[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

1. Reasons for approaching the problem:

• We were very successful in implementing the CardanoTalk for Vietnam proposal in fund 10, which is why we continue to propose phase 2 of CardanoTalk.
• The scale of the Blockchain community in general and Cardano in particular in Vietnam is growing rapidly, requiring documents and news about Cardano to be presented in a more timely and understandable manner.
• Technical information needs to be presented more interestingly and with direct interaction.
• Translating documents is also difficult because technical documents about Cardano and blockchain contain many technical words that are difficult for newcomers to understand. Even translators with a high level of English have difficulty achieving fluency, comprehensibility, and intimacy in their translations.
• The number of documents and news has increased dramatically (due to news related to government policies, Beartrap market, Bulltrap market, market collapse...), so the small number of full-time translators is not enough meet the need.
• Even though all the material has been translated and presented in text form, there are still a large number of members of the community who would prefer to hear a verbal presentation with visual stimulation and be able to ask questions questions and their answers.

2. Target audience

• CardanoTalk for Vietnamese will appeal to both those new to Cardano and those with deep knowledge of the platform. Community members will share articles, videos, documents and answer questions related to Cardano. Live discussions and chats will also be held to create interaction and interesting knowledge exchange.
• By building CardanoTalk for Vietnamese, we will create a strong network of resources, promoting the growth and sustainable development of the Cardano community among Vietnamese people. This will help increase awareness of Cardano, attract investment and develop Cardano applications in different fields, and create a passionate and supportive community for those interested in Cardano in Vietnam.

3. Solutions

• CardanoTalk for Vietnamese is an information and discussion "exchange platform" about Cardano, organized and operated by the Vietnamese community. This is a multimedia community platform where people can share, discuss and learn about Cardano in Vietnamese.
• This solution is especially important because it creates a space for Vietnamese people to access information about Cardano and participate in the community. This is notable because information about Cardano is currently being disseminated globally, but there are few in-depth Vietnamese resources and forums.
• Build a reward mechanism to encourage elite members of the community to learn deeply about Cardano and then introduce it to the community so that busy people and newcomers can grasp new information about Cardano more easily.
• Talkshow will be held every evening via Meet Zoom, lasting 90 minutes. All meetings will be recorded and uploaded to the FIMI youtube channel.
• We currently have 4 core groups and will develop a few more.

+ Every week, any community member will propose a list of priority topics they are interested in and want to know about.

+ Each core group will take on a topic on the list. Then, they will work together to learn information and analyze those topics.

+ The core group with the best preparation and the most information will be selected to present to the community via Zoom meeting.

+ There is a basic reward for a Good presentation and an additional reward for an Excellent presentation.

• Topics to present, here are some examples:

+ Technical documents (Hydra, sharding, smart contracts, UTXO...)

+ Cardano updates (Cardano 360, Hoskinson's live streaming video...)

+ Market news…

4. Uniqueness of the solution

• CardanoTalk Vietnamese will be one of the first and only channels specializing in Cardano in Vietnamese, creating uniqueness and attracting special attention from the Vietnamese community.
• The Vietnamese community will have the opportunity to interact and discuss later about Cardano.
• Knowledgeable members earn income from sharing about Cardano.
• CardanoTalk in Vietnamese will bring accurate information, in-depth analysis and vibrant, quality exchanges of opinions about Cardano, contributing to the creation of a strong and active Vietnamese Cardano community.

5. Why is it important to Cardnao?

• CardanoTalk for Vietnamese solution solves the challenge of lacking a community specializing in Cardano in Vietnamese. It provides a powerful media and communication channel for Vietnamese people to grasp information, discuss and share knowledge about Cardano.
• This project will bring many benefits to the Cardano ecosystem. Firstly, it will attract and connect potential users from the Vietnamese community, increasing awareness and interest in Cardano. Second, CardanoTalk for Vietnamese creates a community of passion and deep knowledge about Cardano to help them clearly see the VALUE of an asset they are investing in, and have a stronger belief in the future of Cardano. Conditions for application development and ecosystem based on Cardano in Vietnam.
• The impact of the project will be quantified by increasing the number of participants and interactions in the community. When there is a vibrant and rich community, there will be knowledge exchange, deep discussion and mutual support, thereby promoting the development and expansion of the Cardano ecosystem in Vietnam.
• Within a reasonable time frame, we hope the CardanoTalk for Vietnamese project will attract hundreds of community members and generate thousands of articles, videos, and documents related to Cardano. This active participation and interaction will create great value for the Cardano ecosystem, promoting development and making Cardano a leading blockchain platform in the hearts of Vietnamese people.

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

To measure the success of the CardanoTalk for Vietnamese project, we can use metrics and feedback from the community to evaluate the benefits to the Cardano ecosystem as follows:

1. Number of Zoom meeting attendees per session. This metric means whether the talks are appealing to a wide range of people. We will record the total number of people who attended the talk and compare it with previous talks.

2. Number of topics presented and discussed. This metric means the amount of work we have completed.

3. Number of questions during the meeting. This metric allows us to measure community response to topics.

4. Number of views of the video of the talk uploaded to Youtube. This metric means whether the topics we've covered in previous talks are attracting the rest of the community. We will consider choosing topics with high views to prioritize for future talks.

All the above metrics will be uploaded on the sponsored report file.

Our plan to share the output and results of the CardanoTalk for Vietnamese project is through different media and communication channels. Below are the main activities:

1. Online forum: We will create an online forum for CardanoTalk for Vietnamese, where people can share articles, videos, and documents related to Cardano. This will facilitate users to access and refer to information, and create opportunities to share project results and outputs.
