This proposal was approved and funded by the Cardano Community via Project F10: Developer Ecosystem - The Evolution Catalyst funding round.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Problem

Integration of Cardano blockchain technology into traditional video game products is a lucrative market that, we believe, has the potential to deliver concrete benefits to all parties involved. Users of video game products integrated with the blockchain stand to gain "real ownership" of their digital assets and identities. Developers of gaming products gain both additional monetization opportunities and, potentially, the ability to offload transaction logic onto the blockchain. The Cardano ecosystem benefits from increased adoption by ordinary users who may not have any interest in decentralized finance products.

However, as things stand now, integration is simply too costly and difficult to be viable for many game developers. A typical Cardano dApp (including both the on-chain and off-chain components) typically requires three components: 1) Smart contracts to be executed on-chain. 2) A browser-based light wallet that allows users to ergonomically interact with the dApp. 3) An application backend (plutus-apps, CTL, GeniusYield Atlas) that provides the "glue" (building transactions, applying arguments to parameterized scripts, balancing transactions, collateral creation or selection, etc) which facilitates a convenient experience for users interacting with the blockchain.

This architecture is not suitable for video game products. Although several game engines implement rudimentary embedded browsers, those embedded browsers are not fully-featured and cannot support the extension-based light wallets used in the conventional dApp architecture. While a game developer could (at least hypothetically) route interactions with the blockchain through a user's browser-based wallet, this leads to an awful experience for users who must configure a light-wallet outside of the game and break immersion (e.g. by "tabbing out") every time they seek to perform an in-game action that interacts with the blockchain.

If game developers wish to integrate Cardano's blockchain technology while maintaining ergonomics for the user, they must develop their wallet and integrate it into their engine of choice. It stands to reason that even game developers who are very enthusiastic about blockchain integration would hesitate in the face of this technical barrier (which falls well outside the expertise of a typical game developer).

Solution

We propose that the best solution to this problem is the obvious solution: Integrate light wallet functionality directly into a game engine while providing high-quality documentation and ample examples. This removes the largest barrier to entry facing game developers wishing to integrate Cardano's blockchain technology into their products.

We believe the Godot game engine represents the most promising avenue for wallet integration. Godot is an open-source engine, which greatly simplifies the work needed to quickly get wallet support up and running. Additionally, Godot is quickly gaining significant adoption, particularly among indie developers (who, we believe, are the most likely to develop innovative blockchain integrations and experiment with new designs and revenue models). Furthermore, because Godot is free and open source, there are no licensing requirements or fees attached to its usage - which makes it attractive even to large game studios. (We note that Godot has recently been used by a major studio to develop a Sonic game, which demonstrates that it is suitable for both small-scale and large-scale development). Finally, Godot supports a robust system for extending the core engine (GDExtension), which promises to make the development of Cardano integration tools relatively painless.

Of course, while light wallet functionality is necessary for blockchain/gaming integration, it is not sufficient for a maximally ergonomic developer experience; ideally, both the application backend and the light wallet would be tightly integrated into the engine.

Subsequent paragraphs in this section will address our strategy in technical detail, but in broad strokes, our approach is: I) Determine if CTL (Cardano Transaction Library, a dApp backend developed by MLabs that supports basic wallet functionality) can be bundled and made available as an extension. II) If CTL can be bundled as a Godot extension, bundle it, test it, and write high-quality documentation. If it cannot be bundled, build a basic light wallet on top of CML (Cardano Multiplatform Library), test it, and write high-quality documentation.

Technical details

CTL is a Plutus application backend written in PureScript which can run either in a browser or node.js environment. In addition to its application backend functionality, CTL implements features necessary for minimal wallet functionality, and therefore a CTL extension to Godot would solve both the “client needs a wallet” and the “server needs an application backend” problems in one stroke.

