# Infra & Dev Tooling
The growth and success of a blockchain ecosystem greatly depend on the quality and accessibility of its infrastructure and development tools. The IoTeX Halo Grants Program encourages developers to build innovative and user-friendly infrastructures and dev tooling that make it easier for other developers to create, test, and deploy their projects on the IoTeX platform. By leveraging IoTeX’s advanced technology and W3bstream infrastructure, our grant recipients can create powerful solutions that help streamline and enhance the development process for the entire IoTeX ecosystem.
Example 1
### Decentralized Infrastructure Monitoring Tool
**Description**: Develop a decentralized infrastructure monitoring tool for the IoTeX network that allows developers to monitor the performance and health of their nodes, smart contracts, and dApps in real-time.
**Milestones**:
1. Design and develop a user-friendly interface for the monitoring tool, with customizable dashboards and alerts.
2. Implement monitoring and data collection for various aspects of the IoTeX network, such as nodes, smart contracts, and dApps.
3. Integrate W3bstream for secure data streaming and storage.
4. Test the monitoring tool on the IoTeX Testnet and address any issues or bugs.
5. Launch the decentralized infrastructure monitoring tool on IoTeX Mainnet, with ongoing updates and feature improvements.
Example 2
### Smart Contract Development and Deployment Toolkit
**Description**: Create a comprehensive smart contract development and deployment toolkit for the IoTeX platform that simplifies and streamlines the entire smart contract lifecycle, from creation to testing and deployment.
**Milestones**:
1. Develop a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and managing smart contracts, with built-in templates and examples.
2. Implement a comprehensive testing environment, including unit testing, integration testing, and performance testing capabilities.
3. Integrate W3bstream for secure data streaming and storage during smart contract development and deployment.
4. Test the smart contract development toolkit on IoTeX Testnet, gathering feedback and addressing any issues or bugs.
5. Launch the smart contract development and deployment toolkit on IoTeX Mainnet, with ongoing updates, new features, and community support.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.iotex.io/blockchain/participate/developer-grants/grant-verticals/infra-and-dev-tooling.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
