REVENUE MODEL

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

BigBucs is an idea that was planned to launch on the EVM ecosystem (especially ethereum). Konma had an opportunity to convince this venture to consider being built on the Cardano ecosystem instead. We plan to also integrate this with ADA pay. This would bring in a new set of consumers on to the Cardano ecosystem.

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

• If incase supportive CIP standards (cardano improvement proposal) aren't supportive.

• We will put in a proposal separately that will aid an support to mitigate this challenge.

• Scalability issues and adoption.

• Creating easy UI/UX and marketing widely across various channels.

The budget allotted , followed by the % we can get . It is only possible to make a poc whislt allowing ample funds for other projects on catalyst. When we do succeed with the POC, we will then be able to raise more funds in challanges such as dapps and integration, or developer ecosystem for the MVP

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