Short summary

This RFP seeks proposals for the development of an AI-native Development Environment (IDE) that improves the efficiency and accessibility of blockchain application development for the ASI:Chain.

Main purpose

Provide a Development Environment for builders to easily build with ASI:Chain on the DevNet and upcoming Testnet.
With the upcoming Wallet, Casper3 Consensus, and cross-chain Bridging infrastructure, we expect developers from other chains to explore dApps on ASI:Chain. With the hybrid node deployment across Ethereum, Cosmos, Cardano planned in the mainnet V1 launch, the aim of the DE is to accelerate decentralized application development on the ASI:Chain efficiently, thereby accelerating adoption within the ecosystem.
With the rising popularity of Vibecoding, ASI:Chain would like to incorporate elements of vibecoding to simplify app and agent development on ASI:Chain.
With MainNet V1 and the launch of compute, agentverse/marketplace, and Hyperon, ASI:Chain will look to integrate all the technology verticals into a unified development environment for builders and enterprises.

Long description

Context and background:

SingularityNET is building the ASI:Chain, the first AI-Native Layer-1 blockchain designed for artificial intelligence workloads and decentralized agent economies. The ASI:Chain is designed to deliver secure interoperability, scalable and customizable consensus, and privacy-preserving peer-to-peer networks for data indexing and exchange, compute brokering, agentic AI, and AGI. Currently, building on Blockchain requires developers to navigate fragmented tooling, multiple smart contract languages, complex deployment processes, and integration challenges. This complexity is no longer there with AI, with AI vibe coding tools and IDEs simplifying coding for everybody - even for users who’ve never written code. The fragmentation in Blockchain tooling creates significant barriers to entry and slows development cycles. A blockchain specific development environment can abstract this complexity and unlock the potential of the ASI:Chain for a broader developer audience. Expected Outcomes:

A working development environment that provides blockchain development tools and deeply integrates with the SingularityNET ecosystem.
AI tools in the DE trained on ASI:Chain to simplify writing contracts and deployment on ASI:Chain. Integration of ASI:Chain wallet into the IDE for seamless deployment.
Demonstrate a working platform that can connect with the ASI:Wallet, help developers write code, and deploy a sample app on the ASI:Chain.
Showcase a demo of the app that runs on the ASI:Chain.
Optionally, integrate with ASI-Cloud for infra and inference.

Functional Requirements

Must Have:

ASI Wallet Integration: The IDE must support integration with the ASI wallet for transaction signing and management.
Natural Language Interface for vibecoding smart contracts on ASI:Chain: The IDE should support intent-based interaction using natural language to guide contract generation, application structure, or deployment workflows.
Block Explorer Integration: The IDE must integrate with the ASI:Chain block explorer to enable developers to view deployed contracts, transactions, and execution results directly from the IDE.
Local Development Network: The IDE could include a local ASI:Chain development network for offline testing and rapid iteration without requiring DevNet access.

Could Have:

Advanced Optimization Features: The IDE could provide optimization tools for performance or cost efficiency on the ASI:Chain.
ASI:Chain Smart Contract Support: Provide robust tools for testing, and debugging smart contracts specifically for the ASI:Chain.
Node support: Support for the upcoming Rust version of ASI:chain node.
Cross-chain infrastructure: Support for the upcoming cross-chain bridging infrastructure and other cross-chain protocols such as Axelar, Wormhole.

Non-functional Requirements

Performance: The platform should be highly performant, with a focus on fast compilation times, efficient code generation, and low-latency deployments.
Usability: An intuitive and user-friendly interface that provides a seamless developer experience.
Documentation: Comprehensive and well-structured documentation for all features and APIs.
Logs and traceability: Keep logs of activity and transactions

Team requirements

Proposers should demonstrate expertise in:

Blockchain Development Experience: Proven track record in building blockchain development tools, smart contract frameworks, or related infrastructure.
Developer tools: Experience building integrated development environments or developer tools with strong user experience design.
AI tools, platforms, models: Experience with integrating AI models or AI-powered features.

Main evaluation criteria

Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria:

Alignment with requirements: Does the proposal meet the requirements and objectives of the RFP? Is the proposed solution well-aligned with the ASI:Chain vision and ecosystem?
Technical Approach: Is the proposed technical approach sound, feasible, and innovative? Does the proposal demonstrate a deep understanding of the problem and a thoughtful solution?
Team Experience: Does the team have relevant skills and a strong track record in blockchain development, IDE development, and AI integration? Are the team members well-suited for this project?
Cost: Does the proposal offer good value for money? Is the budget reasonable and well-justified?
Timeline and Milestones: Does the proposal include a set of clearly defined, achievable milestones with realistic timelines?
