ink!Hub Treasury Proposal
Beneficiary:Hey Builders!
Full Proposal
This proposal represents a strategic opportunity to collaborate with Astar Network, AlephZero, and Phala Network on ink! tooling.
We are excited to submit our proposal to the Polkadot Treasury for the development of Swanky, a comprehensive developer tooling solution designed to facilitate and streamline ink! (Rust) smart contract development within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. Drink! aims to provide support for ink! developers. It comes in two parts: 1. Drink library, which provides a minimal Substrate runtime allowing for ink! contracts development, together with a facade interface for interacting with it. 2. drink-cli command line tool, which puts Drink behind a friendly TUI. Our goal is to attract new developers to this space by simplifying the process of starting and managing projects.
This proposal aims to claim funding from the Polkadot Treasury for work on the Swanky Suite tool, Drink! Tool, ink! examples, and educational content in the period from September 2023 to February 2024.
To ensure transparency and accountability, we propose a task-based approach to funding. Our roadmap clearly outlines each stage of ink!Hub's development, with defined objectives and deliverables. Funding will be released upon the successful completion of each task (and after review and approval through Multisig), demonstrating tangible progress and value to the Polkadot community.
We value your feedback on the roadmap, which we've already shared with the Astar community on the:

Hi,
Thank you for the proposal.
We have a few questions:
— Can you please share more detail regarding the demand for the project deliverables?
— As this is a proposal with three parties - can you please share more details on how the project will be managed? How would potential disputes be handled between the parties in connection with project delivery?
— This is a complex project, and we suspect that it will require additional funding. What do ongoing maintenance costs look like, and do you plan to submit a subsequent treasury proposal?
— Does this project have a path to sustainability?
— Separately, we have heard (please debunk if this is not true) that at least one of the three parties in this proposal is in the process of migrating away from Polkadot. Is this true? If so, we are concerned about this introducing delivery risk.
Best, Ivy
Absolutely Aye! Ink! is super exciting and we need to support the tooling around it as much as possible. We at RMRK are very excited to review and finalise RMRK NFT implementation of Ink! smart contracts that Astar team built almost single handedly, and better tooling is absolutly necessary for the adoption
