[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Executive Summary

Gender Unicorns is the first CNFT card game promoting gender diversity, equality, and acceptance via interactive gender alliances.

The project will provide 20+ dedicated gender channels and alliances to flourish a vibrant, diverse community and allow meaningful, respectful interactions.

Each member will be encouraged to share their story and support each other to earn the right to own a Gender Unicorns NFT. The Gender Unicorns NFTs will provide access to an engaging card battle game (aka Unicorn Battles) that emphasizes cooperation and strategic decisions.

Most importantly, the Unicorns Battles normalize the existence of a diverse gender-verse and help fight bias and prejudice with the power of knowledge and friendship.

The first generation of Gender Unicorns will comprise 10,001 NFTs generated from more than 470 hand-drawn designs.

The Gender Unicorns will also offer a variety of innovative features such as an NFT battle matchmaking platform (aka Unibet), an NFT lending platform (aka Unilend), an in-game currency (aka Unicoins), exclusive alliances, a smart-contract marketplace, rarity statistics directly embedded into the NFT metadata, and more.

All unique features are explained in detail in our official Pinkpaper, found here: https://genderunicorns.com/pinkpaper

Vision

The Gender Unicorns aspire to become a global catalyst in normalizing gender diversity and helping every person express their gender identity and gender expression freely.

Our project aims to unite everyone and break stereotypes, hatred, and biases with love and education. We want to improve the understanding and documentation of the experiences of people of various underrepresented genders and provide a safe space for their online existence.

Our mission is to build a better humanity where our differences are respected and celebrated. Gender Unicorns can become a major symbol of the global change toward an open, loving society.

Finally, we would like to empower Cardano by collaborating with several Cardano developers and creating innovative smart-contracts and technologies.

Main features:

• Proprietary CNFT card battle game (aka Unicorn Battles) that utilizes smart contracts & CNFT metadata

• Proprietary CNFT lending platform (aka Unilend) where users can lend Unicorns and receive fees paid in $ADA

• Proprietary CNFT battle matchmaking platform (aka Unibet) with interactive custom filters

• Proprietary in-game currency (aka Unicoins) used for community and alliance voting powers, reputation management, and rewards

• First CNFT project to feature two collective purposes and rarity tables: Collection rarity and Battle rarity

• First gender-diverse CNFT project, featuring 20 different genders with exclusive gender alliances and features

• Exclusive Gender Alliance’s Club chat rooms, contests, leaderboards and rewards

• Exclusive Unicorn smart-contract marketplace available on the official website

• Exclusive perks for CNFT holders (physical Unicorns cards, meetups, events, charities etc)

• The largest number of custom hand-drawn designs than any other current CNFT project (more than 476)

• The largest combination of traits of any CNFT project: only 10,001 NFTs minted from over 195 quintillion combinations (195,312,500,000,000,000,000)

Main audiences:

• Marginalized people of various gender identities who need support and understanding

• Casual gamers (mobile, browser games)

• Experienced strategy game gamers

• Advocates of human rights, social justice, and gender equality.

• CNFT investors, CNFT collectors, and crypto enthusiasts

Impact on each main audience

Marginalized people of various gender identities who need support and understanding: 

Under-represented minorities will find a home in Gender Unicorns' alliances and will be able to express themselves and meet others in fun, engaging, and rewarding ways. Token distribution will be available exclusively to active community members who help break gender biases and educate others for their gender or other genders. We want to create a safe space for love and appreciation in our community where everyone is celebrated.

Casual gamers (mobile, browser games):

Casual gamers will find an easy-to-learn (though hard to master) gaming experience which requires little time commitment but offers high challenges in an intuitive environment directly on the web browser. Each game will be quick but involve some smart strategies, yet the match-making system will match players with similar experiences and skills. Most importantly, the game will teach the value of cooperation and appreciation of all people to an audience that is rarely exposed to positive social causes in their gaming activities.

Experienced gamers of strategy games:

Provide a game with a high strategic value that requires high skills and experience to master. High-ranking players will be granted leadership roles in their alliances and exclusive rewards. Such high roles are not permanent and rely on users' votes, which incentivize expert gamers to keep a humble and helpful attitude. Experienced players will be able to keep challenging themselves using the adaptive match-maker algorithm, earn more reputation rewards, and inspire others in their alliance not only to perform well in their battle duties but most importantly to maintain a spirit of respect and collaboration.

Advocates of human rights, social justice, and gender equality:

Gender Unicorns aims to be the first mainstream CNFT project to normalize the diversity of genders and identities and promote a vibrant yet respectful community that will unite all people. The project will break the stereotypes and make a bold statement that social causes can also be entertaining and engaging to everyone. The gameplay and alliance mechanics aim to unite all CNFT holders to play together and collaborate to achieve common goals and rewards and learn to interact with others in meaningful, respectful ways. We aspire to have many social justice advocates join our discussion forums and share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences and help our audiences understand the importance of social justice in modern society.

