Add Dedot Application

[sinzii]

Project Abstract

Dedot is a next-generation JavaScript client for PolkadotSDK-based blockchains, designed to address the complexities developers face when building applications in the Polkadot ecosystem. With its lightweight architecture and developer-friendly approach, Dedot serves as a high-quality, go-to solution for JavaScript and TypeScript developers working with Substrate-based networks.

This proposal aims to build upon Dedot's solid foundation by implementing support for the latest protocol changes and adding new features, including Client API improvements, archive_* prefixed JSON-RPC integration, Metadata V16 support, new Transaction Format (v5) integration, and Pallet View Functions. These enhancements will keep Dedot at the forefront of JavaScript/TypeScript tooling for the Polkadot ecosystem, ensuring seamless adoption of evolving standards and providing developers with the tools they need to build sophisticated, performant, and user-friendly applications.

Hi everyone, for transparency, we're currently applying a different scope of works/improvements for Dedot in Ink!ubator v2 Grant. While we're unsure if it's appropriate to keep 2 proposals for Dedot like this at the same time given the time-constraint in delivery.

Out of respect for the committee’s time and the integrity of the grant process, we have decided to place this application on-hold while we're waiting for the outcome of Ink!ubator v2 proposal. Please let me know if you have any feedback or concerns regarding this, thank you!

I'm closing the PR for now to put the application on-hold, let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback, thank you!
