Please describe your proposed solution

Hold 365 Podcasts in Portuguese: over 1 year, daily. Episode duration between 10 and 20 minutes.

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 100 listeners per podcast. Through an incentive for participation: a draw will be held for a basket of promising tokens from the ecosystem estimated at US$10 per podcast.

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 100 listeners per podcast, through the draw to encourage participation.

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, REALFI, RWA, DEPIN, AI, GAME, NFTs and Utility projects with visibility and adoption.
