First tier

Cesium2 - Envelope €6,000

Forecast

A 3-month full-time assignment (originally planned for spring 2025) for zoltounet, a developer supervised by Kimamila (@BenoitLavenier).

This estimate of budget and time was made off the cuff during a phone call. A somewhat fragile situation.

Raising the donations

The tier is quickly reached. The budget is allocated and set aside, ready to pay the invoices.

First progress review

The start took a little longer than planned, quickly made up.
The budget initially estimated is fully spent and exceeded from the 1st invoice (€7,275).

Kimamila therefore gave us an overview of what remains to be done:

  • Finishing node selection (via the endpoint developed by @cgeek)
  • PIN code management (letting the user choose it)
  • Release on the Apple Store (first via testflight) to allow testing on iPhone:
    • Product sheet to write, validation to go through with Apple
  • Release on the Android Play Store:
    • Sheet to write, and Google validation
  • Release on the Mozilla catalogue (Firefox extension)
  • Release on the Chrome Store (Chrome extension)

Allocation decision

Exceptionally, Axiom had to take an express decision to deal with this envelope overrun.

Kimamila explains how hard it is for him to predict how long and when he will be able to devote time to Cesium, for reasons internal to his company (a big new client, and the context).

Axiom's decision

At a board meeting in June 2025, Axiom decides to allocate a second tier, with the following context and criteria:
  • Kimamila's company needs an immediate answer for the processing of this invoice.
  • A misunderstanding is a tango that takes two.
  • The overrun is significant.
  • The last two tiers reached are not earmarked for anyone by name.
  • Cesium2 has priority value for the deployment of Duniter v2.
But, given the lack of visibility on the durations and the possible deliverables, Axiom asks that this funding should not exceed €12k including VAT in total.You will find the rest of the story on the page of the 4th tier, thus reassigned from Duniter to Cesium.
