Aragon Nest Proposal: Instant GUI widgets for any smart contract #133

Closed patrykadas closed 5 years ago

patrykadas commented 5 years ago

Abstract

With almost two million deployed smart contracts and only around five hundreds daily dapp users, we want to improve the ease and accessibility of interactions with smart contracts.

Dappi is a tool to instantly create an embeddable, self-contained widget for any smart contract in three steps: pre-define functions, customize the look, use. It does not require any coding experience nor familiarity with the Web 3.0 stack and it provides accessibility and ease of use for the end user.

@patrykadas Thank you for submitting your proposal!

We have been reviewing your proposal and the work that you guys are doing, which is very interesting. You are doing some cool UI experiments! Unfortunately, this current project is not aligned with the priorities of the program at the moment. Nest is focusing on teams working on tools, infra and key applications for Aragon (mainly) that will help to have a product more satisfying to the users. Therefore, we have decided not to approve this proposal.

If in the future you are working on something that fits the above-mentioned priorities, please do not hesitate to apply again and let's keep in contact!
