[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Reeve Integration with TOTVS Protheus: Enhancing Transparency and Trust in LATAM Enterprises

Integrate Reeve (the open-source financial reporting solution developed by the Cardano Foundation) with the TOTVS Protheus ERP, ensuring that critical data (transactions, invoices, balance sheets, and accounting reports) are securely recorded on the blockchain.

This integration will enable:

• Automatic and secure registration of key information on the Cardano blockchain.
• Real-time auditing without intermediaries.
• Enhanced compliance with accounting and regulatory standards.
• Increased trust among investors, regulators, and clients.

Key Differentiators

• Use of Cardano blockchain for maximum transparency.
• Seamless integration with the leading ERP in the Brazilian market (TOTVS Protheus).
• Guaranteed immutability and reliability of corporate data.
• Reduced costs and time for manual audits.

Impact and Scalability

The solution can be applied to companies of all sizes using Protheus, across industries such as manufacturing, retail, agribusiness, and services. With a modular architecture, it can also be expanded in the future to other TOTVS ERPs or third-party ERP systems, increasing market reach and scalability potential.

Technologies Involved

• Cardano Blockchain
• Reeve Platform
• TOTVS Protheus ERP
• Integration APIs and middleware

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

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

This project will extend the use of the Cardano blockchain beyond the crypto ecosystem into mainstream enterprise environments by integrating Reeve with one of Brazil’s most widely used ERP systems, TOTVS Protheus. It will showcase Cardano as a trusted infrastructure for corporate transparency, financial compliance, and immutable data storage.

By connecting Cardano to a leading business platform, the project will:

• Increase on-chain activity through frequent, automated financial and operational records;
• Demonstrate real-world utility of Cardano in solving enterprise audit and compliance challenges;
• Attract new developers and integrators to build business-focused solutions on Cardano;
• Strengthen adoption in LATAM, opening opportunities for other ERP integrations globally;
• Position Cardano as a benchmark blockchain for corporate governance, compliance, and ESG reporting.

This initiative turns Cardano into a visible and practical tool for companies, regulators, and investors, reinforcing the network’s role as a transparent, secure, and innovative global ledger.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & 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 bring a proven track record in managing technology projects, particularly in blockchain integrations and a lot of knowleged ERP systems, combined with a deep understanding of the Cardano ecosystem. I have established relationships with both blockchain developers and ERP integration specialists, ensuring the right expertise is in place. My professional background includes delivering projects with strict compliance, governance, and data security requirements, fostering high levels of trust and accountability among stakeholders.

Our team has previously been approved in 9 projects on Catalyst and all projects were successfully completed and with a project closure report containing all proof of delivery and 1 project under in development in Fund 11.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

The Blockchain-Enabled ERP: Reeve Integration with TOTVS Protheus cost directly translates into long-term value for the Cardano ecosystem by funding the development of an open-source integration between Reeve and TOTVS Protheus, a solution that can be replicated for other ERPs worldwide.

This investment creates a reusable, scalable integration layer that drives real-world adoption, increases on-chain transactions, and demonstrates Cardano’s utility in enterprise environments.

By bridging a leading LATAM ERP to Cardano, the project opens a high-value market segment, strengthens the blockchain’s positioning in corporate governance and compliance, and lays the foundation for sustained growth in enterprise adoption, yielding returns far beyond the initial funding.
