In Iraq/Gulf, car washes are cash-only, so families rarely use crypto. No Cardano checkout, no discounts/loyalty, and little help at point-of-sale. A frequent, family service is the best entry point.
Pilot with partner car washes: add QR/PoS taking ADA/stablecoins. Customers scan, get 10–15% off + on-chain loyalty. Staff guide first-time wallets. Simple wash→pay→reward to normalize Cardano.
This is the total amount allocated to Car-dano Car wash (Car-pay).

What is the problem you want to solve?
In Iraq/Gulf, car washes are cash-only, so families rarely use crypto. No Cardano checkout, no discounts/loyalty, and little help at point-of-sale. A frequent, family service is the best entry point.
Does your project have any dependencies on other organizations, technical or otherwise?
No
Describe any dependencies or write 'No dependencies'
No external technical or organizational dependencies that block delivery. Merchants: We operate with signed MoUs from 5 pilot car-wash partners. If any site drops out, we redeploy the kit to a replacement partner from our pipeline. Wallets: Uses standard Cardano QR/URI (CIP-30 compatible). We support major wallets; no dependency on proprietary SDKs. Network: Requires normal mainnet access and basic mobile data. Dual-SIM devices and offline payment codes mitigate temporary outages. Vendors: Commodity devices (Android POS, printers, SIMs). If a printer/SIM vendor fails, we swap hardware or carriers—no lock-in. Other teams/funding: None. All software, training, signage, and operations are delivered by our team.
Will your project's outputs be fully open source?
No
License and Additional Information
Not 100% open source. For security/anti-fraud, the Android POS app stays closed during the pilot (reassess post-pilot). We will open source: (1) loyalty policy contracts and reference integration code under MIT; (2) the Replication Playbook (AR/KU/EN)—signage, scripts, SOPs—under CC BY 4.0; and (3) aggregate datasets and dashboard exports (no PII) under CC BY 4.0. Releases will be in public repos and linked from the dashboard at Milestone 3 close-out.
Please choose the most relevant theme and tag related to the outcomes of your proposal.
Business Services
Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).
In Iraq, most daily purchases are cash and families rarely touch crypto. We start where habits already exist: car washes. Partners add a simple point-of-sale with QR codes that accepts ADA and Cardano stablecoins. Customers get 10–15% off and an on-chain loyalty stamp. Staff guide wallet setup in Arabic/Kurdish. Regular washes become repeated, trusted Cardano use. Unlike broad awareness drives, this is pay-and-learn with verifiable on-chain records, receipts, and kid-friendly scripts—replicable shop by shop
Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.
A mobile point-of-sale app shows the total in Iraqi dinars and ADA, creates a QR code, and confirms the payment on Cardano. Success triggers an automatic on-chain reward (NFT stamp or points). After N stamps a smart contract unlocks a free wash or discount. A web dashboard shows sales, rewards, and CSV exports. We pilot in 3–5 busy Baghdad/Erbil locations with signage and “family days.” Works with major Cardano wallets, Arabic/Kurdish/English UI, plus low-signal fallback via payment codes.
Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.
9-month targets: ≥5,000 on-chain payments; ≥2,000 unique wallets; ≥30% repeat users; ≥100 free-wash/discount redemptions; 3–5 merchants live; ≥25 staff trained. Quality: checkout ≤60s; success ≥95%; acquisition cost ≤1 ADA on event days. Education: ≥2,500 guided wallet sessions; pre/post surveys show higher awareness. Scale: public dashboard, ≥200 playbook downloads; ≥10 new merchants in pipeline; merchant NPS ≥8/10; cashier confidence ≥90%; fraud/loss <0.5%.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Cardano adoption in Iraq and the wider Gulf will not begin with speculation or trading dashboards—it will begin when a family makes a small, trusted purchase and discovers that paying with ADA or a Cardano-stablecoin is simple, safe, and worth doing again. Our pilot turns that insight into practice. We will equip busy, trusted car-wash locations in Baghdad and Erbil with a minimal point-of-sale (POS) flow that accepts Cardano payments and automatically mints an on-chain loyalty reward. The experience is coached and localized, the evidence is public on-chain, and the building blocks are packaged so other teams can copy the model in cafés, salons, pharmacies, and small retailers across the region.
Why car washes?
Most daily purchases in Iraq are cash, and many families have never completed a crypto transaction. Car washes are a practical “first wallet” setting: the purchase is small and frequent, the environment is family-oriented and trusted, and repeat visits are normal. Habit forms by doing the same thing every week or two, not through a one-off promotion. If we make scan → pay → earn a stamp routine at the car wash, Cardano becomes part of everyday life rather than a curiosity.
