I knew I wanted to work on/with bdk and ldk so I wrote up a proposal that outlined roughly a years worth of work and submitted it to Spiral. There was a little back-and-forth where they explained the process and expectations a little more clearly and could get a better understanding of what I wanted to work on.
They were pretty flexible as my plans did end up changing quite a lot compared to what I originally proposed. Initially my plan was to focus primarily on DLCs but building out a lightning node (sensei) with bdk+ldk ended up being the core of my work.
I hope that as companies realize how important bitcoin is for the world (and their company) that they will prioritize funding the ecosystem as a core part of their business as Block (and a few others) have.
Could you share a copy of your proposal?
OR resources you recommend for drafting one?
Sure, they shared it in the tweet thread when they announced the grant. The original document is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1--5Hh9zi2kKEZrvhAhWP_Ge9oUVPm00wcMQ40arYhoI/edit
Like I said though, my work has greatly deviated from the initial idea.
Thanks so much!
what was the process like to obtain your spiral grant?
how do we get more companies lining up to support bitcoin development?
