Great thanks for submitting Norbert,

Let's say our workflow is much easier for the user. Opening a new window for connection is not ideal. Here are examples how we work and how it will work on NEO. For dev perspective:
|
We already support Sui, Solana, Polkadot and Aleph Zero and constantly growing. Examples:
That would be great, we even have tailored UI for liquid/normal stacking |
|
That looks good. I don't have doubts about the tech of the proposal. Need any app owners of the eco to join the conversation to know if they are interested in adding Nightly Connect. |

Abstract
As wallets are the first thing that users interact with on the blockchain, there is a strong need for sophisticated infrastructure to handle this matter. That’s why we built Nightly: not only a wallet (both extension and mobile version), but also a Wallet Standard and Nightly Connect.
The idea was to create an environment where developers can seamlessly integrate a growing list of wallets, and users have certainty that their wallet is supported by their favourite dApps. We also give them the opportunity to easily use their mobile devices for transaction confirmations, which significantly improves the security of the whole process.
This GrantShares proposal requests funding for the development of 4 applications on the NEO chain, designed to address all potential problems that may arise with blockchain wallets. The development timeline is set for 4 months and will be conducted by an experienced team of 5 developers.
Proposal Information
Description
We propose you to build four different applications:
NEO Wallet Standard
This will be NEO’s response on Wallet Connect. An open-source, permissionless solution that serves as a wallet adapter. We will build an interface and injection model. After its implementation, wallets will automatically inject themselves into any application using Nightly Connect. Furthermore, this standard will enforce more consistent code across wallets. The API will be deterministic, and every contributor to the standard will be able to influence how it will look.
Nightly Extension Wallet
Our extension wallet works on each leading browser. Apart from the obvious features, we offer swaps, staking, and liquid staking. During the ongoing refactoring process, we are redesigning our wallet to be even more user-friendly and accessible to new users. For example, by adding a tab that aggregates all the most important applications from a given chain, by incorporating more interactive elements, or by providing the option to create an account via Apple or Google accounts.
Nightly Mobile Wallet
Mobile wallet available on both iOS and Android. It has all the same options as in the extension. Thanks to the integration with Nightly Connect, it has the option to establish a connection with any dApp on any device, whether through deep links or QR code scanning.
Nightly Connect
Our Connect is an open-source, permissionless solution that serves as a bridge wallet - a tool to establish a connection through scanning QR codes or deep links on mobile.
Motivation
Neo is one of the most popular smart contract platforms, yet it still lacks core infrastructure elements like wallet standardization and robust mobile/remote support. (Ethereum recently addressed this with https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6963). This then translates to difficulty in creating new decentralized applications and a lack of mobile-friendly apps.
The wallet standard proposed by us solves the problem of standardization and, in combination with the Nightly ecosystem, will provide the best in class UX/DX. Created by us, templates will become the backbone of new applications and drastically speed up project creation and maintenance.
The project aims to attract more transactions and increase the number of NEO holders worldwide. It has already gained significant traction, with over 30,000 users on the Chrome Store and more than 32,000 followers on Twitter.
Goals
While exploring the NEO ecosystem, We noticed three problems:
The scarcity of all-in-one wallets in the NEO ecosystem means that users have limited options when choosing a wallet. Furthermore, there is no satisfactory solution for NEO users who also hold AlephZero, Solana, or Sui. Another issue is the absence of an all-in-one mobile and extension wallet that enables users to browse NFTs, stake, and swap assets, forcing them to use at least two different applications and adapt to varying user interfaces.
This is a problem for both wallet developers and dApp builders. Wallets without integrations with dApps cannot experience growth. For dApps, this theoretically simple process becomes problematic due to conflicts between wallets or issues with configurations that negatively impact the simplicity and speed of these integrations, making it impractical.
Mobile is the future, but NEO is not prepared for it yet.
Establishing a connection on mobile is challenging for NEO, even though it is one of the most basic mobile operations. There are no tools to handle this process.
Every potential NEO mobile app will need to do it in the same way, which unnecessarily raises the entry barrier for such applications.
Solutions
The first problem can be easily resolved by introducing a new wallet to the chain, which offers both an extension and a mobile version with a user-friendly interface, as well as easy access to basic user needs like NFTs, swapping, or staking.
Creating a NEO Wallet Standard and implementing Nightly Connect will solve the remaining two problems through the following solutions:
NEO Wallet Standard aggregates every wallet that complies with the wallet standard in a fully automated and permissionless way, without any required action from the dApp's side.
The NEO Wallet Standard will enhance the standardization and cohesion of wallet architectures. This will simplify and expedite the maintenance and further development for everyone in the NEO ecosystem.
Nightly Connect will handle every form of connection, whether through deep links or QR codes, and then help you manage additional features like push notifications or enhanced sessions, thus improving the overall mobile user experience. This tool will be open and tailored for every kind of app or wallet, allowing mobile builders to focus on developing more critical aspects of their applications.
Deliverables & Roadmap
Specify deliverables in detail, including the following info for each:
4 months54000 NEOAs we plan to develop 4 standalone solutions, we decided to split them to separate milestones. Overall timelines for specific components are:
In the first month, our goal is to create the NEO Wallet Standard: a universal wallet adapter that will benefit everyone on the chain and this is why we will begin with this tool. We can divide this section into several key points:
In the next phase, we will develop NEO's version of our multichain wallets. The desktop version of the Nightly Wallet will be available as an extension for all major browsers, while the mobile app will be simultaneously released for both iOS and Android. Owing to its complexity, this milestone is expected to take approximately two months to complete. The objectives for this milestone are as follows:
The last major milestone is Nightly Connect. This open-source and permissionless tool is a safe gateway between desktop and mobile device via QR codes or deep links. Developing include modal for dApps in form of ready to implement package but also template apps similar to this (https://solana-web3-template.nightly.app/). This milestone is estimated to take approximately one month and include:
Deliverables Verifiability
To prove complementation of certain milestones, we propose:
1.1 Creation of coherent interface for NEO dApps
1.2 Autodetection SDK of wallets for dApps
1.3 Injecting SDK for wallets
1.4 Example and template for both SDK’s
2.1 Working both mobile and extension versions of apps supporting multi accounts.
2.2 Ability to approve transactions on chains.
2.3 Support for NFTs.
2.4 In-wallet transactions (swap/staking/liquid staking)
3.1 Ready to use SDK for wallets and dApps to connect
3.2 Autodetection of wallets
3.3 Relay server
3.4 Templates with nightly connect implementation
Budget Plan
We calculated our cost to deploy all four applications on NEO for about 4000 NEO tokens. This amount is calculated based on our previous projects and market standards.The largest portion is earmarked for development costs, which includes salaries for the team, expenses for necessary software, and any required hardware. This allocation is crucial as it directly impacts the quality and efficiency of the application development process. Based on our timeline estimation, it will cost 3600 NEO (800 working hours at $45 USD each) to complete all milestones.
In addition to development costs, a significant part of the budget is dedicated to marketing efforts. This is essential to ensure that once the applications are ready, they reach the target audience effectively through various promotional strategies like digital marketing and advertisements. Based on previous experience with setting up a marketing campaign for a new chain, we estimate the cost at 400 NEO to create a long-term marketing strategy including an ads budget, prizes, etc.