Node.js provides a C++ embedder API (<u>https://nodejs.org/api/embedding.html</u>). Godot provides both an extension API (GDExtension) which supports C++, and a C++ "custom module API". Our research indicates that it should be possible to package CTL and bundle it either as a GDExtension or a C++ module, which we could then build upon (to improve ergonomics) and document. This is the optimistic "happy path" for the development of the project.

However, as every experienced developer knows, things that should be possible in theory can turn out unworkable in practice. Because we are committed to delivering a solution with our requested budget and in our requested time frame, we have a backup plan if bundling CTL is not a viable approach: Build our light wallet functionality on top of well-tested and widely-used core libraries.

CML (Cardano Multiplatform Library, written in Rust) provides the core functionality upon which wallets and other blockchain utilities can be built. Both of these libraries are widely used in the Cardano ecosystem and are presumed to be reliable (critical components of many dApps currently deployed to mainnet are built on top of one or the other).

We anticipate that building minimal wallet functionality on top of CML and bundling it as a GDExtension (for Godot v4) or a GDNative package (for Godot v3) can be accomplished very quickly. For a game-client wallet, a simple single-address wallet capable of signing transactions and sending funds to other wallets will suffice for the vast majority of use cases, and CML provides all of the necessary infrastructure to rapidly build this solution.

Finally, given the nature of this project (which aims at reducing the complexity required to integrate the Cardano blockchain into gaming products), high-quality examples and documentation are every bit as important as the Godot modules/extensions. Consequently, producing those examples and documentation is an essential component of our proposal. A solution that only experienced Cardano developers can make use of is, in this domain, not much of a solution at all.

Market

Amateur & professional game developers who wish to integrate Cardano with their products. Cardano developers who wish to branch out into gaming products. Indirectly, mainstream consumers of gaming products.

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

Intended Challenge – Developer Ecosystem - The Evolution

Challenge Question – "How do we equip and support developers with tools and working infrastructure? How do we make Cardano their first choice when it comes to building dApps, innovating and collaborating?"

What does this proposal entail?

We believe the scope of this proposal is eminently achievable with our requested budget and time frame. To recap from a previous section, our "happy path" only requires that we successfully bundle CTL and package it as a Godot module. Our "unhappy path" only requires us to implement very basic wallet functionality on top of well-tested and widely-used libraries.

How does integrating a wallet into Godot help developers?

At the moment, any developer wishing to integrate Cardano blockchain technology into a game product must develop their own wallet and bundle it into their application backend. We anticipate that a well-documented Godot wallet (and, optimistically, application backend) will greatly increase the number of game developers able to integrate Cardano technology into their products, which is very likely to foster innovation and experimentation and vastly increase the quantity and type of products that can be built on the Cardano blockchain.

Is this project feasible based on the proposal submitted? Does the plan and associated budget and milestones look achievable? Does the team have the skills, experience, capability and capacity to complete the project successfully?

The goals are concise and align with the challenge setting. The core project milestone is very specific and well-demonstrated with explanation for working items. I can see that this part lack crucial information which is % grant amount, final acceptance milestones (read the statement of milestone for further information). The deliverables, outputs and outcomes are corresponding to the activities and reflective of the objective.

MLaps is a company known for developing applications and tools on the Cardano ecosystem. They have successfully completed previously funded projects by Catalyst. In this project they also present technical problems and solutions in a clear and understandable way. With the milestones, timeframe and budget they set, I think this project is feasible.

The team stated that they have a strong and talented workforce who has been building on the Cardano ecosystem, as well as implemented some projects on Cardano. However, the team has not explained how their project become measurable. The goals are provided clear enough, but there is no number included which is really important for both the project and the community to measure the outcomes. Looking to their process, they provided a detailed plan with milestones and exact tasks to accomplish with timeline.

Yes, the proposal has a clear set of milestones and timelines that can be used to track its progression. The team has more than enough experience to deliver this wallet integration and also have shown their ability to finish projects in the past.

