Please provide the following:
- A brief description of the project.
- An indication of why your team is interested in creating this project within the VeChain Ecosystem.
- If relevant, an indication of how you will integrate tools and features (e.g., Sync2/Connex, fee delegation protocols, MTT, etc) to enhance your project.
We expect the teams to already have a solid idea about the project's expected final state. Therefore, we ask the teams to submit (where relevant):
- Mockups/designs of any UI components
- API specifications of the core functionality
- An overview of the technology stack to be used
- Documentation of core components, protocols, architecture, etc. to be deployed
- PoC/MVP or other relevant prior work or research on the topic
Are there any other projects similar to yours? If so, how is your project different?
- Name of team leader
- Names of team members
- https://<your_domain>
Please describe the team's relevant experience. If the project involves development work, then we'd appreciated it if you can single out a few interesting codes commits made by team members on their past projects.

This section should break out the development roadmap into a number of milestones. Since the milestones will appear in the grant contract, it helps to describe the functionality we should expect, plus how we can check that such functionality exists in the product. Whenever milestones are delivered, we refer to the contract to ensure that everything has been delivered as expected.
Below we provide an example roadmap. For each milestone:
- Please indicate the milestone duration, workload in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE) and cost.
- Please be sure to include a specification of the software. The level of details must be high enough so that we are able to verify that the software meets the specification.
- Please note that we require documentation (e.g. tutorials, API specifications, architecture details) in each milestone. This ensures that the code can be widely used by the community.
- Please provide a test suite, comprising unit and integration tests, along with a guide on how to run these.
- Please commit to providing dockerfiles for the delivery of your project.
| Milestone 1 | Milestone 2 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated Duration | 30 d | 30 d | 60 d |
| Full-time equivalent (FTE) | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Cost (up to $ 30,000) | $ 5,000 | $ 10,000 | $ 15,000 |
| Number | Deliverable | Specification |

| 0b. | Documentation | We will provide both inline documentation of the code and a basic tutorial that can interact with the deployed smart contracts and backend service. |
| 0c. | Testing Guide | The code will have proper unit-test coverage (e.g. 90%) to ensure functionality and robustness. In the guide, we will describe how to run these tests |
| 1 | Smart Contracts | We will develop smart contracts that will... (Please list the functionality that will be coded for the contracts) |

As part of the Program, we require that you produce and publish at least one article/tutorial (e.g., on Medium). It should explain your work done as part of the grant.
Please include the team's long-term plans and intentions.
