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

We are opening the door to the 400 million registered users of the Epic Games platform by providing entertainment while raising the profile of the Cardano ecosystem, we are also building awareness of the opportunity and providing education about the Cardano blockchain and ecosystem.

We will Help game designers monetize their work.

The effectiveness of our approach will be demonstrated very straightforwardly, overtime we will monitor the number of installations of our plugin and number of games engaging with the Cardano ecosystem.

Our projects access and penetrate multiple communities, these communities are looking for opportunity to create value and also entertainment.

The communities we will impact include the following:

Catalyst Community

Epic Community

125k + Carl Henry Global community

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

Carl Henry global has been a part of both the Cardano and Catalyst community for about two years, we have delivered on every funded project including building 8 integrated payment systems for Coti and promoting the building of Cardano hubs around the world. http://cardanohubs.com/

Also in fund 9 we made proposals that would build upon our funded work in fund seven and eight, unfortunately our fund 9 proposals did not attract funding, this did not stop us from continuing to self fund ongoing commitments in our fund 9 proposals.

The Cardanoverse was a major undertaking and which we have delivered upon by publishing our first metaverse 3D virtual world on the Unreal Engine Fortnite platform. http://thecardanoverse.com/

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

On the Unreal Engine marketplace Plugins Exist for other blockchains but not for Cardano, we're going to correct that and show developers the benefits of working with Cardano rather than other blockchains.

[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.

As using milestones is a new approach and we do not know the exact start date, therefore only month numbers have been stated: Funding Amounts are stated in ADA:

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

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

Most of the work to deliver this proposal will be carried out in house and headed by Carl Henry personally, although due to time constraints and occasionally specialised skill sets we will engage contractors, as we have over the last seven years, through the upwork platform where we have spent over $100,000 which means we understand how to get value for money on how to engage the correct contractors as required.

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

It is very clear that making it easier for game developers to use Cardano native currencies and incorporating Cardano projects into their gaming experiences will be of massive benefit and very effective for Cardano adoption worldwide.

We are very adept at choosing the correct contractors and due to the bidding system on up work we will always be able to assess applications and ensuring that the best value for money is achieved.

EXPOSURE TO THE FORTNITE COMMUNITY

Epic has over 400 million registered users of Fortnite & other top games worldwide with 70 million monthly players, Unreal Engine is used to build the most games in the world - Giving game builders the option of using Cardano for their game economies will be a massive benefit to the Cardano Community & ecosystem:
