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

Problem

Cardano already has multiple sidechains live including its EVM sidechain Milkomeda. However, adoption is hard as most users understandably do not want to download a new wallet just for the sidechain

Allow Cardano users to call Sidechain smart contracts directly from their Cardano mainnet wallet

Please describe your proposed solution.

This will help adoption of sidechains and L2s in the Cardano ecosystem which gives more power to developers to create custom environments for their specific needs without having to worry about losing adoption because of it

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

  1. Number wrapped smart contract calls made
  2. Number of dApps that integrate wrapped smart contracts

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

We will share any code or documentation we wrote for the implementation publicly so that any app or game can integrate the functionality

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

Please see the content of both documents linked

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

dcSpark and Milkomeda are well renowned companies in the Cardano ecosystem that have a long history of delivering on Catalyst proposals. You can find progress on grants we have previously received at https://dcspark.io/grants

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goal of the project is to make it easier to onboard users into the sidechain/L2 ecosystem. Many potential users do not want to create new wallets for each different execution layer, and we want these users to be able to easily onboard with as few hurdles as possible

We know this project is technically feasible as we have already built it and are in the final stages of testing

Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

  1. Release the specifications
  2. Complete the Milkomeda hardfork
  3. Upgrade and audit the Milkomeda bridge
  4. Announce partner integrations of Wrapped Smart Contracts into their dApps

Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

  1. Public documentation
  2. Announcement
  3. Audit release
  4. Announcements of integrations

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

  1. 30k
  2. 20k
  3. 30k
  4. 20k

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

  • Milkomeda (work on the sidechain itself)
  • dcSpark (development support)

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

This provides value by increasing the amount of use-cases that can be built in the Cardano ecosystem as projects that require a sidechain or L2 are now much more viable from a business perspective
