Personal Statement
While writing the SIP for Authentication Protocol it became clear that a lot of knowledge about identity on stacks is buried in code. I would like to change that. During the residency, I would like to be the point of contact for any questions about identity on stacks/bitcoin. I would create material for developers and users to use and understand profiles and authentication using their private keys. The audience would be stacks and bitcoin users and developers.

End Product

• SIPs and articles around authentication.
• Proof of concept and pull requests for wallet integrations and for integrating authentication in apps.
• Clarity code for profiles and identities where needed.
• History of communications in the community around identity

All this would be hosted in one place (to be defined) that is accessible and open for more contributors.

Roadmap

• Login with NFTs - 2 weeks
• Write or review feasibility study WalletConnect 2.0 on Stacks - 4 weeks
• Help to upgrade Hiro Wallet to Auth Protocol 2.0.0 - 2 months
• Specification for agreeing on transport between application and authenticator - 2 months
• Specification for using hard wallets during authentication - 2 months

Appendix
Previous work:

• Pull request to fix the wallet-sdk supporting more usernames
• SIP for Authentication Protocol
• contributions to various Stacks projects

Rewards:

• Stacky "Best Technical Builder" 2021

Hi @friedger

Apologies in the delayed response. I wanted to touch base with you and see if you are still interested in the Residency program. I believe you are heavily involved in some other projects now, but if you are still interested, please let me know and we can schedule an initial interview with you.

Best,
Will

@friedger -

I am looking forward to our call on Monday. It will be nice to meet you in person and learn more about your goals with being a resident. Right now, our main concern is just making sure that your plate is not too full to take this on. When we meet if you could be prepared to help us understand what other projects you would be managing during your proposed residency and if you have any concerns about limited bandwidth for adding this undertaking to your schedule.

Talk to you soon!

Best,
Will
