[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution
The Problems:
In the blockchain field today, there are hundreds of different blockchain ecosystems. Most blockchains are not technically interconnected. This leads to a lack of unity among the communities. Blockchain communities are all trying to turn themselves into "ETH killers" or "BTC killers". Therefore, the communities of different blockchains are making the blockchain field not develop strongly.
Cardano's development goal is to become a blockchain that connects all blockchains together. Therefore, community cooperation with other blockchains is extremely necessary.
The Solution:
We will create a Cardano - Bitcoin - Ethereum Collaboration Community on Facebook where all the largest blockchain communities will share information with each other. This will help the entire blockchain industry avoid unnecessary FUD from individuals and organizations that want to harm the blockchain industry. In addition, this community will also promote collaboration between blockchain platforms in many aspects:
- Community: Blockchain communities can combine to create collaboration events between blockchains
- Education: Information and knowledge of different blockchains will be shared, discussed and connected so that different communities can understand each other.
- Technology: This community helps projects and developers on different blockchain platforms to collaborate to develop projects on multiple blockchain platforms. It can create cross-chain products to serve all users in the blockchain field
[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
- Increase users: This community will help connect the Cardano community with the largest blockchain communities in the world. It will significantly increase the number of users for the Cardano ecosystem
- Reduce FUD: Most of the current FUD on Cardano comes from other blockchain communities. The reason may be because they do not have enough information and complete knowledge about Cardano. This community can provide them with full information
- Connect projects on other blockchain platforms: Multi-chain projects are always the products that all users on Cardano always want. Each blockchain will have its own strengths. From there, it can help projects serve users best.
- Increase the number of developers: The difficulty in accessing the Plutus programming language for developers can be solved with the programming knowledge provided in our community

Total request of this proposal in this fund: 85,800 ADA (50% total cost)
Why do we only need 50% of the total cost?
To ensure the requirements of the proposal in this Category
Our members have successfully built many blockchain communities. We can find (economic) benefits in the process of building this community. These (economic) benefits can completely help us solve the problem of remaining costs
[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?
Our proposal has the potential to bring a lot of users to the ecosystem. Our goal is to create a community of more than 50 thousand members in 9 months. Every day we provide a lot of information and knowledge about all 3 ecosystems Cardano, Ethereum and Bitcoin.
A lot of users on Bitcoin and Ethereum will be able to get closer to Cardano. They will receive more accurate information about Cardano.
This proposal also helps the development of the entire blockchain industry by helping to improve cooperation between different blockchains.
We only ask for 50% of the cost to implement this proposal. Because we have experience in building and operating communities on Facebook. We can completely operate and develop this community even if we do not continue to receive funding from Catalyst in the future.
Limiting FUD about Cardano for other communities will also help Cardano gain better sympathy from other communities in the blockchain field
