チーム

This proposal was approved and funded by the Cardano Community via Project F8: Miscellaneous Challenge Catalyst funding round.

[IMPACT]

Service Marketplace is the place to bring together all Catalyst related services.

Each Marketplace participant will be entitled to register for 2 types of accounts:

Ser vice provider accounts and customer accounts.

For service provider accounts: have the right to post Catalyst related services that his/her individual/organization can provide. Suppliers must ensure the quality of service they provide to improve their reputation and increase service orders.

For customer accounts: there are features of service ordering, service evaluation, supplier evaluation, payment, refund request….

Marketplace will deduct a connection service fee from the Service Provider's revenue. This revenue is used by Marketplace to operate the platform and market to customers in need.

Service packages will be set at prices from 5USD-100USD (+ service fees incurred (if any)).

The purpose is to provide Proposer support services, CAs can perform their tasks more conveniently at a more favorable cost.

Services provided in Marketplace:

For example: (service packages will be provided by service providers based on their skills, experience, and abilities)

<u>Services for Proposer</u>

  • Proposal writing service in English, Japanese…
  • Service of translating challenges, announcements from Catalyst.
  • Translation service of sample proposals (funded in previous funds)
  • Consulting service on how to write a standard proposal.
  • Service of creating videos to introduce the project to the Community.

<u>Services for CA</u>

  • Proposal translation service into local language
  • Translation service of reviews into English.
  • CA skill training service
  • Service to review CA assessments before submitting to Catalyst.

<u>Logistics services for funded project</u>

  • Website design service
  • Programming service
  • Smart contract service
  • Financial advisor service
  • Community building service
  • Project marketing service

<u>Other services</u>

  • Catalyst related knowledge training service
  • Cardano blockchain knowledge training service
  • Blockchain knowledge training service
  • Translation service on request.

……

This proposal helps to connect skilled people with proposers, CAs who lack skills and experience.

This helps to increase the quality of Proposal, the quality of CA's assessment.

New members who want to become Proposer, CA will also join more boldly by using support services from Proposers, CAs, and experts with good skills on Marketplace.

It may be difficult to manage the quality of the service that the provider provides in the beginning.

However, we will apply reputation scoring, service quality score for customers (proposer, CA…) to evaluate after using the service. Suppliers who are underestimated (1 star, 2 stars) will be reminded, and must have solutions to improve their service quality. If the rating continues to be low, Marketplace will restrict the display of that provider's services.

We will create policies and regulations on service provision and customer complaint handling to ensure good quality.

In the first month (June-2022), we completed the work items outlined in the proposal. In the last report, we mentioned using the domain name "chokynang.com" for Service Marketplace. However, to increase the efficiency of marketing and search, we changed to the domain name "proskills39.com". And the brand name of Service Marketplace is also Proskills39.com. So please follow the progress of Service Marketplace at https://proskills39.com/ We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

And for the monthly progress report, because this is the first time we send progress reports, if the report information is not enough, please kindly contact us. We look forward to your support.

The project is going slightly slower than anticipated, but shouldn't impact the planned completion date. We are taking it to step by step carefully and trying to use the funding from Catalyst in the most effective way. We aim to create a platform to serve the Catalyst community, proposer, and PA with high convenience.

The project is going slightly slower than anticipated, but shouldn't impact the planned completion date. We are taking it to step by step and trying to use Catalyst's funding most effectively. We aim to create a platform to serve the Catalyst community, proposer, and PA with high convenience. We are planning to upgrade this Service Marketplace to web 3, using ADA and other coins as a means of payment. However, we are struggling with the cost and time it takes to create a platform that can easily migrate to web 3 in the future. We are considering 2 options:

  1. Continue to develop the current platform with funding from Fund 8 (saving cost: about 7400USD for phrase 1) and test it out at the end of October as reported. When we have a lot of transactions, we will create Service Marketplace (web 3 versions)
  2. Add more capital to Fund 8 funded capital now, create a Service Marketplace platform with more features and easy upgrade to Web 3. Option 2 would require a lot more capital (estimated cost of over 30000USD) and the time expected for completion is February 2023. We will consider carefully and contact and discuss with Catalyst about changing the deadline if we choose option 2.

During the last month, our main work was: -Continue to work with the development team to fix the miss. -Continue to post ads on the fan page, local Cardano community -Create brochures about Service Marketplace, how it works, and the ordering and payment process. -Create manuals and regulations. As we mentioned in our last report, we had a bit of a problem with the payment feature and KYC. These are two important features of Service Marketplace, so we want them to be perfect. Therefore, we are temporarily not implementing marketing last month. However, we still prepare marketing tools, documents, and guides to be ready to launch marketing as soon as possible. After checking the issue in the checkout process, we found the problem only occurs when paying via Paypal. As for payment via domestic bank, everything is fine. Therefore, to save time, we plan to launch the domestic market first, then the international market. For international orders at the moment, users can pay with ADA but there will be some feature limitations.

We made 2 ads, reaching 13338 people. We will evaluate the effectiveness of these two advertising programs before implementing other advertising programs.
