Please describe your proposed solution.

Hold 104 Meetups / Space in Portuguese: 52 on DEFI and 52 on NFTs, over 1 year, 2 weekly meetings.

They will have the format of an update leaflet on the ecosystem's projects combined with space for clarifying doubts and discussing points of view/sharing experiences. Promoting mutual aid, community growth and adoption of Cardano ecosystem's protocols.

We plan to reach an audience of at least 50 listeners per meeting. Through an incentive for participation: a draw will be held for a basket of promising tokens from the ecosystem estimated at $25 USD per meeting.

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

The audience for this proposal is the Portuguese-speaking Cardano community. The benefit we want to achieve is to give this audience access to quality information about the ecosystem, which they would otherwise have difficulty with due to the language barrier.

Information equals freedom of opportunities.

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 have been holding these meetings for a year, with a minimum audience per meeting of around 30 participants.

We have a plan to increase the audience to 50 listeners per meeting, through the draw to encourage participation.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Labor

104 meetups * 4 hours (2h prepation + 2h execution) = 416

2 people team: 416 * 2 = 832h

$25 labor: 832 * 25 = $20800

Encouraging participation

104 meetups * $25 USD for draw =$2600

Total Requested

$20800 + $2600 = $23400

ADA/USD exchange rate: $0,38. (November 30, 2023)

Total requested funds in ADA: 61.579 ADA.

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

A substantial part of the success of projects in this market comes down to supply and demand, projects need to have a robust product, which solves someone's pain, which creates real use cases desirable by the public, but if these products do not reach the knowledge of masses, the project will not be successful.

The cost of implementing this proposal is low compared to the benefit of promoting the ecosystem to non-English-speaking audiences, benefiting a large number of DeFi and NFT projects with visibility and adoption.
