All KPIs are verifiable via CardanoScan and a public metrics dashboard. Subject to change due to regulations.
[Your Project and Solution] Solution
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
How We Perceive the Problem
Indonesia’s used car market suffers from low trust due to hidden defects, falsified records, and unsafe payment methods. Vehicle condition and ownership data are fragmented across paper records, dealer notes, and verbal claims — making them prone to manipulation and fraud. Buyers risk significant financial loss, while sellers with genuine cars struggle to prove quality.
Our Approach and Reasons
We are addressing this by tokenizing car inspection reports and key ownership documents (STNK and BPKB, subject to regulatory approval) as Real World Asset NFTs on the Cardano blockchain. These NFTs store verifiable metadata, are tamper-proof, and can be instantly validated by anyone.
This foundation enables a trust-first ecosystem: once asset data is on-chain, it can be used in a secure Cardano-powered marketplace with smart-contract escrow, anti-sniping auctions, and eKTP-based KYC. We chose Cardano for its peer-reviewed & research-based improvement system, strong metadata standards (CIP), and growing reputation as an RWA-friendly blockchain.
Design Goals (why this approach)
- Verifiable truth: Each inspection becomes a Real-World Asset (RWA) NFT anchored to a hashed PDF with structured metadata.
- Safe settlement: IDR smart-contract escrow mediates lock → handover → release/refund.
- Privacy by design: PII stays off-chain; public vs. gated PDFs with short-lived signed URLs.
- Freshness & integrity: TTL (time/odometer) invalidates stale reports; supersession chain shows the latest report.
- Reusability: Open-source escrow + RWA modules so other teams can adopt quickly.
![]()
System Architecture (layers)
- Identity & Trust
- eKTP KYC with selfie liveness; only proofs/off-chain references stored (never raw PII on-chain).
- Role-based access (buyer, seller, inspector, admin) with least privilege.
- Optional review with ABSI (Asosiasi Blockchain Syariah Indonesia) for fee model & fairness: https://www.absi.or.id/
- RWA Tokenization
- PDF → SHA-256 hash → IPFS CID.
- Mint a Cardano NFT with CIP-aligned metadata: hash, cid, issued_at, ttl, inspector_id, provider_id, odometer, vin_hash/partial, supersedes.
- Public PDF: non-sensitive facts (make/model/year, high-level findings).
- Gated PDF: full grades, still no sensitive government documents (no raw STNK/BPKB scans).
- Marketplace & Auctions
- Listings (fixed price / auction) require a valid (non-expired) inspection NFT.
- Anti-sniping: +5 minutes if a bid arrives in the final minutes.
- Bid increments: Rp500k or ≥1% of current price (whichever is higher).
- Deposits: refundable bidder deposits; default → partial forfeit.
- Reserve price supported; optional Buy-Now.
- TTL gating: expired/superseded reports block new listings.
- Escrow & Settlement
- FSM: Created → Funded → HandoverPending → Released | Refunded | Disputed.
- Funding in IDR via a licensed provider; on-chain events mirror state transitions.
- Disputes: evidence handled off-chain; 2-of-3 multisig admin resolves → release/refund.
- Immutable on-chain audit trail of escrow state changes.
- Observability & Compliance
- Metrics for mint success, escrow states, dispute SLAs, uptime/latency.
- Immutable admin/action logs.
- UU PDP alignment: Jakarta data residency; consent, access, deletion flows.
- ISO-style controls: access recertification, backups/DR, key rotation.
End-to-End Flows (how it works)
A) Inspection → RWA NFT
- Inspector completes checklist; system generates PDF.
- PDF hashed (SHA-256); stored; IPFS CID pinned.
- Mint NFT with metadata { hash, cid, ttl, … }; store policy ID & TX id.
- Public page shows public PDF + metadata; gated PDF requires auth.
B) List & Auction
- Seller lists car; platform verifies valid NFT (not expired/superseded).
- Auction settings: duration, reserve, min increment; deposit required for bidders.
- Anti-sniping auto-extends; fraud/abuse detection monitors anomalies.
C) Escrow & Handover
- Winner funds escrow (IDR) → on-chain “Funded” event.
- Handover appointment (optional re-check); buyer confirms acceptance.
- Release: funds to seller; ownership transfer off-chain per law.
- Refund: if handover fails.
- Dispute: multisig admin decision recorded on-chain.
D) TTL & Supersession
- Report expires after 90 days or 3,000 km, whichever first.
- Re-inspection mints a new NFT with supersedes: ; UI surfaces “latest”.
E) Document Anchoring
- STNK/BPKB anchoring as metadata pointers (never raw docs), subject to regulator/legal approval.
Who We Will Engage
- Buyers & Sellers in the Indonesian used car market seeking safe, transparent transactions
- Licensed Inspectors via PT Inspeksi Mobil Jogja to verify and mint RWA NFTs.
- Licensed Escrow & Payment Providers to enable compliant IDR settlements.
