Answer

<u>Solution Overview</u>

A hub that doubles as a landing- and launchpad offering stakeholders (that are having a hard time with Catalyst and Ideascale) a personal and human centered on-boarding experience.

• Landing: personal and individual on-boarding into Catalyst
• Hub(ing): Mingling and ideating on proposals
• Launching: polished proposals

Facilitation via Discord (coordination), GitHub (documentation & tracking) and Twitter (outreach).

Collaborations with Hazelnetbot (automation, role and ID verification), ADAO (DAO tooling), SecretDecks (contribution tracking) and ADACafé with StakingDAO (Twitterspaces, outreach) are already ongoing and will deepen further within the hub.

ID/Role Solution

A separate ID/Role solution will be developed in the scope of this proposal:

DuckId will be a customizable Identification/Role solution. DAO's or other autonomous organizations will be able to request custom Identification for entire organization that are verifiable and unique by using a user provided 4-6 pin concatenated with the organization's name(or other chosen identifier).

• The DuckID can be used as an input in a script, releasing funds to specific users.
• The DuckID can be used to assign roles in a DAO/Server.
• The DuckID can be used to establish trusted users in a public space by requiring members to have a policy key minted with their unique identifier.
• The DuckID can be used as a voting tool, requiring each participant to possess a valid personalized ID with the policy number tied to a corresponding election.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

There are several areas of concern that we will be monitoring closely and providing additional resources to insure a successful delivery but here are the main points that we’ve identified:

1) User Engagement on all three platforms, github, discord, and twitter is the goal and we are aware that some participants will not engage on all three platforms.

Using the three platforms is one method of transferring some of the risk.

2) Redefining Community Hubs as digital centers of influence may be challenging for some to understand.

3) Properly connecting the three platforms for a seamless experience will require some trial and error.

4) Education and training on github, discord, and twitter could be a challenge if not addressed properly.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

Please provide a detailed plan and timeline for delivering the solution.

1 month - Prepare and launch the github, discord, and twitter thread and have on-boarded several additional participants to engage the stakeholders

3 months - Will have the three platforms providing data for the KPIs and should have on-boarded several groups of stakeholders, including SPOs and exchanges, or holders that used exchanges.

6 months - Will have entered into the scaling portion of the project and will have additional clones of these hubs for use by other community members.

12 months (with additional funding or already self sustaining!) - Expanded to additional social media platforms to engage additional stakeholders that are outside the main three platforms.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

DuckID OpenSource solution: 9k USD

Community management (2 persons for 6 months): 12k USD

Administration & documentation: 1.2k USD

<u>Total: 22.2k USD</u>

Please describe how you will measure the progress and the development of the project?

Tracking done in GitHub projects (ZenHub); Daily Check Ins (asynchronous Stand ups) of core contributors

What does success for this project look like?

Success for the project will be participation in Catalyst by stakeholders that were not actively engaged prior to this proposal, including new participants that were previously holding their ADA on exchanges and other stakeholders such as SPOs and exchanges, perhaps a Catalyst Native partner.

Another vision of success will be the duplication of this project in other languages.
