Documentation Writing Proposal for AirDao
The proposal is to write a well-structured and comprehensive documentation that is essential to ensure seamless integration, enhance user experience, and drive developer's engagement. Having personally used and interacted with the network as a developer while deploying, verifying and testing smart contracts, I will deliver a detailed and user-friendly documentation for AirDao, designed to cater to both novice and experienced users.

This will be a graphical documentation, that is there will be vector image illustrations where necessary.
The documentation will be designed to be user-friendly, accessible, and practical, helping to lower the barrier to entry for new developers and users.
The total cost for this comprehensive documentation project is $7,000. This includes:
- Initial creation of all documentation.
- Integration of feedback from developers and users.
- One year of updates and maintenance to ensure the documentation remains current and relevant.