This approach fits Iraqi retail realities. Cashiers often work outdoors with glare, noise, wet hands, and gloves; connectivity can be spotty; lines must move quickly. Our solution is built for these conditions with right-to-left Arabic/Kurdish layouts, large touch targets, offline-aware payment codes, and receipt printing. Our team are Iraqi engineers and operators who have shipped retail tech and community programs locally; we speak the languages at the counter and understand constraints around shift changes, cash-first accounting, and staff turnover.
What we’re building:
Android POS app with three jobs:
Fast checkout in IQD with Cardano settlement. The cashier enters the total in Iraqi dinars; the app shows the ADA/stablecoin amount and renders a QR code. The customer scans with a major Cardano wallet (CIP-30 compatible) and approves. The POS confirms on-chain, then prints or displays a receipt with an explorer link or hash.
Automatic on-chain loyalty. Each successful payment mints a visible reward—an NFT “stamp” or points under an open policy. After N visits, a redemption script unlocks a free wash or discount. Rewards are transparent to the merchant and verifiable by the community.
Evidence and operations. A merchant dashboard shows live counters (payments, unique wallets, redemptions), average checkout time, and success rate. Managers can export CSVs; the public sees aggregate, privacy-safe metrics with explorer links. The app logs errors and reconciles offline codes to the chain when connectivity returns.
Field kit and training:
Around the software we provide a complete kit: Android handhelds in protective stands, receipt printers, SIM data, chargers; clear lane signage; Arabic/Kurdish/English “How to pay” cards; laminated cashier quick guides; and micro-training modules. We certify cashiers before solo operation and run “Family Day” help desks during peak times so first-time users get friendly coaching and a small first-payment bonus. Everything is tuned for one action at the counter: scan, pay, earn.
The user experience
A family arrives. Signage reads “Cardano accepted here” and the loyalty offer. The cashier rings the total; a QR appears. The parent opens a Cardano wallet, scans, and approves. The POS confirms, prints a receipt with the transaction hash, and the wallet shows a new stamp. Each visit increments the counter. When the threshold is reached, the app verifies redemption and applies the discount or free wash. No forms or personal data—just a tiny, transparent on-chain asset that proves the visit and delivers visible value.
What’s novel:
This is the first on-chain loyalty at Iraqi retail, localized in Arabic/Kurdish and hardened for semi-outdoor, high-traffic environments. It is not a marketing splash or a classroom session detached from real spending; it is a verifiable adoption engine. We will open-source the loyalty policies and reference integration code and publish a Replication Playbook (Arabic/Kurdish/English) with signage files, cashier scripts, environment checklists, and SOPs. Any Cardano team can copy the model with minimal additional engineering.
How we will prove impact:
We will measure what matters and publish it in near real time:
Explorer-verifiable payments and redemptions with links, never personal data.
Unique wallets interacting with the merchant policy scripts.
Quality metrics: average checkout time, success rate, refund rate, and fraud/loss rate.
Operational proof: photos of installed kits and signage, signed MoUs, training logs (≥30 cashiers certified), QA mystery-shopper reports, and brief customer/cashier confidence surveys.
All milestone claims will be backed by a public dashboard and downloadable CSVs so reviewers and the community can audit outcomes, not just read a narrative.
Milestones and targets (9-month pilot)
Milestone 1 – MVP ready and partners signed.
Ship the POS app MVP with Arabic/Kurdish/English UI, payment verification, and live on-chain loyalty (NFT stamp or points). Prepare device kits; complete a light external security review; sign ≥5 pilot partners.
Evidence: demo video of the full flow, contract policy IDs, screenshots, and photos of equipment/signage.
Milestone 2 – Soft launch and first adoption.
At least 4 pilot locations go live with signage; ≥30 cashiers trained and certified; “Family Day” help-desk events held. The public dashboard (alpha) launches.
Targets: ≥1,500 on-chain payments, ≥750 unique wallets, ≥40 redemptions, avg checkout ≤60s, success ≥95%.
Evidence: dashboard URLs, explorer links, CSVs of payment and reward hashes, signed training logs, QA reports, and event summaries.
Milestone 3 – Stabilize and publish the playbook.
5 merchants operate steadily and reach cumulative targets of ≥6,500 payments, ≥2,500 unique wallets, and ≥150 redemptions. We publish the Replication Playbook and the open-source repo for loyalty policies and integration docs.
Evidence: final dashboard and downloadable datasets; playbook and repo URLs; surveys showing merchant NPS ≥8/10 and cashier confidence ≥90%; a close-out report and 3–5-minute video; ≥10 new merchants in the pipeline (forms or MoUs).
