+### What
+
+This CCS proposal is for 3 months of full time Feather Wallet development.
+
+The goal for this proposal is to get Feather out of Beta and release the 1.0 version.
+
+### Background
+
+See the previous [CCS proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/tobtoht_feather_dev_q1_2021.html).
+
+### What I want to work on
+
+To ensure the first major release is as stable, robust, and reliable as possible I will be mainly focussing my efforts on polishing the existing feature set (and extending it where needed).
+
+- Fix bugs and issues as they arrise
+- Further improve the UI/UX (layout, actionable error messages, etc)
+- Improve documentation and user guides
+- Add more compile flags for minimal/alternative builds: (no-Tor, no-Websocket, etc)
+- Refactor parts of the codebase
+- Allow compiling on more architectures
+- Extensive QA testing on all supported platforms
+- Commission a redesigned logo
+- Upstream changes to libwalletqt / wallet_api
+- Improve the setup procedure (Windows installer, Debian package on PPA, mac DMG)
+- More advanced coin control: manual input selection and individual output labeling
+- Extend hardware wallet support to include Trezor devices
+- Allow opening multiple wallets at once
+
+Once the is more clarity surrounding Triptych-compatible multisig (see [1](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/blob/master/cypherstack-sarang-triptych-research.md), [2](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/225#note_10903)) I will continue working on integrating multisig into Feather.
+
+As always I will rely heavily on user feedback to determine where to put my focus.
+
+### Who
+
+Hi, I'm tobtoht. Creator of xmrguide and maintainer of Feather Wallet.
+I have been an active contributor to the Monero ecosystem since April 2018.
+
+Some of the things I have worked on are:
+
+- Created and maintained guides to set up Monero on Tails and Whonix ([xmrguide](http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/), [reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/h8pbc2/))
+- Made miscellaneous contributors to the GUI (most notably Tails support)
+- Maintained a [list](http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/remote_nodes) of .onion remote nodes with their status
+- Co-created Feather Wallet with dsc
+
+### Proposal
+
+40 hours per week at 45 USD/hour for 3 months (mid May to mid August) for a total of 91.5 XMR. At a rate of $236/XMR.
+
+Progress will be reported in #feather on OFTC. Monthly updates will be posted to /r/FeatherWallet in the form on release changelogs.
+
+Feedback and comments are welcome.
+
+**To donators**: In the week since I made this proposal there has been some very significant volatility, making it difficult to establish a "fair" XMR/USD price. As such I had to adjust the quoted price down several times because the difference had grown larger than my risk tolerance. I have currently settled on ${current_price} + 20%, in the expectation that the price will recover a bit after such a steep decline.
+
+To ensure I can sustain myself in the coming months AND the community gets its money's worth, I will extend the time spent on this proposal in case there is significant price appreciation over the next three months, like I did with my previous CCS (1.5 months overtime).
