+## Abstract

+## Team

+
+## Experience with Algorand
+- Author of a GPU-based vanity address generator for Algorand
+- Build-A-Bull hackathon top 5 finalist in the gaming track
+- go-algorand contributor
+
+## Present Proposal
+- The extension provides the following features:
+
+  - code completion
+  - signature help
+  - hover info
+  - go to definition
+  - go to symbol
+  - document outline
+  - syntax highlighting
+  - rename symbol
+  - syntax validation features
+
+- It comes with a Language Server Protocol server for TEAL that can be potentially used with other LSP-compatible editors.
+- The extension will be publicly available from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. Once installed, it's ready to use with no extra configuration.
+- Licence: compatible with https://github.com/algorand/go-algorand
+- Includes best-effort maintenance for at least 3 months from the date of the first release
+- Delivery date: up to 3 months after receiving a confirmation that the xGov funding for the proposal has been secured
+
+## Benefits for the community
+The extension will make it easier for developers to write TEAL code by providing a set of features that are common in the modern editors.
+
+## Additional information
+The extension has been successfully used to write over 60KB TEAL smart contracts code for the Build-A-Bull hackathon.