- Cardano Community through open-sourced NFT inspection and escrow modules for adoption by other RWA projects.
- ABSI - Asosiasi Blockchain Syariah Indonesia (Indonesia Sharia Blockchain Association)
How we will demonstrate or prove impact
We will track:
- On-chain metrics: NFTs minted, escrow contracts deployed, ADA transaction counts.
- Market activity: Number of verified sellers, completed transactions, and dispute resolutions.
- User trust metrics: Buyer satisfaction surveys and repeat transactions.
Sharia-Aligned Model (ABSI engagement)
- Fee model: fixed service fees (avoid interest-like constructs); transparent dispute policy.
- Speculation dampeners: TTL, mandatory inspection, deposits reduce excessive uncertainty.
- ABSI: engage for review & public note of alignment.
Why This is Important to Cardano
This project positions Cardano as a leading RWA blockchain in Southeast Asia, starting from Indonesia (specifically, Java Island), bridging blockchain with legally relevant, high-value asset transactions. It delivers tangible mainstream adoption, thousands of users interacting with Cardano not just for crypto, but for real-world ownership and commerce.
Blockchain in Indonesia has always been associated with gambling, defi, scams, and other negative sentiments. We aim to bring real-world use case to the ecosystem and make it massive.
Another reason is because the proposing team are alumni of Universitas Gadjah Mada, one of the top public universities in Indonesia. This would strengthen Cardano's position as one of the blockchain that is closely related to academic institutions.
[Your Project and Solution] Impact
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Impact on the Cardano Community
What value we create
- Real-world usage on Cardano: Every inspection becomes a RWA NFT, and every sale uses smart-contract escrow, producing auditable on-chain activity and showing Cardano as a practical backbone for high-value consumer trades in Indonesia.
- Reusable building blocks: We will open-source (MIT) the escrow contract and RWA inspection NFT module with docs, examples, and a verification tool—lowering time-to-market for other Cardano builders (autos, rentals, real estate, supply chain).
- Trust signals for mainstream users: Partnership with PT Inspeksi Mobil Jogja and academic oversight from UGM help cultivate a credible, compliant Cardano case study that community advocates can point to.
- Knowledge for RWA teams: We’ll publish a practical RWA playbook (metadata patterns, KYC/TTL patterns, PDP/ISO checklists, dispute workflows) other projects can adapt.
How we Measure Impact (Quantitative & Qualitative)
On-chain metrics:
- Number of RWA NFTs minted (inspection records)
- Number of escrow transactions and state changes (lock/release/refund)
- Unique wallets interacting with our policies/contracts
- Time-to-finality and failure rates for mint/escrow flows
Adoption metrics:
- Verified users (eKTP), completed trades, repeat-seller/buyer rate
- Dispute rate ≤5% and resolution within 5 business days ≥90%
- TTL freshness: % listings with up-to-date inspections
Ecosystem reuse:
- Open-source stars/forks/PRs,
- Number of third-party integrations,
- Issues resolved
- Attendance at workshops/webinars; follow-up integrations initiated
User trust/experience:
- NPS and post-trade satisfaction surveys
- Qualitative feedback from dealers/inspectors and community AMAs
How and with whom we share outputs
- Public metrics page: Live dashboard of on-chain counts (policy IDs, contract interactions), adoption, and dispute/uptime SLOs.
- Monthly Catalyst updates: Short reports linking to TXs, release notes, incidents/lessons learned, and spend snapshots.
- Open repositories: GitHub repos (escrow, RWA module, examples) with clear READMEs, API refs, and a CLI/mini-app for verification.
- Community enablement:
- Workshops/webinars with Cardano Indonesia, Cardano Forum posts, and recorded demos.
- Office hours for teams trying to reuse our modules.
- Docs in Indonesian and English to support local and global builders.
- RWA playbook: A living guide (architecture, policy design, legal templates, PDP/ISO controls) published for the community.
Why this matters
- Tangible, consumer-grade RWA activity in a large Indonesian market creates sustained Cardano visibility and utility.
- Open, well-documented modules and transparent reporting help other builders ship faster and safer, compounding ecosystem value beyond this single project.
[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?
Why This Team Can Deliver (Trust & Accountability)
- Mainnet track record. CAR-dano Phase 1 (Fund13) delivered the core pipeline (PDF → hash → IPFS → Cardano NFT). This proposal is Phase 2 (v2): scaling into an RWA-first marketplace with escrow, auctions, and mobile apps, with the purpose of increasing utility, Cardano adoption, and business growth.
- Operational partner embedded. PT Inspeksi Mobil Jogja (PTIMJ) is part of the team (not external), bringing certified inspection workflows and nationwide rollout experience (for now, Java Island).
- Clear ownership & accountability. Sumbu Labs leads product/engineering; PTIMJ leads inspection ops; UGM advisors provide independent technical oversight; legal counsel covers IDR escrow/RWA compliance.
