Please describe your proposed solution.

Background

Within the framework of Society 5.0 (human-centered society that balances economic and technological advancement to solve society’s problems), our proposal it’s to generate a technological platform that allows to safely manage all "heritage succession" procedures for an individual in a planned manner, and thus avoid emotional and financial stability in the event of a sudden death of their relatives.

The mortgage rate has decreased steadily during the last 50 years while life expectancy has increased to 73 years old, even though 9 of 1,000 people died annually around the world, generating one of the three most stressful moments in the life for a person, the death of a family member.

According to the world Assurance study mentioned that 50% of the people are uninsurance and 70% of the families that lose a relative are not prepared financially to face this issue, which might lead to the second most stressful moment in life, bankruptcy. Just to don’t leave you with the doubt, the third most stressful moment it’s the Divorce.

We believe that most people postpone the planning phase due to lack of information and a lot of effort trying to identify Institutions, Organizations that provide the type of services that align with their values, and expectations, additionally the are no tools in the market to foster the growth of confidence about talking to planning your death.

Description

The proposed solutions “DIGITAL HERITAGE” it´s the frst metaverse marketplace build on a safe technological platform that allows to manage all "heritage succession" procedures in a planned manner, and thus mitigate emotional concerns through financial stability for their relatives, in the event of a sudden death.

The DIGITAL HERITAGE platform address three interrelated pillars, which together can generate more catalytic, transformative, and systemic changes in the society.

Our proposal considers:

• Create an innovative metaverse platform with a friendly user experience backed by Cardano blockchain ecosystem feature with transparency, security, integration, privacy, and scalability to gain trust as a competitive advantage.

• Build secure integration with vendors to enable an WEB 3.0 e-commerce Marketplace that allows to storage electronic documents in a digital Safe Vaults as (Passport, IDs, Contracts, Invoices, will, deed, or any personal document), the purchase and trust of Digital Assets as criptocurrencies, access to Legal consultation services, safe management of virtual and physical exchange or bank accounts, access to insurance services, managed in the Cardano Blockchain.

• AI capabilities built on a Virtual Asistant & Smart Apps that allows users to interact with a digital concept and gain knowledge and cultural behavious around planning your Heritage. Access to automatize any particular actions after death using Cardano smart Contracts, as release of Insurance Contracts, access to Will, specific instructions in the will, release of funds, all managed through a Proof-of-Life trade-mark service manage through Blockchain infrastructure.

What used to be a utopia is now a reality, by taking advantage of the technological development in Metaverse Cardano, Blockchain Cardano, Web3.0 Cardano, centered on the human being, we enable a truly valuable solution for people around the world, personalized and scalable by country.

Supporting this solution by Cardano environment, being one of the biggest names in the Blockchain industry it’s the pivot to take this project to the moon.

Other benefits for the end user,

• Participants can also bring their avatars or make their own, and interact with other users in a social network, among the digital services converted in digital contracts linked with workflows that triggers smart contracts according to specific rules.
• Additionally, assets that can be sold and purchased in the metaverse.
• Virtual Reality (VR) offer users an immersive experience by blending the real world with a digital environment. User interface might use a smartphone or laptop with headset to navigate through a realistic virtual space similar to real-world surroundings, making it fun and thrilling and motivating users to spend more time on the platform.
• The AI technology supports the experience to interact with external service providers that drive you to a specific checklist of end-of-life services, from estate planning to a final Video message to your family, passing through the administrative activities to maintain your family safe as insurance contracts, funeral services, or send instructions or documents.

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

During the pandemic, any one of us knew a case/event in which another family was impacted by a sensitive death of a family member, relative, or friend due this horrible virus COVID-19.

Unfortunately for many of them this not only included emotional suffering, but also mental reactions as anger, guilt, or physical reactions that might generate illness. In other cases, this lead to temporal or medium term financial problems, but in general most of their day to day lives were sudden impacted and change.

Nowadays it’s needed to say that there are different On-line companies offering special services for end-of-life planning to help people to plan accordingly. They all know that End-of-life decisions can be overwhelming but making those choices when you are healthy gives you more control. Their pain point is that it´s digital experience finishes while you pay for the service and receive your Service confirmation or Insurance Policy.

Every action from them it´s isolated and cannot be integrated with other services, so the main idea for this solution it´s to integrate the whole End to End process into a single ecosystem.

Using BlockChain technology in the Cardano ecosystem opens a bundle of new opportunities which supports the integration with Vendors and embed new platforms with latest technologies enabling seamless interoperability and data sharing across a virtual world.

• Adoption - By solving real problems, our project can attract new users to the Cardano ecosystem

• Innovation - Use cases for integrating AI, metaverse and blockchain and practical applicability of Cardano blockchain

• Beyond - fulfill Cardano's capabilities in practical and meaningful applications and support society by resolving problems

In case we don’t have the full expertise, we can combine different knowledge and expertise from other team of blockchain experts with more extensive metaverse knowledge & experience which will help us to access to the latest technologies & resources or creative designers to build user-friendly platform designs for an immersive and engaging experience.

