ADA Wallet for Salesforce plugs into ADA for Salesforce, the transaction app, or can be run on it’s own.
There are no ADA wallets with a UX/UI that is familiar to enterprise users who use Salesforce, the world’s leading customer relationship management (CRM) software.
Please describe your proposed solution
ADA Wallet for Salesforce is an open source solution for using Cardano Network to send payments, track payments, and otherwise manage a Cardano Wallet 100% in Salesforce. This plugs into ADA for Salesforce, the transaction app, or can be run on it’ own.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Having an ADA wallet that is simple for enterprise users who do not understand how web3 technology works has high potential to drive enterprise adoption of the scale, performance and security Cardano offers. Building our wallet would offer the following to the Cardano ecosystem.
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
We are already part of the prestigious Circle Alliance program with plans to develop USDC programmable wallets.
Our team includes globally renowned blockchain product and security experts and expertise with both Cardano and Salesforce development.
We already launched a commercial Blockchain Payments product on the Salesforce AppExchange for managing transactions in various cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. You can learn more from our demo and our pitch deck.
We also successfully received a grant from the XRP Ledger Foundation to build an open source XRP for Salesforce app, which we completed and plan to continue to expand upon as part of future grants.
