1- Output:
Contracts:
Currently deployed contracts on Testnet are ~3800 since the last network reset on 10th of December 2024, that is ~150 contracts per day.
If playground reaches 5% of this rate, we will consider this a success.
Users:
Onboarding 50 active users within the 3 first three months would be success, and scaling to 500 within the first year would be great as well.
2- Impact:
We want to tell builders that the Soroban VM is flexible and built in a way that an SDK can be made for virtually any language that compiles to WASM. That is the main message we want to convey.
Announcements on dev forums related to both EVMs and Soroban, inviting Solidity devs to try out the new Soroban via Solang Playground.
Our main audience wouldn't be Soroban developers, they would be EVM devs instead.
Solang Playrground is not yet launched to users. True traction cannot be measured without Solang compiler being user ready.
Although Solang<->Stellar integration is not yet launched, the introduction of Solang Playground is expected to make the onboarding of Solidity devs to Soroban a lot easier.
One of the chains that Solang compiles to, Polkadot, has funded the very early stages of the project: Integration of Solang language server to an in-browser editor, hosting Solang on a backend service and some basic UI improvements.
Description:
1- Enable compilation of Solidity Soroban smart contracts supported by Solang.
2- Enable the deployment and interaction of compiled Solidity contracts on the Soroban Testnet.
How to measure completion:
1- A Solidity developer/Tester should be able to compile Solidity contracts to the Soroban target with the help of language smarts from the Solang language server
2- A Solidity developer/Tester should be able to deploy and interact with compiled Solidity contracts on Soroban Testnet.
3- A wireframe for a revamped UI, to be implemented in Tranche 2.
Estimated date of completion:
~ 2 Quarters: 15th May ~ 15th June 2025
Budget:
$7000
Description:
Upon the completion of Tranche 1, Solang playground would virtually be ready for Testnet. However, in the second Tranche, we would focus on making the UI more attractive. We are putting Remix in mind when doing this.
How to measure completion:
1-By the end of Tranche 1, we would have a wireframe ready to be implemented in Tranche 2 therefore revamping the UI and making it more attractive.
2- We would implement the following features, which can be objectively tested:
Modern UI Redesign
- Sleek, minimalistic design with dark/light mode toggle.
- Responsive layouts for compatibility across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Smooth transitions and animations for improved UX.
Upgrade UI Framework
- Use modern frontend frameworks like React.js, Next.js, and TailwindCSS.
- Focus on seamless design and performance.
Enhanced Code Editor
- Auto-completion and IntelliSense-like suggestions.
- Multi-tab support for managing multiple files.
File Management System
- Drag-and-drop support for file uploads.
- Enable cloud integration for project storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox).
Estimated date of completion:
~0.5 Quarter - 15th of July 2025
Budget:
$3000
Description:
Mainnet readiness of Solang Playground directly depends on Mainnet readiness of Solang. There would be no extra work required to Solang Playground to support Mainnet launch.
How to measure completion:
N/A
Estimated date of completion:
Mainnet launch of Solang<->Stellar is expected to be April 2026, and Solang Playground launch date would be the same.