The proposal provides a thorough overview of the activities and milestones needed to successfully integrate the light wallet into the Godot gaming engine, earning the project a solid rating for feasibility. The group appears to have a well-defined strategy in place, along with backup measures in case the main course of action encounters difficulties. The team has earned the public's trust and accountability by virtue of its performance and experience in the Cardano ecosystem. However, the timely completion of the project and effective completion of the milestones can further support the economic feasibility of the project.

The proposal presents a comprehensive project plan with specific tasks, deadlines, and milestones, covering research, development, testing, and documentation. The scope is well-defined, with a well-considered budget for documentation, development, and integration with the Paima Engine. MLabs, a top consultant in the Cardano ecosystem, will carry out the project, with experienced engineers and adequate funding. The proposal addresses issues like internal communication between Godot and JavaScript library and technological challenges in integrating off-chain frameworks. It has a high feasibility grade, with clear strategy, backup plans, and adequate budget and resources. Further technical skills information could enhance the feasibility demonstration.

Based on the proposal submitted, the project is feasible. The proposer, MLabs, is a reputable consultancy in the Cardano ecosystem with a proven track record and significant experience. They have successfully delivered complicated projects in the past and have a portfolio of satisfied client projects and several popular Catalyst projects. The proposal outlines a clear plan and approach for integrating Cardano's blockchain technology into the Godot game engine, addressing potential technical challenges through contingency plans. The plan presented in the proposal includes well-defined milestones and tasks, with a breakdown of the expected timeline for delivery. The project's milestones appear achievable, and the proposer has outlined specific deliverables for each milestone. Additionally, the proposer's commitment to transparency and accountability through sharing progress and outcomes via the GitHub repository, community updates, and compliance/documentation efforts further supports the project's feasibility. The proposer, MLabs, boasts a team of seasoned engineers with expertise in their respective fields. They have demonstrated their capability to deliver complicated projects, and their experience in the Cardano ecosystem adds credibility to their ability to handle blockchain integration. The team's strong track record and expertise provide confidence in their capacity to complete the project successfully. As per the proposal, the proposer has participated heavily in the Cardano Catalyst project and has publicly provided transparent and precise progress reports. This demonstrates a commitment to accountability and managing funds responsibly. However, since the actual management of Treasury funds is subject to verification by relevant parties, including the Cardano community and fund administrators, the proposer's capability to manage Treasury funds will be assessed based on their performance during the project and adherence to the outlined plan. Overall, based on the information provided in the proposal, the project appears feasible, with achievable milestones and a capable team. However, the actual success and capability to manage Treasury funds will be subject to evaluation and verification during the project's execution and progress reporting.

Based on my review of the notion, I price the feasibility of this mission as 4 out of 5, for the subsequent motives:

• The plan and milestones seem thorough and viable within the proposed eight month timeline. The breakdown of responsibilities, deliverables, and results for each milestone demonstrates that the crew has given cautious thought to the scope and feasibility of the venture.

• The applicant, MLabs, is an skilled Haskell and Plutus consultancy with a verified track document of delivering complex tasks. Their crew consists of developers with knowledge in clever settlement improvement, useful programming, and blockchain integration.

• The applicant recognizes potential demanding situations and has mitigation strategies in place, which includes the ability to pivot to using the Cardano Multiplatform Library if bundling CTL as a Godot extension proves unworkable. This demonstrates a sensible method to feasibility.

• The cost and price range seem affordable given the scope of work. The breakdown of hours in line with venture aligns with the proposed milestones, and the hourly charge used to calculate the finances is conservative.

• The applicant has partnered with experienced teams like dcSpark and Paima Studios to help with positive aspects of the undertaking, which improves the possibilities of fulfillment.

Some factors that might probably limit the undertaking's feasibility consist of:

• Technical hurdles that prove extra tough than anticipated when bundling CTL or integrating it with Godot.

• Unforeseen compatibility problems between CTL/Lucid and the Godot game engine.

