DID projects often jump early into programming solutions, without having sufficiently focused on a rock-solid underlaying architecture
With this proposal we want to deep-dive and establish a solid interoperable architecture Blueprint for DApps building upon Atala PRISM DID
This is the total amount allocated to DID Application Blueprint.
.
Summary for Community Advisors:
1) Our Proposal in a Nutshell: Many DID-related projects tend to jump right into programming their solutions without having sufficiently focused on a rock-solid underlaying foundation regarding open and interoperable Digital Identity, tokenomics and data privacy as well as resilient, decentralized data storage. With this proposal we want to deep-dive and establish a solid, interoperable architecture Blueprint for applications building on Atala PRISM DID. Based on our DLT360 accessible knowledge, we want to develop a regulation-compliant and inter-disciplinary DID Application Blueprint for doing things right from the very beginning.
2) Impact: This proposal combines the findings of a number of initiatives from inside and outside the Cardano ecosystem. This makes one of our DLT360 paradigms quite visible: Guidelines and Blueprints are most beneficial, when established in a practical, result-oriented inter-disciplinary combined context. This means in our case here: Using multiple findings as input to creating a practical BLUEPRINT for DID Applications. This BLUEPRINT is then the basis for getting to successful DID application architectures (not just technically) and for establishing partnerships with all kinds of DID-applying projects as well as with professional incubators and consulting companies. For more details please refer to our WEB-Site and/or to our Business Model Canvas section below.
3) Feasibility: This proposal is part of a bigger picture. Our DLT360 team has started its journey after being funded in fund 6 with one of our major services: The DLT360 Risk and Opportunity Radar. Based on this funding, we have implemented a small operational core-team. We are furthermore growing an extended team of inter-disciplinary domain-experts from the Catalyst community, industry and academia for adding their knowledge on demand (For more details please refer to our WEB-Site and/or to our Business Model Canvas section below).
Please note: We are applying a best-practice Business Model Canvas approach. We have added tags to our details below, hoping that the Catalyst-funded 'The Great Filter' application will be able to identifying the required sections in our text.

This proposal is part of a bigger picture. Our DLT360 team has started its journey after being funded in fund 6 for one of our major services: The DLT360 Risk and Opportunity Radar. Fund 6 is about establishing this foundational framework for professional risk (and opportunity) management. With this new fund 7 proposal, we are utilizing the acquired knowledge for creating practical Implementation Blueprints and Consulting Artifacts. Points 1 to 5 of our Business Model Canvas are therefore explaining the bigger picture, while points 6 to 9 and the listed activities, milestones, deliverables, roadmap and costs are kept very specific to this project.
Dependent of the above listed customer-segments, we see our value proposition as following (more details in MIRO):
Depending on customer-segment and corresponding value-proposition, the following delivery channels will be used:
This project requires a one-time-effort. After this initial effort and the related initial funding, this will become part of our overall DLT360 activities. For these overall activities we are lobbying for stable service and consulting agreements with the Cardano community (see also our related Fund 8 Challenge Setting proposal) and other emerging partners and clients.
This project must be seen in the context of our overall DLT360 revenue stream planning. During this early stage of our DLT360 startup, we are fully focusing on servicing the Cardano Community. This project will provide additional business opportunities in helping DID-based applications to do it right from the beginning. This will also open up collaboration opportunities with related consulting entities. For the overall startup of DLT360, we are applying a careful 'Lean Startup' approach. This means that we will plan, check and iteratively adjust our Business Model according to our learnings, documented in our MIRO environment. This project will potentially bring us substantial revenue streams also from cooperating with consulting firms, who can apply our BLUEPRINTS in their e.g. industry-oriented customer projects.
This project requires the following specific key-activities
DLT360 is built by a small core-team and a flexible team of highly renowned domain experts as well as a scalable network of contributors from the Cardano community, from academia and from industry. For this specific project we will need the following key resources
For an always up-to-date-info about our team, please consult our WEB-Site:
We definitely need to coordinate this closely with IOHK's AtalaPRISM experts and with DID-experienced project teams and with other inter-disciplinary teams . Please find them always up-to-date on our WEB-Site.
We make sure to avoid redundancies by partnering and integrating as many elements form other initiatives as possible. By networking with universities, active students and alumni, we are approaching our projects in a very cost-conscious way. Based on our listed key-activities and key-resources, we plan with the following costs (please note that we are in progress of setting up a formal company body and need to follow the strict European tax regulations):
Roadmap, Milestones and Deliverables