CNFT investors, CNFT collectors, and crypto enthusiasts:

The project will provide a vast number of hand-drawn designs (more than 470), resulting in more than 195 quintillion possible combinations while utilizing a unique, easy way to view rarity statistics. Additionally, there will be many rewards given to long-term holders, including free entry to the Unicorn Battles games, participation in the Unicorn alliances, redeeming physical unicorns cards, meetups, events, and charity initiatives. Those efforts will result in a collection with long-term investment value to its loyal supporters. Aside from monetary benefits, the Gender Unicorns aim to bring technological advancements to the fields of blockchain gaming and make it easy, intuitive, and accessible to the masses.

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

The most important mechanism to achieve our ambitious goals and KPIs is our diverse, experienced, and dedicated team. Our team is working under strictly defined tasks and responsibilities for each member. Daily and weekly meetings are taking place since August 2021, when the project began, and continue more rigorously as we come closer to the launch date.

The head of all operations and the final decision maker is the CEO George Chrysochou. His main task is to assign, moderate, and coordinate the entire team to complete daily, weekly, and monthly tasks and ensure the project meets its goals and objectives.

Each team member must invest a minimum of 8 hours of work during weekdays (with 9+ hours being optimal) and 5 hours of work during weekends. A Google spreadsheet is available for each team member where each completed task and the workouts should be recorded daily.

The responsibilities for each team member are defined in the private tasks lists found in the project’s proprietary drive data. The COO is responsible for overseeing the minimum required daily tasks/hours and reporting to the CEO. The CEO is responsible for supervising the COO’s own daily tasks/hours.

All code development tasks are managed by the CTO, Giorgos Georgiou, and a team of part-time developers and contractors.

The main design team comprises Olko Vladi, the Lead Character Designer, and Katerina Kuparadze, the Lead Graphic Designer. Evros Neofytides, the Lead Web Designer, provides additional design assistance on demand.

The marketing team comprises all main team members, which are assigned daily marketing responsibilities and their regular duties. All marketing activities are monitored via productivity sheets and custom CRM implementations.

This level of organizational structure ensures that our team will stay on track with our weekly tasks, milestones, deadlines, and processes. Every week, the CEO monitors and adjusts the weekly tasks with the assistance of all other team members.

Marketing Strategy

The core of our marketing strategy is based on five pillars:

1. Influencer marketing
2. Email outreach
3. PPC advertising
4. Contests
5. Community building

1. Influencer marketing:

Influencer marketing includes paid and free mentions from NFT, CNFT, and cryptocurrency space authorities.

Our marketing team has carefully created a detailed list of more than 2,000 NFT & Crypto influencers primarily active on Twitter and Youtube, and to a lesser extent on Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin.

We have been gathering promotional cost info for each influencer by reaching out to them over several months.

We then analyze their engagement metrics -including formulas for engagement rates, bot or inactive accounts percentage, activity rate, effective audience, reputation scores - and allocate our influencer budget accordingly.

2. Email outreach:

Email outreach efforts are categorized into two main phases:

The first phase is creating extensive, manually researched email lists of the thousands of websites related to the following niches: NFT, crypto, news media, social causes, social justice, NGO, gender equality, gender rights, etc.

The second phase is manually outreaching to those websites utilizing every email account and team member. We simply present our project and its social impact potential and share our media packages in our outreach attempts. We are also open to participating in interviews, events, contests, and partnership deals if the parties' goals and code of conduct align.

3. PPC advertising

Our team consists of two directors of two Google Partners agencies, who collectively have more than 20 years of experience in Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.

The PPC campaign will focus primarily on branding campaigns via Google Display Advertising, Google Search Advertising, Facebook Advertising, and to a smaller scale by using Twitter, Linkedin, Reddit, and Instagram.

In such campaigns, the main aspects of the project will be communicated with static and animated banners, shown to a carefully targeted user demographic of NFT and crypto enthusiasts.

4. Contests

Gender Unicorns will run regular contests to expand our user base and reward our most active and valuable members. Such contests will require meaningful community contributions, such as being an active participant in the dedicated gender channels, having a high number of positive mentions among the community, inviting a high number of relevant people in the community, publishing and sharing valuable content, taking the initiative for helping any associated social cause and charities, or any other related activity that helps strengthen the community and aligns with our social impact objectives.

The rewards for those contests will be:

• Pinklisting spots (limited to a maximum of 2 NFTs per individual)
• monetary rewards in $ADA
• exclusive moderator roles on our community channels such as discord
• exclusive access to private community channels
• voting rights to important project decisions
• exclusive access to new iterations of the Gender Battles
• exclusive positions within the Gender Alliances, and 
• perks defined upon community polls.

