The MAGIC Monero Fund is currently seeking to raise $28,800 to fund vtnerd's (Lee Clagett) development work during Q1/Q2 2024. vtnerd is the author of Monero Light Wallet Server (monero-lws), and has been a contributor to the Monero codebase since 2016. He is a veteran of four CCS proposals.

This proposal funds 480 hours of work, ~3 months. The milestones will be hour based; 160 (1 month), 320 (2 months), 480 (3 months).

Some features that are being targeted in monero:

• Get new serialization routine merged (work on piecemeal PRs for reviewers sake) (already in-progress)
• Complete work necessary to merge DANE/TLSA in wallet2/epee.
• Adding trust-on-first-use support to wallet2

Work targeted towards monero-lws:

• Optional full chain verification for malicious daemon attack (already-in progress)
• Webhooks/ZMQ-PUB support for tx sending (watch for unexpected sends)
• ZMQ-pub support for incoming transactions and blocks (notifies of any new transaction or block)
• Implement "horizontal" scaling of account scanning (transfer account info via zmq to another process for scanning)
• Make account creation more "enterprise grade" (currently scanning engine re-starts on every new account creation, and uses non-cacheable memory) * Unit tests for REST-API
• Provide official LWS docker-image
• Provide official snap/flatpak/appimge (tbd one or all of those)
• Provide pre-built binaries
• (Unlikely) - reproducible builds so community members can verify+sign the binary hashes
• It is unlikely that all features will be implemented, at which point the unfinished features will roll into the next quarter.
