[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem (200-character limit including spaces)

We are building a user interface to display profile information minted on an Âtrium profile NFT. Any user with a profile NFT will have a customizable webpage that lives in Atrium.

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

No

[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.”

No dependencies.

[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 underlying smart-contract Stoa that creates profile NFTs will be open-sourced, however this proposals outputs will not be open-sourced.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We've written a Cardano smart-contract that allows users to mint profile NFTs. These profile NFTs store user data in smart-contract datums. These NFTs can level up, as they level up from engaging with the blockchain, or social platforms they unlock customization options. Currently you can only customize the NFT that you minted by changing the datums.

With this proposal we'd like to build a customizable webpage that lives in Atrium for these NFTs. Each Profile NFT holder will have their own webpage in Atrium that they can send to other people to display their assets.

This proposal is for the MVP version of these webpages, these pages will have a customizable background and profile picture that lives in the datums of the Stoa smart-contract. After this proposal is completed, other Cardano users will eventually be able to follow these profiles to stay up to date with projects, or key KOLs in the Cardano community.

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

Bringing the community together in a new, purpose built media platform that has Cardano ecosystem at its core will enable projects to flourish in a rich environment full of innovation and connectivity.

[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 core team consists of multiple decades of front-end, back-end and full-stack experience, smart contract developers and award winning designers with experience working for some of the largest most recognized brands in the world. All team members are Cardano community natives, with a love for the community and a united vision in building products that serve the ecosystem.

We have already delivered a solid prototype with our alpha product, our first testnet saw thousands of users playing with our Staking Basket feature on testnet, and have multiple products in development close to being shipped. In this testnet, we had over 3300 unqiue stake ids complete over 50,000 transactions. You can review the prototype currently live on Cardano's preview network here: https://alpha.atrium.io

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

This milestone will output the designs for Profile NFT webpages, and the different customizations options that will be shipped in the MVP.

This milestone will output a mock Profile NFT webpage that's build in a webpage, with mock data.

This milestone will output a webpage that's tied to a real Profile NFT minted through the Stoa smart-contract. This webpage will show real blockchain data from the wallet that the NFT is held in.

This milestone will output webpages for all Profile NFT holders on Cardano's preview network. Anyone will be able to come into our site and mint a profile NFT that's tied to Cardano's preview network. These webpages will have real blockchain data shown on them, and will have some minor customization options. We will also gather user feedback, and work on bug fixes before the next milestone.

This milestone will be a review of all of the user feedback, and list any of the bug fixes that we've made to increase the user experience.

This final milestone will output these webpages launched on Cardano's mainnet with real blockchain data being shown, tied to Profile NFTs that were minted by the Stoa smart-contract also live on Cardano's mainnet.
