This will be aimed at accelerating dApp development on the platform by providing more diverse building solutions for both developers and third parties, the announcement said.
The project will be divided into two phases, namely MVP 1 and MVP 2. The first phase will include the development of a module tool stack by blockchain software company Five Binaries. This will include the Blockfrost Blockchain connector, the initial release of the Chain Watcher, and a simple back-end that will serve as a proof of concept.
While the connector is a plug-in component that will be used to bridge Cardano blockchain data, the Chain Watcher will act as a core component for on-chain indexing. The simple back-end, on the other hand, will be designed to give developers a blueprint of sorts for project functionality until they build their own.
The second stage will be focused on community-driven development by associated projects and partners from the Cardano ecosystem, the Foundation added.
EMURGO CEO Ken Kodama in a statement said,
“With smart contract functionality now supported on Cardano, the new tool stack will provide developers with further
