Solution

We built Pool Peek Mobile to assist users with the staking process. We will translate the app into Swahili (~200 million African speakers).

Problem:

It is not straight forward for non-English speaking users to onboard into the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

We will work with a professional translator to translate the Pool Peek mobile application and app store listing as we have done with other languages. The result will be a mobile application that is easily found when searching foreign language terms in the play store and an app that is easily usable so speakers will find resources in their native language.

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

The resulting application will give Swahili speakers confidence that the Cardano ecosystem is working to expand to support non-English speaking users, and thus give them the confidence to invest in Cardano.

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

None. We have implemented similar translations in the past.

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

This is easily achievable as we have already translated the application into multiple foreign languages.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

$2,000 translation costs

$400 development costs

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

The primary developer for this mobile application has over 10 years of mobile development experience and his applications have been downloaded from the Google Play and Apple App Stores several million times. We will use a professional translation service to support the translation.

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

No. This is a one time job.

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

Success will be seen as the application published to both Google Play and Apple App Store in Swahili.

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

Thousands of Swahili-speaking users in Africa will download and use the application, learn how to stake their Cardano, and purchase and delegate Ada to a community stake pool.

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

This is a new proposal.