5. Community building

Our most prized asset is our community; therefore, we must ensure that it is built on a solid, safe, and respectful foundation that will allow us to scale our reach and maximize our impact.

Several automated qualitative and quantitative systems and structures will be placed to give recognition, rights, and rewards to the most reputable, active, and respectful community members. A bottom-up management system will be applied in selecting community moderators as their powers will depend on their reputation. The community will vote for which moderators and community speakers should be promoted via periodic polls.

Furthermore, the status and reputation of members who wish to enter the safelist or moderator team will also be verified via engagement metrics, discord bots, activity reports, and manual reviews by the moderators. Every safelist or moderator approval will require the agreement of the majority of the relevant moderating teams. If there is no consensus, an application can be re-examined after 1 week upon request.

Most importantly, we wish our community members to feel free to express themselves in their way and meet and exchange ideas and thoughts with others in a respectful environment. Everyone can join our discussion events and create a live call through our servers. We plan to bring regular speakers that will discuss gender diversity issues, among other topics, and encourage each of our members to join in and create their events.

Once those systems take place, we expect our Community to have the largest impact on our growth via viral marketing and word of mouth. This will be the true catalyst that will bring our project worldwide recognition.

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

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

Main Challenges

The main challenges that may jeopardize the project’s success are:

• The unstable macroeconomic and regulatory environment may affect the technological advancement of both the crypto and NFT market. There is an absence of an international body of NFTs for setting regulations and legalization globally.
• The invasion of Ukraine and global political instability affect the availability and performance of the highly skilled workforce. Two members of our core team (Olko & Luba) come from Ukraine and are facing dire effects from this horrible Russian attack against world freedom.
• The NFT market and technology is very new and hence is often a target of scammers, phishers, cyberattacks, and criminal activities
• The potential of some key team members leaving the project before it fully completes its objectives
• High inflation may trigger an exponential rise in our expected development and marketing costs and drastically reduce the purchasing power of our available budget/funding.
• Lack of transparency in our main channels of advertisement. Part of our marketing strategy depends on promotional Twitter accounts and websites with less than 2 years of existence that belong to unregulated natural entities. Inevitably, a part of them will not deliver the required services.

Risk Mitigation

Some of our mitigation strategies include:

• Emergency/contingency fund from the investing team of €30,000, in addition to the initial fund invested in the project for its planned operations. The emergency fund will be used to counter the rise in expected costs and unexpected development requirements.
• Cardano is unquestionably the most technologically advanced, future-proof blockchain technology. Nevertheless, we consider the unsystematic risk, and therefore we will release the mainnet of our game after rigorous testing in a technologically and regulatory stable period.
• In the unlikely case that a core member has to abandon the project before it’s fully implemented, we maintain a list of highly skilled candidates ready to replace any position in our current team. Also, we keep very detailed documentation for all the work processes and tasks required for each team member, which will function as a guide for every newcomer.
• Before we launch our mainnet, we will request independent audits from third parties such as Haskell consultants (such as Well-Typed ) and cybersecurity experts to inspect our code and features and analyze any potential website vulnerabilities.
• We have been using advanced marketing analytic tools to analyze the metrics of influencers and websites (e.g., engagement rates, bot or inactive accounts percentage, activity rate, effective audience, reputation scores). This way, we minimize our exposure to the lack of transparency and fraudulent activities.

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

The purpose of this funding is for us to develop the technical feautures of our NFT card game. Once this step is completed we don't forsee to require any additional development budget from Catalyst, even though we may request funding for projects related to the growth of the ESG impact of the project.

[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?

All Gender Unicorn team members work in prestigious international companies and participate in renowned international projects. Our accumulative experience helped us choose the correct mechanisms to help us coordinate and track our progress.

For the effective coordination of the Gender Unicorns team members, we are using the following tools:

• Google Workspace
• Google Drive
• Github
• Discord
• Jira
• Nimbus

All the milestones from our road map and inserted in Github and Jira enable us to track our progress at any time. To measure our project's progress and development, we introduced an agile methodology. The idea is to prioritize the tasks and then continuously deliver small functionalities of our project in small iterations (3 weeks). At the end of each iteration, our stakeholders will have the opportunity to see the demonstration of the development progress and provide feedback and recommendations. On the other hand, the development team will have the opportunity to evaluate their progress of the last iteration through retrospective and improvement. Jira will be our mainboard to keep track of our agile iterations and our backlog and roadmap.

About data management, we are using a tailor-made, GDPR compliant CRM system that helps us to monitor and manage our branding activities. Through our CRM we are tracking the daily OPEX of our project, enabling us to cooperate more effectively with influencers and partners. This system also helps us distribute our budget more effectively by comparing competing marketing offers. Additionally, we have created custom solutions that help us organize and analyze our community analytics across all of our media platforms, via measuring engagements, community size, users quality, and more.

