Detailed Plan

Sustainable ADA will be focusing on all mission driven SPOs within the Cardano ecosystem, by starting with existing established groups/coalitions that have been operating in the ecosystem (ie Climate Neutral Cardano Group, Mission Driven Pools Group, XSPO Alliance and more…)

We aim to produce a story/video for 100 sustainable SPOs talking about their connection with Cardano, blockchain, and sustainability.

We will be focusing on SPOs as they are a group currently lacking stories told about their experiences and contributions to the ecosystem.

We plan to have an article/interview with the major alliances and their members and work our way through the SPO list once funded.

During Fund 7 Sustainable ADA will be researching and contacting each SPO group and alliance to build a database of SPO contacts, across each continent. If funded, we will interview, and write an article that showcases them and their alignment with Sustainability, SDGs, and more, in 2022.

We will leverage our networks with the UN and more, to have our outreach targeting relevant stakeholders in each national government institution, civil society, and more, to build a team of contributors who are ready to be part of the Sustainable ADA team.

Our Impact, Feasibility, & Audibility

Impact: creating global impact by onboarding key stakeholders into the community with their stories and participation engaged, and spotlighting a key stakeholder group currently underrepresented in the broader media; SPOs!

Feasibility: we have global links and a globally diverse community that are supportive and open! If someone can visit all the countries in the world at least once, then our proposal is achievable as we are committed, connected, and engaged!

Auditability: we will commit to sharing updates on the project through our social media channels like Twitter, Linked In, etc. sharing a page with a countdown from our target of total SPOs (100)

Experience & Tools:

The Sustainable ADA team has experience working with Figma, Canva, Wix, Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci Resolve 17, Adobe CC, Microsoft Products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc).

Sustainable ADA has the experience and a background in Sustainability, Economics, Humanities, Social Sciences. Along with work with NGOs, Social Enterprises, Freelance journalism, and blogging.

What Success Looks Like:

A strongly motivated team willing to reach out to a minimum of 100 SPO's. Plan to inform and direct new participants towards providing a contribution that improves Catalyst's ROI.

Key metrics to measure:

• amount of community funds in ada staked to projects/ngo based SPO's

• number of verified unique hosting providers/self hosted infrastructures used for SPO's

• number of stakepools using green energy primarily
