[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Perception of the Problem:

Web2 and Web3 e-commerce platforms struggle to integrate multi-chain crypto payments, limiting Cardano’s ability to attract users and value from other blockchain ecosystems into the Cardano network.

Reasons for the Chosen Approach:

We will develop a multi-chain wallet widget that integrates with Web2 and Web3 e-commerce platforms, enabling seamless transactions across multiple blockchains, with an emphasis on Cardano. This will allow users from other chains, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin, to transact through the widget, bringing value into the Cardano ecosystem. By prioritizing Cardano, the solution will increase ADA’s visibility and utility in the broader blockchain space, attracting users, merchants, and developers to Cardano.

The open-source nature of this project will ensure ongoing development and community engagement, allowing Cardano to lead in cross-chain functionality while benefiting from collaboration across the blockchain industry.

Who Will the Project Engage?:

• Developers: Developers across multiple blockchains will contribute to and maintain the wallet widget, with a focus on expanding Cardano integration.
• Merchants: Web2 and Web3 merchants will benefit by accepting payments across blockchains, with an emphasis on ADA transactions, expanding their customer base while boosting Cardano’s presence.
• Users: Crypto users across different blockchains will have an easy way to transact using ADA and other cryptocurrencies, increasing opportunities for commerce while benefiting the Cardano ecosystem.

Demonstrating Impact:

• Adoption by Merchants: We will track the number of merchants integrating the wallet widget and accepting ADA and other cryptocurrencies.
• Transaction Volume: Monitoring transaction volume with a focus on ADA transactions will demonstrate the wallet’s success in driving Cardano adoption.
• Developer Contributions: Metrics such as active contributors, code commits, and GitHub activity will showcase ongoing development and collaboration.

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

This project will bring new users, transactions, and developers from other blockchain ecosystems into Cardano. By enabling multi-chain payments, Cardano will become an attractive platform for merchants and developers, enhancing ADA adoption and utility. The wallet widget’s ability to facilitate transactions across blockchains will drive new value streams to the Cardano ecosystem, strengthening its position as a leading blockchain for commerce.

[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?

I have the necessary expertise in blockchain development, decentralized governance, and community engagement, ensuring that we can deliver this project with high levels of trust and accountability. I am committed to maintaining transparency throughout the project, from the open-source development process to delivery of product.

The marketplace will be licensed under the GPL, ensuring that all code is openly available for the community to review, audit, and contribute to, which reinforces transparency and builds trust. We will provide regular updates, community feedback loops, and clear reporting on treasury contributions and project milestones.

To validate our approach, we will begin with a Proof of Concept (PoC), developing a basic version of the Widget and testing it. This will allow us to identify any technical or operational challenges early on and refine the solution based on real-world feedback.

Additionally, we will engage with key stakeholders within the Cardano ecosystem, including developers, potential users, and governance participants, to gather input and ensure the Widget aligns with community needs. Success will be validated by the active participation of users and developers ensuring that the project is both feasible and sustainable.
