FPF source evidence

Milestone and disbursement ledger

Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.

These ledger rows are FPF source evidence. They do not by themselves prove that a progress update was accepted, a payment request was approved, or an on-chain settlement was completed. Named rows can also describe reimbursements, returned funds, or other ledger adjustments.

No normalized FPF milestone or disbursement rows are linked to this application yet. The application and its other source evidence remain available below.

Declined Asnyc

Applicant proposes a visual drag-and-drop development environment for building Zcash-powered applications, combining reusable Zcash-native workflow blocks, an AI-assisted natural language app builder, a sandbox testing environment, and code export to React/ Next.js . Requesting $45,000. Hanh: This was declined because the tooling that it offers is possible to do with standardized development tools. There are already interfaces to work with wallets using AI, and the rest of what it offers is rather standard user interface and backend services; I don’t think we need a dedicated app just for this. Zerodartz: We probably just need more and better documentation for many tools and things instead of this currently. Gguy: I worry about the adoption and use of this tool. Declined async