For file exchange, and collaboration we are utilizing Google Workspace and Google drive, with access, restricted only to team accounts via dedicated profiles. We are securing all of our accounts and devices with 2FA authentication and allow access only to safelisted IPs. We are all using encrypted passwords and password management solutions to each service that we are using on both personal and business accounts.

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

Since our project has a complex nature, with several objectives, our success metrics will be broken down into three main categories, Social Impact, Minting Economics and Gaming Adoption.

Social Impact

The most crucial success factor is forming a vibrant, respectful, and active community that will accept and love each other. We foresee to have 30,000+ discord members within 2 months of launching our gameplay video and its respective marketing campaigns. Moreover, we wish to have at least 1,000 participants in the dedicated genders channels expressing their feelings, ideas and encouraging each other. By the end of the first year marketing operations we foresee to have 100,000+ discord members and more than 10,000+ gender channel participants.

As the community grows larger, and our alliances and game features come into life, we expect to have an increase of 5% in the engagement rate of our community members by the end of 2021. This translates into more than 5,000 messages for topics related to gender acceptance, inclusion and appreciation shared each month across our servers and social media channels.

We plan to run anonymous, period sentiment polls across our channels and measure the level of acceptance and satisfaction within our members. Our target is to have at least 80% of all participants stating with confidence that their involvement in the Gender Unicorns helped their emotional state and wellbeing. We also aim that at least 50% of all members found a new friend that they can trust within our community.

Minting Economics

We target to completely sell all the 10,000 NFTs of the Generation 1 collection, within 1 month since the minting and distribution phase begins. Only pinklisted (pre–approved) individuals will be allowed to enter the distribution lists, to ensure a fair, and diverse community of owners. As we mentioned above, the exact price of each NFTs will be determined later through community voting.

We expect to have more than 4,000 unique owners for the entire collection, a goal which will be in accordance with the pinklisting process. No pinklisted entity will be permitted to receive more than 5 NFTs each, during the pinklist. The majority of the pinklisted entities will be granted only 2 or 1 NFT.

Three to five NFTs per entity will be permitted to people of extraordinary contribution to the community. By keeping those limits we expect a more diverse and involved community of NFT owners.

We also expect to maintain a floor price of our collection that will be at least 200% above the original minting price. Our team however will not actively participate in “sweep the floor” initiatives, i.e. rebuying our own NFTs below a certain price, as such transactions are dishonest and manipulative. Instead, we will focus on increasing the usability and inherent value of the project to long-term investors.

Gaming Adoption

The next phase of our project is the creation of the Unicorn Battles card game and the encouragement of the active engagement of users in the game through gender alliances.

We expect to have at least 2,000 unique users participating in the Unicorn Battles once the Unilend service goes live, which will allow users to borrow Unicorns from others to form a team of 5 and compete. The only minimum requirement to enter a battle is owning at least 1 Unicorn which should be the Bet (explained in detail below). This flexibility allows more participants to enter the Battles.

Lent Unicorns should be at least 50% of the total supply, within one year of launching the Unilend platform. We will encourage the lending of Unicorns with special events, Unicoins rewards and livestream promotions.

In total, we anticipate to have more than 50,000 Unicorn Battles within the first year, which translates to more than 25 battles per active user.

All gender alliances should maintain a roughly equal level of active members, and total monthly battles, which roughly translated to 5% of the total for each alliance. We will achieve this with adjusted rewards as explained in the Unicorns Alliances section.

Several Unicorn Battles will be broadcasted live on our YouTube channel. We aim to accumulate more than 1 million views for our gameplay videos within 1 year of publishing the service. We plan to partner with at least 10 gaming influencers to promote our game, and accumulate more than 10 million views of our game on their personal accounts.

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

This is the updated, 2nd proposal for our project. We did our best to improve our weaknesses based on the feedback we recieved from the Community and hopefully this time we can win the funding and materialize our plan

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Rating

Happy Pride Month!

We are very proud that our project is eligible for the 5th category of the Sustainable Development Goals set by Project Catalyst in accordance with the United Nations' goals.

Achieving global gender equality is one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century. Nevertheless, genders are not limited in a gender binary classification of males and females.

Our project aims to give particular attention to the issue of recognizing the right of gender identity of all human beings. The specter and diversity of gender identities is manifested through our project and we ask all international organizations and governments to listen to the voice of the people suppressed by prejudice and hatred.

The passage of gender equality civil rights legislation should remain on the highest priorities of all administrations globally. The voting of legislation is the most convincing demonstration of a necessity to condemn the onslaught of existing laws targeting members of the LGBTQ+ community globally.

Gender Unicorns is the best medium for all participants to read about gender identities and support our cause.
