Decentralized Finance Scholarship for Spanish Students in the Cardano Ecosystem

Please describe your proposed solution

The growing boom in business in Web 3.0 and accessibility to knowledge requires discipline in its exercise and dissemination, so that its applicability develops in a favorable environment, which values and promotes innovation in terms of services and products oriented to real needs. in people's lives and constantly improving. That is why there is a great opportunity to develp a community and ecosystem in Spain with the Cardano platform, since national companies and industries do not know or have very little use and benefits of the services and products generated by the Cardano platform. In this sense, the project that is presented is aimed at empowering students through the creation and consolidation of decentralized finance . We will offer them training, mentoring and financial support with scholarshisp to start their on business in Cardano ecosystem using the Cardano platform based on the development of their digital economy proposals in their different lines of work. Within this framework, the student entrepreneurs trained and consolidated by this academic programme could support and increase with the use of the aforementioned platform offering its services and products with Cardano's blockchain technology that can improve business processes and thus consolidate and increase more followers and create a national digital economy with disruptive technologies and decentralized finance based on Cardano.

Description of the Solutions are:

Milestone 1- Student registration and selection process ( 1 month)

The fisrt step is the translations of the documents and videos that are necessary in the training of Cardano technology in Spanish will be carried out so that the information and knowledge transfer is more effective and reaches the participants.

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

The development of the proposal has a great impact for the generation of the expected results based on the investment and the benefit that this may offer to the beneficiaries of the project. The experience that has been had in the context of developing this type of project is of great importance since it allows its elaboration with costs that are the most real possible for its execution. In the context of the Spain economy, the requested investment can cover the expenses and purchases required for the project, they are of great importance for the development of the project and our economy is currently dollarized and the depreciation of the monetary sign allows us to be able to acquire goods and services that other countries with more stable economies are more expensive than Spain. In the cost benefit that will be obtained from milestone 1, it will allow consolidating the process of creating the material and acquiring the necessary equipment for the translation and writing of the training content, as well as being able to have the methodological and academic tools that allow the creation of curricula. suitable for training students. For example,the investment requested for milestones 2 and 3 to hiring the services of facilitators and mentors are focused on being able to have a highlevel staff that allows them to offer relevant training and that add value to student entrepreneurs that leads to the generation of successful ventures. The investment of the Cardano ecosystem in our project will allow it to be consolidated in our country, achieving greater adoption of the use of Cardano in the field of ventures and by the productive sector as a conduit for the acquisition of goods and services. international. In this sense, the requested investment of a total of is well justified because they are the core of the success of the project. We hope that our proposal can be funded in order to take advantage of a great opportunity to implement and consolidate the Cardano ecosystem in Spain
