[METADATA] SDG rating

SDG Goals

4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

SDG Subgoals

4.4 - By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution.

Despite the great value of artistic collections, especially fashion collections, they are not adequately preserved and the originals continue to be lost because of the enormous cost of preserving. Even today, some creators and collectors rent warehouses and other storage facilities to store the actual objects, and some of them spend a lot of money to keep the objects in good condition, including temperature control. If collectors stop their activities financially or mentally, many of them are lost and we can only see them in pictures. (They may also be lost due to natural disasters or other unforeseen accidents.)

With our solution, "Legendary Humanity," we'll scan masterpieces in the collection that is worth to be preserved and archiving as "Digitalize Article." With the very precise 3D data thus left behind, and we'll make the 3D modeling, people of the future will be able to actually touch masterpieces of fashion by going to the digital museum or so and observing them from a variety of 360-degree angles.

Thi Digitalize Articles will be minted as NFTs and It is a certificate of ownership of a real masterpiece and preservation of a masterpiece. The 3D modeling data can be used as a fashion for avatars in the metaverse linked with real-world fashion.

This also connects creators, collectors, and others with opportunities to be exposed to current and future people interested in the industry, to support the industry, and to learn.

(Collections are scanned by 3D studios as masterpieces of humanity, so they are carefully screened for authenticity, value, and significance before being created as 3D models.)

Using blockchain technology, our solution gives the incentive as below for collectors to preserve their collections.

①Commercialization Opportunity

The 3D model (Digitalize Article) that exists as a digital twin (snapshot) of the actual object is also generated as a Digitalize Article NFT, providing a new commercialization opportunity that can be bought and sold in the NFT marketplace.

②Reward system to preserve masterpieces as 3D data

Collectors who support the preservation of their collection can get a special badge for it, and through the activity of this ecosystem, they can get an additional badge.

Building DAO of art/fashion fans, students, and quality collectors

In addition, the project will help to develop a community with collectors that contribute to the promotion of the industry and provide opportunities for many people to come into contact with great works of art and to help promote them. By bringing collectors closer together, we can facilitate community building, communicate the value of collections more clearly, and build an economic sphere of people who understand their value. These platforms will be joined by collectors and others who participate in this economic sphere as DAO members, and together they will enjoy the benefits of this relationship.

We've already built museum #1, called La Museum, and you can check the Museum itself and the 3D models of the masterpieces that our 3D studio scanned and modeled. (This is the prototype for us)

Through this proposal, we'll build the feature below.

1. Minting CNFT feature ( To proof of the possession, to release the museum ticket)
2. Wallet Connector ( To enter the Museum and To provide DAO Reward system)
3. Discord connection for CNFT
4. Update the top page for the museum

We are targeting the metaverse market, 3D scan data is expected to generate many experiences in the future. The global metaverse market (total of infrastructure, hardware, software, and services) is expected to grow from 8,614.4 billion yen in 2022 to 123,973.8 billion yen in 2030.

(https://www.soumu.go.jp/johotsusintokei/whitepaper/ja/r05/html/nd247520.html) (Metaverse market (size 2022-2030 | Statista)

Also we are targeting3D scan data will be used in the digital twin market. Digital Twin Market Size -A digital twin is an object or situation in real space reproduced as a "twin" in a virtual space. It is increasingly used for simulation, optimization, and evaluation of effects, impacts, and risks in various fields such as manufacturing and healthcare, and the global digital twin market is expected to grow from 283 billion yen in 2020 to 3,914.2 billion yen in 2025.

Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications 2023 White Paper on Information and Communications (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1296187/global-digital-twin-market-by-industry/)

We'll start on Ethereum first, but we'll make the Cardano Wallet connector and minting system on Cardano. Because in Japan, there are not so many who have minted or used CNFTs, but through this project, we aim to onboard people who don't know about the Cardano Ecosystem to our space.

We have a strong connection with the Japanese NFT scene, and our marketing team has a community of over 80k people.

After starting service on Cardano, we plan to incentivize our users to select the Cardano Ecosystem through a higher reward or discounted price than Ethereum NFTs.

Thus, we also bring new transactions, value, and a great use case to the Cardano ecosystem.

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

Our Project's Contribution: Our solution directly addresses key challenges within the Cardano ecosystem, significantly enriching it by:

• Enhancing the real world use-case for CNFTs.
• Attracting non crypto people (Art collectors/Fasion lovers / students) by the reward of our ecosystem and, thus expanding the Cardano community.
• Onboarding major fashion brand, artists, and enterprise onto Cardano Blockchain and spread our ecosystem real use-case

Impact Measurement: To measure our impact, we will use quantitative metrics:

• Tracking the increase in the number of registered people in Legendary Humanity discord (DAO),
• Tracking the increase in the number of resistered enterprises/ collectors on our platform

Sharing Outputs and Opportunities: We will share the outputs and opportunities of our project through the following methods:

• During and after the completion of the project, we plan to spread its outputs. This will include providing monthly and milestone reports, as well as regular town hall meetings.
• We will share information about the project's outputs, impact, and opportunities with community members. The close-out report and video will be publicly available on YouTube. Additionally, we will share updates on our website and social media platforms.

In conclusion, our project not only promises an increased adoption of the Cardano platform and bring a new real world related use-case on Cardano Blockchain.

[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?

Our team is aptly suited and equipped to successfully deliver this project. We possess the requisite capabilities that uniquely position us to execute this project to high standards of trust and accountability.

Basically, we are based on 3D scan and modeling technology to build this ecosystem.
