Go-Substrate-Rpc-Client - Retroactive Maintenance Grant (Sept 2021 to Dec 2023)

The previous Maintenance Grant expired in August 2021. This grant is applying for maintenance retroactively since then, as well as future maintenance until the end of 2023. Continuous maintenance is required because changes in the Polkadot SDK (Substrate) require regular upgrades of the GSRPC library. Currently, the repository is used by more than 500 Github Go Modules such as: Snowbridge, Cosmos, Chainsafe, Chainlink and Bifrost among others.

A go library developed and used by centrifuge which is heavily used even outside the Polkadot ecosystem. Considering that not that many developers are familiar with the inner workings of the Go programming language, this library is important for interfacing with such key elements. The proposer still doesn’t have their on-chain id verified as of December 5th 2023.