However, universal I accept as true with the applicant has a sturdy risk of achievement primarily based on their abilities, revel in, realistic technique, and contingency plans.

MLabs, a leading consultancy in the Cardano ecosystem, with a proven track record and extensive experience, aims to provide a native Cardano light-wallet experience to the Godot engine and a Godot SDK for constructing Cardano dApps/games. The project milestones include integrating the chosen off-chain framework with wallet functionality, all off-chain features, and an extension API, along with comprehensive documentation and examples, and completing Paima Engine integration. The team consists of talented developers who have contributed to community projects like Liqwid, SundaeSwap, Minswap, and Optim. With the feasibility rated at 4 stars, the project is deemed highly feasible based on the proposal, team's capabilities, and understanding of risks and mitigations.

Timeline & milestones are listed accordingly, which looks reasonable in a time span of 8 months. The team behind the proposal are solid and has many working product. I have confidence in them. the cost breakdown could have more details, but its sufficient to say that the project is feasible.

MLabs, a team with a proven track record, extensive experience in the Cardano ecosystem, and seasoned engineers, is well-equipped to deliver a project with high trust and accountability. Their main goals include providing a native Cardano light wallet experience to the Godot engine and potentially offering a Godot SDK for constructing Cardano dApps and games. The validation approach involves thorough research, the implementation of basic features, and testing internal interfaces. The project milestones are clear, providing a roadmap for the development process with well-described deliverables and intended outcomes aligning with the overall goals. The team's documentation and examples will be valuable for developers seeking to use their technology. However, there is still risk involved, and the final judgment on feasibility will depend on the team's execution and ability to overcome potential challenges throughout the development process.

The project seems doable based on the stated breakdown of tasks and milestones. The duties are divided into logical steps that clearly explain the development process, and the strategy is well-documented. The off-chain infrastructure, wallet functionality, and extension API are just a few of the crucial elements that the team has identified as being essential for a successful integration. Each milestone is anticipated to take between one and one and a half months, which sounds fair for the project's timeframe. The team has also thought about alternate strategies and has a backup plan in place in case the main strategy runs into problems. This shows that the project's complexity and potential risks are understood realistically. The team has demonstrated a strong awareness of the technical components involved in the integration, which is indicative of capability and capacity.

Is the funding amount requested for this project reasonable and does it provide good Value for Money to the Treasury?

The budget breakdown is transparent and particular in terms of rate/working hour. The team is powerful and I suggest that they can clarify their responsibility/SOW to proves the proper allocation. I’m into the argument they make for their project about its value for money and fr Cardano and for what I’ve said, I rate this part 5.

I think this project is of great value to the Cardano ecosystem as well as to game developers who want to integrate blockchain into their games. However, I think the budget they ask for is still a bit more than the value they bring. Therefore I review 3 stars for value for money.

The funds for each part of the project is clear but it has insufficient information about how they allocate the budget in each part. They should include more extra parts inside each milestone so that the others can fully comprehend how the funds will be allocated. The team has a wealthy experience in building projects on the Cardano ecosystem with members building some of the most popular defi platforms on Cardano. All of the core team members’ information is clear with relevant information to show their ability to run the project.

yes, the games industry is a natural market for blockchain technology. An easy-to-use wallet integration tool would greatly benefit game developers. The budget requested, plus the breakdown of expenses is enough to justify the amount requested from the treasury.

The amount of financing asked for the project appears appropriate in light of the size of the project, the level of team experience, and the potential benefits to the Cardano ecosystem. The proposal places a strong emphasis on open-source deliverables and thorough documentation to guarantee that the project's results may be used by a larger audience. Additionally, the application of blockchain technology in the gaming sector creates additional development and adoption opportunities, making it a worthwhile investment for the Cardano Treasury and the community.

