Move smart contract pallet maintenance

[aric0x02]

Project Abstract

Move smart contract pallet RFPs.

This Project based in Pontem MVM pallet.Pontem sp-move-vm.
In order to implement Move smart contract Pallet.
We will migrate api,table extension,u256 functions from aptos into it.

Grant level

• Level 1: Up to $10,000, 2 approvals
• Level 2: Up to $30,000, 3 approvals
• Level 3: Unlimited, 5 approvals (for >$100k: Web3 Foundation Council approval)

Application Checklist

• The application template has been copied and aptly renamed (project_name.md).
• I have read the application guidelines.
• Payment details have been provided (bank details via email or BTC, Ethereum (USDC/DAI) or Polkadot/Kusama (USDT) address in the application).
• The software delivered for this grant will be released under an open-source license specified in the application.

Thanks for the application @aric0x02 I will mark it as ready for review and ping the committee. I have also pinged my colleague who wrote the RFP; he will be back next week.

[aric0x02]

Thanks for your review.

Thanks a lot for the application. It would be interesting to learn more about your long-term plans for this project. Do you plan to deploy it as a parachain? Also, given that you already have very concrete deliveries, it might make more sense to leverage the regular grant application template for this project: https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/blob/master/applications/application-template.md. Finally could clean up the application a little bit. For example, feel free to remove the unnecessary text or the link https://github.com/aric0x02

[aric0x02]

Thanks for your review.Yes .We plan to deploy it as a parachain after the development version is stable.
We will update the application asap.

[keeganquigley]

Thanks @aric0x02 looks good except for the total amount. Each milestone is asking for 10k, making the total 20k. Can you fix this to specify what you are asking for? Thanks!

[aric0x02]

Thanks for your review. Fixed it.

[Noc2]

Thanks for the update here. Could you provide a little bit more information regarding your long-term motivation and your future goals with the project? Feel free to also integrate this into the application itself. Currently besides your Github profiles there is almost none information about you and your project available, which is a little bit strange especially if you are aiming for a parachain slot.

[Noc2]

I wanted to let you know that I'm closing this because of inactivity. Let me know if I should reopen it.

[aric0x02]

Sorry for the long late reply. We updated the application.

[Noc2]

You currently can not open the application since the PR is closed. Should we reopen the PR or do you want to create a new application?

[aric0x02]

You help us reopen the PR.Thanks a lot.

[Noc2]

@aric0x02 I reopened it. Feel free to update the application.

[aric0x02]

Thanks.I updated the application.

[keeganquigley]

Thanks @aric0x02 I will mark the application as ready for review and ping the rest of the committee.

[aric0x02]

Thanks for your review.

[Noc2]

Thanks for the update, but could you clarify your long-term goals with this project in a little bit more detail? You previously said that you are aiming for a parachain, but now you say you just want to maintain it "like openzeppelin". How do you plan to fund this work also what changed since your last reply?

[aric0x02]

We will achieve three main things:

1. We will improve and enhance the functions of the existing move smart contract pallet and sp-move-vm.Such as add table in milestone1 and ,add U256 in milestone2 of the application.We will add other native funciton in it to support to move smart contract development on move smart contract node on substrate.
   Deploying it as a parachain in the Rococo testnet is a step required for a certain stage of testing.
   Usually testing smart contracts or applications is mainly based on local move smart contract development node.
2. We will implement Move smart contract development example.
   It will implement common token standards, examples of move contracts such as DEFI, DAO, and governance, as well as the underlying support of contract modules that implement the basic storage structure required for them. we will extract common function as a library like openzeppelin.
3. We will implement Move vscode IDE Plugin/Move playground.Committed to implement a simple, convenient editing, compiling, deploying, testing and development move smart contract environment.It will support deploying move smart contracts to the move smart contract node on substate.

I previously said that "We plan to deploy it as a parachain after the development version is stable." means
that when the Move smart contract example and the underlying built-in functions of sp-move-vm are relatively complete compared to aptos. We will deploy it as a parachain to the rococo testnet. It is the deliverable or result of a milestone in a certain phase. It can also be said to be an aim.

Each of our milestones is realized from the front-end web application, SDK, move smart contract pallet, virtual machine. Complete logic implementation.
we will focus on fully demonstrating the move smart contract pallet functionality and usage examples.

[Noc2]

Thanks for the reply. But again, what are your long-term plans with this? Given that we supported a team in the past that gave up and recently supported this team #1823, I'm personally unwilling to support another team unless there is a good reason for it and a clear roadmap.

[aric0x02]

I see.I will close the application.Thanks
