Hello everyone! 

This discussion post aims to gather feedback from the community about our upcoming treasury proposal for dAppForge. We are looking forward to receiving feedback! 

1. Project 

1.1 Summary of Important Points

We submitted a previous treasury proposal, ref 1343, and completed all the tasks/milestones.

Milestone 3 of 4 for dAppForge V1 is now completed. 

Here is our 

The dAppForge VS Code plug-in supports code generation and autocompletion for Solidity, Substrate, ink!, and Rust. It offers contextual insights into generated code, helping developers deepen their understanding and accelerate development. Each fine-tuned version increases performance and usability, enabling developers to build better and faster. This will lead to more applications being built on Polkadot. 

We have now completed 3 of the 4 milestones to build dAppForge V 1.0. To recap, these are the  4 milestones:

  • Milestone 1 (completed): the first iteration of LLM ( substrate only) and the VS Code plugin alpha version. 
  • Milestone 2 (completed: ref 985): The product's beta version. It includes a fine-tuned LLM model for substrate, integrated ink!, and a chat feature. 
  • Milestone 3 (completed: ref 1343): Added Solidity and Rust.
  • Milestone 4 (current and last treasury proposal): These are the main points:
    • Fine-tuning knowledge graphs for Solidity and Substrate (Solidity will receive additional focus, including Foundry integration).
    • Integrate Polkadot Hub (AssetHub) documentation to enable developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts on Polkadot Hub (AssetHub). This is crucial considering the launch of Solidity smart contracts on AssetHub in Q3 2025.
    • Benchmarking Solidity performance using SolEval to compare dAppForge with other AI models like Claude. Results will be published on our site. 
    • API Development to enable developers to use the AI outside the plug-in environment (e.g., bots for Discord/Telegram). This will include a freemium model for broader accessibility.

1.2 Overview 

Tagline: AI-powered plug-in for Polkadot developers that reduces development time. 

Brief description: Building on Polkadot is complex, creating a high barrier to entry. dAppForge aims to enable Polkadot developers to build better dApps, appchains, and parachains faster, lowering the entry barriers for new developers. The model can be used for code generation and autocompletion. It provides insights into the code generated, which helps developers increase their understanding of the programming languages. 

We have integrated Solidity and now aim to enable developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts on the Polkadot Hub (AssetHub) once Plazza is completed in Q3 2025. 

Motivation:  Polkadot has the second-largest developer ecosystem and consistent growth in developer activity. dAppForge aims to empower existing developers and make it easier for new developers to join and build on Polkadot. With the launch of smart contracts on AssetHub, we want to make it as easy as possible to onboard this new category of developers (smart contract developers) into the ecosystem. 

Here is the complete proposal:

Aye! It's been inspiring to watch dAppForge's team deliver real tools that we can use during daily work at G6 Networks.

Our Substrate developers have already started using the dAppForge, and its proving to be a useful, helping us to accelerate both the public and private chain developments. When you make it easier for people to do great work, great things happen. Keep going! We are with you!

Best,

About the Proposal

  • Short, clear, and straight to the point. No random bullshit generated by chatgpt.
  • Strong track record: Cristian has consistently delivered on past milestones.
  • Extensive comparisons with existing tools like ChatGPT and Claud
  • Transparent and structured: clearly explains what has been done, what is ongoing, and how the plan evolved.
  • Smart technical decisions:
    • Moving to a serverless architecture—efficient and scalable.
    • Providing an API usable beyond VSCode, which is appreciated by developers using alternative IDEs (e.g., JetBrains products).

What It Brings to the Polkadot Ecosystem

  • Tackles a real and persistent issue: difficult developer onboarding on Polkadot.
  • Lowers the barrier to entry for new developers:
    • Many devs won’t dig into sparse or complex documentation (which is still lacking in Polkadot’s case).
    • Without proper guidance, they often churn quickly or leave for ecosystems with smoother onboarding.
  • The use of AI to assist onboarding is a forward-thinking solution to keep developers engaged from the start.

Personal Suggestions

  • Consider increasing the UX/UI budget beyond $3k.
    • A polished and intuitive interface is key at this final stage.
    • A great UI will encourage users to stay and engage with the tool.