The proposal has the ability to have a positive effect on the Cardano Ecosystem overall and shows promise. The project seems to be a worthwhile endeavour worth investigating for higher rewards with a carefully developed plan, a skilled team, and fair financial needs.

The project requires $114,950 USD or 547,380 ADA at a conservative exchange rate. The budget breakdown is well-defined, but lacks cost rationale. The MLabs team consists of seasoned programmers with Cardano experience, and collaborates with dcSpark and Paima Studios. The team has high value for money rating. The proposal highlights the potential benefits of the project's integration with the gaming sector, highlighting innovation and widespread adoption. However, the Treasury's benefit is not justified by direct costs, and the value for money grade is MEDIUM. The team has the necessary knowledge and expertise, but the plan may offer more in exchange for a better value-for-money rating.

The proposal represents good monetary value for the Cardano treasury and community. The project aims to integrate Cardano's blockchain technology into the widely-adopted Godot game engine, which opens up opportunities for the widespread adoption of Cardano in the gaming industry. The gaming industry's rapid growth and influential dynamics make it an ideal platform for showcasing the capabilities of Cardano, potentially leading to increased adoption and usage of the blockchain. The project's focus on providing an ergonomic and user-friendly API for game developers, along with extensive documentation and examples, demonstrates a commitment to ease of use and accessibility, adding further value for the community. The funding amount requested for the project is reasonable and provides good value for money to the Cardano Treasury. The proposal outlines a detailed budget breakdown, including the estimated hours required for each milestone and the associated costs. The proposed budget reflects the efforts of a skilled and experienced team with a proven track record in the Cardano ecosystem. Additionally, the proposer has considered market volatility and potential risks associated with cryptocurrency pricing, indicating a responsible approach to budget planning. Overall, the funding amount aligns with the project's goals and the potential impact it could have on the Cardano ecosystem, making it a reasonable investment for the Treasury.

• The budget breakdown provides a reasonable allocation of hours for each task based on the scope of work involved for that milestone. However, there is little information provided about costs other than labor.

• The proposal aims to remove a major hurdle for blockchain integration in gaming by providing a native Cardano wallet experience within the Godot game engine. If successful, this has the potential to drive adoption through the gaming industry. However, the potential impact and financial ROI are not clearly articulated.

• MLabs is an experienced Haskell and Plutus consultancy, but limited information is provided about their track record of managing projects and funds responsibly. There is no mention of past Catalyst funding received.

• While a conservative USD/ADA exchange rate is used in the budget, further information is needed to assess MLabs' ability to manage the project sustainably in the face of cryptocurrency volatility.

• The requested funding amount represents a substantial allocation of community funds, but the proposal lacks details to justify this level of funding.

To improve the value for money rating:

• More details should be provided about MLabs' experience delivering government-funded projects on time and on budget.

• The potential impact and financial ROI generated by the proposal should be more quantitatively justified.

• Additional details should be provided about costs beyond labor and how MLabs plans to manage the project sustainably.

• Concrete key performance indicators and success metrics should be defined to evaluate the impact of the funding.

• Progress reports and accountability measures should be clearly described from the outset.

Overall, while the proposal describes an important goal with the potential for positive impact, limited details are provided to justify the requested level of funding. For these reasons, I rate the value for money as 3 out of 5. More information is needed to improve the rating and the community's confidence that funds will be well spent.

The proposer has presented a detailed budget breakdown of 547,380 ADA for the proposed work and resources. However, upon reviewing the proposal, a Value for Money rating of 3 stars is assigned, as it only partially demonstrates the value the project delivers. Some information is missing or unclear regarding how the ADA will be allocated, and the milestones provided are considered too generic, possibly causing challenges in tracking progress effectively. While the budget seems high, the proposal lacks complete transparency on how the funds will be utilized, which could impact the overall value achieved. Addressing these gaps and providing clearer milestones would enhance the proposal's credibility and improve its Value for Money rating. Despite the concerns, the proposal's overall feasibility and the team's capabilities appear satisfactory, providing some reassurance that the project can deliver on its objectives. With a medium rating for Value for Money, there is room for improvement to ensure a more comprehensive and accountable budget allocation.

