We’re thrilled to share that we have shared our proposal with Project Catalyst to avail a grant for contributing to the Cardano ecosystem. Cardano is among the leading blockchain networks in the world, with ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ranking among the top 10 cryptocurrencies on [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/). Cardano’s proof-of-stake blockchain platform combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralised applications, systems, and societies. [Project Catalyst](https://projectcatalyst.io/) is Cardano's revolutionary innovation engine and one of the world's most prominent decentralised grant funds. Project Catalyst is a major driver for the growth of the Cardano ecosystem as it connects projects with promising ideas to a funding source. The ideas are vetted and voted for by the Cardano community, and spearheaded by the Cardano treasury. ### E Money Network’s Grant Proposal We believe that E Money Network can add tremendous value to the Cardano ecosystem by integrating a compliant, multi-chain wallet, reducing compliance costs for Cardano dApps by enabling seamless KYC/AML solutions for them and simplifying fiat-crypto on-off ramping powered by regulated eEUR support. E Money Network has a proven track record of building compliant and scalable blockchain solutions. Our infrastructure has already attracted significant engagement on our testnet, demonstrated by 80,000+ unique wallets, $70M in transaction volume, and 10,000+ TPS. These metrics highlight E Money Network’s ability to handle high transaction volumes securely. E Money Network’s team consists of experienced blockchain developers, compliance specialists, and project managers with deep expertise in multi-chain integration, DeFi, and regulated financial services. By integrating E Money Network’s suite of ecosystem products, Cardano dApps and users can benefit from a more accessible, compliant, and cross-chain-enabled blockchain environment. E Money Wallet - our network’s native Web3 wallet will ensure that every user accessing the Cardano ecosystem through it undergoes mandatory KYC verification. The integration of our 1:1 pegged eEUR stablecoin also brings a unique financial tool to Cardano as the first EUR-pegged stablecoin on the chain. Furthermore, broadening accessibility and strengthening compliance makes Cardano an even more attractive choice for new decentralised finance (DeFi) and real-world applications. ### Key Milestones to Measure the Project proposal success We have shared a list of key milestones that will enable the communities of both the blockchain platforms to measure the success of the collaboration. We have briefly outlined those milestones here. **Milestone 1: Cardano Chain Integration Setup** Timeline: 1 Month Objective: Establish the foundational technical and infrastructure setup required to integrate the Cardano blockchain into the E Money Network wallet. **Milestone 2: eEUR Stablecoin Bridging to Cardano** Timeline: 2 Months Objective: Develop and deploy a secure bridge to bring eEUR, the 1:1 pegged MiCA-compliant EUR stablecoin, to the Cardano blockchain, making it the first EUR-pegged stablecoin on Cardano. **Milestone 3: Wallet Integration for Cardano dApps and Compliance Services** Timeline: 1 Month Objective: Enable Cardano dApps to integrate with E Money Wallet, granting them access to compliance tools (KYC/AML) and providing a seamless, compliant infrastructure for enhanced dApp functionality. **Milestone 4: Mainnet Deployment and Community Onboarding** Timeline: 1.5 Months Objective: Deploy Cardano support and eEUR stablecoin on E Money Network’s mainnet, and onboard the Cardano community, including developers and users, through education and support initiatives. **Milestone 5: Project Close-out and Reporting** Timeline: 1 Month Objective: Finalize the project by delivering a comprehensive project report, documenting outcomes, and creating a close-out video to demonstrate the impact of the integration on the Cardano ecosystem. ### Expected Cost Breakdown of the Proposed Work and Resources After carefully calculating the expected cost of the proposed work, we have arrived at the figure of 2 million ADA to complete the project successfully. This budget outlines the key resources, third-party services, and internal costs associated with each milestone. We expect the project duration to be between 4 months to 6 months. **Following is a summarised version of the cost breakdown.** **Milestone 1: Cardano Chain Integration Setup (400,000 ADA)** This includes costs related to development resources such as blockchain developers, security and testing, documentation and technical resources, project management and overhead costs such as licence applications, tool subscriptions, etc. **Milestone 2: eEUR Stablecoin Bridging to Cardano (500,000 ADA)** This includes costs related to development and bridge engineering, compliance and legal, testing and quality assurance, development and support, infrastructure and tools, and project management. **Milestone 3: Wallet Integration for Cardano dApps and Compliance Services (500,000 ADA)** This includes costs related to development for dApp integration, compliance API setup, technical documentation and SDK development, community engagement and project management and operational costs. **Milestone 4: Mainnet Deployment and Community Onboarding (600,000 ADA)** This includes costs related to deployment and monitoring, community engagement and education, content creation, support staff, security & audit for mainnet launch, project management and operational expenses. **Milestone 5: Project Close-out and Reporting (Final Report and Community Video) (100,000 ADA)** This includes costs related to Close-out report and analysis, video production, reporting and community sharing and project management.
