[5PC] Cardano Journey - Cardano Education Podcast Series for the Vietnamese Community

Please describe your proposed solution

REASON FOR SUBMITING THE PROPOSAL:

As a leading blockchain and crypto knowledge media team in Vietnam, we see a huge demand for investing in well-established blockchains, yet the interest in Cardano among new investors in Vietnam remains low. This stems from:

  • A lack of media channels that accurately understand Cardano's potential and long-term vision, partly because Cardano is an academically peer-reviewed blockchain.
  • The content delivery of Cardano information channels in Vietnam is not engaging enough.

On the other hand

  • Challenges for Beginners: New investors often don't know where to start with Cardano, despite the abundance of information on its media pages. This is because blockchain is a novel field, and users struggle to grasp the overall picture needed to identify a starting point for their research. Typically, they need real-life examples of people who have studied, invested in, and succeeded with Cardano to sketch out their own journey.

  • High Speed of Technological Progress on Cardano: Technological advancements on Cardano occur rapidly and extensively, such as the Chang hard fork, the Intersect organization, the SanchoNet governance network, the Midnight partner chain, as well as knowledge about various versions of Ouroboros, Hydra technology, etc. Normal investors typically do not have enough time and English proficiency to keep up with and fully understand these technologies and organizations to recognize Cardano's vision and potential.

  • Attracting New Investors and Developers to Join Cardano: New investors are easily attracted by airdrop projects or focus solely on short-term trends, leading to short-term investment decisions. Additionally, ecosystems fiercely compete for skilled developer resources. Cardano needs to maintain media presence to provide knowledge derived from thorough scientific research, thereby attracting long-term investors and new developers to participate in ecosystem development.

SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS:

Our team will produce a series of six high-quality podcasts (20-30 minutes per podcast) about Cardano over two months, featuring Advisor Do Manh Hung, to be published on the 5 Minutes Crypto YouTube channel. The series will focus on topics such as:

  1. Criteria for choosing a good blockchain project
  2. The journey to discovering Cardano
  3. How Cardano differs from the rest of the blockchain industry
  4. What has Cardano achieved so far?
  5. The limitations of Cardano
  6. Cardano: What's next?

Additionally, there are two backup topics or as requested by the community:

  1. How will Cardano respond to legal systems?
  2. Projections on the development of Cardano specifically and the blockchain industry in general

UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THE SOLUTION:

Why we choose Advisor Do Manh Hung

  • Advisor Do Manh Hung has been researching and investing in Cardano since the project's early days in 2017 and possesses deep knowledge of finance and blockchain.

  • He has been successful in various capacities with Cardano: as an investor, Stake Pool Operator (FIMI), and educator, inspiring the Vietnamese community about Cardano. He has participated in and received funding for multiple proposals through Project Catalyst and manages the FIMI community.

  • Highly respected in the Vietnamese Cardano community, Advisor Do Manh Hung consistently conducts livestreams to update information and explain Cardano’s technology to the Vietnamese community, motivating many members to participate and contribute to the ecosystem.

To ensure that the video receives the attention of the Vietnamese investor community. The video will be published on

The results will be compiled in a tracking file at 3 milestones and will be made publicly available for the community to verify. As for the interaction metrics, the community can check them directly on the videos posted on the channel

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

For the community: This proposal will help the Vietnamese community gain a clearer understanding of blockchain technology and how Cardano operates—one of the most popular blockchain platforms today. Viewers will hear about the journey of someone who has truly succeeded with Cardano, thereby gaining a proper mindset on how to participate in and invest in blockchain and crypto, beyond just marketing-focused and token-trading projects. Additionally, the videos will be well-produced in terms of visuals and content, making it easier for viewers to access and understand the topic. The videos will also highlight the potential of Cardano and the benefits it can offer to users.

For the ecosystem: The Cardano community will attract many investors who are interested in long-term investment and are ready to support the project. Additionally, it will help draw more talented Vietnamese developers to build products within the ecosystem.

To measure the impact of this project, we commit to producing 6 viral podcasts over 8 weeks, and we will measure effectiveness as follows:

  1. The series is expected to attract at least 56,000 views (each podcast at least 7,000 views after 2 months).
  2. The series is expected to attract at least 280 comments (each video has at least 35 comments after 2 months).
  3. The series will achieve a minimum of 4,000 likes, (each video has at least 500 likes after 2 months).

The community can verify these metrics through the videos published on

II - How to validate the feasibility of my approach :

Using a file to track the monthly progress is an effective method. Below is how this file can be designed and used to ensure transparency and build trust within the Cardano community:

File Structure: The file should be designed to be easily readable and understandable. It should include sections such as:

  • The number of podcasts produced and released.
  • The number of views and interactions for each podcast.
  • Monthly goals and comparative results.

Regular Updates: Update the information in the file monthly to ensure that all information is up-to-date and accurate. This helps the community have a clear view of the project's progress and effectiveness.

Transparency and Accessibility: The file should be publicly shared on an easily accessible platform, such as the community's website or on a social media platform. This allows all members to easily view and assess the progress.

Community Feedback: Encourage the community to contribute opinions and feedback on the tracking file. This interaction not only helps to enhance the level of trust but also provides valuable information for improving the project.

  4. Video Shooting: 2 individuals x 6 podcasts x 8 hours/podcasts x 15 ADA / hour = 1,440 ADA
  5. Video Editing: 1 individual x 6 podcasts x 16 hours/podcasts x 15 ADA / hour = 1,440 ADA
  6. Project Management and Reporting back to the community: 200 ADA/podcasts x 6 podcasts = 1,200 ADA
  7. Marketing and support community: 200 ADA/podcasts x 6 podcasts = 1,200 ADA
  8. Studio Rental and Equipment: 700 ADA /podcasts x 6 podcasts = 4,200 ADA

The total cost for this proposal is 17,352 ADA. The average cost per video is 2892 ADA.

Therefore, the proposed costs for each milestone are as follows:

  1. The proposed cost for the first milestone, which requires completing the first 1 videos, is 2892 x 1 = 2982 ADA. (16,67% total budget)

No dependencies.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

1- The cost level we propose has been optimized for each position. As this is a creative project with much higher video quality requirements than typical marketing projects, the individuals involved in this project must be carefully selected based on the criteria:

  • Have a minimum of 3 years of experience in the position they hold.
  • Understand the blockchain field and the Cardano ecosystem.

The cost for personnel ranging from $6 to $8 per hour is entirely reasonable.

To make the videos engaging, we need to hire a professional studio and specialized cameras. All these costs have been optimized at a reasonable level suitable for Vietnam.

2- We have taken a snapshot of the reference salary for experienced content writers in the Vietnamese market. Incomes range from 20 to 25 million VND, which translates to an average of $1,250 for 160 working hours, or approximately $7.8 per hour. We have carefully selected for this project possess higher skills compared to the personnel that other companies are currently recruiting.

3- We have divided the project into 3 important milestones. The first milestone is set for just 15 days after the start, allowing the community to comfortably assess how our team works, the quality of the product, and the positive impacts of the project on the community.

4- We have chosen an economical and efficient video production method to reduce costs. At the same time, we ensure that the project does not exceed the scope and that costs are reasonable. we also have determined an appropriate cost to ensure product quality is still guaranteed. we focus on using available resources and optimizing the production process to minimize unnecessary costs.

5- Comparison with similar projects: Our team has conducted research and comparisons with similar projects in the market to ensure that our cost rates are competitive and align with industry standards. This approach helps guarantee that resources are utilized both efficiently and economically.
