[IMPACT]

Creation of Claim Portal

• Wallet integration
• Display Balance Owed
• Rewards Claim Process
• Display Claim Status
• Display Claim History

Creation of Backend API

• Calculate Rewards
• Retrieve Claim History
• Create transactions to claim Rewards
• Calculate Claim Status

Creation of Process for On-Chain Interaction

• Worker to interact with blockchain

This solution will provide the backbone for all projects that want to distribute utility tokens, raise awareness or raise funds for their projects.

Example user stories include:

• As an NFT project creator, I want to reward my NFT holders with a fungible token, so I can provide value to them
• As an NFT project creator, I want to reward NFT holders based on NFT rarity, so I can associate varying value to my NFT collection
• As an NFT collector, I want a place to claim rewards from the project owner, so I can derive value from my initial NFT purchase

Risks and challenges include:

• Smart contract complexity - we have a good network of developers to draw upon, however we have learned to provide a generous buffer for Haskell/Plutus development

• The lion's share of hours/effort will be in the backend development, so this will need to be tightly managed

• Test Cases will need to be thorough since the end use of the platform may directly impact user rewards

  [AUDITABILITY]

The project will be controlled with the following KPIs:

• Project phase on time completion
• Budget control (spend by resource, by phase)
• UAT feedback

Success is a completed staking platform/website where projects can be listed and token holders can stake their wallets containing relevant tokens (fungible and non-fungible) for rewards specific to the listed project.
