Add Plutus script cost calculation to Scalus. Scalus
Re-organize the project and extract a separate library from it.
Use Scala ability to work on JVM, JS and LLVM platforms.
There is no library to evaluate Plutus scripts and its execution budget except Haskell OG.
Projects have to use Blockfrost or Haskell CLI tools to compute transaction fees.
Please describe your proposed solution.
Add Plutus script cost calculation to Scalus.
Re-organize the project and extract a separate library from it.
Use Scala ability to work on JVM, JS and LLVM platforms.
Make Java API and export the library to Maven Central.
Make TypeScript API and binding and export the library to NPM.
Make C API headers.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.
All DApp developers will be able to evaluate their scripts and calculate Tx fees and execution budgets from their JVM and JavaScript code.
On Node.js backend, and in a browser.
Potentiall even on Adnoid and iOS!
That's going to be sensational!
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
I’m a former compiler engineer at IOG, I worked on Marlowe DSL (<https://marlowe.iohk.io>).
I’m a senior Scala engineer with more than 10 years of Scala development experience with companies like UBS and Deutsche Bank.
I’m already working on Scalus and have visible results. Current version of Scalus 0.3 already works quite well and is able to compile large and complex contracts that work on Testnet and Mainnet.
What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

It has Java API. The library jar files are published to Maven Central.
It has TypeScript API binding, and the library is published to NPM.
It has C header files and it can be compiled as a C library.
Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources.
Add Plutus script cost calculation to Scalus. – 160h
Re-organize the project and extract a separate library from it – 40h
Make Java API and export the library to Maven Central – 40 h
Make TypeScript API and binding and export the library to NPM – 40h
Support LLVM platform – 120h
Make C API headers and C library compilation – 40h
Documentation – 40h
Total hours 480h * $80 / 0.3 = 128000
How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?
