This initiative should have an immediate positive impact on the artist communities of the Caribbean islands as there is some level of awareness of NFT’s within the blockchain world. However the minting technology on Cardano is not known and access to developers is almost nonexistent.
These Cardano workshops will discuss basic blockchain concepts and etiquette so as to establish the fundamental knowledge required for safe participation in our ecosystem. We will also cover, metadata creation, minting of NFT’s and placing the Art into a established marketplaces for artist and aspiring artist within the Caribbean region.
Cardano Caribbean would like to work with developers to establish a Caribbean NFT marketplace, with minting services. The fees generated from the marketplace will be utilized to continue to grow Cardano NFT’s within the region.
I believe it is also important for individuals to be exposed to other facets of our ecosystem such as Defi and Gaming so Cardano Caribbean will also have workshops that assist individuals who are interested in such.
I think that multiple digital workshops held over a two days periods with at least two in person regional meetups annually on an island in the region can and will do wonders for Cardano’s growth/adaption in the Caribbean region.
My solution will address the challenge by giving people of the region who are just becoming curious about blockchain technology the resources necessary to leverage the Cardano blockchain. Which in my opinion presents one of the soundest solutions to economical global commerce.
I believe that once artist and entrepreneurs become aware of how to utilize Cardano tech such as wallets and Defi platforms they will and have life changing experiences. This will I turn lead to an organic growth of Cardano adaptors throughout the close knit Caribbean region.
One of the main challenges I foresee for this challenge would probably be the in person Cardano Caribbean Community meetups in the region as a result of Covid 19 travel restrictions but I am confident that as travel returns to normal such events will be priceless to the continued growth of the Cardano Caribbean community as physical human discussion/interaction is.
