Cointelegraph reports that the Solana Foundation has announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the X platform, aiming to drive the development of open-source data tools for Solana. This initiative will provide developers with funding support of up to $160,000 to enhance the developer experience and data tool capabilities of the Solana blockchain. The proposals are divided into two categories: one totaling $100,000 for Solana indexer tool proposals, focusing on building end-to-end open-source infrastructure solutions to enable real-time and historical data access for developers, and better access to Solana programs and accounts; and another totaling $60,000 for the Solana Signer Catalog proposal, targeting the creation of an open-source signer database to help developers interact with unknown deployed contracts and parse instructions. The implementation of these proposals is expected to significantly boost the ecosystem of the Solana blockchain, providing developers with more powerful and efficient toolkits. The deadline for submissions is set for October 4, 2024.
