[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Background

This proposal outlines the development of a user-friendly decentralized Web3 Dapp called ARISE, to be built on the Cardano Blockchain. ARISE will be designed with an intuitive and simple interface, allowing new users who are not familiar with crypto to manage their digital assets easily without the need for deep blockchain knowledge, and facilitate interaction with real world utilities, such as but not limited to, payments, transfer of value across borders, and investment activities.

Intended Outcomes

ARISE will be the seamless one-stop gateway to access Web3, and enable native services available on the Dapp to interact with real world utilities. Preparing future Indonesian users to engage with decentralized global finance, and CBDCs.

By understanding the local environment, we aim to provide a seamless user experience, where ARISE can potentially become the regional benchmark Dapp, bridging the gap between Web3 and Web2 services effectively, and fulfilling the essential needs of users' to commercially interact with businesses on a daily basis.

This will enable individuals and businesses to seamlessly take advantage of what Web3 services has to offer, and become prepared for the upcoming CBDC ecosystem, thus paving the way for a more inclusive and accessible financial landscape.

Proposed concepts

In Indonesia, e-money transactions are growing significantly, due to the adoption of e-money solutions for offline and online commerce transactions. In support of the development of digital economy and finance, Indonesia established QRIS (QR Indonesia Standard) to expand acceptance of non-cash payments. However, QRIS payment only covers a very small number of foreign transactions and is not interoperable with cryptocurrencies. The Indonesian government recognized the importance of digital innovation in the financial sector and acknowledged that Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) could offer advantages such as increased efficiency, financial inclusion, and reduced reliance on cash.

ARISE can emerge as a solution to accelerate the adoption of Web3 services and CBDCs in Indonesia, by offering a Dapp that seamlessly bridges the gap between cryptocurrency and fiat worlds, and making the interactions as user friendly as possible. 

We envision a user-friendly Dapp possessing the following capabilities:

• Regulatory friendly on-boarding and provision of services through integrated KYC solutions.
• Effortless digital asset purchasing with FIAT currencies through integrated ON-RAMP solutions.
• Seamless SWAP digital assets through integrated liquidity solution providers.
• Send digital assets directly to other Web3 users.
• Pay for goods and services at conventional stores using digital assets via integrated OFF-Ramp solutions.
• Thought leadership and educational content modules offered in Dapp, either generated in-house or provided by local Web3 communities, to facilitate intuitive capacity building.

All these functionalities being available within a single DApp, can potentially eliminate the need to switch between applications, thus significantly reducing complexity for future users. 

With these concepts in mind, and driven by the vision of “Unlimited Possibilities” whilst purposely considering a regulated service aggregation approach, we believe ARISE could offer an adequate and comprehensive solution to boost user adoption in Indonesia for the imminent release of CBDCs.

Second movement; Start to Start

Why ARISE?

User-Centric Approach: Ideating User-Friendly Solutions By Understanding Their Context

• ARISE will first seek to confirm, or question, and expand on its original assumptions of the current state of acceptance of Web3 in Indonesia.
• From that exercise to deduct the right path of development, partnership landscape, core offtakers, which will influence feature conceptualisation, and fulfill future user’s needs.

Regulatory Friendly: Ideating Solutions That Sits Well With Businesses, Regulatory Bodies And Users Instead Of Alienating

• ARISE will be designed as a regulatory friendly vehicle, to nurture accelerated adoption.
• Compliance with local regulations builds trust with regulators, fostering a collaborative environment for developing and scaling innovative solutions.

Aggregated Solutions: Ideate On Top Of Readily Available Solutions To Execute And Release Fast

• Assemble solutions from existing providers that already comply with local context and possess a knowledgeable user base.

360 Design Thinking: Ideate As By Considering An Ecosystem That Takes Into Account Commercial And Educational Stakeholders, And Not Just Users

• Solution design thinking that considers end users as units that exist within a pre-existing commercial environment.
• Building solutions that solve needs for users while complying with how businesses and service providers currently serve customers.
• By making our future solutions compliant with businesses and their practices, we indirectly engage end users to adopt our solutions as a more efficient and transparent option, to fulfill their needs.
• By interacting with thought leadership and matters experts within their respective fields, and bringing to platform educational content, our solutions can easily be digested and validated by stakeholders.

The leverage

Captive Market: Indonesia Innovates Through Its Youthful Demography

Indonesia already possesses an engaged Web3 user base, with over 17 Million digital asset holders, that continuously seek to better understand the space, discover new utilities and identify new investment opportunities.

However it is a fragmented landscape, a maze of disconnected services (siloed environments), where users need to juggle multiple DApps and navigate complex journeys to achieve simple tasks.

It’s an environment where the majority of Web3 projects currently available on the local market do not address the “Mass Adoption Problematic”, which offers the opportunity of introducing solutions that enables easy access for new blood to the decentralized environment, instead they focus on “Capturing And Taking Away The Attention of Existing Web3 Native” users to interact with their services.

We see this as an opportunity, where a user-friendly “One-Stop Aggregated Gateway” that seamlessly connects users to global Web3 services can not only empower them, but also bring benefits to existing Indonesian Web3 projects by providing easy access to a wider audience.

This upcoming bridge of “Aggregated Solutions” that prioritizes user experience, will enable users to harness the power of innovation offered by Web3, while preparing for the future release and added security of CBDCs. 

Proposed Values to the results expectations:

The proposed project aims to be a seamless bridge between Web2 and Web3 based services, empowering existing users and newcomers. Enabling them to seamlessly benefit from services offered by both environments, and simplify daily interactions by merging these tools into their routines.

This initiative also seeks to address the knowledge gap and eliminate the complexities often associated with blockchain technology, empowering a wider audience to embrace its potential benefits.

To achieve the proposed project’s goals, we will begin by ideating on a comprehensive suite of features that cater to the needs of new users and address the challenges they may face when interacting with blockchain-based services. These features will be designed with simplicity, security, regulatory compliance, take into account existing economic environment considerations, and utmost ease of use for users.
