[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Our proposed solution addresses the problem of inefficient and centralized rental markets. Currently, property owners face limitations in terms of utilizing their properties for other stays and sharing ownership. Our rental property agency and management platform will leverage the Cardano blockchain and ADA cryptocurrency to enable property owners to trade nights at their properties and share ownership, creating a decentralized and efficient rental market. This solution will benefit property owners, travelers, and the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Our proposed solution addresses the challenge of creating a decentralized rental market by utilizing the features of the Cardano blockchain. By allowing property owners to trade nights at their properties and share ownership, we introduce a new level of flexibility and efficiency to the rental market. This solution brings several benefits to the Cardano ecosystem:

1. Increased adoption: By providing a user-friendly platform for property owners and travelers to engage in property trading and shared ownership using ADA, we promote the adoption of Cardano and its native cryptocurrency.
2. Economic growth: The creation of a decentralized rental market opens up new economic opportunities for property owners, facilitating the growth of the overall economy within the Cardano ecosystem.
3. Network utilization: Our platform will drive increased utilization of the Cardano network, leading to higher transaction volumes and network activity, which strengthens the ecosystem.
4. Use case demonstration: By showcasing a real-world use case for blockchain technology and ADA cryptocurrency, we demonstrate the practicality and value of Cardano to a wider audience.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

1. Number of property owners and travelers onboarded onto the platform.
2. Number of property trades facilitated through the platform.
3. Amount of ADA transactions processed within the rental market.
4. User feedback and satisfaction surveys.
5. Adoption rate and growth of shared ownership arrangements.
6. Increase in the overall economic activity within the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

1. Regular updates on our website and GitHub repository, documenting the development progress and milestones achieved.
2. Blog posts and articles discussing the impact and benefits of our solution for the Cardano ecosystem.
3. Participation in community events, conferences, and workshops to present our project and engage with the Cardano community.
4. Collaborations with relevant media outlets and influencers to promote our project and share its outputs and results.
5. Publication of a whitepaper detailing the technical aspects of our solution and its potential applications in the broader rental market industry.
6. Integration of feedback mechanisms within our platform to gather user insights and suggestions for further improvement.
