Thanks for the application. I was actually planning to write an rfp for something like this. Could you update the deliveries according to our template and also add the default deliveries (0a-0d)?: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/applications/application-template.md#milestone-1-example--implement-substrate-modules

[hanwencheng]

Hi, @Noc2, deliveries are updated.

[Noc2]

Looks good to me and I will share it with the rest of the team. Feel free to also integrate the psp process https://github.com/w3f/PSPs at some point.

Great, that'll definitely be useful. Just out of curiosity, which dApp teams are you planning to contact in your research phase, do you already have an idea?

[hanwencheng]

@mmagician Hi, we have potential partners like PolkaSign, but it is not confirmed yet.

[mmagician]

Ok, just make sure you include written summary of your research findings in the delivery please.

Congratulations and welcome to the Web3 Foundation Grants Program! Please refer to our Milestone Delivery repository for instructions on how to submit milestones and invoices, our FAQ for frequently asked questions and the support section of our README for more ways to find answers to your questions.

Before you start, take a moment to read through our announcement guidelines for all communications related to the grant or make them known to the right person in your organisation. In particular, please don't announce the grant publicly before at least the first milestone of your project has been approved. At that point or shortly before, you can get in touch with us at grantsPR@web3.foundation and we'll be happy to collaborate on an announcement about the work you’re doing.

Lastly, please remember to let us know in case you run into any delays or deviate from the deliverables in your application. You can either leave a comment here or directly request to amend your application via PR. We wish you luck with your project! 🚀

[hanwencheng]

Thank you all for reviewing the PR and the suggestion.

We would also appreciate it if you could intro the PolkaSignIn to developer-focused platforms like DevPost or the platform Web3 Foundation used before like Crowdcast.

Hi @hanwencheng
There doesn't seem to have been any activity on this recently. What's the current state here? Is there any way we can support you?

[hanwencheng]

Thanks for asking @takahser , After submitting the proposal, the project is paused for 1 and a half months. Now we are onboarding a new engineer to work on the topic.

[takahser]

Thanks for the update @hanwencheng
Can you give me an estimate on when you plan to deliver?

[hanwencheng]

it is already started, I am pretty confident that we can deliver in one month.

[takahser]

Sounds good. Looking forward to it! @hanwencheng

[hanwencheng]

@takahser The authorization library is complete in the repo, now we are under internal test, and are integrating the data part(OIDC). There are several issues related to the future of the project, feel free to join the discussion.

[takahser]

@hanwencheng happy to see you're making progress! Can you provide me with a rough estimate on when you'll have the issues resolved i.e. when you'll be able to deliver milestone 1?

[hanwencheng]

The issues are not related to the milestone, there is only the data part remaining unresolved, rough estimate of the data part is by the end of this week.

[takahser]

@hanwencheng that sounds good to me, thanks for the update

[hanwencheng]

We have finished the tasks up to 1c.

Also, we created a demo for 1d, it would be good that web3 foundation could make some introduction to other platforms, so that we could integrate the PolkaSignIn with some real use cases, for example: Crowdcast.

That’s great. Not sure if we have someone in contact with crowdcast, but I will try to see what I can do and share it also with the ecosystem development team.

Hey @hanwencheng. I see there is plenty of activity on the litentry repositories. Can you give an estimate of when you might be submitting your milestone?

[hanwencheng]

We haven't find a partner to use the login solution yet, this would be the final step.

[semuelle]

I remember the conversation now. In that case, let's revisit the milestone in a couple of weeks. If push comes to shove, we can remove the deliverables around the use case and move on.

[alxs]

Hey @hanwencheng, are you still interested in this? If you still want to deliver and haven't found a partner yet, could you please submit an amendment as Sebastian mentioned and update the deliverables, as well as the timeline?

[alxs]

@hanwencheng friendly reminder. Note that if we don't hear from you within the next two weeks, we'll assume you're no longer interested and terminate the grant.
