Extended work on Blobble #239

Please check one below.

Subcategory: Please check all which apply.

Team Introduction

The production of Blobble has been done by me alone so far ( for the biggest part ). I have received funds from the CPS earlier this year to develop the idea into a working product.

Grant Request Amount

Since the initial plan and funding, a lot have changed. This resulted in extra work and time.

In production I used MetaMask, but with their recent policy change I think it is a necessity to have Hana intergrated instead of MetaMask. Especially with the Hana app for mobile devices being released soon.

I have run in to issues integrating Hana with the game though. Yet again resulting in extra work. I am running on fumes and am looking to get some funds that will give some breathing room. 70% of all future Blobble revenue will be distributed to the users of the Blobble game, so I can not rely on future compensation for time spend, after going live. Therefor I am seeking for $5000,-

Project Description

@mohamedelshami is known with the Blobble project. I am happy to share the latest updates with him and / or the Snow team. Blobble will be launching on Snow. Obviously the most ICZ owners have Hana as their go-to wallet, making it easy as possible to start trying out Blobble and have fun on the Snow chain.

Milestone Duration

The goal for now is to launch with the Hana mobile app launch, although it's not perfectly clear to me when that is exactly. I expect to have at least 2 weeks of work to get Hana fully integrated, if the Hana app launches before that I won't be able to co-launch but will launch as soon as the work is done.

If the Hana app turns out to be delayed, I / we need to re-evaluate what will be best to do. But I am pretty sure the Hana mobile app should launch next month.

Kind regards,

Paul

Hi @paulrouge, thanks for your proposal and apologies for coming back from a break.

We would like to support the development effort for Blobble, and the budget for the given scope seems reasonable.

One point I would like to clarify, why MetaMask is a blocker? and wouldn't make more sense if any EVM compatible wallet is supported? there are few front-end plugins that allows this.

I'll follow up with you with regards to approving this. We are also considering moving our grants programme to SNOW bounties system, so once this formalised we might request to cross-reference this application via on-chain bounties.

Thanks for the reply @mohamedelshami!

When I started to implement Hana compatiblity I bumped into some issues. It took me quite some time to figure out how to get Hana working with Blobble.

Because of the fact that more or less all SNOW users atm are ICON users / communitiy members I decided to give Hana compatility priority. And put MetaMask / other wallets on the bench, sort of speak, mostly considering resources.

Some additional funds, as requested above, would give me the space to build support for any EVM wallet as you mentioned, without stressing too much on paying the bills. Would be happy to hear of you got any recommendations on front-end plug ins. I'm confident I can get that to work just fine!

Perhaps we can discuss further via email?