Risk management:
Connectivity: dual-SIM devices, offline payment codes with later reconciliation, printed receipts, clear “paid” indicators.
Staff turnover: micro-training, laminated quick guides, supervisor sign-off before solo shifts.
User hesitation: guided wallet setup and a small first-payment bonus at events.
Volatility: always display the IQD total; support Cardano-native stablecoins where available; loyalty rewards buffer small swings.
Operational mistakes/fraud: explorer-linked receipts, simple refund paths, device PIN/remote lock/wipe, serial-number logging.
Data protection: no seed phrases or personal data stored; only aggregate, non-personal metrics are published.
Governance and accountability:
The project is milestone-gated. We only advance when objective acceptance tests are met (working POS features, live locations, trained staff, published metrics). Monthly public updates summarize progress, blockers, lessons, and metrics; the dashboard is live and queryable by the community. Disbursements are managed from a dedicated project account with dual-signature authorization, and we only pay vendors or stipends when named deliverables are verified. Hardware and signage are reusable assets; if a site drops out, we redeploy equipment to the next merchant.
Why this matters for Cardano:
Cardano’s credibility depends on visible, repeatable real-world use. This pilot converts a routine, cash-heavy purchase into a weekly Cardano moment for thousands of families and exposes that adoption through public, verifiable data. Because the loyalty policies, integration code, signage, and SOPs are shared openly, the benefits extend beyond one city: any Cardano entrepreneur can replicate our approach with little additional engineering. As the flow becomes familiar at car washes, it naturally extends to cafés, pharmacies, salons, and furniture shops—larger baskets, higher rewards, and a broader merchant network. The pilot also seeds a public map of Cardano-friendly locations and a clean evidence base for future proposals.
Sustainability after the grant:
By the end of nine months we will leave trained staff, working merchants, and reusable building blocks. Ongoing support can be covered by a lightweight dashboard subscription or a small per-transaction fee that pays for device maintenance, SIM data, and periodic coaching. As merchants see retention and repeat visits from loyalty, discretionary incentives taper naturally. Because the code and materials are open, growth in new sites does not depend on us; local teams can carry the model forward and adapt it to their neighborhoods.
Success is not a press release; it is a queue of families paying with Cardano and earning a reward without breaking the flow of a busy day. You will see payments and redemptions count up on a public dashboard with explorer links. You will see devices in place, trained cashiers at work, and crowds at help-desk events. You will read honest field notes about what reduced friction and what did not. And you will get a production-ready playbook—Arabic/Kurdish/English signage, cashier scripts, policies, and code—that other Cardano teams can use the next morning.
Bottom line: with a tight solution, local relationships, and transparent metrics, we will turn the car wash—one of Iraq’s most common errands—into the easiest way for a family to try Cardano for the first time, and the reason they keep using it week after week.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
The impact is everyday adoption, not just awareness.
This pilot turns a familiar errand into a repeatable Cardano moment. Families that rarely use wallets will scan, pay, save, and earn in a setting they already trust. Each payment is a measurable on-chain event and each loyalty reward is a visible asset in the customer’s wallet. Repetition—every one to two weeks—creates habit, not hype.
Direct benefits to the Cardanao community:
Longer term ripple effects:
A visible, evidence-based case that Cardano can power small, frequent, real-world payments in a challenging, cash-heavy market—complete with code, materials, and metrics others can reuse. That is portable across cities and sectors, helping Cardano move from “interesting technology” to routine daily life.
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?
Why we’re suited to deliver this project
We are Iraqi engineers and entrepreneurs who have shipped retail technology and community programs in Baghdad, Erbil, and nearby markets. Our backgrounds span mobile app development in Arabic/Kurdish, QR-based payments, loyalty programs, and in-store staff training. Because we live and work here, we understand local buying habits, cash-first constraints, and the practical realities of small businesses (shift changes, spotty connectivity, and the need for simple, visual instructions). We also speak the languages of the counter—Arabic and Kurdish—so we can coach cashiers and reassure families at the exact moment they try a wallet for the first time.
**Evidence of relevant capability: **
Approach that keeps the solution simple and replicable:
Validation plan: how we’ll prove feasibility
1. Technical Validation
-Short surveys before/after guided wallet sessions to track confidence, understanding, and intent to use Cardano elsewhere.
2. Trust and accountability: how we’ll manage work and funds responsibly
3. Risk controls embedded in delivery
Why this is feasible now
Cardano’s low fees and native assets make small purchases and loyalty practical. Our local credibility opens doors with merchants and keeps training honest and culturally appropriate. The product is intentionally minimal and hardened for the environment, so it can be deployed, learned, and repeated quickly. With open metrics, milestone gates, and disciplined governance, the community can see progress in real time and judge our work on evidence.
