Please describe your proposed solution.
Currently there are over 70 million Youtube videos on DIY projects, but no proper way to incentivize the Makers whom explain how something is made. They primarily make their income from Ads on videos. We change this and put the incentive model directly on products, allowing the industry to see all the different use-cases and iterations around their products they manufacture.
Products also include waste and reusing products for new purposes, mapping a new path for understanding waste management. F.ex use cases around an empty plastic bottle.

Youblob is an online makerspace for collaboration and blueprint sharing around ideas and creating an eco-system for idea sharing back to the industry in order to create new opportunities on new levels of interaction and data sharing.
We introduce several new incentive models to DIY projects and their makers, along with how e-commerce can be handled in the future when running alongside Cardano implementations.
Take ownership of your idea in the open source space, allow others to create iterations from them, show the industry who you are and what awesome things you can build with their products!
We are enabling open collaboration across all subjects and new combinations in our Blueprints, combine Electronics with Woodworking and some math f.ex, all while maintaining the high level of documentation around iterations and how something is made, along with creating incentive models on top of this to put the idea maker in the front seat of the whole solution.
We even go so far that you can be incentivized by AI on what it produces in the future.

---- List of our Smart contracts pending implementations; ––
- Registering account; Cardano Native Wallet automatically generated for User
- Creating teams for collaboration on Blueprints; Owner of Blueprint can set % revenue to other team members
- Ledger access; User is able to see all sales, purchases, revenue and incentive streams through personal account for ledger UI
- Product Incentives; Once a sale is done through a Blueprint and received with reseller, THEN IF there is added a Revenue % on product, then this shall split the payment and send Revenue % to Blueprint owner, and the rest to reseller. IF Blueprint is created by a Team, then the total Revenue % shall be split between the set Team % allocation.
- Convert Blueprint to Blueprint NFT; If a User converts their Blueprint over to NFT, then this shall lock the Blueprint and no other edits can be done on the Blueprint, and it shall enable a purchase option of the Blueprint.
- Salesprice on Blueprint NFT; User must be able to set their own price on Blueprint NFT, or time period for a set Auction period.
- Blueprint NFT sold; When a Blueprint NFT is sold, it shall transfer all ownership of the Blueprint to the new owner. Sales and other revenue streams generated after it is sold shall be given to the new owner. If Blueprint had a Team of collaborators, and the Blueprint is sold as NFT, the sale price shall be split between the set Team % allocation.
- Revenue stream from the Youblob AI; Based on the algorithm that the AI engine uses and which Blueprints it has based its final solution on that leads to a sale, shall generate a revenue stream back to the Blueprint owners.
- Transactions on the Youblob platform; As Youblob is free to use, we need to have some sort of income to further enhance the services provided and further development of the platform. To keep it simple we charge a 5% for transactions done on the Youblob platform. This includes sales of products, services, event tickets and NFT sales.
- Organization - Subscriptions; If User creates an organization/makerspace on Youblob, They shall be able to handle subscription fees to their organization through Youblob.
- Referral payments; As a User I can earn Tinker Tokens by using my referral link and inviting other people to Youblob.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
By building up a database of knowledge across all subjects and their products use-cases, we allow for a global collaboration tool for Makers to earn from their publications and directly connect with the industry from whom they use their products from.
We promote open idea sharing with incentive models attached to it.
Blueprints can be turned into an NFT. Enabling everyone to create their own NFT's with the click of a button.
We make it easy to start a business based on Users own ideas, without the need for the technological know-how.
Some people we have talked to previously say we disrupt the need for patents/IP through this solution, by enabling incentive models through open collaboration. Where value of ideas are generated from actual product purchases through Blueprints, and ideas can be traded in an open market.
Youblob is built around Creative Commons 0 (CC0), though no attribution is needed we keep this information through Smart Contracts in the backend, allowing for a true open sharing platform and removing manual processes to explain who owns what.
We also bring in new functions/data feeds for the industry and physical Makerspaces that register on our platform to help them better understand value generation in local communities and on a global scale. You can read more about these functions on our Discord FAQ channels, as they are not Cardano specific functions other than onboarding organizations and the industry.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
System;
- Implementation of Cardano native wallet
- Implementation of our long list of smart contracts
- Implementation of Blueprint NFT's (Ideas become an actual value of trade in the open source space)
Youblob traffic:
- First maker to earn a yearly income of 50K $ through Youblob
- 1K Blueprints made
- 1K Makers registered
- 10 Manufacturers/Distributors registered
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
Git commits.
Once we go out of the beta phase on our platform, we will start measuring through traffic, transactions and the different interaction elements.
