5 years ago Hey Alex,
We are glad you took the time to come up with a proposal for Nest.
Mostly in the light of our preferences in terms of design philosophies and after giving some careful thoughts (thanks for your patience), we chose to keep moving with an already existing Nest grantee proposing another approach to tackle the same problems (Frame). Your project is nevertheless very exciting and we’ll be watching closely for sure.
I'm going to close this for now. Always available if you have questions and we’d love to see you around!
Aragon Nest Proposal: Easier onboarding with Universal Logins
Abstract
We believe onboarding is one of the most critical yet underfunded pieces of the crypto puzzle. We intend to use meta-transactions, ens and other already existing pieces of the ecosystem to build an easier onboarding tool for ethereum. Universal Logins is an open architecture that uses multiple new standard in ethereum to create an onboarding experience that allows a dead simple signup/login that requires no downloads, no purchases of ether and no browser extensions.
We would like to create an example app that connects in a simplest manner possible, all the most interesting projects in the ecosystem. We could enable a simple onboarding for participating on an Aragon DAO that would not require metamask.
Deliverables
A "Universal Wallet", a simple app that connects to basic open finance protocols like unijswap, compound, maker, etc
The wallet also enables users to connect to third party apps, by creating local keys that are added to the main identity
We would create an integration where someone who has signed up to the universal wallet (or any app that uses the same standard) can easily use all the features in Aragon without ever needing to download anything or deal with cumbersome keys
Grant size
Funding: We are looking for grants in the range if $50k to $100k to make the Universal Login platform possible. All funding will go directly to ETHWorks, which has already built the demo and SDK that can be seen at
universallogin.io
Application requirements
We have already started building the architecture, and have presented it in multiple conferences so far. Meta-transactions are becoming more influential. Our current SDK can be seen and tested at https://github.com/UniversalLogin/UniversalLoginSDK
While I (Alex Van de Sande) am helping guide the efforts in building this, the full grant will go towards ETHWorks.io which has proven themselves extremely capable of delivering great software in time and are highly motivated to keep building
We are estimating the whole project will take about 350-450k to be completed in a satisfiable first stage, which is why we are aiming to have multiple smaller grants that enable the project to go forward.
Ethworks is a company based in Warsaw.
Development timeline
The development timeline will be the following one in regards to each deliverable:
Q2 we want to have a semi-production ready sdk by Q2 with