There is a brief statement on how the success of the proposal would look like, but would appreciate if the author included a quantifiable measurement e.g x number of pull request etc. I have nothing else to add but say that this proposal would bring tons of value to the NFT gaming space in Cardano.

The proposal aims to integrate a light wallet into the widely adopted Godot game engine, facilitating Cardano's expansion into the gaming industry. The project is feasible and offers good value for money to the Treasury within the Cardano ecosystem. The team has demonstrated the experience, capacity, and skills needed to successfully complete the project. The total cost is $114,950 USD, with a budget breakdown of 1210 hours at a rate of $95 per hour. The cost is converted to ADA at a conservative exchange rate of $0.21 USD per ADA, resulting in a total cost of 547,380 ADA. The project's value-for-money perspective suggests a promising financial ROI and tangible real-world applications for the ecosystem's growth and influence. Overall, the proposal is a potentially valuable investment for the Cardano community.

The funding amount requested for this project seems realistic based on the financial breakdown offered. The budget breakdown is thorough, showing the expenses and hours needed to complete each milestone. For the skills being offered, the hourly pricing of $95 USD for knowledgeable developers also sounds affordable. However, there is some proof that the money was well spent. Even while the budget allocation is clear, there is a lot of information missing about how the ADA will be utilized.. The breakdown of the ADA allocation for each milestone or the particular costs it will pay are not included in the proposal. The milestones are also presented in a general way, which could make it difficult to monitor progress and guarantee responsibility.

Has this project clearly demonstrated in all aspects of the proposal that it will positively impact the Cardano Ecosystem?

The proposal plainly shows how it will benefit the Cardano Ecosystem. By addressing the issue of providing them with the necessary tools and infrastructure, it enables developers to prioritise Cardano when creating dApps and cooperating. The concept enables game creators to quickly incorporate Cardano's blockchain technology into their businesses by embedding a light wallet capability right into the open-source Godot game engine. This will encourage invention, experimentation, and a rise in Cardano adoption among common users, even those who have no interest in decentralised financial services.

Mlabs' proposal impressed me with an idea that seemed very vague in the sky but once again the way they explained their solution convinced me. How to apply the solution and how it works as well as the benefits it brings have been presented in a very detailed and orderly manner. I highly appreciate the impact the solution brings because I can fully see its potential for the whole ecosystem to be adopted as more and more users will merge into Cardano.

This project was proposed by MLaps to integrate wallet functionality and application backend into Godot, a free and open source game engine trusted by game studios. This integration will make it easier for game developers to build browser-based games on the Cardano blockchain. Players can gain "real ownership" of their digital assets and identities and still get a good user experience. I appreciate the project's impact on game development on the Cardano ecosystem.

The team aims is to improve the gamefi ecosystem on Cardano blockchain which is has a highly potential to grow and lots of space for new project to develop. They planned to create a project to solve the current problem on web3.0 gaming platforms through Godot to have a light wallet for each game. By doing this, the team can improve the users’ experience as well as saving time and resources for game developers. Besides that, they project can also benefit the Cardano gamefi ecosystem by attracting more developers to choose Cardano as their destination and also increase the number of users on the blockchain. However, the criteria to measure the process of the project is provided insufficiently with lack of information.

The proposal aims to integrate Cardano blockchain technology into video game goods, making it more practical and affordable.

Overall, the proposal demonstrates a clear intention to positively impact the Cardano ecosystem by addressing challenges related to blockchain integration in video games and providing accessible tools and resources for developers.

Yes, the proposal brings a powerful new tool to the Cardano community. The Godot game engine is a great open-source project that has been gaining adoption in the games industry. The proposed wallet integration would help with ADA's adoption in that sector.

