PROPOSALS
View recent proposals we have in the works through Cardano Project Catalyst.
We present real world problems with proposals on how to solve them to the Cardano community, which then votes on whether our proposals receive funding from the treasury.

Ikigai’s proposals from open source work, improved ecosystem improvements, games, and more.
Ikigai | Award-Winning Indie Game, Ascent: Rivals - Beta Release
We aim to onboard traditional consumers, gamers, and spectators with our game, Ascent: Rivals. As PAX Rising and DreamHack award winners, we’re poised to drive a new wave of users with a smash hit.
Ikigai | Auctions on Isomorphic L2 State Channels
Make use of new incremental commit/decommit features to support full-backed auctions, allowing integration with existing L1 auction protocols and creating the best user’s experience possible.
Ikigai | Steam Wallet Account Linking and Integration, open-source
Provide open-source extension to allow easy wallet linking across Steam. Players will be able to gain access to teams based on which NFTs they hold.
Ikigai | Shopify Plugin expanding Cardano reach to 4.5 million stores
Allow merchants a plug and play Cardano plugin enabling discounts or gated listings to any Cardano collection. Holders will be able to utilize their NFT for special items, drops, or discounts.

Problem Statement
Cardano Hydra has been used to develop sophisticated applications that benefit from L2 scalability. However, additional work is required to turn these into production-ready services on Mainnet.
Proposed Solution
Upgrade the hydra auction reference implementation into a production-ready app deployable on mainnet and add UX improvements for commercial viability. Develop a general SDK for similar applications.

Ikigai + MLabs – Hydra app SDK and auction service
Upgrade the hydra auction reference implementation into a production-ready app deployable on mainnet and add UX improvements for commercial viability. Develop a general SDK for similar applications.
Logosphere – dApp Hackathons
This proposal is making it easy to store offchain data through Logosphere’s schema generated business domain model and hosting a hackathon to help improve Cardano’s development ecosystem.
Problem Statement
Lots of development time is spent on boilerplate code for off-chain data persistence. Even if a project ships, developing in their ecosystem is hard.
Proposed Solution
Schema generated business domain model w/native temporal state management in the Logosphere L2 sidechain backed by FlureeDB + [HACKATHONS]

Problem Statement
Some fields in documents need to stay hidden or restricted due to privacy concerns. Implementing this at the field-level is a difficult task
Proposed Solution
Use Fluree data-centric cell-level security with Smart Functions to secure off-chain data shared between dApps and their users

Logosphere – Cell Level Security
Fluree implements data centric security at its core through a feature called Smart Functions which conditionally defines who can access or modify data at the cell level. This way, the access rules are baked inside the data itself residing on an immutable ledger.
Graph DB Sidechain with Fluree
This proposal is about building a data-centric metadata sidechain that will be powered by W3C semantic web standards and provide ability to link and share data across DApps all while guaranteeing the same degree of integrity, trust and proveable provenance as the on-chain data.
Problem Statement
Off-chain DApp data storage options build silos that limit data’s use across the ecosystem and lack comparable on-chain immutability/proof
Proposed Solution
Build a provable, data-centric sidechain for DApps with Fluree immutable graph ledger/DB that leverages W3C semantic linked-data standards
