Additional applicants

There is no company or person to jointly propose because only Across Co., Ltd. makes proposals.

[GENERAL] Please specify how many months you expect your project to last (from 2-12 months)

6

[GENERAL] Please indicate if your proposal has been auto-translated into English from another language.

Yes

[GENERAL] Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?

No

[GENERAL] If YES, please describe what the dependency is and why you believe it is essential for your project’s delivery. If NO, please write “No dependencies.” .

In order to plan a new storage service using IPFS, we first investigate the mechanism and configuration of IPFS. When creating a prototype, IPFS is used, so the mechanism for storing data in IPFS is not open source.

[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?

No

[GENERAL] If NO, please describe which outputs are not going to be open source. If YES, please write “Project will be fully open source.”

IPFS is not open source.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

We will verify compatibility with IPFS. If this demonstration is successful, we will be able to realize a dedicated storage service for Cardano. Also, IPFS has high security, so if the demonstration is successful, Cardano will be able to spread more widely.

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

We will verify compatibility with IPFS. If this demonstration is successful, we will be able to realize a dedicated storage service for Cardano. Also, IPFS has high security, so if the demonstration is successful, Cardano will be able to spread more widely.

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

It would be a success if we could build a prototype IPFS storage service specifically for the Cardano blockchain.

The completion of the project is to analyze the configuration and mechanism of IPFS and prepare configuration diagrams and class diagrams.

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

It would be a success if we could build a prototype IPFS storage service specifically for the Cardano blockchain.

The completion of the project is to analyze the configuration and mechanism of IPFS and prepare configuration diagrams and class diagrams.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Across Road Co., Ltd. has 13 years of experience in system development and has been highly evaluated by many customers.

Our strength is that we have five experienced engineers who have completed the Plutus Pioneer Program sponsored by IOG Academy. They have the ability as Cardano smart contract developers and have been actively engaged in the development of "MetaDID Experiment", "Music Live NFT Platform", "Sustainable Apparel Trace" and "Monthly Report" adopted by Fund8 Catalyst. I was.

In addition, we have developed an NFT marketplace that supports Cardano as our own product and have built up a track record. This not only contributes to the Cardano ecosystem, but also provides a valuable service to a wide range of users.

We have a team with expertise and experience in developing Cardano, and we provide innovative solutions while keeping abreast of new technologies and trends. We promise to provide highly reliable services through flexible development and sound quality control that meet the needs of our customers.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

Since IPFS has high security, if the demonstration is successful, the goal is to spread Cardano more widely by building an IPFS dedicated to Cardano.

We will organize the verification patterns and verification results and report them in a report within the period.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

The breakdown of setup costs is as follows.

Total 70,000USD

・ Platform construction (α version) = 66,000 USD

○Product Manager 5,000USD(/month)*6 months=30,000USD

○Programmer*3 6,000USD(/month)*6 months=36,000USD

・ Third-party license fee (IPFS), tool usage fee = 4,000 USD
