almost all dApps & needs to be updated for the next hardfork
Currently, there exist few tools & software built for ARM-based computers making it hard for developers to build and use existing software.
The tools for Python developers to build on Cardano are currently limited and existing libraries need updating to wrap recent features.
There's a great deal of value locked in the data processed by Cardano and its ecosystem. How to extract it and make it available to all?
There is no common libraries to help C++ Developers build on Cardano.
Funding from Project Catalyst requires several months before funds are available. Critical community initiatives need faster funding.
Same things get discussed over and over again, nothing gets done. People have no mandate to drive change. No room for leadership to emerge.
The Catalyst Community needs open spaces to network and connect ideas and projects as well to discuss and participate in Catalyst governance
Many projects rely on an IOHK tool called cardano-db-sync. This means that when an issue is found in db-sync, the many projects are affected
DAOs on our Next-gen DAO collaboration platform needs strong traceability for governance changes and open-source capture of their charters
There are not enough project based learning (PBL) formats available for DEVs to become blockchain DEVs and deliver on the work ahead.
Flutter is the fastest growing mobile app developer community but currently there's no Flutter library support in the Cardano ecosystem.
Connecting UN frameworks like the SDGs to Proposals require analyses + evaluation. Support our research work in Fund 8 as in Fund 6.
Cardano needs a wallet with robust handling of multisig for enterprise use cases and for DAOs
Cardano needs to build bridges with more Web3 Tools that allow for decentralized collaboration.
LATAM Cardano Community participates proactively in building the Cardano Ecosystem without ensured and sustainable access to resources
With the current supply chain shortages, previously low cost devices are becoming too expensive to source.
To ensure decentralization, we need to make it easy for users and developers to run full node and archive nodes of Milkomeda
Cardano was designed to support secure smart contracts. Yet, testing, auditing, and even designing Cardano dApps involve serious challenges.
Often the seller of a CNFT does so to purchase another NFT from the same collection. This results in unnecessary fees & lost opportunities.
There is currently no standard and commonly used tool that can verify NFTs as real
Cardano open-source funding is less than $25m. We need other major donors in & out of Cardano to accelerate open-source funding and support.
PHP developers are missing tools to fully enjoy Blockfrost.io, a service that provides free and public Cardano API to developers.
Stateful Plutus smart contracts (DeFi) are difficult to implement due to Cardano’s current transaction size parameters (16kb Tx size limit).
Plutus developers don't have a standard open source contract tooling required to quickly build, test and simulate their smart contracts.
Video games requiring real-time 3D procedural generation have almost no options available, especially free and open source.
Creating robust Catalyst proposals can be difficult. Connection with existing structures and frameworks is time consuming.
Reference inputs (CIP-31) will address Cardano's "concurrency problem" but there are no guidelines on how best to implement this feature.
Lets say we got a reddit to run by ourselves. How would we change it in the spirit of Cardano?
