jeffro256 submits CCS proposal to continue Monero/Carrot dev work in Q2 2025

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 (Q2 2025):

The last quarter I integrated Carrot into wallet2 scanning. I also integrated Carrot over FCMP++ transaction construction into the CLI wallet transfer command. I want to continue this work before the upcoming alpha stressnet on May 21st.

Total funding proposed: 117 XMR.

ETA: ~3 months.

Proposed work overview

• Finish CLI wallet support for Carrot/FCMP++
• Start/finish RPC wallet support for Carrot/FCMP++
• Help GUI wallet support Carrot/FCMP++
• Begin soliciting Carrot core implementation audits
• Provide Rust implementation of Carrot for Serai/Cuprate
• Solicit help for multisig implementations of Carrot
• Help out with the FCMP++ integration wherever I can

jeffro256 has contributed 98 merged commits⁴ to the Monero core repository, worked on the Seraphis migration project in 2023/2024⁵, and also wrote up the Carrot specification³ for formal auditing⁶ and implementation⁷.

It is worth noting that the dev has recently completed the final milestone for their previous CCS proposal⁸.
