BitBunny.io: Adopt animals w/ NFT

Bitbuny.io will offer a fun proof-of-concept way to experiment with new representation of blockchain assets with the goal of adding value.

10+ years as a web designer and graphic designer. 8 years experience with farm life and rabbit husbandry. A degree in communication studies.

BitBunny is a fun proof-of-concept that aims to add value to the owning of a blockchain asset and expand the paradigm of applications of the technology with the ultimate goal of applying our methodology to various commercial applications that will help build a decentralized, tokenized economy.

An owner of a BitBunny token will be able to access a private part of our website, BitBunny.io, which is exclusive only to the owner of the specific Bitbunny token and protected by an encryption or ID hash. The details for accessing this part of the website will be hidden within the metadata of the coin and we will use a custom encryption tool to turn this data into a web address, maintaining exclusivity for the owner of the asset.

In the exclusive My BitBunny part of our website, the BitBunny adopter will be able to access exclusive pictures, a video feed and various ways to interact with the real, living bunny such as buttons for small snack choices and treats, a daily meal menu, games, and a way to donate to their adopted little friend. Other functions such as the ability to breed your BitBunny with a friend's are being considered.

We will start with one BitBunny as a proof-of-concept and start to scale up as we develop both interest, and our platform. BitBunny tokens will be sold as part of little drops and auctions from BitBunny and can be traded and re-sold off of the platform. Profitability will come with the up scaling of the platform, as we continue to sell tokens (affordably) and have various events and opportunities for donations from BitBunny owners.

The BitBunnies will travel, perform PR and help spread the adoption of tokenized physical (living) assets. If a BitBunny passes (as living assets do), we will offer a re-adoption program for free for current BitBunny owners.

Our goal is to have a full rollout of the platform once Cardano's Alonzo hardfork is complete, unlocking the full functionality of smart contracts.

ROADMAP:
3 MONTHS- Continued technical outlining, brainstorming, time for continued public outreach and community interaction. Building the brand, and the start of the website. Plutus Pioneer classes, additional research and conceptualization. Technical planning, search for developer and consultant.

6 MONTHS- Upgrades to infrastructure completed, construction and setup of rabbit hutches with webcams, website is running in limited capacity and looking to offer the first BitBunny up for adoption by Sept. 1, 2021.

1 YEAR- A large inventory of BitBunnies at all times (40+), a community of BitBunny owners and traders, various deals and partnerships with new Dapps and applications, advanced community involvement, and enough experience and evidence to take the BitBunny proof-of-concept and apply it commercially or in a logistical manner to help people conduct business and exchange tangible assets in a new way as part of a decentralized, tokenized economy.

Currently, we are very much in the early development and marketing phase. Our domain is purchased and we are creating graphics and content for the BitBunny subreddit and Instagram accounts. We have decided to submit a proposal for Project Catalyst Fund 5 in order to increase our budget to hire a developer, a web consultant, to purchase storage space, improve our rural internet connection, build additional rabbit hutches with webcams, and to provide various toys, rabbit runs and unique healthy snacks to the bunnies.

BUDGET REQUESTED:
Developer: $500-$1,000
Web consulting: $500
Infrastructure upgrades $1,000
Construction upgrades $1,000
Accessories & food: $1,000

The website will be built affordably upon Wordpress, using the Enfold theme and many layers of custom graphics. The website will use simple, clean 8-bit design with a pastel color scheme, much like our logo and banner design. A splash page will be added in the very near future to tie in the BitBunny brand and provide access to our roadmap and frequent updates.

The website will be supplemented with two currently active social media accounts on Reddit (r/BitBunny) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/bitbunnyio/). These will provide lots of fun community interaction and exclusive behind-the-scenes content of our little Bitbunnies out in the world and the BitBunny Ranch.