Governance, Controls, and Proper Fund Management
- Milestone-based disbursement. Funds released only when acceptance criteria and evidence of completion (repos, testnet/mainnet TXs, demos) are posted to the Catalyst update portal.
- Segregated accounts. Vendor/SaaS and infra paid from a separate ops wallet with monthly caps; compensation drawn monthly per payroll schedule.
Delivery Process (Feasibility & Quality)
- SDLC. Requirements → threat modeling → design review → implementation → mandatory code review → CI (lint, unit, integration, e2e) → staging canary → production.
- Security by design.
- On-chain: minimal, auditable smart-contract surface; policy keys secured in HSM-backed vault.
- Off-chain: least-privilege RBAC, MFA, IP allowlists for admin consoles, secrets in AWS/GCP (until we can find a more private & trusted secret manager)
- Data: TLS 1.2+, AES-256 at rest, privacy-tiered PDFs (public vs. gated), no PII on-chain.
- Compliance alignment. ISO 27001/27017/27018-aligned ISMS practices; Indonesian UU PDP (data residency in Jakarta; user consent flows; deletion rights). We plan to host the data on our own servers in Yogyakarta, but discussion for this is still ongoing.
- Independent audit. Smart-contract escrow audited by Night Login Cyber Security Team before mainnet; high/critical findings must be remediated and re-verified.
- Observability & SLOs. Metrics, logs, and alerting with SLOs:
- API p95 latency: ≤300ms (steady state)
- Minting queue success rate: ≥99.5%
- Incident response: acknowledge ≤15 min, mitigate ≤4h
- Dispute resolution SLA: ≤5 business days
Validation Plan (How We Prove It Works)
- M1 – Escrow & legal readiness (testnet). Show end-to-end lock/release/refund on testnet + legal memo for IDR escrow structure; publish test plan & passing results. Consultation with OJK (Financial Services Authority) for compliance.
- M2 – Auction load test. Simulate ≥1,000 bids with anti-sniping extensions; publish performance report and abuse-prevention checks (deposits/KYC gates).
- M3 – Mobile App and Web App Limited Public Release (Early Access). Play Store/TestFlight releases; telemetry showing full flows (browse → bid → escrow confirm).
- M4 – TTL & open-source drop. Public GitHub (MIT) for escrow + RWA NFT modules with docs and examples; demo verification tool (hash check + IPFS retrieval).
- M5 – Pilot with PTIMJ. Target: 200 RWA mints, 100 escrow flows, ≤5% disputes; publish on-chain TXs and dashboard screenshots.
- M6 – Public launch & reporting. Monthly Catalyst updates with on-chain counts, adoption metrics, incident log summaries, and roadmap burndown.
Risk Register (with Mitigations)
- Payment partner timing. Mitigate via parallel vendor shortlist and fallback “custodian-as-a-service”.
- Regulatory interpretation. Ongoing counsel by Virzana Mutiara Hanifa; freeze gates to prevent non-compliant features from shipping.
- Data privacy. Strict separation of public vs. gated PDFs; periodic privacy reviews; remove PII from any public artifact.
- Ops bottlenecks. Regional inspector capacity planning with PTIMJ; surge queues; SLA dashboard alerts.
- Key compromise. HSM/KMS, rotation policy, incident drills.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money
How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
Why This is a Strong Value for Cardano (and Indonesia)
Despite the increased price (from 18USD to 22USD) due to use of blockchain in our inspection, the number of clients sustained and even increased. This is the real data from our 6 months of implementation from the Fund13 project. We assume this is because of the increased trust of the customers from using blockchain.![]()
- Huge addressable market: Indonesia has 17.2M+ passenger cars on the road and sells ~1.0M new vehicles/year—a large supply funnel for used-car transactions. Recent research values Indonesia’s used-automobile market at ~US$57B with ~6% CAGR, underscoring scale for on-chain activity.
- Trusted collaboration: Backed by Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a top Indonesian university (QS #224 globally). This academic oversight strengthens security reviews, compliance, and public trust.
- Direct on-chain outputs per ADA: Budget lines map to deliverables that generate verifiable Cardano transactions (RWA NFT mints for inspections; escrow lock/release/refund). We’ll publish monthly TX links and a public metrics page.
- Right-sized, local-market costs: Engineering is Indonesia-based (not US/EU rates); infra is Jakarta-region for low latency and PDP compliance; tooling is minimal (ClickUp, Figma, Sentry, OpenAI Team/Pro). This keeps burn low while meeting reliability and auditability needs.
- Ecosystem spillover: We open-source the escrow + RWA-minting modules (MIT) so other builders can reuse audited components, multiplying impact.
- Reputation upside for Cardano: A transparent, customer-first RWA marketplace co-delivered with a top university can shape positive sentiment for Cardano in Indonesia’s Web3 community and beyond (co-marketing with partners and academic channels).
Bottom line: The spend is concentrated on shipping auditable, production features that convert Indonesia’s large used-car activity into measurable Cardano usage, with strong trust signals (UGM) and reusable open-source outputs. Arguably, high value per ADA.
