Yes

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem (200-character limit including spaces)

We are building a BitSphera dApp where football players have the freedom to use their real football skills to interact with other players worldwide. First task: develop Its non-custodial wallet.

[GENERAL] Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?

No

[GENERAL] If YES, please describe what the dependency is and why you believe it is essential for your project’s delivery. If NO, please write “No dependencies.”

No dependencies.

[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?

No

[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

By the nature of blockchain, all elements of the project that allow players to interact with each other will be open source.

The influencing factors for the long-term view of our project are as follows: The consensus mechanism, fees, and operation of the fund will not be open source as the revenue from them will be used to maintain and expand the platform to achieve our vision. https://bitsphera.gitbook.io/untitled-1/vision

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

We found that:

+ Football has a large and constantly growing player base. It is expanding into regions where it was previously unpopular.

+ The football industry is increasingly centralized.

+ The trend of combining every industry into blockchain is irreversible but not yet seen in football.

>>> So, we have designed an economic ecosystem where football players from all over the world have the freedom to physically interact with other players through training, creating and participating in challenges, creating and trading avatars, as well as betting… regardless of all barriers.

That ecosystem is BitSphera dApp on Cardano, which is based on the technological advancements of our Titã smart soccer ball (ensuring FIFA-standard size and weight, it is packed with features such as measuring shot force, revolution count, and depicting the ball's trajectory when played). This data will be analyzed to showcase the player's skills, create a 3D video, and calculate the number of BitSphera tokens the player receives. Players use these results to enhance their skills and/or participate in challenges with other players around the world.

BitSphera has the following utilities:

+ Free build-in training - Help players improve their ball control and shooting skills through the ball plays of famous players, the free virtual coach will guide them to adjust technical factors such as touch point, shot power ...

+ Move and Earn - Players earn tokens easily by a transparent and easy-to-implement income calculation mechanism. Each time a player interacts with the Titã smart ball, they will earn the Human Power Coin (HPC), the utility token of BitSphera. If players practice regularly every day, they are also rewarded with the Key Access Token (KAT), the coin that allows access to game creation. See our Tokenomics for more details.

+ Play to Earn - Players can use the coins they earned above to easily create and participate in many different challenges in the following 6 game genres:

1. Battles: Players leverage KAT to initiate games, challenging others face-to-face by betting HPC. Winners claim the bet, showcasing their skills in exciting duels.
2. Challenges (Skill-Pool Games): Participants invest HPCs in challenges inspired by renowned football plays, such as impressive free kicks or penalties. Prizes, a percentage of total fees, grow with increased participation, and creators retain remaining HPCs.
3. Superstar challenges: Classic shots like Roberto Carlos' banana shot or Zidane's freekick become daily challenges. Players pay entrance fees, with prizes awarded weekly and monthly for shots closest to the sample. The remaining amount will gradually increase and be awarded to a shot that is the same as the sample shot.
4. Club competition: Players can gather into clubs, and a club can choose a football skill set to challenge other clubs to play directly or indirectly against them for a grand prize contributed by all participating clubs.
5. Team tournament: Aligned with major football events worldwide, team tournaments keep fans engaged. Players qualify to represent their clubs or countries, competing in tournaments against other clubs or countries. Your national team may not be winning the World Cup, but your team can still triumph in BitSphera’s very own World Cup.
6. Online Live events: Hosted events provide a dynamic platform for players and hosts to organize activities. Participants can join, bet, and spectate live from any location, creating a vibrant and inclusive community experience.

+ Peer-to-peer betting - Its betting mechanism allows players to bet against each other legally.

+ NFTs - Easily create & trade an avatar, sport wear Items

BitSphera, the first physical Move-to-Earn and Play-to-Earn football game is designed for those seeking fun, skill, and profitability in football. It engages players and benefits both players and the blockchain industry, bringing new life to Cardano through the world's most multiplayer sport.

To realize the project, We will perform the following tasks in turn:

now-6/2024:

• Introduce projects: Website Release (done: https://bitsphera.com )
• Develop a non-custodial wallet - (Fund11)
• Create tokens (native token)
• Build pioneering customers: Airdrop tokens

from mid-2024

• IDO tokens
• Extend users and complete the dApp
• Empower users

In this Project Catalyst funding request, our goal is to develop a non-custodial wallet (BitSphera wallet) on the Cardano blockchain. This is the first feature needed for users to join the next stages. This wallet will allow users to easily register with their existing accounts, such as Google, Facebook..., convert project tokens to stablecoins, and easily transfer project tokens to other users through minimalist methods. This task is divided into the following three milestones:

• M1: Define Requirements - 200 hours (1 month)
• M2: UI/UX design - 200 hours (1 month)
• M3: Create an interactive prototype of the wallet, run tests on Cardano testnet, launch beta version - 800 hours (4 months)

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

BitSphera will provide more use cases for the Cardano through the following benefits:

+ Diversify the ecosystem: Bring to the Cardano a new form of sports game.

+ Increase the number of participants: Bring the Cardano many users from the world's most popular sport.

We will share outputs and results through the channels below:

+ Our website. https://bitsphera.com/

+ Our Whitepapers. https://bitsphera.gitbook.io/untitled-1/

[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?
