Provide Hotel Guest contactless Check-in experience
Using Cardano Blockchain Smart Contract and SSID
No dependencies.
This idea is being conceptualized in colloboration with Cloud10Hospitality and it will be further funded by the company as and when required.
Summary
This proposal outlines the implementation of a secure and efficient Hotel Guest Identity Verification and Check-in system using Cardano blockchain technology. Leveraging the robust features of Cardano, we aim to enhance the guest experience, streamline hotel operations, and ensure the highest standards of data security.
Objectives
System Overview:
Our proposed system will utilize the Cardano blockchain to store and verify guest identity information securely. The process involves the following key components:
Benefits for Guest and hoteliers
Benefits for Cardano
Implementing a Hotel Guest Identity Verification and Check-in system on the Cardano blockchain aligns with the industry's growing need for secure, efficient, and privacy-focused solutions. We are confident that this proposal will not only elevate the guest experience but also set a new standard for data security in the hospitality sector. This Guest Experience application can be a catalyst in increasing adoption of Cardano.

Application of Cardano Blockchain
Guest experience is hot topic and there is no Cardano blockchain based application in industry to extend application and benefits of Cardano block chain such as Smart contracts, self soverign identity, Crypto Payments etc.
As we have ready industry partners to work with it, once this concept application is ready, it will be easier to increase adoption of it by implementing with our partner.
The implementation of Hotel Guest Identity Verification and Check-in using the Cardano blockchain can have several positive impacts on the Cardano community. Here are some potential benefits:
2. Enhanced Reputation and Trust: Successfully deploying a secure and efficient identity verification system in the hospitality industry can contribute to building trust in Cardano technology. Positive experiences with the blockchain in real-world scenarios, such as hotel check-ins, can enhance the reputation of Cardano as a reliable and innovative blockchain platform.
3. Use Case Demonstration: The hotel industry represents a tangible use case for blockchain technology. Demonstrating how Cardano can improve processes, enhance security, and streamline operations in a customer-facing environment serves as a real-world example of the utility and practicality of Cardano's features.
4. Community Engagement and Education: The project can serve as a focal point for engaging the Cardano community. Events, meetups, or educational programs related to the deployment can be organized, fostering a sense of community involvement and knowledge sharing. This, in turn, strengthens the Cardano community by encouraging active participation and learning.
5. Showcasing Security Features: Security is a paramount concern, especially in the hospitality industry where personal data is handled. Implementing Cardano's robust security features in identity verification and check-in processes showcases the blockchain's ability to provide a high level of data protection and integrity, reinforcing its credibility in the eyes of the community.
6. Inspiration for Future Projects: The success of the Hotel Guest Identity Verification and Check-in project can inspire developers within the Cardano community to explore and create similar solutions in different industries. This can lead to a growing ecosystem of Cardano-based applications and use cases, expanding the overall impact and relevance of the Cardano blockchain.
7. Increased Token Utility: The project may involve the use of Cardano-based tokens for transactions or incentives within the hotel ecosystem. This not only increases the utility of Cardano's native assets but also provides a practical example of how blockchain tokens can be integrated into traditional business processes.
In summary, the positive impact of implementing Hotel Guest Identity Verification and Check-in using Cardano blockchain extends beyond the immediate hotel industry. It can serve as a catalyst for broader community engagement, education, and inspire the development of innovative solutions across various sectors.

Milestone 1 : Hotel Guest App: UI Design and Tech Design
Duration: 2 months
UI Screen Design : 20 person days x $150 = $3,000
Solution Architecture and Design : 20 person days x $200 =$4,000
Business Analyst: 10 person Days x $200 = $2,000
Project Cordination and Documentation = $3,000
Total: $12,000
Total ADA @ 0.38 = ADA 31,600
Milestone 2 : Hotel Guest App: Development
Duration: 2 months
UI /Web Developer(2) : 60 person days x $150 = $9,000
Blockchain/Services Developer : 60 person days x $150 =$9,000
Project Cordination and Documentation = $3,000
Total: $21,000
Total ADA @ 0.38 = ADA 55,200
Milestone 3 : Hotel Guest App: Development and Integration
Duration: 2 months
UI /Web Developer(2) : 20 person days x $150 = $3,000
Blockchain/Services Developer : 60 person days x $150 =$9,000
Project Cordination and Documentation = $3,000
Total: $15,000
Total ADA @ 0.38 = ADA 39,500
Milestone 4 : Hotel Guest App: Project Completion Report
Project Cordination and Documentation = $1,000
Total: $1,000
Total ADA @ 0.38 = ADA 2,600
Total Budget = $49,000
Total Budget ADA @ 0.38 = 128,900
Fund Confirmed by Cloud10 Hospitality = $14,000
Fund requested from Cardano Catalyst = $35,000 ($49,000 - $14,000)
Fund Request ADa @ 0.38 = ADA 92,100
As ADA price can fluctuate during the project duration, if it drops, we shall get shortfall support from cloud10Hospitality. If we have spare budget due to increase in ADA price, we shall add some of functionalities from the phase 2 scope.
Cost is based on effort estimates for all members involved in the project. Average Cost of developer and relevent skills are taken.
Total Cost is higher than Maximum Budget permissable for a project in this category. Short fall in budget is being paid by proposer Company Cloud10 Hospitality as they will be first user of this concept once it is ready.
As this is a real use case and we have ready partner to validate requirements and trial the solution, this has much higher value for Cardano Ecosystem from Usecase and Adoption point of view.
