@hackerhouse.near [Posted on Developer DAO Board](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=425) ## Idea: BOS Gateways Development Sprint #1 (Planning / CTA) `This post is meant to help coordinate development and proliferation of gateways (front end viewers) on the Blockchain Operating System.` ### 🎯 **Objectives** The main goal is to lead to the proliferation of BOS Gateways to further decentralize the BOS front end infrastructure, improve the product stack, create application + vertical specific gateways, and encourage multichain gateways. 🔑 Some objectives and key results include - Proliferation of gateways with teams to manage and Go-To-Market strategies - Documentation and tutorials associated with the deployment, customization, and maintenance of gateways - Number of dApps into NEAR ecosystem deploying + maintaining a gateway - Creation of widgets for different gateway verticals - Changes to existing gateway VMs to support more robust widget across different verticals ### **Current Projects** There are a number of applications that are already working on gateways. - [Cantopia](https://bos-viewer.pages.dev/) for CantoSwap - [Bos.gg](http://Bos.gg) by Proximity (Ethereum/EVM Gateway) - [near.genadrop.io](http://near.genadrop.io) by @minorityprogrammers.near (NFT Vertical) - [https://temp.everything.dev/](https://temp.everything.dev/) by @evrything.near - Developer Specific Gateway by @zahidulislam.near ### **Key Challenges** - Customizing the VM & limited documentation - Finding Dedicated Teams with a Go-To-Market strategy - Building underlying widgets under verticals to warrant a robust gateways - Incentivizing teams to rebuild their front end ## **Next Steps** *What is planned for the upcoming 2-week sprint?* - Widget - [ ] Gateway Deployment Factory - [ ] Ability to choose branches from repos and gateway repo you want to deploy on vercel - [ ] Docs - [ ] Gateway Deployment Factory [https://alpha.near.org/#/microchipgnu.near/widget/DeployGateway](https://alpha.near.org/#/microchipgnu.near/widget/DeployGateway) - [ ] Customizing the VM - [ ] Customizing the UX - [ ] Gateways - [ ] Zahid - Developer Specific Gateway - [ ] NFT Specific [near.genadrop.io](http://near.genadrop.io) - [ ] Solana Specific? - [ ] Sui Specific? - [ ] Cosmos? → Leap Wallet ### **Scope of Work** *What is the meaning of "done" in this context?* - Video documentation made and posted across BOS + NEAR Social Dev group, on the BOS and social media (twitter + linkedin) → Gateway Deployment Factory, Customizing the VM, Deploying on Fleek - Widget on BOS with multiple vercel deployment options (need open source repo for different gateways with [Readme.md](http://Readme.md) with necessary configurations) - MVP with gateways with announcement on social media, unique UI UX for Solana, Sui, NFT, Developer Gateway..more - Sui gateway - Integration with Wallet Selector - 2 Sui widgets built out - Solana gateway - Solana JS in the VM - Solana Wallet Adapter - 2 Solana specific widgets - near.genadrop.io - Improvement of user flow - Adding of NFT Widget - Experimentation with EVM widgets ### **HOW TO GET INVOLVED** If you are interested in building Gateways during **#sprint2**, **Monday, April 17** to **Friday, April 28**, please reply to this post before next **Friday, April 14**. We suggest including: - Brief description of which on-chain frontend components you are building and / or would like to build and why, and which front end components your gateway would be leveraging. Also include what dependencies (RPC provider, Wallets adapter, JS libraries, and dependencies) your gateway would require. - Your experience with your DevOps , front end development bOS widgets, NEAR, and other chains or verticals which is relevant to the gateway you want to deploy. - Include #sprint, #sprint-2, #gateway, #bos, as hashtags for your post Although this is for educational purposes this process is to find dedicated teams to build on BOS. Meanwhile providing resources, developer support, & acceleration for these teams. Our thesis = dedicated gateways = robust widgets = further proliferation of BOS. Join the BOS telegram group here [nearbuilders.com/tg-bos](http://nearbuilders.com/tg-bos) If you are building a gateway that addresses a market need or specializes in DeFi across different chains, please submit an “Solution” to the Gigs Board with in accordance [nearbuilders.com/funding](http://nearbuilders.com/funding) to be sent to Proximity Labs. # Notes - Currently communicating with Josh around making a tutorial available for VMs as their has been interests. Opening communication with Proximity and Pagoda Dev Rel also about more streamlined documentation. - Talking with different wallet and teams about deploying chain specific gateways but they need more documentation on this - Talking with different NEAR dApps about their own gateway - Talking with NDC and Marketing DAO to create gateways for their specific operations and drafting RFP for NDC Product with this in mind Let us know any feedback in the comments…. We would like to know (What verticals are people interested in? What other chains need a gateway and how the development experience for that chain can improve through the BOS?)
