How is this data calculated?
- A human at Lido Nation manually comb through proposals 2 identify core members of a group. People denoted as such are listed on the group page.
- For these core member, a script finds all the proposals for which they are the primary author & attribute that proposal to the group.
Despite our best efforts to maintain the accuracy of the information presented here, inconsistencies may exist.

dcSpark Challenges (1)
Challenge: Open-ended Research
What research streams can be started or accelerated to keep Cardano competitive?
dcSpark Proposals (80)
Milkomeda Djed
Solution: Our team developed and deployed Djed for the testnet version of Milkomeda. This allowed both developers and users to play around with Djed before its official release on Cardano.
Rust SDK fix critical CBOR encoding
Solution: We will implement support in the cddl-codgen for generating Rust code that supports multiple CBOR encoding possibilities to ensure reliability of the Rust-based Cardano tool stack
cip25 (NFT) Rust & WASM library
Solution: We will create a native Rust, WASM and Typescript library that parses CIP25 from CBOR based on its CDDL specification given in CIP25
Cardano Wallet OneBox
Solution: We will provide a "Cardano Wallet OneBox". A single image that you can deploy which will setup all the downstream indexers and tools required to support all the endpoints needed to run a wallet
WalletConnect for Cardano
Solution: We will do the required engineering work to add WalletConnect support to FlintWallet and write information about how any other wallet in the Cardano ecosystem that has a mobile app can add support too
Catalyst SDK dRep support
Solution: We will update our existing Catalyst registration SDK to support dRep registration, add dRep indexing to Carp and implement dRep support inside Flint Wallet
Cardano carbon offset dapp
Solution: Development of a carbon emission model for Cardano and Milkomeda C1. a smart contract that support carbon credit tokens from Moss.earth, the emissions of the ecosystem can be made carbon neutral
Accelerator batch #3
Solution: A 4-6 week acceleration program in partnership with SOSV (one of the most active early stage investors in the US) that scout, attract, support, guide and fund startups with high potential of growth.
Fracada Addressing Audit
Solution: The funds will be used for a Plutus developer to address the concerns found in the audit, followed by publishing the audit and updated code for the community
Allow Cardano users to call Sidechain smart contracts directly from their Cardano mainnet wallet
Solution: We developed a system we called Wrapped Smart Contracts to allow users to call EVM contracts directly from any Cardano wallet (Nami, Eternl, Flint, etc.) without extra work for the wallet developers
Provide multiple templates on how to write apps and games for the Cardano ecosystem using Paima
Solution: Will write templates for various game & gamification to help builders making it not only more likely that they build their project, but also making it easier, faster and in the Cardano ecosystem
Powering onchain game functionality using Cardano stakepools
Solution: Paima Engine is the largest framework for creating onchain games and autonomous worlds in Cardano, and we will make it aware of pools and delegations so that pools can run gaming infrastructure
Extend NFT sale & drop tools to support dropping more complex assets as required for onchain games
Solution: We'll create a way to encode more complicated state like Kickstarter rewards into a single stateful NFT that tracks the user's cumulative backed amount that can be redeemed when the game is released
Paima onchain game integration of Frontend Game Engines & Novel Technology
Solution: We will integrate support for Paima Engine (engine to build games and gamification use-cases) into as many of the remaining platforms as we can
Core integrations to support the fast-growing onchain games and autonomous world segment
Solution: We plan to build a suite of tools to make user acquisition for onchain gaming and autonomous world use-cases significantly easier
Enable apps and games that require large amounts of data to function cheaply while still maximizing availability and safety
Solution: Allow projects using Paima Engine (which supports apps, games and soon zk protocols) to leverage "volitions": systems where users can choose whether or not to post the data onchain or elsewhere
