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.

Qubit Wallet

Declined

QuBit Wallet is a self-custodial, quantum-resistant wallet that performs all cryptographic operations locally on the user’s device, eliminating server-side vulnerabilities and metadata exposure. Designed as a future-proof, privacy-first vault for multichain assets—including future Zcash integration—QuBit uses a locally derived and encrypted master seed to generate keypairs without relying on cloud services or external infrastructure. By isolating key generation, signing, and encryption completely offline, the wallet provides long-term protection against both current threats and emerging post-quantum risks. QuBit addresses critical gaps in today’s wallet landscape by offering an open-source, modular engine that strengthens user privacy, eliminates centralized attack vectors, and aligns closely with Zcash’s mission of secure, decentralized, and cryptographically sound privacy preservation. Applicant is requesting $45,000. Jason: We’re not interested in funding any more wallets. It doesn’t appear there is strong demand for product either. Zerodartz: Instead of making the wallet quantum resistant, actually the coin network should be quantum resistant instead. And Zcash already is quantum resistant at some levels when you don’t publicly share your address. Rejected

You should be able to post now. Startup funding + milestones must equal the total amount requested. So you'll either need to reconfigure your milestones or drop the startup funding to equal $45,000.
