Please describe your proposed solution.
We want to congratulate Cardano community for finally taking the step towards addressing the issues the ecosystem was facing around CIP-30 and to move forward to a solution that somewhat follows paths we have been suggesting non-stop since 2021 with GameChanger Wallet.
CIP-30 standard has been very kind to put Cardano quickly on the market map back in the day but now can be improved into a more modern and flexible solution towards making Cardano realize it's full potencial.
2 weeks after Nami was published and proposed the bases of what we now define as CIP-30 standard, GameChanger Wallet was released offering a different way to connect dapps to wallets on all kind of devices and contexts, on a more universal, flexible, scalable and composable standard that has been evolving on a single track ever since, improvement after improvement, offering today a mature integral solution, a fascinating amount of features and benefits not only for developers but also for end users, such as
- desktop, mobile, backend, hardware, multi-device support,
- language agnostic, multi-platform support,
- browser extension wallet,
- hardware wallet,
- shared treasury,
- script based address support,
- multisig, multi-transaction wallet and dapps,
- client side PAB behaviour
- universal, low code programming,
- auditability,
- security,
- code reusability,
- disaster recovery,
- full user data privacy preservation, dapps DONT need to know user data in order to work
- transport agnosticity, social media, ads, paper, screens,
- user-data agnosticity, static connections
- boosted open source collaboration
- interoperability,
- etc..
But as we know well innovation without proper funding (and thus popularity) makes not enough noise to reach the right places at the right time. As an argentinian solo developer without much help besides my closest colaborators, after 2.5 years of backing the project out of our savings and personal time, even after running free live coding sessions for almost a year sharing our model to the community, we failed to communicate my work in time to a broader audience.
Today at least 5 dapp connector alternatives/extensions are being in talks to replace or augment the CIP-30 specification, and Cardano community still has not heard properly about GC's model, not even properly tryied it out specially now that GC is the only multisig wallet implementation since 2021 that follows the basic specs that are being written today. Even with all the documentation we managed to wrote, the live coding sessions, video tutorials, and 75+ open source dapp examples on Github out of our own time availability and funding efforts.
We are so happy that Cardano has finally validated the principles behind our novel 2021 path but we are convinced that on this opportunity, after so much work already delivered, we can reach early to help shape this bright new era together, saving us all some time with these ~3 years of solution design and problem solving experience.
This is why we have decided to release as open source the entire dapp connector specification, the JSON schema of it and it's generated documentation, to allow any developer to use it, even to implement it on their own.
As version 2 of the wallet is reaching now it's 1 year long beta stage, and currently we don't have enough time to personally spend to share again all this information as we have been trying to do before, we want to ask Catalyst support to cover some final months of gathering user feedback and writing the final refinements and documentation to be able to hand to the community a suitable form of our latest API schema.
