Seal - Solana and Ethereum support

[thithiri]

GM Seal team,

We got inspired by ingenuity and potentials of this building block.

So we initially prototyped Solana support: Seal working with Solana programs.

Then we got more excited and built Ethereum support: Seal working with Solidity smart contracts.

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMdRyKKBcrI

Both projects were implemented in a modular ways with minimal changes to the existing Seal codebase.

We would like to know how we could develop these initial work further and how we could contribute towards Seal (and Walrus) running beyond Sui.

Hi @thithiri Thanks for reaching out. Great work with Solana-Seal and Moodeng - the potential of bringing Seal to other chain ecosystems is really exciting, and we really appreciate the initiative. We would love to connect and explore collaboration possibilities - just have to work around some vacation time of key folks on our end.

Can I request you to ping us in Seal channel on Sui Discord, and then I can DM you there?

Hi @thithiri and @abhinavg6,

I'm very interested in contributing to the development of Seal for cross-chain support with Solana and Ethereum. I'm still a beginner in this area, but I'm eager to learn and would like to help with the development/integration work.

The Solana-Seal and Moodeng projects look really promising, and I'd love to be part of making Seal work across different blockchain ecosystems.

Could you provide some guidance on:

• What would be good first steps for a beginner to get started?
• Which parts of the codebase or integration would you recommend for beginners to experiment with?
• Are there specific tasks or areas where I could start contributing?

I'm committed to learning and contributing meaningfully to this initiative. Thank you for any guidance you can provide!
