-- **Shielding** - an app that allows users to convert public tokens into a private form, perform an action, and then unshield back into original token.

-These projects would be implemented for Noir, but could be used for Aztec contracts as well:
-
-- **IDE language support** - we have some support with VSCode but would love to expand this through IDE features like auto-complete, hover for documentation, go-to function definition/references, etc. You can find our Language Server protocol [here](https://noir-lang.org/docs/nargo/language_server/)
-- **Ethereum History API** - trustlessly and optionally privately prove any piece of information that exists on Ethereum (e.g. token ownership, historical prices, protocol interactions, etc.) using Ethereum Storage Proofs in Noir - find example [here](https://github.com/Maddiaa0/noir-storage-proofs-demo)
-- **Regex support in Noir** - regular expression (regex) in Noir that provides a mechanism to perform searches, manipulations, and evaluations using regex patterns within the language; more info [here](https://speakerdeck.com/sorasuegami/ethcon-korea-2023-zk-email-on-chain-verification-of-emails-using-zkp)
-- **Hash Maps in Noir** - incorporate hash maps into Noir to allow devs to store and manipulate key-value pairs more efficiently

 These projects could be done for Noir or Aztec contracts:
 
 - **Boilerplates for more frameworks** - there are [Noir boilerplates](https://github.com/noir-lang/awesome-noir#boilerplates) and [Aztec boilerplates](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/tree/master/boxes) for a number of popular frameworks already. Consider creating one for your favorite framework if there isn't one yet.
