- Problem Statement: The Polkadot network lacks sufficient development and adoption of WebAssembly (Wasm) smart contracts on its parachains. The intended audience is the Polkadot community, including developers and users.
- Significance: The underdevelopment and underutilization of Wasm smart contracts limit the potential of Polkadot's parachains, hindering the network's overall growth and functionality.
- Proposed Solution: The proposal suggests a bounty program to encourage the creation of audited Ink!/Ask! smart contract showcases, an incubation program, and a React Hooks library called “UseInk”. The proposal is submitted as an external motion, requiring council approval and a community vote for final decision.
- Expected Outcomes: The successful implementation of this proposal will lead to increased development and adoption of Wasm smart contracts on Polkadot parachains, enhancing the network's functionality and growth.
