Q2 2026 Funding Proposal for NFID Foundation
NFID Wallet remains the gateway to the Internet Computer, driven by a commitment to DAO governance and technical excellence. As we move into Q2 2026, our focus shifts toward protocol sustainability and ecosystem-wide alignment.
Summary We request a grant of 23,085 ICP from the NFID Wallet DAO treasury to fund Q2 2026 deliverables (which will be executed in two proposals - 20,000 and 3,085). This quarter focuses on launching the NFIDW-backed Discovery Auction system, expanding EVM-to-ICP interoperability, and executing an upgrade of core DFINITY libraries. By prioritizing library alignment, we ensure that NFID Wallet remains the most compatible and high-performance signer for the next generation of ICP dApps.
This Quarter’s Deliverables:
Discovery Monetization. Launch a decentralized auction system for "Featured App" slots. Core Library Alignment. Comprehensive update of all DFINITY and IdentityKit libraries to support the latest signer features and dApp standards. EVM Bridging & Yield. Enable seamless asset movement between EVM chains and native "Earn" mechanisms for EVM tokens. Proactive Security Alerts. Real-time notification of unrecognized logins with a one-click "Secure Account" session kill-switch. OpenCryptoPay Integration. Direct crypto-to-fiat and merchant payment gateway integration. Why This Matters To maintain our position as the ecosystem's leading wallet, we must prioritize interoperability. By focusing our technical efforts on updating DFINITY libraries and IdentityKit, we empower third-party dApps and signers to utilize the latest protocol features. Furthermore, Q2 introduces the first major utility sink for NFIDW. The Discovery Auction system creates a competitive marketplace for visibility, requiring developers to lock or spend NFIDW, thereby aligning the wallet's growth with the token's ecosystem value. These efforts, combined with advanced EVM bridging, solidify NFID as the most versatile tool for users navigating the intersection of the ICP world.
