jeffro2561 has submitted a new CCS proposal2 looking to continue working full-time on Carrot3 development - Monero’s main addressing protocol post-FCMP++ - for 3 months (Q1 2025):

The last quarter I implemented the core cryptography for Carrot. [..] The FCMP++ integration and Carrot integration are finally meeting ends and are almost ready for hot path integration. This next quarter, I want to continue this work to get a testnet out ASAP.

Total funding proposed: 114 XMR.

ETA: ~3 months.

Proposed work overview

  • Integrate Carrot scanning/transaction construction into main wallet codepaths
  • Begin soliciting Carrot core implementation audits
  • Provide Rust implementation of Carrot for Serai/Cuprate
  • Help out with the FCMP++ integration wherever I can
  • Provide support to existing hardware wallet manufacturors [..]

jeffro256 has contributed 84 merged commits4 to the Monero core repository (master), began working on the Seraphis migration project5, and also wrote up the Carrot specification3 for formal auditing.
