Please describe your proposed solution.
Our suggested course of action is to onboard 2-3 talented developers and assign them to work on core Cardano open-source projects, such as Boros, Dolos, Aiken, Milkomeda, and Cardano Gaming Guild's code base, as well as any other open-source projects that require additional developers or/and new open-source projects that are approved using this fund.
These projects play a crucial role in expanding the services on top of Cardano and are essential for the growth and development of the ecosystem. By dedicating specialized resources to these projects, we can deliver more rich experiences in our ecosystem.
Finding developers with the necessary skills and knowledge with Cardano technology has been a challenge. Therefore, we will have comprehensive trainings to bridge the gap and equip developers with the expertise required to work effectively on Cardano projects.
Contacted companies that agree to accept the resources of this proposal will provide the training, which will emphasize Cardano's potential and long-term worth in addition to its technical features. As part of the Cardano Gaming Guild, we are working with companies and projects collaboratively. Also, this should help with on-boarding as found on other blockchains.
By highlighting Cardano's unique features, scalability, security, and its aim to provide a sustainable and inclusive ecosystem, we can attract developers outside of the ecosystem and convince them of the value in dedicating their efforts to learning and working with Cardano.
The ultimate goal of this solution is to train more developers who can contribute to the growth and demand of the Cardano community. By expanding the workforce and improving developers' skill sets, we can sustain better growth and innovation within the ecosystem. Engaging in this role, I will establish coordination with several companies of the ecosystem that are well-positioned to facilitate the training and development of these developers, supporting the Cardano community in achieving its long-term goals.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
Accelerated Development: With a dedicated team of skilled developers and a shared open source code base, the progress and pace of development on these core open-source projects will significantly increase. This will result in the creation of more robust and feature-rich tools, enhancing the overall functionality and usability of Cardano for developers and users alike.
Strengthened Ecosystem: By expanding the workforce of developers with expertise in Cardano technology, we contribute to the growth and strength of the Cardano ecosystem. A larger pool of skilled developers means a broader range of projects and services can be built on top of Cardano, fostering innovation and attracting more developers and users to the ecosystem.
A More Integrated Ecosystem: Many people and projects in the Cardano Gaming Guild develop apps and dapps that interconnect Cardarno to Web 2.0 technologies. A new open-source code base can connect to these other projects allowing for developers and teams to easily develop and offer their dapps on the web, PC, Mac, Linux, Android and IOS markets.
Long-Term Value Proposition: By having easy to use tools and experts ready to help, this helps onboard teams and outside developers as well as current developers and project owners on Cardano. Through comprehensive training, we not only equip developers with the necessary technical skills but also emphasize the long-term value of Cardano. By highlighting its scalability, security, sustainability, and potential for future growth, we provide a compelling case for developers to dedicate their efforts to learning and working with Cardano. This helps cultivate a committed and knowledgeable developer community invested in the long-term success of Cardano.
Overall, our solution addresses the challenge by providing a specialized workforce, training them in Cardano technology, and focusing their efforts on core open-source projects. This approach brings benefits such as accelerated development, a strengthened ecosystem, and the attraction of skilled developers who recognize the long-term value of Cardano.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
Core Project Progress and Contribution:
- Number of contributions (code commits, documentation, pull requests, etc.) to Boros, Dolos, Aiken or any other open-source projects.
- Individual report by the developers.
- Report from the company of the ecosystem evaluating the progress of the tools being helped by the development team.
Regular monitoring and analysis of these metrics will provide insights into the effectiveness of the training program and the contributions made by the trained developers to the growth and development of Cardano.
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
The primary goal of this initiative is to instill a strong sense of confidence among developers, assuring them that they are part of a passionate community that will continue to support them in their pursuit of professional growth through the utilization of integrated Cardano technology. Additionally, we aim to promote community adoption by offering future services for other projects within our community, further strengthening our commitment to fostering a thriving ecosystem.
Achievements will be published on the Twitter Account of the Cardano Gaming Guild and shared with partnered projects.
