> **IMPORTANT UPDATE, PLEASE READ**: [Realistic Expectations](https://hackmd.io/@finsig/Skba10B53)

> EXTRA: [Referendum #70 in twelve tweets! ](https://twitter.com/finsigIO/status/1678761357758406656?s=20) (Twitter thread)

> DEVELOPERS: Please checkout my [Tech Talk Polkadot Forum post](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/rust-typescript-swift-and-kotlin-codegen-and-front-end-sdk/3435/1) about codegen and the Finsig SDK.

**Context**

Swift language developers provide access to new Web3 powered use cases on Apple iPhone, iPad, Watch, Mac, TV, and Vision devices.

**Problem**

Existing mobile apps tend to be multi-platform and wallet use case focused, requiring new developers to pick apart code to get started building.

**Solution**

A comprehensive, best practice standards based, Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Apple device platform.

**Objectives**

1 Lower the barrier to entry for ecosystem collaborators with Apple product use cases.

2 Advocate for native tools in addition to cross platform framework based tools.

3 Facilitate the adoption of Web3 technologies by everyday people.

**Deliverables**

Reusable open-source software tools and components, tailored documentation, a publicly accessible beta app, and a target audience focused newsletter.

**Team Credentials**

The solo developer behind Finsig LLC has a background in enterprise IT solution development and has published a portfolio of apps with [several million unit installs on the App Store](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNmH3byV2gAFGrkXmqqKHoDkf19aU8ociRCFB6EM4T5Ej?filename=app_store_units_2008_2016.pdf).

**Funding**

Requested DOT Amount: 12,117 DOT (~$62,400 USD based on [Subscan 2023-07-09 EMA7 DOT price](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price))

**Timeline**

Deliverables are to be completed within six months of funding date.

>
>**TLDR**
>
> Second to gatekeeping, a core problem of Web3 technology adoption in the mobile space is a lack of resources targeting native tools preferred by two-thirds of developers.
>
> The Finsig SDK focuses on native tooling to enable future sovereign light-client based app experiences on Apple devices.
>
> 131,208 lines of code, across 971 files, have been written to assess the feasibility of the proposed solution.
>
> The funding request conditions are results-focused and promote accountability.
