Bring Smart Contracts to Vietnam

a. Problem statement:

(for Vietnamese, I share my idea in the youtube link below)

The English language is still a barrier for a lot of Vietnamese people. While Learning Smart contracts programming languages is an important key to bring Cardano closer to end-users. The easier learning and deploying are, the more people get involved to Cardano's eco-system. We will create a well-training document as if creating dApp with no-code

We plan to translate all available fundamental smart contract training materials to Vietnamese, Add more practical examples, step-by-step instructions for creating dApps, and sharing them with local communities/universities

b. Deliverables:

• Phase 1 (after 3 months)

-Translate all available fundamental smart contract training materials to Vietnamese

- Create short, practical examples with Marlowe (In Vietnamese)

- Develop short, practical examples with Plutus (In Vietnamese)

- Create a website and upload documents, creating index and courses

- Upload documents, creating indexes and courses

• Phase 2 ( after 6 months)

- Create short, simple and meaningful infographics about training courses

- Broadcast infographics, videos, training documents to big local Cardano groups on Facebook and other DevOps communities.

• Phase 3 ( after 8 months)

- Deliver workshops for 02 Colleges of Information Technology Practice in Vietnam

- Introduction to dApp connector, how to integrate wallets to traditional interfaces (mobile app, website)

Our estimated launch date:  15-Oct-2021

c. Benefits to Cardano Ecosystem:

Marlowe has been designed to be used by someone who is an expert in the field of financial contracts or business, but does not have programming skills and experience. We will simplify and localize the documentation, add specific examples and promote them to users in various ways (broadcast to social networks, information technology incubators, workshop at universities). We believe that doing so will raise their awareness about how easy Marlowe is and bring more people, ideas, and dApps to the Cardano ecosystem.

The localization of plutus training materials will help programmers understand the programming methods and build applications on the cardano platform. Enable them to deploy real-world problem-solving apps on Cardano's ecosystem.
