We will collaborate with the professional cloud company and locan government as a close relation partner.
Fundamentally, our service will not establish the program code source itself. We will encourage the persons or companies who want start a project with Cardanocardano blockchain. Of course, we understand the usual blockchain would be good as open source. However, we can not force. We will only explain Cardano strategy.

◆Reasons for approaching
1. Companies, local governments, and traditional craft groups seek alternative options to foreign websites for creating NFTs and commercializing their products.
2. Companies using web2 technology require assistance in migrating to Web3.
3. Companies considering using Cardano for their services are having difficulty finding good partners since there are only a small number of startups around the Cardano blockchain.
◆Our Solution
◆Project end-users aim
◆Project demonstrates outcomes
1. Offer solutions that enable companies and traditional craft villages to create NFTs and commercialize their products without relying solely on foreign websites.
2. Providing use cases for companies heavily reliant on web2 technology and facilitating their smooth transition to Web3 using Cardano blockchain technology.
3. Assist in connecting and identifying suitable partners for companies contemplating the adoption of Cardano for their business, ensuring seamless integration into the Cardano ecosystem.
◆The uniqueness of this solution
1. Our new web3 center has strong relationships with traditional and official organizations, including local authorities.
2. This center is operated by an organization with a long history of operation and has received the approval of the local government.
3. The team of consulting and supporting companies and organizations that want to apply Cardano, web3 technology, issue tokens, and NFTs are experienced Cardano SPOs.
◆Why this is important to Cardano
1. Contribute to increasing the adoption of Cardano in businesses.
2. Attract newcomers to the Cardano ecosystem, and accelerate the growth of Cardano.
3. Increasing number of web3 companies start up on Cardano.
◆This Proposal targets the goal of the Challenge
◆Impact of our proposal on the Cardano ecosystem
We are building a Cardano adoption case for companies with high Web2 technology. By collaborating with this company, it will be possible to collaborate with Web2 technology and application development
◆The value our proposal brings to the Cardano ecosystem
With the plan described above, Cardano can provide a highly reliable and client-friendly entry point for organizations considering entering the blockchain. In addition, we will provide a path to high-level products through collaboration with Web2 companies that have top-level technology and are considering system development using Cardano. In addition, it is possible to recommend Catalyst's proposals to companies that have excellent technical and marketing capabilities, but feel the risk of entering the market. The current problem with Catalyst is the lack of projects with ongoing revenue. Our project unlocks a lot of potential that was previously hesitant to enter the Web3 industry.
The success of our project can be measured by the number of collaboration projects and the product supported by our team.
At least, we will developpe instant web games and NFT projects for a demonstration of our center. This is the minimum target of our project. And we will promote the Cardano web3 acceptance for other companies and organizations.
1 Number of collaborative projects
This parameter represents the results of connecting solutions, approaching Web2 technology enterprises, and local government agencies.
2 Number of the products supported by our team
This parameter represents the direct effect of the project with the number of Cardano products supported by the project.
3 Developed web games and NFT projects for central demonstration.
This parameter represents the result of cooperation between projects or businesses through the center
Impact on Cardano's productivity and growth in the short term
Short term:
Strengthen Cardano's presence through our center.
Relationships with local government agencies allow Cardano's technologies to be disseminated there.
Impact on Cardano's productivity and growth in the long term
Long term:
Encourage another project like this to apply our model to develop it in the whole Cardano ecosystem
◆Plan to disseminate project outputs
Now, we are trying to establish a new Homepage based on the Catalyst project Japanese Traditional Crafts NFT (Fund 9 funded project 900125). We will encourage the NFT or web game project. The collaborated projects can be seen on the collaboration page of our homepage. (https://japantradcraftcnft.machi-design.org)
(the NFT project market is https://www.jpg.store/collection/44ce9864da5f92e309d23f0cd40d2996d28d55da6890276e88927c7a?tab=items)
Of course, we will provide information through the Catalyst Eastern Town Hall meet-up, Cardano Japan community and SNSs.
◆How to share output/results when project completion
Once the project has completed the KPI,
We will share the output with Catalyst and the community by:
1. Submit the Project Close Out report to Catalyst
2. Present my project in the Town Hall Meeting.
3. Announcement on our community channels.
4. The web game will be implemented on the project website.
◆Directions for using the results obtained from the project for further research and development activities
Project results such as cost, and implementation time will be the data for us to evaluate effectiveness. From there, we will research a more optimal and practical solution if we continue implementing the project in other localities in Japan.
◆Ability and experience suitable to implement the project
With our extensive experience and expertise, we possess the requisite knowledge to establish and operate this web3 hub successfully:
The CEO has cultivated strong relationships with politicians, local companies, numerous organizations, and businesses.Our team includes a highly experienced individual who has successfully implemented and supported Catalyst projects.
As a Catalyst-sponsored proponent, we successfully integrate handicrafts into NFTs on the Cardano blockchain. Importantly, our team has established connections with companies specializing in Google Cloud Platform, such as Cloud Ace in Japan. These strong affiliations with major cloud providers and companies will significantly contribute to the realization of our project.
◆Financial management process
We have the budget and actual cost sheets attached to the invoices to ensure covering the budget.
In addition, upon request by Catalyst, we may submit this budget management.
Makoto Harada will manage the Yoshinogawa community and PR
RANKET will manage Cardano technology and information, and also will manage the Yoshinogawa Web engineer team
Makoto Harada is the CEO of Kittamu, a semi-official organization in Yosihinogawa City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. This person has connections to politicians, local companies, organizations, and many companies. This person also establishes the Yoshinogawa center. We will use this center as a Web3 center.

This saves the center's construction budget.
Developer training costs.
Cost of educating local people.
Cost of workshops.
The cost of creating a web game.
Project management costs.
Expenses for renting premises and fixed assets.
our total budget is $70,000
In present, our team already succeeded to make Cardano adoption examples, such as two categories of the Japanese traditional crafts, 1 Web3 company and one quasi- local government organization.
Our project will encourage Cardano adopted companies and organization based on traditional stand point of Japan local cultures. The cost performance for Cardano adoption by our project will be quite efficient and reasonable.
