Thank you everyone a lot for your constructive feedback. We decided to discontinue this proposal and will go back with a different proposal after adjusting the hourly rate.

Hello everyone,

My name is [Thang](https://x.com/realsinzii), the author and lead developer of [Dedot](https://github.com/dedotdev/dedot), the next generation of Javascript client for Polkadot and Substrate-based blockchains.

If you haven't heard of Dedot before, Dedot has been around for almost a year with the [initial support](https://grants.web3.foundation/applications/delightfuldot) from W3F Grants Program. We've recently publish a [post on Polkadot forum](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/introducing-dedot-a-delightful-javascript-client-for-polkadot-substrate-based-blockchains/8956) to officially introduce Dedot, we discussed about the limitations of [Polkadot.js API](https://github.com/polkadot-js/api) and how Dedot address those issues and also come with more features that aims to bring the dapps development experience of Polkadot ecosystem to the next level.

This proposal is asking for funding from the treasury for 3 months (July to Sep) to continue the development of Dedot, please read [our full proposal here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WhQDHxBETQnVMgbzo0T4ORIILSLicKsgQvRM5h7le80/edit?usp=sharing).

We've put together a demo dapp at [https://try.dedot.dev](https://try.dedot.dev) ([source-code](https://github.com/dedotdev/trydedot)) to showcase **dedot** features & functionalities:
  - You can connect with networks via RPC Node or Light Client ([smoldot](https://github.com/smol-dot/smoldot)), and via the [new](https://paritytech.github.io/json-rpc-interface-spec/introduction.html) or [legacy](https://github.com/w3f/PSPs/blob/master/PSPs/drafts/psp-6.md) JSON-RPC APIs.
  - You can also open the dapp and interact with networks on **mobile phone** with the support of [Coong Wallet](https://github.com/CoongCrafts/coong-wallet). Make sure to open it on a native browse app (Chrome, Safari or Firefox), in-app browser might not work as expected.
  - There're more working example code on [dedot](https://github.com/dedotdev/dedot/tree/main/zombienet-tests/src) repository that you might want to check out ([ink! smart contracts](https://github.com/dedotdev/dedot/blob/main/zombienet-tests/src/0001-check-contract-api.ts), [query storage](https://github.com/dedotdev/dedot/blob/main/zombienet-tests/src/0001-check-storage-query-v2.ts), [batch transaction](https://github.com/dedotdev/dedot/blob/main/zombienet-tests/src/0001-check-tx-batch-v2.ts), ...) or [sending XCM message](https://gist.github.com/sinzii/078a48976827e3a85f5cebda0930d1f9).
  - We'll be adding more working dapps to showcase more **dedot** features like interact with ink! smart contracts or send XCM in the future. Stay tuned for more!!

Please let us know if you have feedback or suggestions to improve Dedot. If you have any questions, we're happy to answer. Thank you!
