[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Solvel Flow is a platform that connects requesters who who need to be solved their problem with solvers who provide solutions by their expertise, knowledge. Users can register as either requesters, solvers, or both, and the platform provides a streamlined system for managing tasks. Solvers can browse through these tasks, pick those that match their skills, solve them, and earn money.

Flow of Funds in Solvel Flow:

• Requesters deposit ADA and allocate a budget in ADA to post tasks on the platform. Solvers browse through a categorized list of issues to solve them based on their expertise. The platform ranks tasks by budget, prioritizing higher-paying tasks in the list. Solvers can offer discounts to increase their chances of being selected, especially when they are new to the platform. Upon task completion, the platform deducts a service fee, and the remainder is transferred to the solver’s account. The platform also manages disputes between requesters and solvers to ensure fairness.

Overview of the System

• Solvel Flow serves two main user groups: those looking to resolve their issues (requesters) and those seeking to earn money by solving problems (solvers). Requesters can prioritize tasks by allocating higher budgets, while solvers compete for tasks by offering competitive pricing and discounts. Once a task is completed, both parties rate each other to maintain transparency and build trust within the community. The platform is designed to offer both ease of use and transparency, ensuring that both requesters and solvers benefit from a simple, effective workflow.
• Requesters and solvers can register as individuals, groups, or both, with automatic task management. Requesters log in with an ADA wallet and use ADA to post issues ranging from simple tasks to complex tutorials. Solvers can then review the tasks and select those that match their capabilities.

Key Features

• Tasks from Multiple Categories for Solvers
• Problem: It is difficult for solvers to find tasks that match their abilities.
• Solution: Solvel Flow allows solvers to choose tasks that align with their skills by tagging tasks with relevant categories during the registration process. This ensures that solvers are matched with tasks that fit their expertise, increasing their chances of being assigned more opportunities.
• Low Incentive for Knowledge Sharing
• Problem: Solvers are happy to provide assistance, but they typically end up making no money from the process. Having work without money reward suffuses the motivation to put in their experience after a while.
• Solution: Solvel Flow pays solvers in money to complete each task. The platform guarantees that solvers get paid for their answers encouraging them to share more knowledge and be more participative on the platform. And even in the long term, solvers end up better off—building a reputation and accessing higher-paying tasks the more they have requested.
• Niche Knowledge and Specific Problem-Solving
• Problem: Requesters often have very specific issues, a small facet of a larger problem, for which it’s difficult to find answers. They don't necessarily need solutions for an entire project or large-scale problem, but rather for very niche or minor issues, sometimes as simple as a single unanswered question. However, no existing platform currently helps them find solutions for these smaller, highly specific queries.
• Solution: Solvel Flow allows requesters to post even the smallest questions or tasks. The platform's system is designed to match these niche queries with solvers who have the specific expertise required, ensuring that even the most focused issues can find quick and accurate solutions. This helps requesters get answers without needing to tackle larger, unnecessary tasks.
• Task Prioritization by Budget
• Problem: Requesters want their tasks completed quickly, but there is no standardized way to prioritize tasks based on urgency.
• Solution : Urgent tasks that are not prioritized at the top can be overlooked, and manually organizing them for other departments is time-consuming.
• Solver Cost—The Challenge of Competitive Pricing
• Problem: New solvers struggle to compete with more experienced coders.
• Solution: Solvers can offer discounts, such as 20% or 30% off, to make their prices more attractive. New members can use established pricing and the marketplace to gain traction, which boosts morale and helps them build a reputation effectively.
• Conflict Management and Fraud Prevention
• Problem: Conflicts between requesters and solvers can arise during problem-solving, and without a proper system to manage these disputes, platform confidence can be undermined. Additionally, fraudulent activities can occur, making it difficult to determine which party is acting in good faith.
• Solution: Solvel Flow implements a comprehensive conflict management system that includes a review and rating system. Both requesters and solvers are rated on a star-based system, with the option to leave comments and evaluate each other’s performance. Requesters can review the portfolio and reputation of solvers before selecting them for tasks. The platform also has a dedicated support team to handle disputes and ensure fairness. By using advanced fraud detection mechanisms, Solvel Flow can accurately assess disputes and ensure that the party adhering to the agreement is fairly compensated. This system not only resolves conflicts but also builds trust within the community.

Technology Used

• Solvel Flow is a scalable, secure web-based platform built on blockchain technology to enable seamless transactions. Each user is linked to their ADA wallet and uses ADA directly to reward task performers in an honest and transparent way.
• The platform is designed to handle large amounts of data, and all related tasks are matched in real time with solvers based on their skills and tags.
• Sophisticated heuristics monitor solver performance, optimize task prioritization, and provide requesters with detailed reports on the outcomes of their tasks, supported by advanced data analytics.
• The platform also includes smart contracts and payment systems that automate payment processing to ensure fair compensation for solvers upon task completion, while also resolving disputes more efficiently.

Conclusion

The final product, Solvel Flow, will be a one-stop shop where requesters can solicit solvers for assistance in a user-friendly and transparent way. The platform leverages blockchain Cardano technology for secure transactions and smart contracts that automate payments, ensuring the service is as reliable and secure as possible for both parties. By accepting a wide variety of tasks, solvers can earn money, while requesters can solve their problems in a marketplace based on budget and urgency. With our unique ranking and review system, Solvel Flow fosters a competitive environment where accurate and timely task matching is the top priority. As a result, it proves to be a competent solution for any dispute or problem-solving needs online.

