AI Summary

First Polkadot dApp focused mobile wallet with full-featured NFT support that leverages Account Abstraction for achieving the best user experience and safety possible.

Tired of reading? Please watch the Polkadot Decoded presentation about PlutoWallet.

We are a team of enthusiastic developers, working on PlutoWallet for over 18 months now. Two of us have graduated from Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Berkeley, giving us all of the necessary knowledge to complete the solutions we are proposing.

Even though this is the very first time our team is approaching the Polkadot Treasury through OpenGov, we would like to state that members of our team have been long term contributors to the Polkadot ecosystem. We hope to form a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the Polkadot DAO and participate in the future success of Polkadot which we wanna help in achieving.

We understand that a wallet is more than just a dApp. It is a door into the world of Polkadot and our community. In order to make a product worthy of representing the Polkadot brand, we plan to actively work together with the community in building the best product possible. Besides building, we plan to actively interact with different ecosystem bounties, projects and teams to help them use our open-source PlutoLayout solution for the benefit of the Polkadot ecosystem as a whole. As such this proposal aims to help us establish ourselves as reputable and trustworthy partners for the Polkadot DAO to help build user-centric solutions for anyone to use and benefit from.

One of the reasons why we love Polkadot is its strong focus on decentralization. For us decentralization was one of the key principles why we built PlutoWallet the way we did. In web3, wallets are considered to be critical infrastructure, which is why it is imperative to have multiple wallets built using different code-bases to maintain a high level of decentralization. By supporting our new C# wallet, you will help us increase the level of infrastructure decentralization.

If you have any questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
We are looking forward to your feedback. ^-^

I believe we really should ask ourselves if we need to have another wallet fully funded by the Polkadot treasury. Looking at the Android store the app so far has 100+ downloads which isn't much. The UI-design really does not meet standards and is unable to match others such as Novawallet or Talisman.

Your rates seem fair for the amount of work, but I do not see how spending $24.000 for NFT-support for an app with just a handful of downloads will result in a worthy return on investment. Furthermore, there are already plently of other options out there.

We would like to publicly support PlutoWallet's referendum with our rationale.
We believe that there are three the core areas on Polkadot require attention and improvements. The wallet ecosystem, the DeFi ecosystem and the explorer ecosystem. This will address the 1st area.

Comparatively with other ecosystems, the Polkadot wallet ecosystem still needs to mature. On other chains, wallets have different UIs and experiences which is also one of the ways of on-boarding users, by giving them flexibility on what to pick for their daily on-chain experience. On this regard we agree heavily with Rosta that teams and devs should be free to innovate into different directions, specially with one that users and developers will have to use on a day to day basis.

Them being PBA alumni is also a big plus as they are high quality talent and more often than not, are poached by other ecosystems for very good reasons.

For this reason. We will support this referendum and continuations of this referendum.

Hey, thank you for the proposal. I personally think that we don't need another wallet being paid by the treasury. The situation would maybe be different if you come back with X amount of active users, but right now I think we don't need it.

IMO this proposal would be much more useful for the ecosystem if you work together with the already existing wallets in the ecosystem.

Generally we want people like you in the ecosystem, but you should work on something which has a bigger impact. Right now we don't have any proper list of good tasks, but we are working on it. If you are interested, we can have a chat on what could be something that is better suited and brings more impact for the ecosystem.
