1) Total grant amount: $4,300

2) Project Description: BNS One, the complete product suite for registering, renewing and managing your BNS assets (and more!).

The project is a dedicated BNS platform with requirements driven by the BNS community. Design and product development work is already well specified and thought through under the title BNS One. The priority, first phase or milestone, of the grant will be to implement the design, animating the user experience connecting the application to the back via existing and new clarity contracts calls.

The focus will be to prioritise and deliver the high value features and fundamental BNS use cases.

The second phase will finalise the front end and include secondary / nice to have features. A road map to continue the project would be drawn up in consultation with the community but could include, for example, decentralised governance mechanisms along the lines of stx.eco and the ecosystem dao project, bitcoin focused features such as purchasing BNS names directly with bitcoin.

3) Impact: With over 310K names already registered on the BNS system there is an urgent need for tools which allow BNS holders to manage their names and portfolios.

We've seen the importance of naming systems to blockchain growth in the way ENS has become the de facto standard at the heart of the Ethereum ecosystem and clearly BNS is set to play the same role not only for Stackers but potentially for Bitcoiners as well - along with the market growth that this implies.

Decentralised identity is at the heart of the Stacks mission which started out, in the early days, entirely about decentralised names. Diagrams of Zooko's Triangle peppered the early messaging and the initial burnchain for the project was in fact Namecoin and not Bitcoin. BNS One is so central to the Stacks enterprise that the case for funding a dedicated portal is unquestionable.

4) Project Timelines, Milestones, and Deliverables: The scope of this application is strictly limited to the delivery of the figma designs of BNS One. It will be delivered in the following milestones;

Due to work commitments I have only recently completed the KYC process on the 14th August, so the project start date has been delayed slightly.

The new milestone dates are:

  1. 22nd September
  2. 6th October
  3. 27th October

This has been discussed with Rocky (call on 25th August) and is feasible for him and his team.
