Summary
This project is a browser-based cryptocurrency wallet built on Aztec Wallet Wheez(i), developed during the AlphaBuild 1 hackathon. It features a backend for 2FA and data storage, along with sustainable code for various smart contract account options. The wallet offers diverse account creation methods, comprehensive token and note management, DApp integration, and advanced features like paymasters and batch transactions. It prioritizes flexibility and ease of use with options to toggle between basic and advanced modes.
Estimated Start and End Date
October 10, 2024 - February 10th, 2024
About You
BootNode is a long-term, end-to-end engineering partner that helps speed up the delivery and growth of protocols, dApps, and networks. We collaborate with networks and protocols at an engineering level to help design, build, integrate, and test software.
The team will consist of:
- Blockchain/Noir engineer who has experience working with Noir for 1+ years.
- Blockchain/Noir engineer who has participated in AlphaBuild 1 hackathon and written a game on Aztec to test out dev experience.
- Blockchain / Solidity engineer who has 6+ years of experience to assist and review.
- Front-end engineer with 4+ years of experience in cohesive and fluent dApp development for Ethereum using React and Typescript.
- UX/UI designer and UI Developer who worked on the design and UX for Gnosis Bridge and Explorer.
- QA Engineer with proven experience in blockchain QA, providing faster identification of critical bugs and effectively reducing post-launch fixes and downtime (has experience testing 30+ dApps and interacting with 5+ different wallets).
- Project Manager with proven experience in blockchain projects.
The team’s experience includes:
-
Gnosis Bridge and Explorer: we designed and built:
- Unified Gnosis Bridge: A cross-chain UI/UX for bridging DAI and other tokens that uses xDAI and OmniBridge protocols under the hood. The Unified Bridges UI automatically detects the contracts that fulfill the end user bridging needs, without requiring users to know about xDAI, Omnibridge, locked tokens, claims, validator signatures, and many more niche wording and intricacies that hinder the real use case: bridging funds into and out of Gnosis Chain.
- Gnosis Bridge Explorer: Displays transactions from both Gnosis native bridges (xDAI and OmniBridge) in a single explorer, shows validator status and signatures, bridge limits, and transactions’ status, and allows users to claim from a single UI which means a significant improvement in what we like to call “User anxiety pill” because users get to see the lifecycle of a bridging transaction before hitting Discord with a ticket.
-
zkSync Azure Wallet - we researched, designed, spec’d, and built a multi-sig wallet MVP for enterprises, fully leveraging Account Abstraction. It only requires a user’s web2 credentials (i.e., Microsoft Azure, Google, etc.).
Part of the team has been working with Safe on building out the first version of Gnosis Safe.
