KCF Grant Proposal - CHANNEL-iN

Project name : CHANNEL-iN

Product Description

CHANNEL-iN is an influencer advertising platform that is based on blockchain technology. Based on digital assets, we started an advertising platform that can participate in the various persons concerned (advertiser, influencer, follower). We are planning to grow as a community platform.

KCF Grant

Grant Proposal

The endemic problem with other projects (Aavegotchi, Ether cards, etc.) that use random numbers generated outside the blockchain network in a centralized method to smart contracts is that it is difficult to provide transparent information and miners can manipulate data. They are solving this problem and upgrading the service through Chainlink’s oracle service.

Also, CHANNEL-iN requires random numbers when users want to grow up the main NFT in the i-TEZ service, and the service is currently operated by generating random numbers in a centralized method. Recently, we have been receiving requests from users to provide more transparent information about random number generation methods, and we have been considering solutions to address this. While searching for a technical solution, I came across the VRF service of Orakl Network, the official blockchain oracle of the Klaytn Foundation, and would like to use the VRF service to gain greater credibility from community members.

We aim to grow into Klaytn Network’s representative Web3 community platform by increasing sales through advertising services and at the same time planning and developing various contents through i-TEZ.

We propose a total of USD 50,000 as a grant. This is based on i-TEZ usage traffic (generated about 26,600 random numbers) occurred over a total of 110 days from 2023.07.11 to 2023.10.30. We are requesting funds that can be used for a total of 1 year.

Expected Result

The goal of the grant proposal is to revitalize services through transparent information provision.
Because transparent information about random number generation is not provided, there are significantly fewer users actually consuming content compared to users who have minted the main NFT on the current platform.

We expect that the introduction of Orakl Network’s VRF will increase the total transaction volume by about 23 times.

(This figure is calculated based on the average number of attempts when upgrading from Lv.1 to Lv.2.)

After the renewal service was opened on March 31 of this year, active influencers on the platform uploaded promotional videos, attracting a large number of new users, and as a result, the total number of users increased by more than five times compared to the initial period of the service. If VRF is applied and increased trust in the community users, we expect to be able to increase the influx of new users by conducting marketing with influencers.

Most of the advertising platforms that had established themselves within the Klaytn ecosystem are not operating properly or have discontinued their services. CHANNEL-iN judges this as an opportunity. By laying the basis for further growth, we want to increase the trust and loyalty of community users and solidify our position as an advertising platform.

We hope to keep an eye on the future of CHANNEL-iN and look forward to further contributing to the Klaytn ecosystem through this grant and growing into an advertising platform loved not only by our platform but also by the Klaytn community.

Development Milestone

It is expected that VRF application and distribution to the actual service environment will be completed within 20 days.

Development details

  • VRF is applied for the purpose of generating random numbers to level up NFT used in i-TEZ

  • Establishment of VRF usage monitoring system

  • (Optional) Monthly VRF usage report can be delivered

Etc.

Our team’s grant usage is difficult to set milestones for output, which is different from development and marketing. In particular, it is difficult to measure the outcome of the funding depending on activation and usage. Therefore, we hope to set a service usage period and manage the funding through a Contract account required to use the service without our team’s withdrawal authority.

To summarize, it is like this.

● $50,000 klay credit to call VRF for 1 year

● The funding is received through the contract account that our team cannot withdraw.

● Remaining quantity returned after the period has passed

● If Klay is exhausted early before the expiration of the period, the service is maintained with team funds.

● In order to make VRF usage status accessible at any time, we plan to create and distribute contract functions and usage status.

Budget Form

It seems okay to use a restricted grant for withdrawals in order to utilize Orakl Network’s VRF.

Thank you for your opinion.

We use the grant purely for the purpose of using VRF as described in the proposal and we plan to prevent withdrawals to the will of the team. Also, we plan to develop an additional contract to share detailed state for using VRF.
