Benefits for NEAR ecosystem
Babylon Voice will be able to help the games, metaverse devs, creators, and brands built on NEAR increase their community by simplifying the process of shifting from competitors’ blockchains, as well as making the process of joining easier and less stressful for new users from web2 to web3, who are newcomers in ownership economy. NEAR should become a convenient entry point to the Metaverse, web3 world for Genz, Millennials, and new audiences who would be ready to switch their activity from traditional gaming, and entertainment to web3, and protect digital identity from bots, scams, and driving purpose and profit through high-standard financial inclusion via DeFi Web3.
And users can generate new transactions on NEAR blockchain, boosting whole ecosystem growth.

Problem/Solution
Purpose: Digital Identity and evolve into a creative economy network with top influencers.
Financial inclusion, Democratizing access to ownership, Digital Identity.
Identity substitute to broaden access to inclusive financial services via web3.
(1) Digital (Voice) IdentityToken based on VoicePrint,
Spectrogram to include on-chain and off-chain behavior and remove barriers to access to the financial system, that make it straightforward for people to earn a higher yield without the traditional tools of identification or prove their creditworthiness. It’s a user-friendly option for traditionally underbanked populations to protect their identity from scams, and bots and get access to monetization, capital, credit, and other game-changing financial profits. 1.7B adults worldwide still don’t have access to a bank account, according to data released by the World Bank. Babylon Voice can help unbanked people or NFT-degens, web3 creators, and gamers get access to the banking system and add value to the broader blockchain ecosystem.
(2) Digital Identity - 1.1 billion people around the world have no proof of identity. Often, getting evidence of identity is a cumbersome process that requires extensive paperwork and gathering documentation that some don’t have access to. Blockchain presents a number of opportunities to offer solutions to the current issues around digital identity. There’re a number of reasons that people can’t access the banking system that relates to lack of identification: don’t have access to the documents required or undocumented immigrants out of fear of deportation. In other cases, digital identity is fraught with privacy and data insecurity issues. Internet users constantly offer PII to companies that have unclear or opaque data security processes.
(3) Media Wallet, Ownership/Rights. Democratizing access to ownership, faster, cheaper digital payments for trade. One of the benefits of web3 is that it has the potential to reward users for their participation in a project, democratizing access to wealth creation. We’re interested in efforts that broaden the group of people who can benefit from the economic upside of ownership.

Product/Tech roadmap
iOS Test-flight for 10 000 users and Voice NFT on June 4-15
Make a Near-API/Web3 Storage based on development & testing, announcing the unity library + making the service public
Launch 10000 NFT Voices for Wallet
MVP (minimum viable product) built on NEAR, developing an integration
Project duration: 2 - 5 months

April-May 2022
(1) Launch as Voice marketplace with Rarible; Republic API for Market-Making publisher (Growing 300+%, Discord);
(2) AI: Real-Time Zero-Shot for 30+ languages, it takes 7 sec to clone/beauty your Voice, 3D Avatar (40+ Models for 600+ hours, 34X faster process)
Our next step is a mobile-first way for proof of ownership and Media Wallet with Digital Identity: decentralized AI for Synthetic Content is Secured, and Communities are driven by privacy, membership, rewards on WEB3

The beta is to be developed within June 2022. After NEAR module development, an NFT (for rewarding, authentication, Voice Metaverse) and Smart Contracts management/interactions through the web/mobile interface will be integrated. AI, Web3 Storage, Blockchain for Media Wallet to be used (to be adjusted after RnD and Web3 Development): AI, a framework using for back-end side Rust/ReactNative/React.js for frontend.
Focus on AI Models on device and UX/UI approach for cross-platform.
Smart Contracts developed on Rust programming languages for NEAR blockchain (WASM) with cross-chain support by future developments by EVM support (such as Aurora EVM), which cover the following processes:

  • Assets/revenues distribution;
  • Rewarding;
  • NFTs integration and Minting Audiograms
  • Players/3D+Voice onboarding.
    Smart Contracts’ initial settings to be adjusted in the interface.
