Please describe your proposed solution.

Well, the gaming industry is probably the biggest industry by value in the world. Opening the door for Cardano and cardano native assets to be used in the gaming industry and the metaverse seems like a very sensible way to build adoption.

I have built The CardanoVerse to demonstrate to other game developers how the cardano ecosystem can be applied to the gaming industry and brand building metaverse 3D virtual worlds.

By focusing on the epic Unreal Engine community there is a clear demographic and the possibility to introduce 18 to 45 year old people to the cardano ecosystem.

The effectiveness of this approach will be simply demonstrated by the number of users engaging with our games and our metaverse 3D World offerings.

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Without trying to duplicate the previous statements, the gaming industry is massive and attracts an open coming demographic that will be very attractive to the Cardano ecosystem.

The metaverse and 3D World concept is projected to grow massively over the next six years up to 2030, this concept, like e-mail on the internet, is not going to go away and early adoption is essential so that over the next six years prime movers will derive maximum benefits.

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

Again, success will be measured by the number of engaged users. This is why we have accessed the Fortnite platform as a proof of concept and also as a funnel to introduce our growing number of metaverses and 3D worlds to an established multi million community.

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

Our projects access and penetrate multiple communities, these communities are looking for opportunity to create value and also entertainment.

The communities we will impact include the following:

Cardano Community

Catalyst Community

Epic Community

The Game’s Community

125k + Carl Henry Global community

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Carl Henry global has been apart of both the Cardano and catalyst community for about two years, we have delivered on every funded project including building 8 integrated payment systems for Coti and promoting the building of Cardano hubs around the world.

Also in fund 9 we made proposals that would build upon our funded work in Fund seven and eight, unfortunately our fund 9 proposals did not attract funding, this did not stop us from continuing to self fund ongoing commitments in our fund 9 proposals. The Cardanoverse was a major undertaking and which we have delivered upon by publishing our first metaverse 3D virtual world on the Fortnite platform.

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

As outlined before, we prefer to show not tell or promise, The CardanoVerse exists and is published and available to over 400 million users of the Fortnite platform. You can visit and play today! Free!

Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

As using milestones as an approach we are now investigating how our approach can be broken down into a linear set of steps, we will update this part shortly.

Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Please see our previous response

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Most of the work to deliver this proposal will be carried out in house, although due to time constraints and occasionally specialised skill sets we will engage contractors, as we have over the last seven years, through the up work platform where we have spent over $100,000 which means we understand how to get value for money on how to engage the correct contractors as required.

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

This project, as others, will be managed by Carl Henry of Carl Henry global, I have extensive experience over 25 years of bringing together exactly the skills required to deliver on intentions. As I mentioned earlier we have delivered on numerous funded projects including creating software for the Coti payment system.

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

In addition to the thousands of hours that have been committed to this project and have been self funded, we are very adept at choosing the correct contractors and due to the bidding system on up work we will always be able to assess applications and ensuring that the best value for money is achieved.
