ink! OpenBrush 8-9, 11 milestone delivery
The purpose of OpenBrush is to grow the emerging WASM smart contracts field. As Gavin mentioned in this CoinDesk article, WebAssembly is the future of smart contracts. Also, as was mentioned in the approved WASM smart contracts bounty currently smart contracts parachains lead the ecosystem in terms of market adoption. However, despite WASM tech having a lot to offer, it's not being widely used at the moment simply because of lack of proper tooling and ecosystem infrastructure products. OpenBrush is a core infrastructure product, a starting point, and a base for every ink! dApp. 15+ production-grade teams and 3 parachains currently use OpenBrush. This proposal is a continuation of the development of the successful product, proposing the most developer-needed features, validated by market feedback.
Current Progress and Comments:
Referendum 153 is the re-try of the Kusama referendum 262 which sought to fund the same objectives. Kusama 262 was denied due to concerns of lack of transparency, difficulties with tracking the milestones on the repository and reporting. It was nothing but a suggestion for a re-submission of the proposal but Brushfam published on their medium site https://archive.ph/9ywJr that “The decision to leave Polkadot is long overdue” so they decided to abandon the entire ecosystem with a very emotional letter to the participants in the ecosystem. Moreover, this opened the discussion of whether or not a referendum approved is a guarantee or a guaranteed social contract or whether milestones are there to approve the delivery of such promises. In any case, it looked like Brushfam’s participants weren’t too happy neither with the outcome nor with their participation in the ecosystem. Moreover, the Brushfam team decided to remove their repository, even the code that was already funded. So in a way they were willing to hold the repositories and code hostage. The decision was overturned because of the outrage of many voices in the ecosystem. The controversy continued when Wu Blockchain & the Cointelegraph amplified the story along with the PolkaWorld story, which in a nutshell meant that it stopped as soon as the Polkaworld funds for their proposal were stopped. Allegedly, both stories were just a coincidence and neither Brushfam nor Polkaworld confirming that they shared their story to the media. https://archive.ph/MKu2C
