+3-Months full-time software development on monero "core" components in 2023 q3.
+
+## What
+Work primarily on the `monerod`, `wallet`, and `monero-lws`. Some of the work to be attempted or investigated:
+  - Complete p2p Noise encryption (already in-progress)
+  - Get new serialization routine merged (work on piecemeal PRs for reviewers sake)
+  - Complete work necessary to merge [DANE/TLSA in wallet2/epee](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero/tree/improve/dane_tlsa).
+  - Adding trust-on-first-use support to wallet2
+  - Add msgpack support to monerod-ZMQ (requires merging of new serialization system)
+  - `monero-lws` work:
+    - Optional full chain verification for malicious daemon attack
+    - Subaddresses
+    - A accept-all-new-accounts mode similar to MyMonero behavior (instead of manually callback)
+    - Webhook for new account creation (prevents polling for new accounts)
+    - ZMQ pub support for incoming transactions and blocks (notifies of _any_ new transaction or block)
+    - Create Github Actions that run unit-tests and provide binaries
+    - Provide official LWS docker-image
+    - Provide official snap/flatpak/appimge (tbd one or all of those)
+    - Provide pre-built binaries
+    - (Unlikely) - reproducible builds so community members can verify+sign the binary hashes
+
+More than 3 months listed there, priorities may change as community requests or issues arise.
+
+## Who
+
+Lee Clagett (vtnerd). I've had [three](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2021-q1.html). The [full list of my monero PRs since last CCS](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avtnerd+created%3A%3E2021-02-17). I've also written a [msgpack implementation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/63) for the new serialization system (in Monero-LWS), an [admin REST](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/62) api to Monero-LWS, as well as [webhooks for incoming transactions](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/66) (including a [zero-confirmation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/72) for webhooks) (instead of the previously proposed ZMQ-PUB). [Unit tests](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/53) were also finally added to Monero-LWS.
+
+## Proposal
+
+Work on the various tasks outlined above for 40 hours/week over the next 3 months after potential funding. I already use time-tracking software for work; if the hours dip in a given month unexpectedly, the update/milestone will be at the completion of the hours listed above.
+
+The funds were calculated with 55 USD/hour with ~158.13 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2023/07/02.
