ink!Hub Treasury Proposal

by Astar Network

Summary:

This proposal aims to claim funding from the Polkadot Treasury for work on the Swanky Suite tool, Drink! Tool, ink! examples, and educational content in the period from September 2023 to February 2024. To ensure transparency and accountability, we propose a task-based approach to funding. Our roadmap clearly outlines each stage of ink!Hub's development, with defined objectives and deliverables. Funding will be released upon the successful completion of each task (and after review and approval through Multisig), demonstrating tangible progress and value to the Polkadot community. This proposal represents a strategic opportunity to collaborate with Astar Network, AlephZero, and Phala Network on ink! tooling.

Current Progress and Comments:

An Astar led initiative that seeks to increase the use of tooling of the Ink! programming language as well as allegedly integrating with other WASM based ecosystems which also use Ink!. Since its inception they changed URLs from https://github.com/swankyhub https://github.com/orgs/swankyhub/projects/2/views/1 to https://github.com/inkdevhub The cli repository has not shown much activity but the cli repository is relatively active. The proposal was contested given Ivy Network’s concern about deliverables and the suspicion of the Astar team pivoting away from Polkadot. https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/137#A0sKRKkXqm0IBYwHBtxE
