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?
<u>Trust and Accountability</u>
SIDAN Lab is dedicated to advancing the Cardano ecosystem through active contributions to open-source projects. Our team plays a key role in developing and maintaining projects such as Vodka, Whisky, and MeshJS, ensuring tools are accessible and adaptable for the community. Collaborating with leading projects like Andamio and Maestro, we are deeply committed to fostering transparency, education, and community-driven innovation in blockchain development.
<u>Approach Validation</u>
Our contributions to Vodka and Whisky, used across Cardano, validate our approach to building reliable, community-oriented tools. These projects demonstrate our commitment to creating robust and scalable open-source solutions.
<u>Technical Approach Feasibility Research</u>
SIDAN Lab’s technical feasibility is grounded in its open-source ethos, with all major projects being publicly available for review, testing, and collaboration. This ensures continuous improvement and security, backed by transparency and public audits.
Feasibility:
- The project will be implemented in a phased approach, with each phase focusing on delivering practical developer tools, such as code snippets and blueprint parsing, which will be validated through community feedback.
- Our team is composed of skilled developers and educators who understand the nuances of blockchain development, ensuring the project stays on track.
- All source code will be publicly available, allowing for continuous feedback and improvement from the wider Cardano community.
- The scope of the development of this proposal is identified as an area that needs collaborative contribution by the engineers at the engineering department of Cardano Foundation, who will provide necessary support but not engineering efforts in delivering the milestone. As a declaration in the potential conflict of interests, the Cardano Foundation or the engineers of Cardano Foundation will not share any of the funds granted by this proposal.
