We will establish a Cardano Center in a real restaurant near a major station in Tokyo. This center is open to everyone.

At this center, you can consult with the affiliated SPO, or with simple questions, you can consult with the store manager who is always on duty. We will provide a place where users who previously thought it difficult to consult on social media or over the phone can consult face-to-face. Since it is attached to a permanent restaurant, it is easy to use and can also be used as a place to provide information on fraud, etc. The existence of this center gives general users a sense of security with Cardano.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

Cardano information center functionality is provided near major train stations in Tokyo and inside restaurants that are open at all times in Japan. At this information center, we will work with experts including SPO in Japan to resolve consultations regarding Cardano.

 

1. Consultation fees are basically free (some charges apply)

Although we are considering charging a fee for some advanced projects, we anticipate that simple consultations will be provided free of charge.

Free Consultation Example: 12-Word Phrase If you want to move your ADA from your Byron Wallet, you can use ADA Move it, with the support of our staff and securely synced to a high-performance PC located in the information center.

 

2. Check the authenticity of the information

When information such as wallet updates or airdrops goes up, check its authenticity. This includes contacting IOG and acting on behalf of confirmations to Cardano Foundation. The first consultation staff will be restaurant owners.

 

3. Advantages of being attached to a permanent restaurant

- By locating it alongside a restaurant, it is possible to maintain an information center even when there are few counselors.

・Users can secure a place where they can consult at any time without making a reservation.

・The consultation center introduced below, where you can consult about special fraud nationwide, is a preventative measure against fraud.

・We will eliminate misconceptions about Cardano by providing a place for light users to answer simple questions.

・I think that interaction with cooperating SPOs, including meetups, will be an opportunity for new Cardano projects.

 

For store managers, we will provide a certain level of knowledge training regarding Cardano so that they can handle even simple consultations. Regarding preliminary consultations, we will work together with SPOs that have announced their participation, but we will strive to understand the details of the work to ensure that SPOs do not prioritize their own interests.

 

Opening a center at a physical store will increase the sense of security in holding Cardano, and we aim to contribute to the further spread of Cardano in the future.

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

Impact of the project on the Cardano community

Definition: In the process of Cardano becoming popular, the existence of an official consultation center will be extremely important in order to give general users a sense of security.

・I heard that there is already official support from IOG, but I am very worried that if I get scammed, I only have support via email form. In particular, considering the advances in technology in recent years, such as audio and video spoofing using AI technology, it is important to consult at an actual facility rather than over the internet.

・It is also important that holders can interact with each other in situations other than specific events.

Impact:

Restaurant owners can also collect the opinions of many ADA holders and communicate their ideas to SPOs and engineers. These serve as starting points for new projects, as well as opportunities for feedback on already implemented product projects.

It is expected that similar facilities will be developed in large cities such as Osaka and Nagoya in the future. Of course, we hope that this project will serve as a model for similar initiatives in countries other than Japan.

As this facility is located near a major station in Tokyo and is open to anyone, members of the community can always check on the business status of a restaurant if it opens. We also plan to report the planned store location once the contract is finalized. Therefore, it is easy to verify that our project is not fraudulent.

The main success or failure of this project is: Is the store sustainable? It depends on that. However, the risk of failure is limited because two people with over 10 years of experience in restaurant management conduct thorough research before opening a restaurant. Furthermore, as we plan to collaborate with prominent Japanese SPOs and project executors, we will be able to provide Japan's highest level of consultation system regarding Cardano.

3. Japanese SPOs

By collaborating with several prominent SPOs (visible at Eastern Hemisphere Town Hall meetings and the Japanese community), we will create a state of mutual monitoring so that at least the Cardano community is not disadvantaged. Furthermore, in Tokyo, the current plan is to start the project as a restaurant that can be used at any time near a station on the main line YamanoteLine, making it easy for the local community to research. During these investigations, we would like to proactively address any functional deficiencies and operate the center as a highly effective information center.

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

The reason is primarily to prevent fraud and provide services to new entrants.

Based on damage reports from individual supporters using Cardanoscan, the amount of fraud losses in Japan exceeds 7 million ADA. According to reports from the community, there are well over 10 million ADAs. It is worth noting that a member of the Cardano Japan community has fallen victim to someone impersonating a community member. At the very least, if there had been a center operated by this project, there is a high possibility that this damage could have been prevented. Limiting your Zoom connection to our store will have a significant effect. Preventing large-scale fraud in Cardano and reducing sales pressure from fraudsters alone will pay for itself.

Additionally, if you're a newcomer, a conversation with a knowledgeable person can resolve your questions faster than multiple emails. Additionally, the emergency consultation system will greatly lower the hurdles to entry into Cardano. This is an important perspective, especially in the upcoming upward trend of crypto assets. By functioning as a regular restaurant, it will allow members of the Cardano community to interact with each other. By operating in a fixed location for a long period of time, you will have more encounters and deepen your friendships than you would at an event, and you may come up with ideas you never thought of before.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agrees to Fund 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.
