Blobscan Project Roadmap

Roadmap Proposal #1

Target Date: End of March.
Description: Release all core features and functionality, allowing users to search blob transaction data on the latest devnet version.
Deliverables:
- Blob indexer:
  - Set up infrastructure for the incoming 4844 devnet v4.
  - Migrate to a Rust implementation.
- Web app:
  - New identity and UI designs implementation.
  - Block, transaction, and blob views.
  - Search and filtering functionality (e.g., search by datahash, KZG commitment, transaction, etc.).
- Database layer:
  - Schema and data models design and implementation.
Amount: USD 30,000

Target Date: End of April.
Description: We will add new functionalities, work on the specification of the REST API, and do outreach rollup projects for feature requests.
Deliverables:
- Blob indexer:
  - Changes to make the software more robust and flexible.
- Web app:
  - Start with the blob-focused charts and metrics dashboard.
  - Implement responsive design for medium and smaller devices.
  - Optimize views.
- REST API:
  - Write the specification.
- Rollup projects outreach (Scroll, Optimism, Aztec, and Arbitrum):
  - Prepare first contact meetings.
  - User requirement capture study.
- Data provider:
  - Integrate Swarm as data provider for blobs
Amount: USD 30,000

Target Date: End of May.
Description: Implement REST API, finish the metrics dashboard, ramping up on testing and documentation.
Deliverables:
- Web app:
  - Continue with charts and metrics dashboard, including:
    - Blob usage over time.
    - Gas expenditure comparison of blob vs. legacy transactions.
  - Implement tagging feature to detect which L2 rollup generates the blob transaction.
  - Integration tests.
- REST API:
  - Spec implementation.
  - Test plan and test case creation.
- Documentation:
  - Create a docs site with a static site generator.
  - Web app features, user and developer FAQs sections.
  - API getting started and endpoints section.
- Testing:
  - Integration tests between database, web app, and API.
Amount: USD 20,000

Target Date: End of June.
Description: We will finalize the blob indexer and make it available through a docker container. Furthermore, we will add the final touches to the overall documentation and provide the last API feature.
Deliverables:
- Blob indexer:
  - Docker containerization.
  - Integrate to the eip44-interop repo.
- REST API:
  - Verification tooling:
    - KZG commitments verification and versioned hash conversion.
    - Blob sidecar verification.
- Database layer:
  - Performance optimizations: indexing, partitioning, and query improvements.
- Documentation:
  - Web app features sections.
  - API endpoints sections.
Amount: USD 20,000
