Budget Breakdown:
<u>Development:</u> ($70,000)
- Blockchain / Full Stack Developer ($35,000)
- Haskell Developer ($35,000)
The team has quit their jobs and since founded <https://ikigaitech.org> to pursue their passion of developing decentralized technologies on Cardano and Fluree and have been working hard the past few months. While we are mostly self-funded and special thanks to Catalyst community for our Fund5 proposal funded (Graph DB Sidechain with Fluree), development cost is expensive! We are in the process of bringing on a lead software engineer to help with this effort to continue the great work that Fluree recognized us for which lead to an official partnership :)
<u>Hackathon:</u> ($27,500)
- Marketing / Hackathon Organization ($2,500)
- Extensive Documentation and Training Materials both internal and outsourced ($5,000)
- Hackathon prizes ($20,000)
While there is still more to be built, we are proud of what we have been working on and are eager to get it out there to the community and see what everyone comes up with. In order to facilitate a smooth and successful hackathon, we are making sure to reserve funds for prizes and perhaps even more importantly, creating good documentation, support, and organization for a fun experience for the community!
<u>Floating:</u> ($2,500)
- Any unforeseen expenditures to ensure smooth hackathon and development experience
While we like to think we have most of our cases covered, there's no harm in reserving a small floating pool in case of a rainy day. If we ship without touching these funds, they will go back to the community in the form of hackathon reward money.
<u>Total:</u> ($100,000)
KPIs:
- # of libraries downloads
- # of views of download and views on training materials
- # of hackathon participants
- # of dApp created
