Fractar - Latin America RWA Franchise Model

ACTIVE
th
thiago.ouros
Author

Implementation would democratize and significantly expand access to real estate investment across Latin America by enabling fractional ownership, increasing liquidity, and reducing regulatory hurdles. The Cardano community benefits from enhanced ecosystem visibility, increased total value locked (TVL) through integrated DeFi mechanisms, and sustainable use of the treasury with pay back of funds on the long term. Overall, this fosters ecosystem growth, attracts both crypto-native and traditional investors, and reinforces Cardano’s competitive positioning in the fast-growing tokenized Real World Assets (RWA) market.

Crypto Inheritance and Recovery Dapp - GenWealth

ACTIVE
ge
genwealth
Author

As previously mentioned, our solution eliminates the biggest user experience challenges associated with self-custody, a fundamental requirement for interacting with our Cardano DApp ecosystem

Such a solution would represent significant benefits for all the self-custodial users of Cardano:

  • Blockchain-Based Will Execution: Users can set predefined inheritance rules via smart contracts, ensuring a secure, trustless transfer of assets to beneficiaries—without exposing their holdings by sharing a seed phrase.

  • Rule-Based Recovery Mechanism: For the first time, Cardano users can implement a smart contract-powered recovery system in case they lose their seed phrase without giving up self-custody. This solution will allow you to recover assets even after a seed phrase has been lost, according to the strict rules you define. This addresses one of the biggest pain points of the self-custody experience.

By significantly improving the self-custody user experience, we’re not only enhancing security and convenience for existing users but also making self-custody more accessible for new users who have concerns about inheritance planning or the lack of recovery options.

There is a large segment of potential users who are tech-savvy enough to use self-custodial wallets but remain hesitant due to these challenges. Our solution removes these barriers, allowing more users to engage confidently with self-custody, Cardano DApps, and the broader ecosystem.

Additionally, integrating Cardano DApps within our smart vaults will provide a seamless experience, making it easier for users to interact with DeFi, and other Cardano blockchain-powered applications. This, in turn, will increase DApp adoption and on-chain activity on Cardano.

Our solution also directly aligns with Cardano’s goal to become the DeFi Layer for Bitcoin. By introducing this inheritance and recovery functionality to Bitcoin users, who deeply value decentralization, self-custody, and trustless technologies, we can attract a lot of Bitcoin liquidity into Cardano with a simple but needed use case that solves a major existing problem for Bitcoiners.

Finally, this solution will also attract real-world liquidity to Cardano. There have been Inheritance firms and Lawyers who have demonstrated interest in piloting this technology in their operations. This is an opportunity we could take advantage of to bring more assets and liquidity to Cardano, as this firm wants to tokenize assets to manage the Inheritance process using this technology and the security, transparency, and reliability of the Cardano blockchain and the untampered data it stores.

Why is the potential for this technology in the Inheritance Industry so large? Currently, the process of managing inheritances is inefficient, manual, and time-consuming, often incurring costs between 3% and 10% of the total inheritance. By simplifying and automating these processes, the solution reduces delays and costs, significantly improving productivity for inheritance firms.

We have already engaged with firms in the industry, demonstrating our technology and gathering valuable feedback for improvements. These firms have demonstrated excitement and willingness to pilot our solution and have expressed their availability to contribute with feedback to help us build a tool that can be used effectively in the real world.

The inheritance industry manages trillions of dollars in assets globally. This technology could be a great way to capture some of that value and liquidity into the overall Cardano ecosystem by providing Firms with an easy-to-use technology that streamlines processes such as inheritance planning, beneficiary tracking, and asset distribution. For the usage of this technology, firms will be incentivized to tokenize the RWAs they manage into the Cardano Blockchain.

As a Cardano Contributor and holder, I believe that what Cardano needs for meaningful long-term adoption is to build technologies that solve real-world problems and have a chance to be adopted by Industries, and this is the kind of work we are doing with GenWealth and this technology, and why we believe it makes sense to propose this to Dreps and the entire Cardano Community to be considered for the annual budget, as one of the priorities for this year is to attract liquidity and more real world adoption, which we can deliver.

Hardware Wallets Maintenance

ACTIVE

michal_petro
Author

If implementation of new Cardano features and breaking changes is not completed then hardware wallets may become incompatible with Cardano, stopping users from accessing newer blockchain features or stop working altogether.

If regular maintenance, bugfixing and developer support is not completed, wallets may lack functionalities and development of tooling that is using HW wallets may become impossible or much more difficult.

Starstream: next gen VM

ACTIVE

Author

Starstream supports use-cases that require private computation (necessary for many RWA use-cases) enabling a new category of apps to exist on Cardano. It does this while also allowing for near-zero cost of batching txs which massively improves scalability even for DeFi use-cases

DecSocial Embedded Wallets

Author

Cardano Users: Bondex will serve as an interoperable online identity/passport that will enable them to unlock economic opportunities based on their reputation and capture rewards from the DAPPs and Apps they interact with the most in Cardano ecosystem and beyond

Cardano Ecosystem: The gap between Web 2 and Web 3 regarding user data presents a significant weakness as we build this next iteration of the internet. We believe there is room for public profiles in web 3, ones in which users choose what data to verify and are empowered to choose if and how it is monetized. Bondex profiles will serve a login method across the Cardano ecosystem, enabling enable its players to get to know their users better, people are more than wallets. This will allow them to create better incentives and loyalty programs through superior targeting and user quality metrics
