Hey Builders!
<h3 id="fullproposalhttpsdocsgooglecomdocumentd1xn87r0vwub4i3txxxwzwailrkwv6tsknzyculg5maedituspsharing"><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xn87R0VWuB4i3Txxxw-zwaILrk-WV6TSKnZycuLG5MA/edit?usp=sharing">Full Proposal</a></h3>
This proposal represents a strategic opportunity to collaborate with Astar Network, AlephZero, and Phala Network on ink! tooling.
We are excited to submit our proposal to the Polkadot Treasury for the development of Swanky, a comprehensive developer tooling solution designed to facilitate and streamline ink! (Rust) smart contract development within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. Drink! aims to provide support for ink! developers. It comes in two parts: 1. Drink library, which provides a minimal Substrate runtime allowing for ink! contracts development, together with a facade interface for interacting with it. 2. drink-cli command line tool, which puts Drink behind a friendly TUI. Our goal is to attract new developers to this space by simplifying the process of starting and managing projects.
This proposal aims to claim funding from the Polkadot Treasury for work on the Swanky Suite tool, Drink! Tool, ink! examples, and educational content in the period from September 2023 to February 2024.
To ensure transparency and accountability, we propose a task-based approach to funding. Our roadmap clearly outlines each stage of ink!Hub's development, with defined objectives and deliverables. Funding will be released upon the successful completion of each task (and after review and approval through Multisig), demonstrating tangible progress and value to the Polkadot community.
We value your feedback on the roadmap, which we've already shared with the Astar community on the:

Hey Builders!

The Astar team would like to initiate a public discussion regarding the future of the SwankyHub!

Over the past year, our dedicated team has diligently worked on the Swanky project, making significant strides in its development. We have successfully designed and implemented various essential features during this time, enabling a more user-friendly and efficient environment for ink! (Rust) smart contract development within the Polkadot ecosystem. But it’s time to make it not just "developed by the Astar team", but also to be a community-led project! The roadmap should be decided by the people who use it frequently! This is why we decided to collaborate with other ink! pioneers to take the first steps in this direction and create a joint roadmap for development over the next 6 months.

**To ensure transparency and accountability, we propose a task-based approach to funding. Our roadmap clearly outlines each stage of SwankyHub's development, with defined objectives and deliverables. Funding will be released upon the successful completion of each task, demonstrating tangible progress and value to the Polkadot community.**

We are honored to have the support of notable projects such as Aleph Zero and Phala Network for our SwankyHub proposal. The backing of these respected organizations strengthens our proposal and highlights the value and potential impact of Swanky within the Polkadot ecosystem.
