Please describe your proposed solution

Solution Summary

The proposed solution is a comprehensive NFT Collection Dashboard that gives projects the ability to enables users to log in via their NFT wallets and view all their assets under a specific policy ID(s). The dashboard will feature digital trophies to recognize collection milestones, such as owning specific project policies, or collection traits, allowing users to track their progress toward these achievements. Additionally, it will include a competitive leaderboard and customizable profiles.

Solution Overview

This proposal seeks to develop the minimum viable product of an NFT Collection Dashboard with the following core functionalities:

Asset Display:

• Users can log in and connect their NFT wallet (wallet connector will be integrated separately).
• The platform retrieves and displays all NFTs under (a) specific policy ID(s) associated with the user’s wallet.

Achievements & Trophies:

• Automatically generated digital trophies based on collection milestones, for example for collecting at least one of each breed within a collection, completing all traits within a collection, owning 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 NFTs under a specific policy, and so on.
• Incomplete trophies will show a progress meter, indicating the percentage of completion, and live marketplace listings which will allow trophy completion will be promoted.

Profile Customization:

• Users can personalise their profile by selecting a profile name and choosing an NFT from their collection as a profile picture (PFP).

Leaderboard:

• A leaderboard will track and display users' achievements, allowing them to compare their performance with other collectors.

Marketplace Integration:

• For incomplete trophies, the platform will serve users with links to relevant NFTs for sale on external marketplaces, encouraging further collection completion.

Scrolling Banner for Top Sales and Listings:

• A dynamic banner displaying the top sales of the last seven days and recent marketplace listings will be included to keep users informed of market trends.

Wireframes will be created to visualize the user interface, while technical specifications will detail how the system will function, including the tools and platforms to be used.

• Output: Detailed project plan, including wireframes and technical specifications.
• Acceptance Criteria: Key stakeholders approve the project plan.
• Evidence: Project documentation, wireframes, and technical design documents.

Milestone 2: During this phase, the core user interface for the dashboard will be developed. This includes creating the front-end functionality that allows users to log in, connect their NFT wallets, and view their NFT assets based on a specific policy ID. The interface must be user-friendly and responsive, offering smooth interaction across devices.

• Output: Development of the basic dashboard interface and asset display functionality.
• Acceptance Criteria: Interface successfully displays NFTs under a specific policy ID.
• Evidence: Demonstration of the working dashboard in a test environment.

Milestone 3: This milestone involves adding gamification elements to enhance user engagement. We will implement the achievements module, which awards users digital trophies based on milestones (e.g., owning specific NFTs or reaching collection goals). Additionally, users will have the option to customize their profile, including setting a profile name and selecting one of their NFTs as a profile picture.

• Output: Implementation of the digital trophies system and user profile customization options.
• Acceptance Criteria: Users can earn trophies and customize their profile.
• Evidence: Completed module with documentation and user testing feedback.

Milestone 4: At this stage, we will develop the leaderboard system, which tracks user achievements and ranks them based on milestones. Additionally, the platform will integrate with external NFT marketplaces, allowing users to find missing NFTs to complete their trophies. This will involve creating links within the dashboard that connect to relevant marketplace listings.

• Output: A fully functional leaderboard and links to external NFT marketplaces are needed to complete trophies.
• Acceptance Criteria: Leaderboard accurately reflects user achievements; marketplace links work seamlessly.
• Evidence: Live demonstration of leaderboard and marketplace integration.

Milestone 5: In this phase, the platform will undergo thorough testing to identify and fix any bugs, optimize performance, and ensure the dashboard is ready for public use. User feedback will be gathered through testing sessions, and all necessary fixes will be implemented. Once stable and fully optimized, the platform will be deployed on the Cardano mainnet.

• Output: Thorough testing, bug fixing, and platform optimisation before launch.
• Acceptance Criteria: MVP is stable, user-friendly, and ready for public deployment.
• Evidence: Test reports, user feedback, and final deployment on the mainnet.

Final Milestone: In this final milestone, a comprehensive project report will be compiled to summarize the entire development process, key achievements, challenges, and outcomes. A video walkthrough will also be created to showcase the dashboard’s core features, highlighting its usability and key functionalities such as NFT display, achievements, leaderboard, and marketplace integration. The report and video will be shared with stakeholders for feedback and final approval.

• Output: Final project report and a video walkthrough of the dashboard, summarizing development and outcomes.
• Acceptance Criteria: Stakeholder approval of the report and video.
• Evidence: Completed report, video demo of core features, and stakeholder sign-off.
