Round 18 - GMC Call for Retrospective Applications - Deadline is November 7

Name of Retrospective Award

Rescue Node - Smart Contract wallet support for Solo Stakers

Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?

@trainface on twitter/discord. GMC can contact me to get in touch with him, should they have questions / need an address for payment.

What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.

@trainface contributed code to rescue-proxy, rescue-api, and rescue-ui to diligently add support for Smart Contract signatures to the Rescue Node. Prior to this work, solo stakers with 0x01 credentials that were smart contract wallets such as gnosis safes were unable to use the rescue node.

Now, they can!

I worked with him closely over 2 weeks in October while he completed the work in his spare time.

Here are the PRs:

Costs

How much USD $ is the applicant requesting be awarded to the recipient?

$750

It’s substantially less than he deserves, but proportionate to previous funding for Rescue Node development.

Is the applicant requesting RPL or LUSD?

RPL (orange pill him) but I imagine he’ll be equally happy to accept LUSD.
