Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Cardano is a highly promising blockchain for development, and Vietnam is an equally promising market to build a strong community—a fertile ground for discovering innovative and creative projects within the APAC region. However, for the Foundation to grow its presence in Vietnam more effectively, Cardano needs a dedicated local team to attract, engage, and guide the community in the right direction. This is why Cardano Hyperteam Vietnam was created: to fulfill that mission. By putting builders at the center, we design activities tailored to their growth, aiming to foster a strong and connected community, and ultimately contribute to a more thriving Cardano ecosystem in Vietnam. We believe this will mark an important step forward, positioning the Vietnam community as a driver and inspiration for Cardano’s global expansion.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources
Total Requested: 60,000 ADA
Office & Workspace Setup – 18,000 ADA
Office rental: 2,500 ADA/month × 6 months = 15,000 ADA
Setup equipment & decoration: 3,000 ADA
Community Events – 28,800 ADA
Community Challenges & Rewards – 12,000 ADA
Operations & Management – 1,200 ADA
How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
The proposed budget of 60,000 ADA represents a well-structured investment into building long-term capacity for the Cardano ecosystem in Vietnam. Rather than being consumed by one-off activities, the funds are distributed across infrastructure, community engagement, and builder incentives in a way that reinforces each other. The office and setup costs provide a physical foundation where builders can consistently meet, collaborate, and grow projects together. This investment is not only material but also symbolic, creating a recognizable hub for Cardano in Vietnam.
The event series is designed to maximize reach and continuity. Hosting twenty-four meetups over six months ensures a rhythm of engagement, where knowledge transfer, networking, and collaboration happen on a weekly basis. These gatherings strengthen trust within the community, bring new members into the ecosystem, and maintain momentum that one-time events cannot achieve.
Weekly challenges add another layer of value by turning community engagement into measurable outcomes. With tangible rewards, participants are motivated to contribute content, share insights, and showcase their building progress. This creates a steady stream of grassroots contributions, estimated to generate dozens of posts and significant online reach. The reward structure ensures that the budget directly incentivizes meaningful participation, rather than passive attendance.
Finally, operational costs are kept lean, serving only to ensure smooth execution without unnecessary overhead. The majority of the funding flows directly into activities that touch the community, either through events or rewards, which makes this proposal highly efficient in terms of impact per ADA spent.
Taken together, this structure ensures that the 60,000 ADA translates into measurable outcomes: a physical hub for builders, sustained community engagement, consistent online visibility, and the emergence of new projects. In academic terms, the value of money here is expressed through the multiplier effect, each ADA invested creates not just a single outcome, but a reinforcing cycle of community building, knowledge sharing, and project development that continues beyond the funding period.