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

Despite of difference in cultural behaviors, race, geographical locations, economic, education, political, or social conditions the “Human being” around the world, most commonly procrastinate when talking about planning a death, so the main goals for the project are:

• Create the first e-commerce metaverse platform to plan in life your death, enabling users to meet, share and socialize, with people across the globe in hyper realistic virtual space.
• Strength cultural behaviors regarding “Heritage” with an AI virtual assistant “HERI” that will conduct you to different environments in the Metaverse marketplace (insurance,Legal Wills, Burial, Digital Vaults, Gratitude Videos, etc) to take the best decision according to your needs creating your “Personalized Heritage Plan”.
• Navigate in a Trustful, Safe, Secure, Innovative and easy environment, supported by the best Blockchain ecosystem Cardano, to drive our users to make one of the most difficult, secret and personal decisions in every peoples life, which is planning in life your death.

Our idea for “Digital Heritage Metaverse” was analyzed to understand the target audience and the portrait of our customer. We challenged the concept, asking ourselves if the approach and perception was valuable.

In a 2020 survey, Gallup found that about as many U.S. adults, 45%, say they have a living will as say they have a will for their assets. Living wills, which specify people's preferences for medical treatment in the event they are unable to communicate those in the future, are, like financial wills, much more commonly held by older than younger Americans. Only 20% of Americans younger than 30 years old have a will.

This assessment drive us to understand who might be “our potential customer” and understand its needs and expectations, before building the right proposed design.

Delivering a high-quality valuable solution that succeeds in its initial phase can be a difficult task, so to tackle this concern we propose to integrate and validate these considerations in on our project scope:

1. Product usability must be a key topic to consider
2. Product architecture must be compliance by design

Regarding “product usability”, we consider identifying the target audience and its potential market based on specific needs.

As defined by Dinis Guarda in his lecture Society 5.0 – A Human Center Society, “the values are created through innovation and enable the provision of products and services finely tailored to diverse individual needs.”

In that sense, our solution proposes to reduce stressor conditions like the death of a family member or bankruptcy due to ill-distributed inheritance, both might create a health condition near future.

Our solution focus on avoiding those conditions promoting economic development, ensuring that all will definitions of a person should be planned and inherited through a fast and transparent actions supported by Blockchain technology in the best ecosystem Cardano, mitigating economic and social problems in the families.

About product architecture, one key success factor its to promote a great partnership between Stakeholders, as could be the “Catalyst Program” and the implementation team (Development, Program managers, and Business Analyst)

Additionally, we will link every target or milestone of our project plan to a tangible benefit or KPI, by example for developing the user interface, we identify that the way to measure might be with the likelihood of “end user experience”, expecting to be 60/40 of the cases.

That will be completed through specific immersion sessions with a target group using questionaries and testing the tool to measure it.

Other tangible benefit to achieved might be the “percentage of readiness of our development team working with specific Technologies as Metaverse, virtual Reality, Security Management so in the “development phase for metaverse” we will use as a tangible benefit the level of expertise in our team to develop specific technologies done through a series of certifications and testing in the team.

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

In the context of family and death in our Country, which is Mexico, we see the death as something that it meant to be sooner or later, and as we mourn death we also celebrate with humor and joy. The cycle of life is vividly present, and we celebrate and mourn these transitions together.

We want to honor those moments in the best way possible, and help people on building its own individual legacies, there are family legacies tied to each family’s culture, lore, traditions, values, and contributions to society that should be honor and saveguard.

We believe that this is a disruptive idea, which it’s to create an experience “for individuals” to Plan and Manage its heritage and death planning using one centralized platform in which you can integrate and capture every moment that you expect to have at the end of your trip in this world, from planning your heritage to release your Crypto funds safeguard with your private keys, or considering to share with thousands of people that video message with your last words.

The disruptive idea it’s to have the whole year opportunities to plan and not limiting to one time or specific time of the year but establishing the right conditions to promote end-of-life planning the whole year any time and any “moment” considering a vast diversity of alternatives.

Our proposal includes to democratize end-of-life planning and care alternatives, to help the society through the technology provided by Cardano ecosystem.

As the main target of this solution, it´s focus on the massive consumption market, we truly believe that this could be a great case for Cardano to be more known by people not only represented by technology or close to technology, but the normal “persona” that will be willing to be closer to a safe and easy to use marketplace to enjoy a great user experience.

We are not only participating in the case for receiving a budget or financial support but also to invite the full CARDANO Community to be part of this idea.

We also invite Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of the blockchain engineering company Input Output Global Inc. (IOKH) to be the image for the solution and become a mentor, a people governor, a teacher for communities, an ambassador for a great cause.

We ask Charles Hoskinson to continue his great support to society, and will his personal legacy reflecting his values, standards and beliefs impacting of every ones families and friends in future generation in the “DIGITAL HERITAGE METAVERSE”
