[METADATA] SDG rating

Andamio is a education platform built on Cardano. With learner tokens and in future Identity. You can add your education achievements to your verified credentials.

4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

Gamechanger allows you to create transactions with minimal effort, using JSON. The wallet has an integrated backend. This allows you to interact with the Cardano blockchain, from very simple to very advanced. Without the need of running your own backend.

You can click this link of a simple transaction, to see for yourself. Click the right arrow 5 times and then "I agree" to create an empty burner wallet. You can now proceed with the transaction. If you click "Advanced" and then "Code" you can view the JSON script used. In the "Dapp Builder" section of the wallet you can convert this code into a Gamechanger link. These scripts are easy to understand, share and modify.

Andamio is a brand new education platform launched by the Gimbalabs team. And I would really like to support this effort with my own knowledge of Gamechanger. I think the Andamio project can have the power to reach a lot of people and drive education on blockchain technology.

The Gamechanger wallet has been around for a long time. And is very powerful but because of this a little different. Better education material is highly needed. I would be great to have the time to really go deep into this.

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

Using Gamechanger it is not necessary to setup a cumbersome development environment. You can start instantly using only HTML, JSON and Javascript. People using this protocol will speed up development on the Cardano blockchain 3x.

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

I have extensive experience developing on Cardano and the Gamechanger protocol. I have given several demonstration on the Gimbalabs PPBL course. I also have contributed an explanation about setting up the Nix development environment on Gimbalabs PPBL
