Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.
Roots Wallet is close in having a way for us to start working through these use cases. We have built Angular components to handle a document check process, but this still involves a centralized server where documents are uploaded to. We now need to work to decentralize this process nearing completion from Fund 8.
We were aiming for a Fall rollout, but it looks more like the Spring 2023 semester would be more feasible to aim for a use case using real immigration documents.
Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.
$3,900 is allocated to assist with paying people like Jim St. Clair consulting fees that can provide insights to our use cases, as well as my own time spent in developing the materials, code, and other needed items for our use cases and documentation of those efforts and accomplishments.
Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.
