Thanks for the application, @davidzindex999. A few questions:

• Is there a reason you only address smart contracts, and not also pallets? I'd assume there would be interest in pallet activity notifications as well.
• Are you planning to support only ink!, or also EVM-based smart contracts?
• Since your Github account is new, is there any previous work you can share with us? Anything open source, ideally Substrate or blockchain related?

Hey @semuelle. Thanks for showing interest in this application.

Is there a reason you only address smart contracts, and not also pallets? I'd assume there would be interest in pallet activity notifications as well.

Support for pallets is not in the scope of this grant. We will create a follow-up grant, and we will have support for pallets along with some more functionalities.

Are you planning to support only ink!, or also EVM-based smart contracts?

Yes, currently, we will only support Ink. Ultimately we will try to extend support to all the chains, including EVM-based chains.

Since your Github account is new, is there any previous work you can share with us? Anything open source, ideally Substrate or blockchain related?

I have been working in an IT-based company for close to 6 years. We had our instance of GitLab, where I used to push the code. I will push a few ink based smart contracts and file downloader in Rust which I created sometime back.

Hey @semuelle Hope you are doing well! Any update on the same ?

Hey @semuelle. I have added the following repositories. Hope it helps. The third one is just a boilerplate generated using cargo contract new:
