Education

[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Who you’re targeting, how you’ll reach them, and why this matters for Cardano.

We target Vietnamese-speaking beginners, students, and aspiring developers who are interested in blockchain but have difficulty accessing credible, easy-to-understand educational content in their native language.

We will reach them through:

• Blockchain clubs and student networks at universities
• Online community channels in Vietnam

Why this matters:

Vietnam is a country with a strong interest in Blockchain. By providing high-quality Vietnamese content, we help new users get acquainted with Cardano, increase ADA utility, and grow the community.

Provide a list of key activities of your project?

• Translate and localize 12 Cardano educational scenarios into Vietnamese
• Record professional Vietnamese voiceovers
• Animate or re-dub existing videos with Vietnamese content
• Upload videos to YouTube
• Write and publish 12 supporting articles in Vietnamese
• Promote content through blockchain student communities and social media
• Gather feedback and measure reach & impact

What are your success metrics?

• 12 fully localized videos with Vietnamese voiceover produced and published
• 12 articles published on YouTube platform
• At least 1,500 views per video within 3 months of release
• Shared with over 10 student/university communities across Vietnam
• User feedback survey with over 70% rating the content useful
• Positive compliments/interactions from the Cardano Vietnam community

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

We are building a comprehensive Vietnamese education platform designed to help new users easily understand and interact with the Cardano blockchain. The platform features animated explainer videos along with clear Vietnamese articles, simplifying complex topics about Cardano into accessible learning material.

Each video is thoughtfully designed to visually explain how Cardano works — from staking and governance to using DeFi tools — ensuring that even advanced features are easily accessible to beginners. For users who prefer to read, similar content is also available in article format.

Our goal is to provide clear, localized learning content that empowers Vietnamese users to confidently explore and participate in the Cardano ecosystem — whether they are students, developers, or everyday ADA holders.

We have done tutorials on Cardano programming languages and will be releasing them on the Blockchain Pioneer Student Club educational platform. However, there are still many features and applications that need to be explained, so we propose to create 12 more videos to help explain the topics that have not been covered.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

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

This project will help Vietnamese users understand and engage with Cardano in a native language context. By offering multi-format educational content (visual, auditory, and reading), we cater to different learning styles. It also provides a trustworthy platform for newcomers, students, developers, and the general public to start their journey into Cardano confidently.

It will reduce the learning barrier, support onboarding, and empower communities to grow around localized, accessible education.

[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?

Blockchain Pioneer Student Club fully understands the importance of trust and accountability when building on Cardano. As a pioneering blockchain student organization in Vietnam, we have built a strong track record through educational initiatives, public events, and successfully delivered Catalyst-funded projects with transparency, efficiency, and a community-first approach.

We have successfully organized previous cardano hackathons:

• Cardano Blockchain Hackathon Vietnam 2024: https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-blockchain-hackathon-vietnam-2024-22-9-2024-recap/136286

• Cardano Blockchain Hackathon 2025: https://forum.cardano.org/t/cardano-blockchain-hackathon-vietnam-2025/147650

In addition, we have organized seminars to connect speakers and founders of prominent projects on Cardano such as: Minswap, C2VN, VTechCom...

Validation of Feasibility

To ensure effective financial management, we will adopt the following strategies:

• Budget Planning: We will meticulously allocate funds for development, operations, and marketing activities.
• Transparent Cost Tracking: Maintaining clear records of all expenses will promote accountability and visibility.
• Regular Reporting: Regular reports will help us evaluate financial performance and guide our decisions.

To validate the viability of our approach, we will use both quantitative and qualitative measures:

Quantitative Validation:

• Track the number of modules upgraded and added via GitHub.
• Track the number of tasks exported from Jira
• Track user engagement through the number of active users on the platform.

Identity Validation:

• Conduct user satisfaction surveys to gather insights.
• Measure the level of excitement in project presentations to gauge interest.

Transparency and communication are fundamental to us. We prioritize open dialogue with all stakeholders, provide regular updates, and foster a collaborative atmosphere so that everyone is involved in the project’s progress.

[Final Pitch] Budget & Costs

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

We estimate that it will take 72 hours to complete a video, including:

• 12 hours to write the script
• 2 hours to record the voiceover.
• 10 hours to create the scene.
• 48 hours to create the vivid animation effects.

At a cost of $40/hour, we have a budget of $40 * 72 hours = $2,880 for each completed video.

The total budget for 12 videos will be: $2,880 x 12 = $34,560

-> Total project budget: $34,560 = 48,000 ADA * 0.72

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

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

The proposed budget delivers a high-impact educational campaign at a cost substantially below the international market rate for animated and localized educational content. This is achieved through a mission-driven approach, in-kind contributions from the Blockchain Pioneer Student Club network, and leveraging existing partnerships with university communities across Vietnam.

Beyond cost efficiency, the project maximizes value by:

• Combining multiple learning formats (animated video, written guides, and direct application links) to address different learning styles and improve knowledge retention.
• Ensuring long-term usability: once produced, the content will remain relevant and reusable for future onboarding campaigns, without requiring significant additional investment.
• Targeting a high-potential market: Vietnam’s growing blockchain user base and strong student community represent a strategic opportunity for Cardano adoption, with a low cost-per-user acquisition compared to traditional marketing channels.
• Creating a replicable model: the approach, materials, and results will be open source, enabling other communities to adapt and expand the initiative to their own regions.

This proposal offers not only a cost-effective way to increase DeFi adoption in Vietnam, but also a sustainable, scalable framework that strengthens Cardano’s global presence over time.
