This proposal funds a well‑defined 12‑month maintenance and enhancement program, organised into quarterly cycles that prioritise critical breakages, protocol‑era and hard‑fork compatibility, bug fixes and optimisations, and developer‑experience improvements such as documentation and examples.\n\nMLabs has an established track record with these tools and has identified at least 26 teams actively building on them, which means this request supports existing ecosystem dependencies rather than speculative new tooling. The budget is modest for a year of core SDK maintenance, and delivery is tied to observable outputs — maintenance releases, compatibility updates, resolved issues and PRs, benchmarks, documentation, and quarterly review reports — which aligns well with a disciplined, open‑source‑focused treasury stance."}}
