+|Brief Description       | Scalus is a platform for developing full-stacke decentralized applications (DApps) on the Cardano blockchain using a single language, Scala 3, tools and code for frontend, backend and smart contracts development. Scalus implements a Scala 3 compiler backend that compiles Scala to Cardano Plutus Core – a lambda calculus inspired smart contracts language. |
+|Expected Outcome        | Enable more Scala 3 features to be compiled to Plutus Core: arbitrary size Tuples, better pattern-matching conversion algorithm. Improvements in our code generator, and various lambda calculus optimizations: inliner, common subexpression eliminator etc. We also expect improvements in Scalus standard library, test coverage and documentations. |
+|Prerequisites           | Basic Scala knowledge. Basic understanding of compiler theory and blockchain technology is a plus. |
+|Expected Difficulty     | Medium  |
+|Expected Time Commitment| Medium project - 175 hours |
+|Spoken Language         | English |
