Champion request - CantonTrace (Dev Fund PR

1. #1CantonTrace (Dev Fund PR03-06-2026source ↗
   Hi, I've submitted a Canton Dev Fund proposal in April 10 for CantonTrace - an open-source web debugger for Canton/Daml, and I'm looking for a Champion from the Daml Tooling SIG.

   
   

    - PR: https://github.com/canton-foundation/canton-dev-fund/pull/185

    - Live prototype: https://cantontrace.com (sign in → Demo Sandbox)

    - Walkthrough (3 min): https://youtu.be/xjXGmoFw7xA

   
   

   It addresses the visual debugging gap surfaced in the 2026 Developer Experience Survey: a browser-based tool to inspect contracts, inspect and replay transactions, simulate commands before submitting, and step through Daml execution line-by-line to debug failures.

   
   

   Would any of you be willing to champion it? Happy to do a quick call or just take questions in the PR.

   
   

   Thanks,

   Mert Köklü
