Please describe your proposed solution.

Connect with your fans and drive sales by giving token holders exclusive access to your merch, experiences, and more. Connect wallet, unlock next‑level shopping experiences!

Add to eCommerce stores and websites in 2 minutes. NoCode.

Web3 NFT Tokengated for eCommerces bridges NFT communities with your brand, on and offline. When token holders connect their wallets to your online store, they get special access to innovative commerce experiences - from exclusive collections and behind the scenes events to one-of-a-kind perks and more.

Add a tokengating app to your online store and decide which products, collections, experiences, and more will be made available exclusively for token holders.

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

Why does this matter? For one, it means that the future of Web3 shopping is about exclusivity. And while NFTs often are oversimplified as digital art, or “jpgs,” these unique blockchain tokens that signify ownership over an asset are increasingly being used as membership passes, tickets to events, and “keys” that unlock perks.

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

Success for this project can be defined:

• Real-time generated information for site users
• Amount of sharing on social networks
• Number of ecommerce / online stores with app
• Number of Web3 Experiences Unlocked
• Number of shares on specialized media sites
• Validation of feedback and platform improvements

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

We will give the community some sort of progress report as we go along, in the form of a monthly news release on Cardano Feed, to measure the progress of our proposal.

• We will also provide a panel to be disseminated within Cardano Feed, with the evolution of the project according to the Catalyst KPIs
• Number of hits to the website: 30,000
• Number of ecommerce / online stores with app: 50
• Number of the products with the Web3 NFT experiences: 300
• Number of connected Web3 wallets: 3,000
• Number of Web3 Experiences Unlocked: 3,000

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

Our team has previously been approved in 5 projects on Catalyst and all projects were successfully completed and with a project closure report containing all proof of delivery (4 projects in Fund 8 and 1 project in Fund 9).

Our team is composed of developers, UX / UI, Marketing, SEO, Marketing, Business and we developed the largest media coverage platform Cardanofeed.com, with more than 1,000,000 monthly visits and also the largest "Cardano Ecosystem" project directory (approximately 1,200+ projects).

Our team has already organized several official Cardano events for the community, including:

• Cardano at IX BITCONF 2022 - Exhibit Largest Blockchain LATAM BR (May, 2022)
• Cardano Summit São Paulo 2022 (November, 2022)
• Cardano Brasil Workshop CIP-1694 in São Paulo (July, 2023)
• LATAM CIP-1694 PanLatam Workshop - Punta Del Este / Uruguay (June, 2023)

We attended Cardano's global workshop on CIP-1694 Governance in person in Edinburgh UK (July, 2023).

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

As main objectives of the Web3 NFT Tokengated for eCommerces, Sites, Landing Pages and Conversion Pages project, we can validate that they will be achieved through:

• Bringing eCommerce and Websites to the Cardano blockchain.

• Provide an easy and friendly platform for ecommerces (virtual stores), websites, landing pages and conversion pages, to integrate in a simple way with Cardano's blockchain and have a powerful tool to offer to their users and customers.

• When token holders connect their wallets to your online store, they get special access to innovative commerce experiences - from exclusive collections and behind the scenes events to one-of-a-kind perks and more.

• Professionalizing Cardano's blockchain-connected tools and adding a tokengating app to your online store and deciding which products, collections, experiences, and more will be made available exclusively for token holders.

Lucas Fernandes - <https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-fernandes-silva/>

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

Manage workload:

We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.

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

Connecting Cardano's blockchain to the e-commerce and online sales ecosystem is a great asset that will bring visibility and utility to users, at an acceptable cost for implementing a project of this type.

Implementing a marketing and sales expansion tool that facilitates adoption and is easy to integrate with millions of online stores is an excellent value for integrating Web3 tokengating into ecommerces, websites, landing pages and conversion pages.