NFT gaming is on the rise, and there is no stopping the growth. Thus, a seamless wallet integration is much needed, more than ever. The proposal has a solution for that, which is to create a light wallet integration to the Godot game engine. The proposal listed the technical in details, but in layman terms, this proposal would create a tooling which allows game developers to easily integrate a wallet into their games. This alone I believe would surely create an impact as it would drive more developers to the Cardano ecosystem.

Reducing obstacles to entry for sport developers: By integrating a mild wallet without delay into the Godot sport engine, this undertaking aims to dispose of considered one of the biggest hurdles facing game builders who want to combine Cardano blockchain era into their video games. This will make it easier for more recreation builders, especially indie builders, to make use of Cardano, potentially inspiring more experimentation and innovation.

Increasing adoption of Cardano: By making it less complicated for recreation builders to combine Cardano, this challenge has the capacity to noticeably growth the variety of gaming merchandise built on Cardano. This could power extra mainstream customer adoption of Cardano via those gaming merchandise.

Potential economic ROI: The gaming enterprise represents a profitable market possibility for Cardano, and this mission targets to allow that through providing game developers with the tools and infrastructure they need. If a success, this may generate a financial return for the Cardano atmosphere via growing usage and transactions at the blockchain.

Real-world programs: The a success implementation of this assignment would demonstrate a tangible use case for Cardano through integrating it into real-international gaming merchandise. This should assist show off Cardano's cost and abilties, strengthening the environment.

Based on the wonderful affects outlined above, I could rate the capability high-quality effect of this idea as 4 out of 5, potentially increasing to 5 out of five if the venture is capable of efficaciously package deal an application backend in addition to a light wallet. The integration of each additives would cast off almost all boundaries for recreation builders and maximize the concept's effect.

The proposer aims to integrate a light wallet functionality into the open-source Godot game engine, allowing game developers to easily integrate Cardano into their games. The proposal lacks detailed information on the integration process, but it is expected to have a medium impact on the Cardano ecosystem. The project's partial demonstration of its potential impact on Cardano leads to a 3-star rating. However, there are significant gaps and omissions in the proposal, making it uncertain whether the proposed impact is achievable. The proposal fails to provide a clear explanation of how the integration will truly make a difference. To address this, the proposer plans to showcase the progress and outcomes of the integration through various channels, including a Dedicated GitHub Repository, Community Updates, Compliance, and Documentation. These channels will help keep the community informed about the ongoing work and ensure transparency in the development process.While the potential for integration is acknowledged, the proposal needs further elaboration and clarification to fully demonstrate its positive impact on the Cardano ecosystem.

The proposal aims to integrate Cardano's blockchain technology into traditional video game products, addressing potential benefits for users, developers, and the Cardano ecosystem. It aims to reduce technical barriers and provide tools and infrastructure for seamless integration. However, the proposal lacks specific quantitative or measurable evidence and concrete metrics or targets to assess the project's success. The project plans to share progress and outcomes through channels like GitHub, community updates, and compliance documentation, indicating a willingness to engage with the community and communicate developments. The project's impact assessment is uncertain, and the project team should provide more concrete and measurable outcomes and milestones to evaluate the success of the integration. Including specific metrics and targets will enhance the proposal's credibility and demonstrate a higher level of commitment to achieving a positive impact in the Cardano ecosystem.

Not all facets of the proposal clearly explain how the project would affect the Cardano ecosystem. The plan does touch on the issue of how to incorporate Cardano blockchain technology into conventional video game products and how it can be advantageous for all parties. It also describes a potential remedy that could lower the entrance barrier for game makers by incorporating a light wallet feature right into the Godot game engine. However, there isn't enough concrete information in the proposal to show how this integration will benefit the Cardano ecosystem. Although it highlights potential advantages including "real ownership" of digital goods for consumers and more revenue prospects for developers, it doesn't offer any specific examples, use cases, or data to support these claims.
