Notes

• Swarm.city faced a number of technical challenges with Whisper when building the first version
  • In this SDK context, there will be an opportunity to work directly with the Waku team and resolve issues with the libraries and protocols
• Vac: Research division of Status work on Waku
  • Waku: Decentralized communication protocol family and network, built as a public good
  • WakuConnect: Effort to push for Waku adoption by providing documentation, examples, libraries and SDK to web/dApp developers
  • One of WakuConnect's strategy is to build SDKs that make it easy for developer to use Waku for a specific use case: Chat, Vote, Poll, Marketplace.
• WakuConnect Marketplace SDK:
  • The goal is to build a generalized marketplace SDK
  • The marketplace can start generic ( a la Swarm.city hashtags) and then be extended for specific use cases (e.g. rideshare with maps)
  • This SDK can then be used by the Swarm.city team (and others) to build their own dApp.
• Regarding incentivized storage, this is a known issue. We are working on temporary solutions to solve in Status Desktop App. The long term vision is Codex (prev. Dagger), a decentralized storage protocol. Codex is currently being designed and built by the Status/Nimbus teams.
• Swarm.city use a gamified approach to work.
• The proposed approach is to define a number of user story with time/price estimation (for a bucket of stories for examples).
  • We can be flexible on Status' side, let's find an approach that work for everyone.
• Swarm.city plans the work, Status feedback/review
  • Status will want to review the design (e.g. figma docs)
• Swarm.city may have 2-4 developers interested.

Michelle, it may be better to use #wakuconnect-marketplace-sdk on the Vac server to discuss the work as it'll make it easier to rope in other Vac/Status team members.

Happy to have a private channel to discuss finance on Swarm.city Discord.