What success demonstrates about our capability
In short, we have the technical skill, local relationships, and operational discipline to turn a routine car-wash visit into a safe, repeatable Cardano moment—and to demonstrate that this approach can be trusted, audited, and scaled.

Notes on Fund Rules & budgeting practice:
We’re funding software, enablement, and adoption—not building new car-wash facilities.
Hardware is inventoried and kept for Cardano adoption work; if the pilot ends, devices will be reassigned to new merchants or donated to community pilots.
Procurement: at least two quotes for third-party items where practical; serials logged; receipts/invoices kept; monthly reconciliation by an independent accountant.
No double-funding: any co-funding or in-kind support will be disclosed; we will not seek duplicate grants for the same deliverables.
If ADA price drops materially, we’ll protect core delivery by prioritizing devices, training, and incentives, using the contingency and trimming discretionary marketing first. If surplus remains, it will be returned or re-scoped transparently.
Public accountability: monthly updates + a live dashboard (transactions, unique wallets, reward redemptions) and a close-out report & video.
How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
Why this is a good use of ₳65,000 for Cardano:
Cardano has very little day-to-day usage in Iraq and the wider Gulf. Most families pay cash and have never completed a crypto transaction. Car washes are a perfect entry point: frequent, low-risk, family-oriented, and trusted. By placing ADA and Cardano-stablecoin checkout inside a routine errand—and rewarding each payment on-chain—we expose a large, untapped non-crypto audience to Cardano in a way that is practical, safe, and repeatable.
Concrete return for the ecosystem:
New, real users: target ≥2,500 unique wallets making purchases, not just airdrop claims.
Sustained activity: ≥6,500 on-chain payments plus ≥150 reward redemptions (visible NFTs/tokens).
Open assets: loyalty contracts and integration docs are open-sourced; the Replication Playbook (AR/KU/EN) lets cafés, salons, food stalls, and furniture stores copy the model.
Proof others can cite: a public dashboard with explorer links becomes evidence for future enterprise and merchant pitches across MENA.
Unit economics (pilot period):
Cost per transaction (pilot): ₳65,000 / 6,500 tx ≈ ₳10/tx including one-time build, devices, and incentives.
Cost per new wallet (pilot): ₳65,000 / 2,500 wallets ≈ ₳26/wallet with education and support.
These costs drop sharply after the pilot because the software, devices, signage, and playbook are reusable; incentives taper as merchants see the retention effect and fund discounts themselves.
Why the budget is efficient:
We fund adoption, not infrastructure: no new buildings, no speculative R&D. Spend is focused on working checkout, merchant enablement, and measurable usage.
Local delivery lowers cost: Arabic/Kurdish training, in-country device sourcing, and existing operator relationships reduce travel and coordination overhead.
Reusability: the POS app, loyalty scripts, signage files, and training modules serve many more shops at minimal marginal cost.
Devices remain in the ecosystem: if a pilot site churns, hardware is re-deployed to the next merchant.
Guideline alignment and safeguards:
Milestone-based releases: three milestones with clear acceptance criteria (live partners, tx counts, dashboards, open code, close-out). Funds are drawn only when a milestone is met.
Transparency: monthly public updates and a live dashboard (payments, unique wallets, rewards) with explorer links—so the community can verify outcomes.
Procurement discipline: at least two quotes for third-party items when practical; serial numbers logged; invoices/receipts kept; monthly reconciliation by an independent accountant.
No double funding: any co-funding or in-kind support will be disclosed; no duplicate grants for the same deliverables.
Volatility handling: prices shown in Iraqi dinars at checkout; stablecoins accepted where available; a modest contingency and incentive pool protect delivery without overspending.
Post-grant sustainability: merchants continue the program because the loyalty loop increases repeat visits; a light dashboard subscription or small per-transaction fee covers ongoing support.
Strategic value beyond the pilot:
Culture change through repetition: a family that pays with ADA every 1–2 weeks learns by doing and asks, “Where else can we pay like this?”—opening the door to food, cafés, and furniture.
Merchant network effects: visible success at 5 sites plus public mapping attracts neighboring businesses and gives Cardano community members places to spend locally.
MENA-ready materials: Arabic/Kurdish content and cashier SOPs reduce the cost and time for other Cardano teams to launch in similar markets.
For ₳65,000, the community gets a live, measured adoption engine in a cash-heavy region, open-sourced building blocks others can reuse, and a tested playbook to scale real-world Cardano payments. The spend is tightly controlled, milestone-gated, and aimed squarely at creating repeatable, visible utility—turning Cardano from an idea into a weekly habit for thousands of non-crypto users.
