Please describe your proposed solution.
Our solution will start with researching the available DID solutions out there, starting with Atala PRISM and IAMX, and potentially others listed here: https://www.cardanocube.io/collections/identity
After selecting an appropriate partner, we will define and implement a new ballot type on the Voteaire Platform which integrates a digital identity into the voting mechanic.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The Dapps, Products & Integration challenge aims to increase the number of Dapps, increase the number of integrations, and improve the quality of existing Dapps and integrations in the ecosystem.
This proposal will increase the quality of the existing Voteaire platform by providing additional utility and use-cases beyond the traditional blockchain ecosystem (i.e. corporate and government applications).
As well, it will integrate with one or more existing identity solutions within the ecosystem.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
- Third-party dependencies - since we will be integrating with an external identity provider, we will be exposed to risks related to issues and constraints with their platform
- Mitigation strategies
- Upfront research on the available platforms and selection criteria
- Open and clear communications with providers
- Scope creep brought on by early platform adopters
- Mitigation strategies
- Ensuring we have a clear definition of the problem and a clear definition of done upfront
- Regular / ongoing backlog and task refinement
- Resource / Team changes mid-development
- Mitigation strategies
- scrum framework - work is assigned to the team, not individuals. Personnel changes tend to be less problematic
- Healthy resource pipeline
