Summary

This proposal requests retroactive and maintenance funding for three already-delivered infrastructure contributions that improve how developers integrate with Canton from Go and Python. The work provides reusable SDKs, code generation, wallet/backend tooling, and upstream client improvements that reduce integration overhead, improve upgrade resilience, and make Canton more accessible to teams building real backend and infrastructure systems. Over the next 6 months, the grant would also fund maintenance, documentation, onboarding materials, and ecosystem enablement activities to increase adoption and long-term utility.

Notes for Reviewers

  • This proposal includes a retroactive funding component for infrastructure work that has already been delivered and adopted before the grant program became available.
  • The requested forward-looking budget is intended not only for bug fixes and compatibility work, but also for documentation, onboarding materials, and developer enablement activities that increase adoption across the ecosystem.
  • The Go SDK and Go Wallet SDK are already seeing early real-world usage (approximately 4–5 teams, including our own, based on our current observations), which we view as an early signal of ecosystem need.
  • After the proposed 6-month maintenance window, we expect the funding and scope to be reviewed and reassessed based on adoption, ecosystem demand, and the amount of ongoing compatibility work required.
