Namelayer: Roadmap + Milestones

Namelayer — a decentralized rebellion against the money masters and data collectors of the old World Wide Web.

Project Name: Namelayer

Project Members:

Email: taylor@tetrashapes.com

GitHub Repo: TBD

Deliverables:

Overview

A fully decentralized service that bridges the gap between Handshake and Smart contracts — allowing the staking and fractionalization of domains and ability to pay for domains with ERC20 tokens, providing a lean interface to interact with the Handshake blockchain, and connecting TLD owners with renters through an intuitive marketplace.

Our goal is not to build the best, most decentralized SLD solution (traditional registrar) out there.

Our goal is two-sided: to build a robust service to Handshake TLD owners as well as to build a great user experience for would-be SLD renters. This platform would be the place to match the two customer archetypes.

Our goal is to help TLD owners earn income from renting out their names by matching them to SLD renters who don’t want to serve their own TLDs.

I'd like to see an iterative progression of features for every milestone hit between 3 major milestones: v1 - v3. Payment structure can be as follows: half upfront at the start of each milestone and half upon completion of milestone deliverable.

v1 milestone

With a v1 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $25K USD equivalent

v2 milestone

With a v2 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $50K USD equivalent

v3 milestone

With a v3 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $70K USD equivalent


The mantle of becoming the Metamask for Handshake is taken by any team that can fulfill these minimum requirements. Anything in addition to this MVP is lower on the list of priorities and further down the foreseeable roadmap. There should be hyperfocus on just the development and UI/UX aspects of this grant. Marketing, knowledge bases, ENS integration, Shakedex integration, and any other cost of setup outlined in the "Product" or "Marketing" rows should be outside the scope of this grant. The desired product is a beautiful browser extension and mobile application that end-users can rely on as their one-stop-shop for managing anything related to Handshake so that users don't ultimately have to fall back on Namebase for that support.

Thank you for the boiled down milestones and deliverables—it’s easy to get lost in the big picture. This is great for us, as it allows a more focused approach to the same end goal.

We are excited to accept this revised roadmap as is, save one aspect—the Bob Wallet Extension (v1 milestone), is already in the works, however, they need help completing core features as well as designing the UI/UX and developing the front end. In essence, we would jump in and lead the charge on completing the project. As the Bob Extension is open source, we could fork and re-brand at any point in the future.

i am also looking forward to work on v1 milestone. i forked the bob wallet extension https://github.com/kyokan/bob-extension it seems built using react js.

suhailvs commented 3 years ago

i am working on v1 milestone. hopes to create an issue at the end of September(after 4 weeks worth work). I run the handshake full node using https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd around 9.4gb. now playing with the apis(such as curl http://x:api-key@127.0.0.1:14039/wallet/$id/auction). so far everything seems going on right track. is the work open source (MIT license)?

caseykennedy commented 3 years ago

With the Bob Wallet Ext. already meeting (almost) half of the v1 milestone criteria, we propose a new value/cost estimate of $12.5K USD equivalent to complete the remaining aspects of the milestone in order to move on to v2 milestone.

Remaining v1 aspects:

Updated roadmap:

v1 milestone

With a v1 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $12.5K USD equivalent

v2 milestone

With a v2 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

a mobile app with all of the functionality of v1 for both android and iOS

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $50K USD equivalent

v3 milestone

With a v3 milestone target, the following minimum required feature should be in working order:

Proposed est. value/cost estimate: $70K USD equivalent
