Fearless Wallet Desktop/Browser Plugin Proposal

Fearless Wallet Proposal: The link to the full proposal text is here

Context of the proposal

A native open source mobile app for iOS/Android
A native open source library for Substrate iOS/Android
Non-custodial and decentralized, communicating directly with blockchain nodes
An app with a superior UX/UI, performance and security
Used by 130 000+ people around the world (based on AppStore and Google Play data)
50 000+ active users (MAU) based on recent App Markets data
An important source of traffic, with 1 mln+ daily requests to Kusama and Polkadot, and other parachains (based on OnFinality nodes)
Fully funded and supported by the Kusama Treasury, and developed by SORAMITSU

This proposal is focused on:

A browser extension application for Chrome, all chromium based browsers (that support browser extensions) and Mozilla Firefox. In terms of the proposal, our team will design and develop a Browser extension application with a widget style interface that is compatible with and similar to (some extent) the Fearless Wallet mobile app (iOS/Android).
A desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux. Using Electron SDK it is possible to build Desktop apps for various operating systems with little effort. These desktop apps can be built from the same code base as the aforementioned Browser extension.
Wallet, network and asset management flows. We will cover the most important and necessary flows such as: wallet creation and import, handling many wallets, switching between several networks along with the “All networks” state, The main asset flows such as: send, receive, transaction history, teleport (cross-chain transfer), buy assets for fiat by means of Moonpay and RAMP services will also be covered.
Settings and chain account management flows. Main wallet flows aside, users need to have tools to manage their wallets, chain accounts, localisation, currencies, nodes, etc. The “Settings” set of features will be a solution to that. More detailed information about the corresponding flows is provided below in Section 3. Feature set of the proposal.
dApp connector logic support. We will develop a service that will allow a direct connection between the Fearless Wallet (iOS/Android) application and Browser extension to sign all dApp transactions.

Submission details

All details are available in the proposal.

The amount requested for the first submission is $268 400.
