- Chris Veselinov is the CTO of LimeChain and is proposing phase 2 development for Gosemble.
- Gosemble is a framework that helps build tools compatible with something called Substrate, using the Go programming language.
- Phase 1 was successfully completed with funding from a motion, and details are available in a report and article.

This project aims to create a new metadata protocol for offline devices and implement it in important tools like Ledger and Kampela. The project will also develop tools to port the protocol to other wallets and key management devices, including Polkadot Vault. The goal is to improve transaction security and network resilience.

The project is a joint development between Alzymologist Oy and Zondax. The main problems to be solved are the large size of metadata and ensuring its authenticity. The proposed solution includes adding a hash of metadata to signing inputs and reducing the size of transferred metadata.

The project has four milestones:

1. Requirements specifications and metadata review.
2. Offline metadata prototype.
3. Offline metadata specifications.
4. Offline devices implementation.

The total cost of development is €527,200, with an additional 2% for potential price volatility, totaling €537,744, which translates to 110.693,7 DOT. The funds will be deposited into Alzymologist Oy's account, and they will subcontract Zondax AG for 45.5% of the total amount of DOTs to cover their costs.

The project team includes Alzymologist Oy, a multidisciplinary team based in Finland, and Zondax AG, a team with experience in more than 50 blockchains.