The impacts that the project brings to the Cardano ecosystem are presented as follows:

• Adding Value to the Cardano Ecosystem: Solvel Flow will offer a platform where requesters may upload requests and solvers can solve them, facilitating problem solving around the world in exchange for ADA with their own experience. The promo is the proof of concept of Cardano which can be applied in practice – when all transactions are done almost instantaneously and publicly, all collaboration participants are rewarded, thereby increasing the value of the network — and attracting more users to Cardano.
• New Wallets and Users: Solvel Flow will draw users in looking to resolve issues and earn rewards online, thus generating numerous new ADA wallets and an increasing number of users entering the Cardano ecosystem. This growth which brings more user base then in a process introduce more people to the benefits of Cardano tech enabling continuous adaption.
• Liquidity and Transactionsumption: The more people are making transactions with the network for completing tasks and receiving payments in ADA from requestors or solvers, the larger will be number of the overall transactions inside Cardano network. This enables greater liquidity and turnover, fostering a dynamic Cardano ecosystem attractive to investors and developers.
• Measurable Impact: This will include things like total number of new users , tasks completed on Solvel Flow, and total amount of ADA rewards distributed. The platform supports multiple tasks and encourages dynamic interaction between requesters and solvers — essential for broader Cardano community objectives delivering measurable social outcomes.
• Economic Opportunities: Solvel Flow opens up new economic pathways by creating opportunities for individuals to earn ADA through solving niche problems. This, in turn, spurs economic activity within the Cardano network and attracts a diverse range of talent, including developers and collaborators.
• Community engagement: Solvel Flow creates a community of mutual collaboration where both solvers and requesters are users, contributors to the ecosystem, ensuring a mutually beneficial experience. It helps to build the Cardano community by actively involving users in it and spreading knowledge , experience behind it.
• Education and Awareness Value: Solvel Flow uses their problems-solving platform to teach the public about blockchain technology and the advantages of Cardano. It does so by providing hands-on experience with blockchain transactions through the lens of Cardano, thereby raising both awareness and understanding around Cardano — why it is interesting to explore further, and about how we can really use it.
• Cardano will get even more credibility: Solvel Flow using Cardano Technology in practice has been proven to be reliable, scalable & secure so that this is an additional proof. This will improve the viability of Cardano as a reliable blockchain for real-world use-cases and generate even more projects, developers and users into the ecosystem.

[BUDGET & COSTS] Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

We plan to divide the project into 5 milestones with the following budgets and costs. (you can also refer to this budget for more details).

Providing a detailed and carefully calculated budget will ensure that the project's development, testing and growth processes are fully covered, thus promoting successful implementation and adoption on our platform. The personnel costs for this project are based on the average salary and have been reviewed and approved by experts to ensure their suitability for the project. The budget includes funds allocated for personnel, platform development and hiring experienced professionals to deliver high-quality results. The costs are based on industry standards and reasonable salaries, taking into account average salaries and freelance wages in the digital technology sector.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The Solvel Flow cost, rather, is a smart investment in delivering real-world utility and strengthening the Cardano ecosystem. This is how the cost of a project relates to its value:

• Increased Transaction Volume on Cardano: Solvel Flow will generate a large number of transactions as users complete problems and receive rewards. Each posted job and completed task results in ADA running through the system, increasing the numbers of transactions on Cardano blockchain. It all goes towards the health of the network, and you see all its practical uses going up; everyday on-chain transaction activity.
• Expansion of ADA Wallets: The more users come to the Solvel Flow, as those who are ready to pay and those who are willing to solve the problem, the wallet is generated for them. Bringing them to create ADA wallet or join the game means that Cardano ecosystem can grow in the number of active wallets as soon as they play it. This wallet growth is valuable as it broadens the user base of Cardano and thus leads to more people using the network in general.
• Increased Liquidity and ADA Flows: In the Solvel Flow, ADA is always in movement as requseters pay for tasks and solvers receive their rewards, via the task marketplace. This continuous cycle of transactions increases the liquidity within the Cardano ecosystem which results in more demand for ADA, and thus more buying/selling activity. More liquidity benefits the user experience of using Cardano which draws more users and developers into the ecosystem and hence strengthens it.
• Real-World Utility: Requesters on Solvel Flow can spend their ADA budget efficiently by allocating them to specific problem-solving tasks. Solvel Flow: demonstrating how Cardano can be used for project management & problem solving with a number of first results into task completion, solver performance and more. Indeed, this real-world utility provides a ton of credibility to Cardano as a blockchain with general-purpose real-world use cases.
• Building Trust and Transparency: Solvel Flow features a 10-star rating, comment and review system at the end of tasks that allow users to rate each other. In addition to dispute resolution, the platform has developed a problem-solution assessment system that enables users in conflict with one another to find fair solutions. The theory is based upon the built-in process that the payment transactions are automatic, plus there is complete transparency in how solvers are rewarded. The trust & transparent payment integration makes Cardano really accountable platform for secure task management.
• Fostering Community Engagement: By introducing a whole new dimension of demand—bringing requesters to solvers.All tasks result from collaboration, where solvers provide solutions and requesters receive help. It is grounded in continuous interaction that forms a support and problem-solving network, which facilitates engagement within the Cardano ecosystem. More users mean more Cardano activity, and with increased engagement, more wallets are deployed, leading to renewed ADA transactions. This growth is ultimately positive for the community.

In summary, Solvel Flow offers value for money by driving transaction volume, increasing wallet adoption, boosting liquidity, delivering real-world utility, fostering transparency, and building community engagement. These factors contribute directly to the long-term growth and success of the Cardano ecosystem.
