## Proposal
- [Developer Experience Initiative proposal](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/proposal/): the full funded proposal, rendered as Markdown.

## Deliverables
- [D1 · Community Alignment — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/community-alignment/): Align the ecosystem around one DevX strategy and map all existing tooling to create a baseline for collaboration and reactive work.
- [D2 · Hackathon, Bounties & Outreach — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/hackathon-outreach/): Run a developer hackathon, fund community bounties for high-impact repo fixes, and sustain developer outreach where builders already are.
- [D3 · Setup CLI/TUI — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/cardano-init/): A "create-react-app" for Cardano: pick a stack, get a project set up and ready to build in minutes, with AI/LLM-native commands and a plugin system.
- [D4 · Developer HUB — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/developer-hub/): One entry point for developers new to Cardano, built on the Developer Portal with onboarding paths for three personas and content LLMs can consume.
- [D5 · Contracts Library — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/contracts-library/): An OpenZeppelin-style library of battle-tested, ready-to-use Cardano smart contracts as building blocks, references, or ready-to-go implementations.
- [D6 · Project Kickoff — done](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/kickoff/): Stand up the team, socialise the initiative's scope for community alignment, and begin mapping ecosystem documentation.
- [D7 · KPI & Outcome Achievement — not-started](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/kpi/): Measure the initiative's outcomes — developer NPS and MAU uplift against baseline — and deliver the final close-out report.
- [D8 · Reactive — in-progress](https://input-output-hk.github.io/devx-updates/deliverables/reactive/): Address high-ROI opportunities surfaced through ecosystem alignment, with transparent reporting of what we picked and why.
