# Blobscan Project Roadmap

## Roadmap Proposal #1

### Milestone #1: Alpha release

- **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

### Milestone #2: New features and rollups onboarding

- **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

### Milestone #3: REST API, testing and documentation

- **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

### Milestone #4: Database optimization and wrapping up

- **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](https://github.com/Inphi/eip4844-interop).
- 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
