Proposals

There are 3 proposals we submitted in fund 12 to address different parts of the Aladin project. These tasks take place in parallel and at the same time, with different implementers.

Impact

The impact of the Aladin application is significant and far-reaching.

For the Cardano ecosystem

  1. Real-world adoption: By leveraging the remarkable properties of blockchain to address a range of existing real-world needs, Aladin stands out as one of the pioneering applications to implement blockchain technology on a large scale. This contributes significantly to enhancing the reputation of the Cardano ecosystem.

  2. Reach out to fresh users: By serving a large number of new users who have not yet had access to blockchain and Cardano. Users do not need to know technical terms that are difficult to understand about blockchain and can even reach people who have negative thoughts about crypto. Because using the dApp does not require the user's own ADA.

  3. Higher return network transaction fee: The Aladin platform's goal for the next two years is to facilitate thousands of job contracts daily. Assuming a modest daily target of 3,000 contracts, this translates to over 1 million job contracts annually. Each contract will require at least one transaction processed on the network, with each transaction costing 0.2 ADA in network fees. This translates to 200,000 ADA in transaction fees per year.

    Looking ahead to the next five years, as the platform matures and enters its expansion phase, the number of employment contracts is expected to reach a peak, with the application handling around 30,000 to 50,000 contracts daily. This would generate over 2 million ADA in network transaction fees annually.

    Additionally, each job may involve multiple contracts, and the network transaction fee per contract may exceed 0.2 ADA depending on the contract's complexity. This further increases the total annual transaction fee value, compared to the total amount we are requesting to be funded.

For the global economy

  1. Resource Reallocation: By connecting individuals with jobs to those with suitable skills. For instance, if someone in Singapore needs to write an advertisement to keep up with their project's communication campaign timeline, the Aladin app could suggest three highly skilled authors from Jamaica, Sydney, and Seoul, for them to choose from.

  2. Generating New Demands: A range of new demands will be created to provide more conveniences for users. For example, if a woman used to have to push her car when it ran out of gas or flooded, now she can post a job through the app to find someone nearby to tow her car for repair.

  3. Startup: Aladin facilitates a new wave of startups more easily than ever before, creating job opportunities, and new income, and contributing to the overall global economic growth.

  4. Reliable Tax Data: Aladin can create tamper-proof records of job transactions, providing governments with reliable data for tax purposes. This can rationalize tax processes, promote compliance, and enhance overall governance and economic efficiency. Additionally, it helps each user fulfill their rights and responsibilities as citizens of their country.

Capacity

We include people with many years of startup experience and have led teams with organizational sizes ranging from a few dozen to several hundred members. This gives us the capacity to deploy Aladin applications to different user segments effectively.

We are also advised by people with in-depth knowledge in the blockchain field, especially the Cardano blockchain, to ensure smart contracts and user identities will function properly and remain secure. Proven game theory will also be applied in the Aladin platform, to ensure Aladin will be governed and decentralized by users.

Our development team also includes engineers with many years of experience, specializing in programming applications in many different fields, especially applications in the banking sector in many different countries that require expertise. Strict confidentiality and legal compliance. This ensures that the Aladin application will be programmed with security as a top priority, and comply with regulations of national government agencies. The current development team of about 80 people will meet expansion needs when the application is deployed into the real world.
