[METADATA] Category of Proposal

Wallet

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Running Eternl wallet for a prolonged amount of time, we are faced with lots of basic questions from users.

We believe it is important for users to understand the basics of the Cardano blockchain and Eternl Wallet in order to safely navigate this space. Therefore, it is important to have resources that explain basic concepts and terms to new users. 

We have started creating a wiki to serve as a guide for new users. It includes explanations of important terms as well as tutorials and user guides. So far, this has been a side project because we are a small team and need to manage our resources. But with external funding, we could hire a staff member dedicated to this task.

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

Products need to be easy to use and users need guidance when they start in the Cardano ecosystem. this project helps to achieve that goal.

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

It is difficult to define benchmarks for educational success. Of course, we can monitor page views and user statistics for our wiki, but that only shows site usage, not necessarily educational success.

 

User participation in the translation of wiki content might be a useful measure of the success of our approach.

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

We will provide monthly reports illustrating the progress of content creation. 

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

The Eternl team is well-known in the Cardano community and has been providing wallet services for some time. We have the technical knowledge and skills to create the wiki and provide useful content. We have even started setting up the wiki, as we see this as a useful and beneficial tool for Cardano novices and Eternl users alike.

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

Our goal is to provide users with as much useful content as possible. Judging by the questions that come up in our Discord, we can and have integrated new content and guidance for frequently asked questions. We will guide users in Discord to use them.

[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.

With the requested funds, we plan to add 6 to 8 articles per month to the wiki. We will focus on questions asked by our users to add immediate value. The requested funds will only cover a fraction of the total cost of building and populating the wiki, but would still be helpful. We intend to remain dedicated to this project and continue it beyond the lifespan of this proposal.

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

For each milestone (1 month), 6-8 articles will be added to the wiki. We will provide a list of the added articles each month.

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

The content of the wiki is created by a single documentation author over a period of 3 months. A part-time content creator costs about 1,500€ per month.

Funds requested are based on:

• ADA-EUR: 0.26€
• 20% slippage to account for market movements
• 3 months runtime

Total: 20,760 ADA

Amount per month: 6,920 ADA

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Informing new users and providing easy-to-follow instructions on how to use our wallet will help new users navigate this space safely.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
