DangerousFreedom1984 submits CCS proposal to build Python tools that check for inflation in Monero

DangerousFreedom1984¹ has submitted a CCS proposal² looking to finish building Python tools and educational material for checking and explaining the absence of money leakage (a.k.a. inflation) in Monero:

I believe that basically what needs to be done is the creation of Python scripts and educational materials in order to: check the ring signatures, check the amounts involved, check the uniqueness of key images and check the emission curve.

Total funding: 43.2 XMR.

ETA: end of August 2022.

Milestones

• M1: MLSAG (ETA: end of May, 14.4 XMR)
• M2: CLSAG (ETA: end of June, 14.4 XMR)
• M3: Seraphis / Optimizations / Functional website delivery (ETA: end of August, 14.4 XMR)

The anonymous Python dev has already been working for 2 months on the initial scratch for the Pre-RingCT (v1) era.

Visit the Monero Inflation Checker WiP website³ and repository⁴ to have an idea of how the final product will look like.
