Our goal for **Telenova** is to build and maintain an **easy, clean, high-quality, open-source** **wallet** for **new users** (nocoiners/web2) to expand the Polkadot user base and fill the gap in the ecosystem.

This proposal covers the **retroactive funding for the research and development** of Telenova as a cross-platform application for the Polkadot ecosystem. 

The project contained a **Research phase of 2 months** to dive into the details of how to develop and publish a self-custodial wallet like Telenova as a TApp, as well as testing capabilities and limitations of Telegram as an application platform. 

**The next 4 months — Development phase** — this time has been dedicated to developing, verifying, setting up CI/CD, and the [release of Telenova](https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1771176616665756058) as a product that anyone from the 800M+ monthly active Telegram users can access today.
