Cultivating competent participants in Catalyst's different roles requires increasing their agency through on-chain reputation building.
This is the total amount allocated to Adapting On-Chain Reputation to Catalyst Voices.
Contribute to the progress of Catalyst Voices by implementing on-chain, role-based reputation-building capabilities.
No dependencies.
All the educational material and the proposal’s building process would be on (an) open source Github repo(s) with Apache-2.0 license. However, the Andamio platform won’t be open source.

-Andamio is a new kind of platform for learning and contribution management, inspired by the work we've done thorough the 4 previous versions of Gimbalabs Plutus PBL. Andamio is built to enable people to onboard and contribute to collaborative projects so that they can make a meaningful impact. We envision a future where work is defined and delivered in ways that achieve the highest levels of human collaboration.
Andamio consists of a learning-management platform and a contribution-management platform that work together to create unique pathways for organizations and contributors to align on meaningful work. It uses the Cardano blockchain to provide non-custodial ways for people to build a record of learning and contribution, and it allows organizations to collaborate in solving important problems.
After prototyping and testing Andamio in 2023, we are now building Andamio for production deployment.
-Andamio whitepaper:
Contributing to a complex project like Catalyst Voices will allow us to demonstrate:
Description of Impact Measurement
1.Quantitative Impact Metrics
2.Qualitative Impact Metrics
Sharing Outputs and Opportunities
Communication Channels:
1.Milestone reports: Our milestone reports detailing project progress and impact metrics will be publicly available on the Andamio website. All of this information will also be available in written form via the Catalyst portal.
2.Community forums: We will host AMA-style sessions on Gimbalabs Playground, a weekly open space for discussion, to share updates, gather feedback, and discuss new opportunities. These events are open to all community members and will facilitate direct interaction with the Andamio team.
Andamio emerged as a product of the work that Gimbalabs has been doing since the beginning of Catalyst in the areas of education and infrastructure. The Andamio team is integrated by members of the Gimbalabs team, plus recognized and respected names in the community with years of experience in the technology industry and business. As a result, we have a solid team ready to contribute significantly to the progress of the Cardano ecosystem.
At Gimbalabs, we have built one of the best technical learning technologies in the Cardano ecosystem, with the ability to extract the fundamentals of complex topics (protocols, tooling, infrastructure, design patterns, etc) and package them into skills. That is our know-how.

ADA reference: 0.4 USD
1.Andamio instance license: 26000 ADA ---> 10400 USD
Price of the license are aligned with the price of software of that kind in the market but, without the blockchain capabilities of Andamio. The Andamio blockchain capabilities increase the value of the license. So it's at a discount price.
2.This proposal will be executed over a 8-month period. Consequently, the budget for each month of work is
300,000 - 26000 = 274000 ADA
274000 ADA / 8 months = 34250 ADA ---> 13700 USD / month
13700 USD will cover: highly efficient specialized content creation (including code development); enhance and expand the features and capabilities of the Andamio platform to serve the needs of Andamio Voices. In general, we consider that valuation fair.
