[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

The core solution will include creating a web 3.0 site with core functionalities of bounties system in which new games launched on Cardano Blockchain can part take for beta testing tasks and rewarding students for accomplishing these tasks.

This proposal introduces the concept of using the Gamers Guild Bounty Board to organize and manage bounties, which incentivize and onboard newcomers to engage in Cardano Projects.

The reason for this proposal is based on two experiences within the Cardano ecosystem which started to explore the effective use of Bounty Board.

1. Snapbrillia
2. SWARM Bounty Boards

Based on these first experiences, we believe that there still needs to be a lot to be discovered in order to launch a successful Cardano Bounty Board - StartUp. We will take learned lessons from these initiatives to further discover and explore the best use cases for bounty boards and to develop further possibilities on how to best use the Bounty systems for Web3 communities and ecosystems.

The effective use of Bounties has been explored and established by SWARM, furthermore has been successfully implemented into the SingularityNET Ambassadors program, where after one year, more than 5000 tasks and bounties have been completed by the community.

The main idea is to create 3 different levels of Bounties ( Gold, Silver and Bronze ) which allow students from the South Asia or from all over the world to engage in different levels of Bounty - difficulties.

Bounties would be incentives through Ada Tokens.

The Bounties would be hosted in the Gamers Guild Dework space:

https://app.dework.xyz/gamers-guild which will be managed by our Team

Communications between Bounties and applicants will be done via Discord and all transactions will be tracked through a Treasury System which allows us to provide a fully transparent distribution and track of rewards.

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

The impact of this proposal surely lies on the concept of a general use of Bounty Board to target Students. Outcomes from this proposal aim to conceptualize gained knowledge and experience will be used to blueprint best practices and to allow other initiatives to take benefit of achieved Bounty systems and processes and to adapt and apply these processes to their own projects.

[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?

• Number of new created wallets from Students to engage at the Bounties
