[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

The goal of the solution we propose is: Continue to develop the Cardano news Youtube channel as a TV channel that brings current news and to convey the latest, most accurate and attractive information, making it easier for users to access the Cardano ecosystem, contributing to the development of the Vietnamese Cardano community.

Based on the results achieved by the project [CaFi] Cardano news - Vietnamese version (implemented in the 12 Catalyst fund and expected to be completed on October 30, 2024): we once again affirm that the information needs for the Vietnamese Cardano community are very necessary. The project provides short news videos, condensing key information, the Newsletter provides users to quickly receive all the original information content of Cardano. The channel [CaFi] Cardano news - Vietnamese version - YouTube will exploit the power of multimedia communication, creating novelty, rich in current events and attracting the attention of viewers, short news and going straight to the main content to save time, and easy to accept for those who do not know Cardano.

Methodology: We continue to improve the process and quality of the videos, which will be produced in a journalistic style, highlighting facts, data and analysis, and highlighting the strengths of Cardano, providing a good experience and the benefits of participating in the Cardano ecosystem. The videos will be short, concise, easy to understand and user-friendly. The videos will be posted regularly, in sync with Cardano's official channels.

Benefits for Cardano: The expansion of the Vietnamese Cardano community, the Cardano newsletter Youtube channel will help the Vietnamese community have a reliable, updated and useful source of information about Cardano. The Cardano newsletter Youtube channel attracts new people and contributes to raising awareness, interest and participation of the Vietnamese community in the Cardano ecosystem. The Cardano newsletter Youtube channel will create a space for communication, sharing and mutual support among members of the community.

Finally, with this Solution, we will promote Cardano more widely to potential users in the Vietnamese community. In addition, the Vietnamese Cardano Community is growing with thousands of people, so creating an information channel on the Youtube platform will attract more Developers to join the Cardano ecosystem.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

The Vietnamese Cardano community is growing and expanding on a larger scale, however, with diverse daily news, users' access to information is not yet selective. It is necessary to develop more reputable and updated information communication channels about Cardano to support the community in learning and acquiring knowledge. Newcomers who do not know about Cardano need to have appropriate information to grasp information about Cardano. Although there have been many proposals from the Vietnamese community to localize these documents, they are only in simple translation form, not really attractive and clearly explained for beginners. Therefore, technical information and news about the Cardano ecosystem need to be presented in a more understandable way.

For the current needs of the Vietnamese Cardano community, [CaFi] Cardano news - Vietnamese version - YouTube has partially solved the needs of Cardano users. In order to further develop the Cardano ecosystem, we will continue to develop and create journalistic-style videos, highlighting events, data and analysis related to Cardano. The videos will be read in Vietnamese. The videos will be about 3 minutes long with illustrative images that convey the content. The videos will be posted regularly, synchronized with Cardano's official information channels. The videos will be summarized from the following information sources: Charles Horskinson's youtube channel, Cardano Foundation, Input Output, https://cexplorer.io/, https://cardanofoundation.org/en/; https://cardanospot.io/.

With the next phase of the project, we want to introduce Cardano to more people, so that they can join a creative, diverse and collaborative community. To do this, we will share short and engaging videos on popular social media platforms such as: Facebook, Telegram etc. These videos will help you better understand Cardano, its outstanding features, ongoing projects and cooperation opportunities with new players.

The impact of the Cardano news Youtube channel [CaFi] will help the Vietnamese community have a reliable, updated and useful source of information about Cardano. The Cardano news Youtube channel [CaFi] will help raise awareness, interest and participation of the Vietnamese community in the Cardano ecosystem. This is a space for exchange, sharing and mutual support among community members. We will measure the impact of the Cardano news Youtube channel by tracking metrics such as views and subscriptions. We will share the output and opportunities from our project by posting statistical reports on the Cardano news Youtube channel, on the official Cardano information channels, on forums and social networks related to Cardano. We will also send statistical reports to the project's sponsors and partners.

In addition, some costs related to management work, content approval are determined based on the income of this job, working time and skills that members need to complete the product, average income in the Blockchain field in Vietnam.

The proposed cost will be a worthy reward for community members who have made positive contributions to the development of the Vietnamese Cardano community, while also encouraging new people to join the Cardano ecosystem.

The cost of the Cardano Vietnam News project demonstrates the suitability and effectiveness of the Cardano ecosystem because:

The project will create high-quality content about Cardano in Vietnamese, helping to increase awareness and participation of the Vietnamese community in this ecosystem.

The project will collaborate with reputable partners and investors in the cryptocurrency field, such as IOG, Emurgo, Cardano Foundation and other Cardano community groups around the world, to update the latest information and share practical experiences.
