Our original proposal passed, but I sadly made an error and set one parameter wrong so it didn't execute. We would kindly ask you to vote again and help us make the proposal pass again. This time with the right preimage.

Thanks

This TIP is a request for compensation for time spent working on researching existing solidity smart contract tooling.

Research

has been created to help Parity Smart contract team decide what is the best tooling to test their upcoming Polkadot VM and enable transition of Ethereum smart contract developers to Polkadot.

It took** 2 people to work on this research for 3 working days** (approx 1200 USD (3 x 8 x 50 USD) per person, so 2400 USD all together), but we are applying for only 1900 USD. We hope the community will appreciate this.

We believe the value generated is big, not only for the Parity smart contract team, but also for anyone else planning to work on solidity based tooling for Polkadot in the future.

Full report can be find here:

And we are adding for free also additional text which is placing smart contracts in Polkadot into the Plaza/Asset hub context: https://hackmd.io/@T6Wf5EsOQKe-6wyPjJPtuw/HkC2lL2dR

The inspiration

for applying tis tip came from the discussion with Alex from Parity smart contract team, who agrees, this work has been needed and should be fairly compensated.

Thank you

to the community for recognizing our work on this research and we hope you agree we created value for the ecosystem's future smart contract story on AssetHub/Plaza.
