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.

Zcash Reference Flow Kit v1: Android SDK Smoke Paths

Declined

Applicant requests a grant to finalize a local-only smoke-testing CLI tool for the Zcash Android SDK — providing zrf doctor, zrf smoke-receive, and zrf smoke-send commands that validate environment setup, receive/sync paths, and shielded-send paths against pinned fixture data, with a basic version already built and a public demo available. Requesting $12,500. Artkor: Before funding something like this as a separate grant, I would want to see clearer alignment with the existing SDK maintainers and a stronger signal that this work is needed and would actually be used. I think the work could have more value if it were developed in closer coordination with the teams already responsible for that part of the ecosystem. For that reason, my vote is to decline. Hanh: This is a SDK for Android based on what the ECC has built in the past for third party wallets. I think Unstoppable and Edge were using this. Developers should work with the repo owners which is ZODL.
