+# Gnomo DEX - Gno.land Grant Proposal
+
+## Applicant Information
+
+- **Project Name:** Gnomo DEX
+- **Applicant Name:** Jim Wood
+- **Contact Email:** tazmaan@gmail.com
+- **GitHub:** https://github.com/tazmaan-defi/gnomo
+- **Discord:** tazmaan
+
+---
+
+## Project Summary
+
+**Gnomo DEX** is a fully on-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) built natively on Gno.land, featuring both a traditional **V2 AMM (Constant Product)** and an advanced **Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM)** inspired by Uniswap v3.
+
+This is one of the first production-ready DEXs on Gno.land, demonstrating that complex DeFi primitives can be built entirely in Gno. The project includes:
+
+- **V2 AMM Contract:** Classic x*y=k constant product pools with configurable fee tiers
+- **CLMM Contract:** Concentrated liquidity with tick-based positions, sqrt-price math, and fee collection
+- **Full-Featured Frontend:** React/Next.js interface with wallet integration (Adena), real-time quotes, price charts, and position management
+- **Multi-Pool Routing:** Automatic best-rate discovery across V2 and CLMM pools
+
+### Why This Matters for Gno.land
+
+1. **Proves DeFi Viability:** Demonstrates that sophisticated financial primitives work on Gno
+2. **Liquidity Infrastructure:** Essential building block for any blockchain ecosystem
+3. **Reference Implementation:** Well-documented code that other developers can learn from
+4. **User Onboarding:** DEXs drive user adoption and transaction volume
+
+---
+
+## Goals & Deliverables
+
+### Phase 1: Core DEX (Completed)
+- [x] V2 AMM smart contract with liquidity management
+- [x] CLMM smart contract with concentrated liquidity positions
+- [x] Proper sqrt-based CLMM math (Uniswap v3 style)
+- [x] Frontend with Adena wallet integration
+- [x] Multi-pool quote aggregation and routing
+- [x] Price charts and volume tracking
+- [x] Deployed to Gno staging testnet
+
+### Phase 2: Production Readiness (In Progress)
+- [ ] Security audit and bug fixes
+- [ ] Remove test functions (MintTestTokens) for mainnet
+- [ ] Gas optimization
+- [ ] Comprehensive test suite
+- [ ] Documentation and developer guides
+
+### Phase 3: Advanced Features (Planned)
+- [ ] Limit orders
+- [ ] Multi-hop routing (A→B→C swaps)
+- [ ] Liquidity mining / incentive programs
+- [ ] Analytics dashboard
+- [ ] Mobile-responsive UI improvements
+
+### Phase 4: Ecosystem Integration (Planned)
+- [ ] GRC-20 token standard integration
+- [ ] Price oracle for other Gno dApps
+- [ ] SDK/library for other developers to integrate swaps
+- [ ] Governance token and DAO structure
+
+### Phase 5: Cross-Chain (Future - Pending IBC)
+- [ ] IBC integration when available on gno.land
+- [ ] Skip Go API integration for cross-chain swaps and bridging
+- [ ] Multi-chain liquidity aggregation
+
+---
+
+## Impact on the Developer Ecosystem
+
+### For Gno.land Developers
+- **Reference Code:** Production-quality Gno smart contracts demonstrating:
+  - Safe integer math patterns
+  - Complex state management (positions, ticks, liquidity)
+  - Multi-contract architecture
+  - Banker/coin integration patterns
+- **Reusable Libraries:** Price oracle functionality, sqrt math, safe math utilities
+- **Integration Point:** Other dApps can integrate swap functionality
+
+### For Gno.land Users
+- **Essential Infrastructure:** Every blockchain needs a DEX for token liquidity
+- **Familiar UX:** Interface patterns users know from Uniswap/other DEXs
+- **Low Barrier:** Easy onboarding for DeFi users from other chains
+
+### For Gno.land Ecosystem
+- **TVL Growth:** DEXs attract liquidity and capital to the ecosystem
+- **Transaction Volume:** Swaps generate network activity and fees
+- **Proof Point:** Shows investors and developers that Gno is DeFi-ready
