[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

A KYC Token can be a solution to this problem. A token, I will receive into my wallet as soon as I have verified in the respective app and which can even be transferred to other of my wallets without resulting in a security lack. This KYC token is valid for at least 3-6 month, so that I am automatically verified for each transaction where the KYC token is accepted. As soon as my wallet is connected, I am verified.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

A proper KYC token can decrease the time of verification for each crypto transaction where KYC is required. Plus it may even increase the willingness of Start-ups to implement verification to become more secure theirselves.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

If we are not able to find a way that a token can only be sticked to certain wallets, which actually belong to the verified person, the tokens could not be used due to security issues.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

Step 1: Assess security topics of the token e.g. transfer between wallets

step 2: Evaluate the requirements to become a KYC provider and define the end-to-end business model incl. Business case

Step 3: Set-up a prototype App including KYC verification and token generation.

Step 4: Set-up a list of projects and companies where a KYC token could be required and define a sales strategy

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

Step 1: USD 15.000

Step 2: USD 10.000

Step 3: USD 60.000

Step 4: USD 5.000

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

  • Ann-Kristin Mackensen: CFO at NMKR (previously NFT-MAKER)

  • External Lawyer: From our partner law firm

  • Senior Fullstack Developer

  • Designer / Front-end / Back-end

  • Sales Consultant

    [FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

If we are successful I would be happy to return to the next fund, because then we can really make an impact for the crypto companies with the funding money.

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

I will measure the outcome through reports / information I receive concerning KYC requirements for a company and for the App I need to see that the verification, token generation and transfer works. Then we need to start a use case with a partner who accepts our token to measure real-life transactions where KYC is required.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

A framework for creating KYC tokens, that is accepted from many customers, partners and companies and which can actually decrease the time of verification for a transaction.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.
