The Cosmos ecosystem faces a constant challenge of discoverability and difficulty tracking the compatibility of SDK modules, which impedes the efficiency and speed of development for new Cosmos SDK chains. To address this, AADAO has awarded an $80,000 grant to Cosmod.
This grant is to create a comprehensive registry that centralizes information and documentation for Cosmos SDK modules, making them easily discoverable for developers and ensuring compatibility through a detailed matrix.
The set grant milestones include indexing Cosmos SDK-based chain modules from GitHub, displaying them on an intuitive website, and developing a marketing strategy. Additionally, the project aims to enhance the website with statistics, define best practices, develop a CLI for registry interaction, and launch a community newsletter.
The following steps involve completing the CLI development, launching the newsletter, and refining tools and practices for developers. The project also aims to revive the unmaintained atlas.cosmos.network, providing an up-to-date resource for developers.
This grant highlights the potential of structured documentation and tracking to significantly streamline and enhance the development process within the Cosmos ecosystem, underscoring the importance of having a centralized, well-maintained registry for SDK modules.
