# In a Nutshell: Web 2 Developer's Journey to Web 3 – The Average Dev

**Auth**: Normally use Auth.js vs the Fundation core for authentication. Includes wallet, passkey, and magic link support, which can be added or removed based on project needs.

**API**: Normally use Fetch or libraries like TanStack Query vs the Fundation core, which handles chain connection and light client using Polkadot API.

**Component**: Normally use ShadUI or build custom components. The Foundation core includes an authentication page, profile/settings components, asset components, and a customizable chain selector.

**Docs**: Designed to be simple and easy to understand, for Web2 developers.

**Future Module**: The DeFi module would include components used in every DeFi dApp, such as swap, pools, launchpad, and liquid staking. The NFT module would cover everything needed to build an NFT project. Because these pieces can work independently or with other components—maybe you need the swap function for your NFT project but not the others—just add that.

By integrating these tools, you not only make it easier for Web 2 developers to transition to Polkadot but also save significant development time, allowing focus on features that make their dApp unique.

## Executive Summary

Fundation is a groundbreaking framework designed by Swen, The core vision is to empower developers to build scalable, secure, and user-friendly web3 applications faster than ever before. By addressing the gaps in web3 tooling compared to web2, Fundation acts as "rocket fuel" for dApp creation, enabling seamless integration with Polkadot and Substrate. This master plan outlines the strategic roadmap, key features, development milestones, marketing approach, funding requirements, team structure, and risk management to bring Fundation from concept to widespread adoption.

## Vision and Mission

- **Vision**: To democratize web3 development on Polkadot, making it as accessible and efficient as web2 frameworks, while fostering innovation in DeFi, NFTs, and community-driven applications.

- **Mission**: Provide developers with a modular, secure, and expandable toolkit that reduces boilerplate code, enhances security, and supports rapid scaling, ultimately boosting user adoption and ecosystem growth.

## Problem Statement

Web3 development, particularly on Polkadot and Substrate, lags behind web2 in terms of available tools and ease of use. Developers face challenges such as:

- Complex authentication setups that deter user onboarding.

- Tedious chain integrations requiring extensive boilerplate.

- Rigid architectures that hinder modularity and scalability.

- High barriers for new entrants, leading to slower innovation and lower retention rates for dApps.

Fundation solves these by offering a comprehensive, developer-friendly framework tailored to the Polkadot ecosystem.

## Solution: Fundation Framework

Fundation is a full-stack framework that streamlines dApp development. It emphasizes flexibility, security, and performance, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. Built on Polkadot-API and Substrate, it supports real-time interactions and massive scalability.

### Key Features

1. **Flexible and Secure Authentication Layer**

- **Core Capabilities**: Multi-auth system including session-based logins, magic email links (passwordless), WebAuthn (biometrics/hardware keys), social logins (Google, X/Twitter), and WalletConnect for wallet integration.

- **Benefits**: Enhances trust and user retention by providing effortless, secure onboarding. Caters to both web2 newcomers and web3 experts with tailored experiences.

2. **Seamless Integration with Polkadot-API**

- **Core Capabilities**: Automated chain connections for precise, on-demand interactions without manual setup.

- **Benefits**: Delivers lightning-fast, reliable performance ideal for dApps, eliminating boilerplate and reducing development time.

3. **Modular Design for Ultimate Flexibility**

- **Core Capabilities**: Plug-and-play modules for DeFi, NFTs, and community features. Easy swapping or addition of custom modules.

- **Benefits**: Maintains a clean, adaptable codebase, allowing developers to customize without rebuilding from scratch.

4. **Endlessly Expandable Architecture**

- **Core Capabilities**: Supports horizontal and vertical scaling, seamless integration of parachains, DeFi tools, and NFT functionalities.

- **Benefits**: Handles growth from prototype to production, accommodating increasing complexity and user loads in the evolving Polkadot ecosystem.

## Development Roadmap

The roadmap is divided into phases, with "Lvl One: Let the Fun Begin" as the initial milestone focusing on core framework establishment. Estimated timeline assumes a 1-4 month rollout

- Develop and test the authentication layer (multi-auth integrations).

- Integrate Polkadot-API for fast chain manager.

- Build initial modular components (profile, login , assets).

- Deliverables: MVP framework with documentation and basic examples.

- Metrics: Successful internal testing; alpha release to select developers.

## Marketing and Adoption Strategy

- **Target Audience**: Polkadot/Substrate developers, web3 startups, DeFi/NFT projects, and web2 devs transitioning to blockchain.

- **Channels**:

- Social Media: Promote on X (Twitter), Reddit, and Discord with demos and tutorials.

- Content: Blog posts, YouTube videos, and case studies showcasing "before/after" development speed.

- **Metrics**: Aim for 100+ GitHub stars in first year; 10+ partnerships.

## Funding and Budget

initial funding request: 15.00K USDC - 7.65K DOT (or equivalent, subject to market rates).

## Funding and Budget

| Category | Percentage | Description | Amount in USDT | Amount in DOT |

|--------------|------------|------------------------------|----------------|---------------|

| Development | 75% | "Development, Tools, and servers",| 11,250 USDT | 7,650 DOT* |

| Marketing | 15% | tutorials, Social Media | 2,250 USDT | |

| Operations | 5% | Legal, audits | 750 USDT | |

| Contingency | 5% | Unexpected costs | 750 USDT | |

| **Total** | **100%** | | **15,000 USDT**| **7,650 DOT**

- **Funding Sources**: Polkadot Treasury grants, VC investments, community crowdfunding via DOT/KSM.

## Team

- **Core Team**:

- Swen: Founder and Lead Developer – Expertise in Polkadot trenches, framework architecture.

## Risks and Mitigation

- **Risk**: Low initial adoption due to competition (e.g., other Substrate tools).

- **Mitigation**: Differentiate with unique auth and modularity; offer incentives like free audits.

- **Risk**: Security vulnerabilities in auth layer.

- **Mitigation**: Conduct third-party audits; implement bug bounty program.

- **Risk**: Polkadot ecosystem changes (e.g., upgrades).

- **Mitigation**: Design for flexibility; active participation in Substrate updates.

Saxemberg has ABSTAINED on the Polkadot referendum 1716 Fundation Rapid dApp Creation Lvl One: Let the Fun Begin. Scaffolds and tooling are some of the things developers require. Unfortunately, this ref didn't pass the approval threshold.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Small Spender track requires 50% participation and simple majority of non-abstain votes according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received zero aye and four nay votes from eight available members. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The voters expressed concerns about the proposal’s lack of detail and clarity, noting that it failed to provide sufficient information about the proposer, a concrete roadmap, or even a basic working prototype. They observed that while the idea of a tool to simplify dApp creation held potential, the submission did not adhere to a standard proposal template and omitted key aspects needed to assess its feasibility. The submissions were deemed vague in presentation and delivery, with critics suggesting that more comprehensive details and evidence of prior experience should have accompanied the request for funding.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.
