Polkadot-API: Apr-Jul development financing
Hi everyone,
As many of you might already know, Polkadot-API is a project conceived to build upon and surpass the foundational achievements of the PolkadotJs project. At its essence, Polkadot-API is a meticulously crafted suite of libraries, each designed to be composable, modular, and fundamentally aligned with a "light-client first" philosophy. Our overarching mission is to empower dApp developers by equipping them with a comprehensive array of tools, pivotal for the creation of truly decentralized applications. This initiative places a strong focus on elevating the developer experience.
We have recently posted an update for the past quarter on polkadot forum. As a highlight, the project team is growing: we have a new addition, @carlosala
The Polkadot-API development team is now seeking financing for the maintenance and development of Polkadot-API through treasury proposals. This post is here to gather your feedback on the proposal before submission on chain.
You can find all the details of this proposal in the following google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y-3To6olzLTORnraZCAMbZz0FUWBzPUt1OS1hKb-Zeo
Thank you for reading

This is important infrastructure work for those who will be building future Dapps on the Polkadot SDK, given the focus on light clients and DevEx. Note that while the funding is for April-July, it includes two of the developers attending the Polkadot Blockchain Academy in SG (not covered by the proposal), so the actual work time is three months. Great for the PBA!
@W1ZSPR3 thank you very much!
It is exactly as you say - the dev proposal plans for 3 months of 3 devs working full-time, but it's spread across 4 months, because @Josep and me will be attending the PBA, and @carlosala is starting development on May.
This is the kind of team OpenGov is here for. Thanks, guys!
