Please describe your proposed solution.

Solution:

• Creating MVP NFT Marketplace allows users to easily access, experience web3.0 based on Cardano Blockchain platform, create monetization opportunities and ensure safety, transparency and accuracy for users.

My project will provide users with some features:

• Users can protect their intellectual product by registering copyright.
• Users can list their intellectual products on the NFT marketplace MVP to buy, sell (transfer ownership rights). And rest assured that they will still be credited as the authors of those intellectual products because the transaction history records them as the initial owners of these NFTs, even though they no longer have ownership rights.

When users want to purchase any intellectual product, we have several options for everyone:

• Before considering purchasing a digital product from another marketplace or buying from current owners, you can verify and track the ownership rights of the product through our digital product ownership tracking page. This will allow you to verify the origin and transaction history of the product, helping you determine its authenticity. If you directly purchase a product on our NFT Market MVP, you will have access to the product's transaction history.
• Users can also sell their ownership rights to the product, and it will be directly listed on our NFT marketplace MVP.

Communication strategy:

• We will conduct some discussion online to the community to share about our project, and hire media KOL for this Dapp.
• We will build Youtube channels, Facebook, Tiktok to advertise about our dApp test.
• We believe that with communication strategy our project will be interesting and used by many people and will gradually replace web traditional.

Our team has conducted research on how to make the project approach to users. Therefore, any user, even those with limited knowledge or academic background in blockchain technology, can still use and interact with it easily.

This project is important for the Cardano Community because it will bring for Cardano a large number of people to the Cardano network.

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

Our solution directly solves the worrying challenge of many people:

• Promoting awareness and education:
• Educate and provide knowledge about Blockchain technology, NFT, web 3 to people.
• Protecting intellectual products property rights:
• Verify intellectual property rights helps prevent illicit activities on their intellectual products
• Giving people peace of mind in ensuring that they are the rightful authors
• Executing secure transactions:
• The transaction process will be more transparent than conventional transactions because they have to verify everything about the product like product information, transfer history, and transaction details
• When users have clear knowledge of the origin of a product, it helps build their trust during transactions and also prevents them from mistakenly purchasing counterfeit or ambiguously-sourced products.
• Promoting creativity:
• The owner will receive a royalty fee each time ownership of the product is transferred. Therefore, it will be a motivation for passionate and confident users to create intellectual products.
• This goal will help users generate a small income through intellectual property later.

Benefits for Cardano:

• Provide a platform trial: Our platform will bring user experiences to perform services such as mint NFT, buy and sell NFT exchange for users to gradually approach web 3.0
• Users participation: By providing web 3.0 experiences we will attract more people to the platform
• User’s positive feedback: Our platform will satisfy many people's need to experience and access Web 3.0 so that they can leave positive feedback about the platform and the community.
• Develop community: Our platform aims to provide web 3.0 experiences from creating NFTs to buying and selling NFTs. Users will have a practical experience, and gain more knowledge about Web 3.0, attracting users to join the community to expand community development.

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

We will base on the criteria:

• Platform User participation: Number of users participating in using the platform
• Services provided to users: Number of NFTs minted, number of transaction history retrievals, ownership verification of NFTs coming from users
• Community feedback: The number of user feedback is one of the important factors to evaluate the success of the project but the user feedback will provide us with the quality of our service, and the evaluation of the features that the service provides. services we provide, and suggestions for us to improve our products.
• Develop community: The number of people who know about and join Cardano through our platform.

In short, by the criteria that we set, we are sure that our project will soon be successful.

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

Plan to share output and results of project:

• Works on GitHub: GitHub is an environment where project code is stored, where team members can work together without working directly with each other, saves a lot of time for members, and can be public for everyone to see and measure our progress written in the proposal. Each weekend, the tech lead summarizes what the team members have done and will publish it on GitHub so everyone can follow our progress.
• Implement the marketing campaign, and product advertising.
• Implement promotional events, and discounts on services provided to users in order to attract users to the project.
• Create videos posted on social networking platforms such as Facebook, youtube, and Twitter to serve as documents to introduce and guide users to use the platform's functions.

The output of the project:

• If this proposal is funded and successfully completed the project. The product we launched is a dApp test that helps solve people's problems: securing the copyright of intellectual products, making transactions on the Blockchain more reliable, and becoming an easy-to-use, user-friendly dApp, and attracting many students.

• In addition, we will spend a part of the money received to market and advertise the project to users. Our first target audience will be people community (This is the largest part of users, this department has the easiest and fastest access to technology, and quickly grasps the most opportunities and trends in technology. so the project will quickly reach the department.)

• Currently, many people in Vietnam community still do not have much knowledge about Blockchain technology, NFT, web3, Cardano community, we will conduct a number of discussions, and seminars to share knowledge and disseminate to everyone. We used to be popularized, shared, and inspired by this, and now we want to continue spreading the word so that the community grows.

Next development direction:

If this project is successful, it will serve as a foundation for the team to develop and expand its scope, toward the people in Vietnam. This is also a topic that people in Vietnam are interested in and expect products that can solve their life issues.

• Deploy the platform to a production environment: Run dApp on mainnet network for Cardano.
• Expand service: Expand the NFT Marketplace by providing additional services and new features. For example, you can create a tool that allows users to create their own NFTs from various types of assets like images, videos, music, and even open-source code.
• Cooperate with artists and brands: Build relationships with artists ,brands, and pioneers in the NFT field to create a strong community and attract users. Organize digital art exhibitions, online events, or collaborations to develop unique products and introduce them to the community.
• Expansion into new fields: Explore new application fields for NFT technology, such as education, real estate, sports, or music. This can open up new business opportunities and attract potential partners.

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

Here are some pieces of evidence showcasing our capabilities to execute the project:
