Please describe your proposed solution.
Context and problem
Knowledge is always very important to everyone. Everyone knows knowledge is essential in blockchain or crypto. But where to learn knowledge, how to learn? That's the question we always get from our community.
There is a lot of knowledge related to Cardano, blockchain, or the crypto market, so which knowledge is necessary? Whether the knowledge-sharing projects have brought to the community the necessary and sufficient knowledge according to each person's needs.
- How can a website or blockchain knowledge-sharing project be evaluated?
- How does a knowledge education project or product retain its community?
- An educational product that is a knowledge-heavy course or training course is enough to reach all parts of the community and spread strongly enough?
- A knowledge-sharing platform that has diversified in all forms?
All of the above issues have been basically built by Vcoincheck.io from the beginning of 2022 until now with the sponsorship of the Catalyst fund (Please read our annual report file in the attached link.
However, the problem with all community development projects or teams is lack of funding until it can be self-sustainable.
- Most such projects after a period of time have to reduce the scale of activities, the quality of information and knowledge is reduced because there is not enough time to do it well.
- And then when the old team stops working, there are new teams that appear to do the same things but at a much greater cost.
The point above is not intended to discourage teams from creating new community-building projects.
The viewpoint here is how to maintain the old projects with the most cost-effective.
Here our solution
1. To expand the Cardano community in Vietnam and share Cardano knowledge with the world community,
- We implement the plan to build and develop the communities we are the managers like
a. Cardano ADA Vietnam facebook group – 46k members (maintain)
b. Telegram group - 550 members (expand)
c. Youtube, Twitter (expand)
- Share our knowledge of Cardano on official Cardano sources like forum.cardano.org, essentialcardano.io
2. We will keep maintaining the products we built like
- Crypto project review page: website vcoincheck.io
- Blockchain knowledge library, Cardano, Catalyst (https://vcoincheck.io/library and https://cardanolibrary.net/en/category/library-en/)
3. Continue to do the training, support, and form teams like us
- This work will be done through opening training courses, and blockchain knowledge with the following model:
- Format of a training course (1 month, 1 session per week, 3 hours per session) :
a. Instructor: Primary is a person who has good knowledge of blockchain, Cardano, and professional project evaluation skills.
b. To evaluate crypto projects for someone who has no blockchain's knowledge, we choose the easiest approach way that students learn how to evaluate Dapp layer's projects and specifically Defi projects (Because they are projects with the lowest of technology content and most widely available information, most accessible to everyone)
c. In each tutorial session, each student will choose a project for self-assessment through the instructor's advice and guidance. After that, all students will exchange and critique to improve their own knowledge. The instructor is responsible for answering all questions and omissions in the student's research paper.
d. After 4 training sessions, students will have enough basic skills to evaluate 1 scam project, 1 bad project, and 1 investable project. There is a certain amount of basic knowledge to be able to participate in the translation of technical articles.
e. During the training course, the instructor also supports 24/7 knowledge answering for students via the group's own telegram channel.

The impact
- The support to keep vcoincheck.io active will be proof of the community and Catalyst's support for community development projects. It will create inspiration as well as motivation for projects to continue operating and building community.
- The information and knowledge built on the Vcoincheck platform are selected and edited very carefully by the team themselves. So it can be used to share with other communities and projects.
- The knowledge articles of vcoincheck only have a rate of <30% copied from Cardano's sources. This saves costs and resources of community funds.
- The number of community members that our team is managing is in the tens of thousands, so information and knowledge about Cardano can reach a lot of people.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
If this proposal is approved, it will have the following benefits:
- Maintain and expand Cardano's presence in Vietnam on social media channels.
- Saving Catalyst budget: With more than 1 year of project implementation and operation experience as well as 2 years of community management and support. We have experience in maintaining and operating it in the most cost-effective manner.
- The world Cardano community continues to have a source to refer to information and standard knowledge about Cardano. (Most of the content on our Website is available in 3 languages English, Japanese, and Vietnamese)
- The existence of the project will also be a source of inspiration and lessons for the projects that can be developed.
Common benefits for the community when the Vcoincheck ecosystem continues to develop.
- Knowledge: People can contribute their own knowledge in return for the knowledge of others.
- Vcoincheck point: Vcoincheck point is the point system of the Vcoincheck platform, it can be used for the exchange of services, information, and jobs that have been and will be available on Vcoincheck.
- Money: Vcoincheck will have times to encourage the community to contribute or do jobs that the community is willing to pay for.
- Reputation: In the Vcoincheck ecosystem, all contributions will be converted into Vcoincheck points, this is the point to evaluate the reputation of individuals who have contributed a lot to the community. And we have always understood that a simple thing with a reputation is to be able to earn many things.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
The success of the proposal is measured by the following parameters:
- Number of members growing in media or social channels
- Number of news articles, and knowledge are posted daily.
- Number of interactions with our website.
- Number of trainees trained through training courses.
- Number of articles shared on official Cardano sources
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
- Our websites: Activities results will be shared in the form of articles on our 2 websites (vcoincheck.io and cardanolibrary.net)
- Social platforms: We share activities, project information through social networking platforms twitter, telegram, facebook.
