Upgrade SNS extension

This will upload the given WASM to the user_index and trigger a rolling upgrade of local_user_index canisters on each subnet.

Upgrade local_user_index canisters

This will upload the given WASM to the user_index which will in turn call c2c_upgrade_user_canister_wasm on the local_user_index on each subnet. These will each trigger a rolling upgrade of user canisters on their subnet.

Upgrade user canisters

This will add a reference to an uninstalled local_user_index canister on a new subnet.

Add new local_user_index canister

This will mark the local_user_index with the given canister_id as full so that no more users will be created on this subnet.

Mark local_user_index full

During a rolling user canister upgrade this controls how many user canisters can be upgraded concurrently. Setting a value of zero stops the upgrade altogether. Setting this value too high will slow down subnets during user upgrade.

Set max concurrent user canister upgrades

The user with the given user id will be given the role of platform moderator. These users have the authority to suspend users and freeze groups.

Add a platform moderator

The user with the given user id will have the role of platform moderator rescinded.

Remove a platform moderator

The user with the given user id will be given the role of platform operator. These users have the authority to call endpoints which affect rolling canister deployments such as setting the concurrency level.

Add a platform operator

The user with the given user id will have the role of platform operator rescinded.

Remove a platform operator

This will register a new external achievement which users can complete to earn CHIT

This will upload the given WASM to the group_index and trigger a rolling upgrade of local_group_index canisters on each subnet.

Upgrade local_group_index canisters

This will upload the given WASM to the group_index which will in turn call c2c_upgrade_group_canister_wasm on the local_group_index on each subnet. These will each trigger a rolling upgrade of group canisters on their subnet.

Upgrade group canisters

This will add a reference to an uninstalled local_group_index canister on a new subnet.

Add new local_group_index

This will mark the local_group_index with the given canister_id as full so that no more groups will be created on this subnet.

Mark local_group_index full

During a rolling group canister upgrade this controls how many group canisters can be upgraded concurrently. Setting a value of zero stops the upgrade altogether. Setting this value too high will slow down subnets during group upgrade.

Set max concurrent group canister upgrades

This will upload the given WASM to the group_index which will in turn call c2c_upgrade_community_canister_wasm on the local_group_index on each subnet. These will each trigger a rolling upgrade of community canisters on their subnet.

Upgrade community canisters

This proposal will mark the given public community as 'verified' (blue tick) if it passes. The proposal summary should be used to provide evidence that the given community legitimately represents the given name. Additionally, if a different name is provided for this community and this name is already used by an existing public community or group which isn't itself 'verified' then this proposal will rename that community/group by adding a random suffix like _436 and the given community will take on the given name. This is to address the scenario where a public community or group has been created for a name which it doesn't legitimately represent.

Set community verification

This proposal will mark the given public group as 'verified' (blue tick) if it passes. The proposal summary should be used to provide evidence that the given group legitimately represents the given name. Additionally, if a different name is provided for this group and this name is already used by an existing public group or community which isn't itself 'verified' then this proposal will rename that group/community by adding a random suffix like _436 and the given group will take on the given name. This is to address the scenario where a public group or community has been created for a name which it doesn't legitimately represent.

Set group verification

Revoke the verified status (blue tick) of the given community. This would be used if the given community no longer legitimately represents its name. The proposal summary should be used to provide evidence.

Revoke community verification

Revoke the verified status (blue tick) of the given group. This would be used if the given group no longer legitimately represents its name. The proposal summary should be used to provide evidence.

Revoke group verification

This will upload the given WASM to the notifications_index and trigger a rolling upgrade of notifications_canisters on each subnet.

This will update the specified token's details in the Registry, updating the value of each field provided in the payload.

Update token details in the Registry

This will instruct the Registry to expand OpenChat onto a new subnet, allowing it to scale to many more users, groups and communities

Expand OpenChat onto a new subnet

This will instruct the NeuronController canister to stake a new neuron with 1 ICP.

Subsequent 'ManageNnsNeuron' and 'TransferFromTreasury' proposals can be made to update the neuron's configuration and increase its stake.

This will instruct the NeuronController canister to call 'manage_neuron' on the NNS governance canister to manage one of the neurons it controls.

This can be used to configure the neuron, set up following, spawn a new neuron, etc.

OpenChat Labs funding proposal

## Summary

We ask the OpenChat DAO to provide funding of 103,000 USD to OpenChat Labs Ltd to cover:

- team salaries for a 6 week period from mid-May
- hosting, administration, and other expenses for 4 months (Mar - Jun)

## Split proposals

This will be split into two proposals due to limits the SNS imposes on how much of the treasury can be withdrawn in a single week.

This is the first proposal for 31,517 ICP (~94,500 USD).

## Context

For the last 3 months, most of the dev team has been engaged in building a sovereign chat app for Pakistan (PK), hosted on the PK cloud engine, designed to scale to 100s of millions of users, during which time we have not received funds from the OC DAO. It is currently undergoing a trial with the PDA (Pakistan Digital Authority) and we now have some time back to dedicate to OpenChat.

The PK chat app is a simpler product than OpenChat with a different target audience and use-case. It doesn't have communities, threads, crypto features, access gating, DAO governance etc. However, there are many improvements we've made that are applicable to OpenChat which we can now incorporate.

## Plans for this funding period

### General

#### Features

- establish an automated moderation and reporting system using AI (necessary for app store review)
- support TACO to integrate their exchange as a new OC swap provider

#### Enhancements

- revise app level routing to reduce unexpected behaviour (particularly when navigating backwards)
- replace the message entry component with a headless rich text editor which is more reliable and with better markdown support
- implement support of custom emojis during message entry

#### Bug fixes

- virtualise the message timeline component to improve efficiency and stability of the infinite scroll
- prevent chats jumping, caused by link preview rendering, by loading open graph preview data before sending messages for all link types
- fix UI issue when creating swaps
- fix the blank screen issue that can affect web app users on iOS

### Native app specific

#### Features

- outbound sharing of messages with other installed apps
- inbound sharing of content from other apps as messages in selected chats
- support call notificaitons

#### Enhancements

- enhance the draft voice note recording UI in the android app
- enhance message bubble for video calls
- enhance interface for creating prizes
- enhance prize message bubbles
- update app fonts and styles to prefer system provided ones, which should be platform optimised for readability/legibility
- enhance notifications for media messages

#### Bugs

- stop showing a notifications summary
- fix for image message longpress activating drag & drop mode and freezing the UI
- fix media/file message download functionality
- fix a problem with image zoom
- fix UI for proposal groups

In addition to the above, we will make any further changes necessary, to get the Android app to a point where it can be submitted for app store review with a good chance of success.
