Hey, thanks for the application! Have you tried taking a look at sol2ink transpiler (https://github.com/Brushfam/sol2ink) to optimize development time and cost?

[SotaWatanabe]

Thank you very much for your application. I want to support this proposal in general since lending dApps are one of the key scopes. The grant amount can be discussed with other curators.

[DoubleOTheven]

I approve. I'm excited to see this project

Wonderful application!

I have no objection to the product itself the only problem is audit budget. We're in talks with some auditor companies and there will be some possibilities to organize audits for the applicants of the Ecosystem Grants Program. My proposition is to remove the audit entirely from this application and later we either connect you with some auditor or you'll apply for another grant for the audit.

@Chidasan Hello!
Please take a look on Markian's and Michael's comments above, thank you 🙏

Could you remove the Audit part from your application?

[SotaWatanabe]

I approved this application. Very excited.

Thanks all for your valuable reviews! I've removed the audit entirely from the application. I would appreciate it if you could take another look! @mike1729 @0xMarkian

Hey @Chidasan, perhaps I missed your answer. Have you explored sol2ink? I am quite confident that the development time and consequently cost can be significantly reduced. Feel free to reach out to me for further clarifications - @OxMarkian on telegram

Hello @OxMarkian, thank you for your suggestion about sol2ink. While we appreciate your input, there are a few considerations we’d like to share:

1. Since it has been over a month since we wrote our proposal, most of the base development work has already been completed from scratch, meaning the potential to save on costs at this point is limited.
2. We have experimented with sol2ink in the past but encountered errors that prevented us from fully utilizing it. We are currently seeking detailed examples from our dev to help resolve these issues. Also I invited one of our dev to our private group to discuss the implementation of sol2ink to our protocol.
3. Taking into account the aforementioned factors, we believe that sol2ink might not be suitable for our basic functions. However, we are open to considering its use for future developments, like Flash loan features, which are likely to arise.

We hope this clears up our stance on the matter. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further queries or suggestions.

Hi @Chidasan, following up on our private conversation, I think Sol2Ink could be used to optimize your further work and reduce the manual work you must do (get the skeleton of the ink! contract can rapidly reduce the amount of manual work, all that will be left is make it build). Regarding the problems you had, we have updated the docs to guide users on unexpected events (such as yours) when using Sol2Ink.

Hey, I am going to approve this application.
Let me know how the development of M2 will go with regard to sol2ink. My DMs - are always open.

I'm delighted to share that we have just submitted our first milestone delivery (use-inkubator/Grant-Milestone-Delivery#2). You can review it at your convenience.

On another note, have you decided on the audit firm yet? Is there anything we need to do from Starlay's end regarding the audit?

Once again, thank you for having us on board.

As for the audit, we'll make sure to provide you with updates as they become available. Please note, however, that it's crucial for all deliveries to be accepted prior to the initiation of the audit.
