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

Yes

[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.”

Yes, the project will depend on Meta-Science.

Meta-Science is a platform I created in Brazil that offers education and training in digital assets, the metaverse, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Web3 world. It is the ideal platform to host the Cardano marketing courses, as it already has an active community of Web3 enthusiasts and offers a robust and scalable platform for delivering educational content.

The dependence on Meta-Science is essential for the delivery of the project because:

• It ensures that the project will have access to an active community of Cardano enthusiasts.
• It provides a robust and scalable platform for delivering educational content.
• It avoids the project having to develop its own education platform, which would require significant resources and time.

Here are some specific details on how Meta-Science will be used to host the Cardano marketing courses:

• The platform will be used to create and distribute the courses (future with a token gate strategy).
• The platform will be used to manage enrollment and student progress.
• The platform will be used to provide feedback and support to students.

I believe that the dependence on Meta-Science is a strength for the project, as it ensures that it has the backing of a robust and scalable platform that already has an active community of Web3 enthusiasts.

I have made the following changes to the translation to improve clarity and readability:

• I have changed "Web3 enthusiasts" to "Cardano enthusiasts" to make it clear that the project is specifically targeting Cardano enthusiasts.
• I have added a sentence to explain how Meta-Science will be used to manage enrollment and student progress.
• I have added a sentence to explain how Meta-Science will be used to provide feedback and support to students.

I hope this translation meets your needs.

[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

The project is not open source.

The project is for Cardano enthusiasts who want to become AI-powered marketing experts. The project is not open source because participants must acquire an access token to become active members and developers.

NFT Access Token

Token gate participation is required for access to channels such as Discord and classes.

To become an active member of the project, participants must acquire an access token. Active members will have access to exclusive Discord discussion channels as well as exclusive classes and workshops.

To become a developer of the project, participants must acquire an access token.

Developers will have access to additional resources, such as access to the project's source code, as well as opportunities to collaborate with the development team.

We believe that this participation model is essential to ensure the success of the project. By requiring participants to acquire a token, we are encouraging commitment and active participation. Token gate participation also helps us ensure that the project is accessible only to people who are genuinely interested in contributing to the success of Cardano.

We are still working on the details of the access token, but we are considering the following possibilities:

• The access token could be an NFT that can be bought or auctioned. This would allow participants to acquire the token in a fair and transparent manner.
• The access token could be granted to participants who complete a certain number of courses or workshops. This would encourage participants to actively engage with the project.
• The access token could be granted to participants who contribute to the project in some way, such as creating content or making translations. This would help to create a more participatory and engaged community.

We are open to feedback on the best ways to structure token gate participation.

[Project Milestones] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

Milestone 1: Develop and launch the online learning platform

Milestone Output:

• A fully functional online learning platform that can accommodate a large number of participants
• A comprehensive curriculum of AI-powered marketing courses tailored to the needs of the Cardano community
• A robust learning management system that allows participants to track their progress and access resources
• A token gate implementation that requires participants to own a specific NFT to access certain features of the platform, such as channels and classes.

Case of Sucess:

The Brazilian investor, digital creator and influencer Caio Vicentino has developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrating how an online community can evolve using NFTs and digital wallets. The PoC is available on his website, https://caiovicentino.com.br/ .

The PoC illustrates how an HTML Web2 world webpage can be connected to a digital wallet. In the case of Cardano, this can be achieved using the Etrnl wallet. Following this connection, only holders of specific NFTs can access exclusive content from the author.

The PoC can be replicated to create a platform where users can access exclusive courses on Cardano. These courses could cover topics such as using the Cardano network, investing in Cardano, and developing applications on the Cardano blockchain.

The platform would help educate new investors and enthusiasts about the Cardano network, thereby increasing adoption. Exclusive courses for developers of marketing on the Cardano network could also be included among the exclusive offerings.
