Please describe your proposed solution.
on Cardano within the European community. Our solution leverages the European Cardano Community Town Hall as a central hub, facilitating collaboration, focusing on and exchanging information about EU regulation, and overcoming language barriers. By engaging key stakeholders, including Stake Pool Operators (SPOs), project teams, community members, and policymakers, our platform fosters knowledge exchange, strategic partnerships, and addresses the unique needs of projects building on Cardano in Europe.
Through regular meetings featuring guests from prominent Cardano projects and organizing multilingual Twitter spaces, we ensure inclusivity, broad participation, and cater to diverse linguistic needs. This approach enables us to connect with regional values, drive adoption of Cardano within Europe, and provide a platform for projects building on Cardano to network and share insights.
Utilizing impact measurement tools and feedback mechanisms, we will demonstrate the tangible outcomes of our platform, including increased collaboration among projects building on Cardano, improved knowledge about local regulatory compliance, and enhanced growth of the Cardano ecosystem in Europe. By offering a centralized platform that facilitates networking, knowledge sharing, and strategic alignment, our solution amplifies Cardano's visibility, adoption, and influence in the European market, strengthening its position as a leading blockchain platform.
Furthermore, we will actively foster alignment and collaboration with other regional Town Halls, such as the Eastern Town Hall and LATAM Town Hall, promoting cross-regional knowledge sharing and driving synergistic growth within the global Cardano community.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
As the platform that EuCardano is now, we already provide an open platform for established and new projects either based or operating also in Europe. Amongst others, we had as our guests in the likes of:
This is just a small list of the amazing people and projects that we had with us in our Town Hall.
In addition, we also had alignments with the other regional groups, for example:
Our goal is to expand on what we have already proven; connecting founders, providing insights to their projects and nurture the ground for fruitful discussions around their realms.
We strongly believe, that providing this extra information, we can elevate the discussions around projects to a mature level, liberated of speculation or witch-hunting. As these projects will be interconnected with “regular” users and other founders, their ecosystem and as such the Cardano ecosystem will grow and bond stronger.
With support for this community proposal we will be able to unlock at least four languages spoken in Europe and hence cover the vast majority of the continent.
Our community will find and co-create information regarding, but not exclusively related around EU topics. This Proposal were submitted in F10: Catalyst Open Challenge: Since Our proposal is not specifically related to the SPO tech community/activities, and apart from the Catalyst Fund Operations challenge, there is no other challenge focusing on building a Networking space like the European Cardano Community or funding operations like these. We are neither a start-up nor have the mechanisms of a DAO. As such we choose this challenge as it seems to fit best for what we are trying to accomplish.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
Our main intent is focusing on providing the exploration experience of Cardano the ecosystem in a nutshell. This requires at least two levels of description outputs:
- A birds eye view to understand the general intention and scope of a project
- A practical hands-on approach to understand how to utilize or interact with the project
With those levels of explanations at hand we’ll provide both, a quick entry point and a low-barrier connection into projects for investors, builders, and users.
These are some measures that we will track, to measure the interest of the events performed.
- sign-ups via Discord invites or other measurable links
- number of project profiles in the EuCardano Discord
- users attending our spaces / TH
- retweets of recordings after a YT publication
- activity on GitHub for research projects
- number of endorsements of participants/companies
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
We will share our findings and outputs on our website, which is hosted at GitBook on the community plan.
GitBook allows us to co-create on an open-source basis. As GitBook can be naturally connected with GitHub, the accessibility barriers for the community will be very low.
Our open-source approach allows the community to participate publicly and transparently in our issues. We expect an extension of our work, given the current activity of the Cardano community.
While we still see the challenge of getting yourself exposed to the public as a contributor, with GitBook we can at least provide a less technical experience than GitHub. And we are known to keep things extremely inclusive so that everyone should feel invited to participate.
New updates on GitHub issues can be linked from posts on Twitter.
