Grant Application

This application is:

• [x] speculative (use this by default).
• [ ] an RFP response.

This application is:

• [ ] fully public.

Abstract

The goal of this proposal is to enhance the usability and security of Polkadot/Substrate native mobile applications (the ones in AppStore and Play Market). By enabling the apps to connect to the wallets when a signature for a transaction is needed, we propose to get rid of a cumbersome and potentially insecure private key handling burden.

The proposal is a follow up to our previous proposal: Polkadot/Substrate Swift API.

Hey @dileping. We're currently in the process of merging both grants programs. The process still remains mostly the same, but everything will happen on the common Grants Program repository. Also, milestone deliveries will always be public. Could you please close this PR and re-create on that repository? Thanks in advance.
