Next Step Microgrant: npx create-fvm-dapp

[akhileshthite]

1. What is your project, and what problem does it solve? (max 100 words)

The project:

create-fvm-dapp is a full-stack starter template with React & Hardhat to develop, deploy, and test Solidity smart contracts on the FEVM network. The starter kit also includes pre-installed web3.storage, tailwindcss, web3.js, etc. packages.

The problem:

Currently, there's no full-stack developer tooling starter kit built for FEVM, and that makes it harder for developers to build dapps. Mostly FEVM developers are using remix to deploy their smart contracts, which is a time-consuming process and a bad practice to build a production-level dapp. create-fvm-dapp is the all-in-one solution for this problem.

Achievement:

Only two days after its publication, this package has already received 547 downloads and has received overwhelming response on social media. Tweet: https://twitter.com/akhileshthite_/status/1625528959101284354?s=20

3. a) How is IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology used in this project?

The starter tool kit currently includes a simple smart contract template that can be easily replaced by developers for deployment of their own smart contracts on the Hyperspace testnet (and Filecoin Mainnet in March). Future plans include the addition of more templates such as ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155, DAOs, and data DAOs.

b) Is this project building with the current microgrants focus area (FVM)? (Yes or No)

Yes

4. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective?

Number	Grant Deliverable	Briefly describe how you will meet deliverable objectives	Timeframe (within 3 months)

5. If accepted, do you agree to share monthly project updates in this Github issue for 3 months or until the project described here is complete?

Yes

6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

Yes

7. Links and submissions

Hi @akhileshthite, thank you for your proposal and for your patience. I know our review has required a considerable amount of time! Unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with a grant. Wishing you all the best as you continue building!
