Please describe your proposed solution

The Cardano community needs an easy way to write, host, and share their knowledge with others. We will provide a comprehensive platform for that purpose, making the process of teaching, sharing, and learning Cardano-specific knowledge easy and intuitive.

• The platform will be multi-tenant, which means users can create their own dedicated website in our SaaS learning platform.
• The platform can be used to host any types of contents: blog, course, contest, lessons, videos, lectures, uploaded files, quizzes.
• The platform will support unique interactive coding exercises, which can be automatically graded by computer for an interactive learning process.
• Cardano-specific programming languages will be supported: Aiken, Opshin
• The platform will be Web3-enabled by allowing users to connect Cardano wallet for authentication and payment
• Educators and influencers can provide premium content and get paid via crypto payment

The platform will be free for every educator and influencer to launch their own knowledge-sharing websites.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Our Web3 Multi-tenant Learning platform with support for interactive coding exercises in onchain/offchain languages will help the Cardano community in many ways:

• It helps educators, developers, influencers… to create and share their knowledge easily without caring too much about the technical part. They just need to focus on their content.
• Users can create higher-quality training content with the help of various content types supported by the platform, especially the unique interactive coding exercises.
• Learners can have a chance to access better learning materials and reduce the learning curve of new blockchain and Cardano-specific technology.
• Ones who provide premium content can have an easy way to monetize them with crypto payment

Measuring Success

We'll track key metrics to gauge impact:

• Number of websites created and running on the platform
• Number of content created and shared from those websites
• Number of users (learners) who participated in the content (courses, contests…)

The platform will be free for every educator and influencer to launch their own knowledge-sharing websites.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

We are a very experienced development team both in Web2 and Web3 and we've already been working with the platform development and have the first working MVP on https://kodemy.io. With this proposal, we plan to make the platform multi-tenant and add more functionality to better support Cardano community, which is totally feasible for us.

What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

Requested Budget: ₳120,000

Cost Breakdown:

1. Development Team: ₳80,000
2. Infrastructure: ₳20,000
3. Marketing and Outreach: ₳20,000

No dependencies.

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

The requested fund is much lower than the actual development cost needed because we have already been working on the product and have released the first working MVP in advance.
