Prop 108: [Proposal] Core Development and Maintenance (Jan - June 2026) by DELIGHT LABS

1. DELIGHT LABS: The History and Technical Identity of CONX

DELIGHT LABS has been the core technical partner of CONX since the C2X era, taking full responsibility for the design and construction of the mainnet.

  • Technical Foundation of CONX: We are the team that designed and directly implemented the overall chain architecture, participating from the Genesis of the mainnet.
  • Pioneers of Hybrid Engines: We successfully built the first hybrid environment in the Cosmos ecosystem where CosmWasm and EVM coexist. We possess unique expertise in managing complex interactions between these two virtual machines.
  • Proven Stability: Since the launch, we have operated the network without any technical gaps through continuous maintenance of the latest versions and 24/7 monitoring.

2. Core Development Scope (Upcoming 6 Months)

Over the next six months, DELIGHT LABS will focus on the following technical updates to evolve CONX into a chain with global-level Ethereum compatibility and interoperability.

[Infrastructure & Engine Upgrade]

  • Advanced EVM Compatibility:
    • EIP-7702 Support: Proactive introduction of the latest Ethereum standards to support User Experience (UX) innovation.
    • Full JSON-RPC Sync: Implementation of API inputs and outputs perfectly aligned with go-ethereum v1.16.3.
    • Debugging Tools: Addition of advanced developer APIs such as debug_traceCall and eth_createAccessList.
    • Mempool Optimization: Enhancement of transaction processing efficiency by introducing an EVM-compatible app-side mempool.
  • Interoperability & Core Features:
    • IBC Enhancement: Streamlining asset transfers through the application of ICS20 Precompile and the implementation of IBC Callbacks.
    • Wasm Integration: Development of Wasm Delegate Call functionality to enable more seamless invocation and utilization of wasm within the evm environment.
    • Bank Precompile: Addition of Total Supply queries within the Bank Precompile to improve on-chain data accessibility.
    • Backward Compatibility: To ensure continuity with existing infrastructure, we provide support for queries on existing legacy Ethermint transactions.

3. Funding Request & Disbursement (Vesting)

In alignment with the DAO structure, we request the following budget to ensure transparent fund execution.

  • Total Requested Amount: 9,652,877 CONX
  • Budget Basis: Monthly Maintenance Fee of $30,000 × 6 months (Jan ~ June 2026) = Total $180,000
  • Price Reference: $0.01864729 / CONX (Based on the 1-month average (2025-12-17 ~ 2026-01-16) from CoinGecko data)

[Vesting Plan]

  • Vesting Contract:xpla1e528mhrl2awwsf3pwfwvm5scz7xtljrhmszn8kf24pf4w965cuxqr5cvzt
  • Schedule: Funds will be released linearly on the 1st of every month for 6 months. The community can monitor the status of fund execution in real-time.

4. Conclusion

The expertise of DELIGHT LABS, the team that knows CONX best, is the most reliable guarantee for the security and growth of the network. We remain committed to ensuring that CONX maintains the highest level of technical competitiveness following its transition to a DAO.
