The AlgoKit-Core working group is requesting retroactive funding of 88,888 ALGO for two months of high-intensity development (May–June 2026) to deliver feature-complete native mobile SDKs for Android and iOS. The SDKs include algokit-crypto, algokit-transact, and algokit-composer, which power a downstream native mobile wallet and ensure parity with web SDKs. The funding will be reinvested into future development of algokit-core, including OAS generator updates and research into Kotlin/Swift support. Applications are not being accepted as this is a retroactive funding request for completed work.
Eligibility: Open to the AlgoKit-Core working group members (David Rojas, Michael T Chuang, Joe Polny, and occasional contributor Michael Feher); funding is intended for non-Algorand Foundation independent builders in the group.

Let’s discuss my proposal - AlgoKit-Core Mobile SDKs | June 2026 release xGov proposal - [AlgoKit-Core Mobile SDKs | June 2026 release | xGov](https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3618757149) Originally started by the Algorand Foundation (AF) to create multi-language SDKs from a unified Rust core using RustFFI, the algokit-core project was handed off to the community when AF narrowed its focus to TypeScript and Python. The algokit-core working group was formed to try to fill a critical gap: bringing feature-complete, native mobile SDKs (Android & iOS) to the Algorand ecosystem, ensuring parity with the web SDKs. Additionally, this working group serves as an experiment in decentralized, community-led protocol maintenance for Algorand’s long-term sustainability. We successfully built (in this release) the rust base and then used FFI to generate and publish native mobile packages to Maven (Android) and SPM (iOS). These core crates are powering a downstream native mobile wallet: * algokit-crypto: Account creation and recovery (Algorand standard & HD accounts) * algokit-transact: Transaction encoding and decoding * algokit-composer: Asset transfers, ASA opt-ins, key registration, etc. We are requesting 88,888 ALGO in retroactive funding for two months of high-intensity development (May – June 2026) for this deliverable. The requested funding will be reinvested in future quarters to continue building out algokit-core. Roadmap-wise, our next release will cover updating the OAS generator (used to generate algod client & indexer related crate code in rust)…and to research if we can do the same for Kotlin/Swift. We will also will look into supporting native Falcon accounts after that in algokit-core. In the meantime, there is an Android/iOS SDK for Falcon lsigs currently you can use ( [GitHub - algorandecosystem/falcon-signatures-mobile: Go mobile wrapper SDK around falcon-signatures CLI (until official mobile SDK support) · GitHub](https://github.com/algorandecosystem/falcon-signatures-mobile) ) About the Team The AlgoKit-Core working group consists of David Rojas, Michael T Chuang, and Joe Polny (sometimes Michael Feher also joins in). * David Rojas (Former AF AlgoKit Tech Lead) * Michael T Chuang (Former AF Android Tech Lead). Michael T Chuang currently serves as a member of xGov Council and will abstain from voting on this proposal within xGov Council to prevent conflict of interest. * Joe Polny & Michael Feher (Current AF Engineers contributing in their spare time) Financial Transparency: Contributions from active Algorand Foundation employees are considered covered by their salaries. 100% of this grant goes exclusively to the non-AF independent builders in the working group to sustain dedicated development Additional Info: Repos algokit-core repo: [GitHub - algorandecosystem/algokit-core: Rust implementations of core Algorand functionality that is exposed to other languages via FFIs. · GitHub](https://github.com/algorandecosystem/algokit-core) iOS SPM distribution repo: [GitHub - algorandecosystem/algokit-core-swift: AlgoKit-Core Swift Distribution Repo (Read-Only) · GitHub](https://github.com/algorandecosystem/algokit-core-swift) maven Android distribution link: [Maven Central: io.github.algorandecosystem](https://central.sonatype.com/namespace/io.github.algorandecosystem) falcon-signatures-mobile repo: [GitHub - algorandecosystem/falcon-signatures-mobile: Go mobile wrapper SDK around falcon-signatures CLI (until official mobile SDK support) · GitHub](https://github.com/algorandecosystem/falcon-signatures-mobile) Metrics: 146+ unique repo cloners, 1,062+ repo clones (github traffic last 14 days | algokit-core) 27+ unique repo cloners, 31+ repo clones (github traffic last 14 days | algokit-core-swift) 44+ unique repo cloners, 82+ repo clones (github traffic last 14 days | falcon-signatures-mobile)
