Cardano will be introducing dRep support for Catalyst. However, at the moment, there is no SDK for wallets and projects to implement dRep support
We will update our existing Catalyst registration SDK to support dRep registration, add dRep indexing to Carp and implement dRep support inside Flint Wallet
This is the total amount allocated to Catalyst SDK dRep support.
We will perform the following:
Additionally, we will continue our ongoing discussions with IOG about Catalyst registration process changes and the dRep functionality. There was talk of dcSpark also making the updates to CIP30 required for dRep support, which may end up falling under the scope of this proposal
The SDK and the Carp indexer integration will be fully usable by any other project that either wants to add Catalyst registration support or index Catalyst registration information from the blockchain
No risk other than standard engineering risk (delayed, over-budget, etc)
We plan to build the SDK in early Q3 and the indexer + Flint support in late Q3
All funds will be put towards developer cost
1 Rust engineer + 1 part-time project lead
Not unless there are future changes to Catalyst that require future upgrades
Successful release of the SDK and its integration by other tools (either directly by NPM downloads or indirectly by being used as a reference implementation for other implementations)
Successful release of the SDK which allows dRep support for future Catalyst rounds along with proper integration in wallets
New proposal
