Hello DASH community,
I've been trying my luck in the VC space for about a year with very little luck. I have a privacy wallet concept that requires ~$75k to build out the core and get us a prototype for BETA testing but the VC space is largely anti-privacy and liquidity in Defi has been gradually falling, making it hard to get financed. I wanted to see if the DASH community would be interested in this concept and help enable my company to provide anonymity and cold storage capabilities to the world!
Project Title : SoveranceOS
Description : Privacy wallet.
Manifesto/Vision : Leading cold storage brands have back doors, we all know the firmware updates and security breaches of these major providers. Soverance is made to combat these issues and looking to empower cold storage anonymity so everyone can participate in best crypto practices without major providers having access to your personal information, access to your daily use device, and above all, your seed phrase.
Problem : The major issue is that the leading cold storage companies are virtually inaccessible to the largest market of global crypto users. 82% of the world earns less than $1,500 a month and the feasibility to purchase a glorified USB stick for ~$150 completely misses the highest growing population of crypto adopters, being; Africa, South America, and South East Asia. This demographic is synonymous with Android mobile users, which is ~75% of the global mobile market share. Soverance is the software solution to provide cold storage capabilities to the virtually untapped and built in global market of 82% of the world that would otherwise be left out of crypto best practices. By repurposing obsolete mobile devices, we cater to this demographic at an unchallengeable price point, being that we can provide our software package at the click of a button, to anywhere in the world at any price point. We are asking for micro donations to facilitate our development and believe that the people of various community would find our solution favorable to the current market leaders due to our ability to provide anonymity to crypto users.
Solution : We are using the built-in hardware of obsolete Android devices and repurposing the AndoirdOS stack to be modified and replaced with a wallet manager solution - SoveranceOS. In this case, we mitigate the needs for KYC and data harvesting through a
Product Features : The product feature is to disable internet capabilities on the user's obsolete mobile device to provide a truly cold storage system. This will force the device to enter into airplane mode, remove IMEI (cellular pinging), disable GPS, in turn, creating a truly anonymous wallet. the device will be USB only to sync chain-data.
Differentiator: To hold your digital assets in cold storage, the device should be cold. Using a leading brand that is connected to your daily use device is counterproductive since having Google, Facebook, internet connection (generally), can lead to your photos and notes pages being basically public data and vulnerable for compromisation. Having your GUI is the next best solution, but even then, most people have to buy a separate laptop, which can cost often times over $100. Our product will be a software download that places your cold storage into the most secure means compared to the current competitors, without backdoors. We plan on providing this solution for $20-$50 per download and completely change the turn over the centralized cold storage market into a; 'privacy-first' market.
Validation : We are a valid software company registered in DE, USA.
Progress : We are currently on our angle round and are looking for donations of $20-$250 (1-10 DASH), micro equity deals start at $10,000, and we are also seeking potential founders who believe in our cause. If this is you, write to me: [email protected]
Team : Just me and a few privacy advocates that work in the background. You can probably find my details online.
Grant Request $ : $10,000 (~390 DASH).
What the Funds Are For : The first $10k will allow us to get enough code written to approach larger capital and for us to show investors that the demand for this solution is high. After 3-4 angle rounds or receiving the proper funds for 3 month of burn (~$75k), we should be completing our prototype and allowing those who donated the ability to have a SoveranceOS Beta download.
Help Requested : We are scouting other founders, if you're interested in this concept, have experience/connections to financers, reach out to me at [email protected]
