Please describe your proposed solution

The solution will provide an interactive and fun medium for ADA holders to learn about governance. A open website featuring all the quizes will also make the resources accessible to everyone.

These resources will cover topics like voting processes, proposal submission, governance parameters, and the roles of different entities as well as basics about Cardano blockchain and ecosystem. The goal is to empower the community with knowledge to participate effectively in the decentralized governance model. Clear explanations, visual aids, and interactive elements will make the resources engaging and accessible. Additionally, highlighting real-world examples and potential use cases could help illustrate the practical implications of governance decisions.

Each quiz can be completed under 30 minutes, can be played at any time and for unlimited attempts.

Please watch the following demo to understand the user experience. This demo covers questions across Cardano. The same approach will be used for topics of Governance.

The community can test their knowledge as well as learn in the process at their own pace and will have a full coverage of Governance topics.

The primary sources for the creating the quiz content will be:

• CIP-1694 docs
• SanchoNet docs
• Intersect Knoweldge Base
• Cardano Forum
• Community created knowedge bases
• Channels like Intersect and IOG discord, Youtube etc.

A collection of 15 quizzes will be published during this 3 month project. The quizzes will be openly available in a public website and it will publicised on social media and community channels.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

The cost of the project is comes from research &amp; content creation as well as website hosting.

Budget:

Research and design of interactive quiz, 40 hrs per quiz - @ 30ADA/hr for 15 quizzes = 18000 ADA

Web hosting = 2000 ADA

Total budget : 20000 ADA

No dependencies

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Addresses a vital requirement: The success of Voltaire age depends on active participation of the community for which there has to be relevant resources for education on Cardano Governance related subjects.

Feasibilty: A demo has been shared showing feasibility of this idea.

Ease of tracking: The milestones have tangible and openly verifiable outputs for the community to keep track of the progress of the project.

Further the hourly rates sought are minimal at of 30 ADA / hour.

Intersect MBO has identified that with CIP-1694's on-chain governance, ada holders can fully participate by submitting governance actions, registering as DReps, or delegating. As Cardano enters the Voltaire age, openly available online resources are needed to educate the community about Cardano's governance mechanisms and components, promoting education during this phase.
