[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Main goals for the project are to create three distinct programs tailored for different types of live events, focusing on effectively onboarding individuals to Digital Identifiers and equipping them with the foundational knowledge to continue their journey towards adoption. We aim to foster understanding, awareness, and practical application of Digital Identifiers within the Cardano ecosystem.

Validate the feasibility of our approach, we will employ several strategies. Firstly, we will conduct pilot implementations of our programs at selected live events, closely monitoring participant engagement, feedback, and knowledge retention. This iterative process will allow us to refine our approach based on real-world testing and gather insights on program effectiveness.

Assess the scalability and adaptability of our programs by closely examining the level of interest, adoption rates, and positive outcomes generated at each event. This data will provide valuable indicators of the feasibility and potential impact of our approach across different event types and audiences.

Seek feedback from stakeholders, including participants, organizers, and industry experts, to validate the effectiveness and relevance of our programs. Their insights and opinions will play a crucial role in refining our approach and ensuring its alignment with their needs and expectations.

Combining quantitative measurements, such as participant numbers and adoption rates, with qualitative feedback on user experiences and satisfaction, we will gain a comprehensive understanding of the feasibility of our approach. These validation measures will guide us in continuously improving and optimizing our programs to ensure their success in fostering adoption and understanding of Digital Identifiers within the Cardano ecosystem.

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

> Challenge: Can we bring together stakeholders to accelerate adoption and product-market-fit?

Through the creation of three specialized programs, we will strategically engage with stakeholders by leveraging in-person WEB3 meet-ups, live events, and workshops. This approach allows us to not only onboard individuals but also educate and collaborate with those interested in WEB3. By offering a seamless and immersive experience, our goal is to bring stakeholders together, accelerating the adoption of digital identifiers on Cardano and achieving product-market fit. This concerted effort aims to align the collective vision of stakeholders, inspiring them to explore the vast possibilities and catalyzing widespread adoption within the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

> As part of our project's success measurement, we aim to gather valuable insights through a "feedback discussion and questionnaire" at 21 in-person events. We want to understand stakeholders' existing knowledge of Digital Identifier concepts, their interest in the field, and their desire to further expand their expertise, like joining the Atala Prism pioneer program. We'll also plan to conduct follow-ups with event hosts to see if they would use the program during future in-person events. By adopting this data-driven approach, we can effectively assess the project's success and ensure stakeholders' growth and satisfaction throughout its implementation.

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We'll publish to GitHub, NFTxLV YouTube channel, and Website.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Marco Guerrero and Adam Dean are the founders of cNFTcon/NFTxLV and its smaller meet-ups “Road to” events giving them the experience needed to create and deploy these programs. Also, they are the founders of Buffybot, one of the original SPOs as well as one of the first NFT Minting services on Cardano. Adam also contributed to a wide variety of open-source projects on the Cardano ecosystem.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

Main goal:

The creation of 3 Digital Identifier programs that can be seamlessly integrated into in-person WEB3 meetups, live events, and workshops via a proof of attendance experience.

Validation:

Through a 12-month period, we will create, deploy, review, and revise these programs at 21 different events around the world. This will give us the data needed to publish our programs for the public to implement them on their own and give us a base to further build out a seamless proof of attendance experience.
