SOIL: OriginTrail / Ontochain (DKG)

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem.

Implement a DKG backend on Cardano.

Cardano recently launched EVM on the test net, which should make this possible.

[GENERAL] Summarize your relevant experience.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-vavrovic-9617514a/ I’ve been a software developer for almost 10 years.

I have little experience with EVM or DKG, but will probably need this to implement the Ideation DAO I’m also proposing. I’ll have to learn this or hire someone. 

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Origintrail DKG looks like a very promising solution, that aims to be compatible with multiple blockchains. I think Cardano shares many values with them. 

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

Enables collaboration with multiple chains via the DKG.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

This will probably rely heavily on a working EVM on Cardano. If it works, great. If not… https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1535979507840167943

Origintrail will also need to support this. I’ve met with them briefly at the Ontochain conference, seemed possible. 

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

I’ll be busy with my other proposal for at least 2 months, so I’ll try to outsource this.

If I get funded by Ontochain, I’ll be able to hire someone to finish this in October. 

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

Hiring someone or bribing Origintrail ($5000)

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

If I really need to, I can probably learn what is necessary in a month or two, but this is mainly a bounty for someone else.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

Once it works, this should be done. Unless the DKG API changes.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

This would be an open source contribution to DKG

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

Cardano officially added to the Origintrail website. https://origintrail.io/technology

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.
