Contact details redacted; canonical application lives on filpgf.io. 1.1 Project Name SealGuard 1.2 Project Github https://github.com/Fmsticks2/SealGuard 1.3 Project Website https://sealguard.xyz/ 1.4 Team Lead/Point of Contact Name: Olubusuyi Isaiah, Title: Project Manager/Founder, Channel: Telegram, Handle: @iziboy27 1.5 Category [ "RFPs (Coming Soon)" ] 1.6 Open Source Status Fully Open Source 2.1 Project Summary **SealGuard** addresses the RFP's Focus Area 1: customer-facing compliance products built on Filecoin. Our project will accomplish three things within six months: 1. Launch a production-ready audit trail product for regulated industries, 2. Onboard 3-5 paying enterprise customers with signed agreements, and 3. Create a repeatable sales playbook for selling Filecoin-based compliance solutions. This work supports application users (compliance officers, auditors) and application builders (who learn from our architecture). The gap we address is simple: Filecoin has verifiable storage but no customer-facing compliance product that enterprises can buy today. **SealGuard** fills that gap, directly advancing Filecoin's 2026 goal of converting storage capacity into paid, recurring revenue from real customers with real names. 2.2 Who does this work support? [ "Application Builders", "Application Users", "Other" ] 2.3 Total Funding Requested (USD) $50000 2.4 Milestones & Budget [ { "title": "Customer Acquisition & Founding Customer Program", "description": "Launch and execute a founding customer program targeting enterprise compliance teams in healthcare, finance, and legal sectors. Includes developing sales materials, conducting outreach to potential customers, delivering live demos, negotiating pilot agreements, and securing signd commitments.", "dueDate": "2026-09-16", "fundingRequested": "$10000", "completionCriteria": "At least 3 signed paying customers with active subscriptions; documented customer feedback and use cases; refined pitch deck and demo based in customer input." }, { "title": "Product Enhancement & API Development", "description": "Build and launch a public API for **SealGuard**, allowing other applications to integrate verification and audit trail functionality. Enhance dashboard with usage analytics and compliance reporting.", "dueDate": "2026-11-16", "fundingRequested": "$20000", "completionCriteria": "Live public API with documentation, 2 third-party integrations, enhanced dashboard features deployed" }, { "title": "Security Audit & Enterprise Readiness", "description": "Conduct third-party security audit of smart contracts and backend systems. Implement audit recommendations. Achieve baseline enterprise security standards for compliance use cases.", "dueDate": "2026-12-16", "fundingRequested": "$10000", "completionCriteria": "Completed audit report with no critical vulnerabilities, all recommendations addressed; documentation of security measures for enterprise customers" }, { "title": "Go-to-Market Launch & Revenue Generation", "description": "Full public launch of **SealGuard** with self-serve subscription plans. Execute marketing campaigns, publish case studies from pilot customers, and establish partnership with 2 Filecoin Storage Providers.", "dueDate": "2027-01-16", "fundingRequested": "$10000", "completionCriteria": "$5,000+ Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), 2 Storage Provider partnerships, 3 published case studies; live self-serve subscription plans" } ] 3.1 Impact pathway **OUTPUT:** ***SealGuard*** compliance platform with audit trails and PDP verification. **OUTCOME:** Enterprises gain verifiable data integrity. Compliance officers reduce audit prep from weeks to minutes. **IMPACT:** Filecoin gains paid, recurring storage revenue from regulated enterprises with real names. This drives Paid Onchain Deals (each sealed document creates a deal), strengthens Network Profitability (subscription revenue), and scales Flagship Client Adoption (our customers become reference cases for Filecoin's enterprise sales). 3.2 Verification metrics 1. Documents sealed - *SealGuardRegistry.sol* contract events on Filecoin blockchain - Count DocumentedRegistered events from contract deployment - 5000+ documents 2. Active subscription payments (FIL) - *SubscriptionPayments.sol* contract on Filecoin - Count unique wallet addresses with active subscription plans - 50+ active subscribers 3. Total FIL value locked in subscriptions - Filecoin blockchain via payment contract - Sum of all FIL/tFIL subscription payments received by contract - 5000+ FIL 4. Unique wallet addresses interacting - Transaction history - Count unique from addresses calling contracts - 200+ 5. Total transaction volume (FIL) - Transaction value aggregation - Sum of FIL from all contract interactions - 10000+ FIL 6. Number of Storage Providers used - Filechain deal data - Count distinct SPs storing sealed documents - 10+ SPs All metrics can be independently verified by anyone with access to: - The Filecoin blockchain explorer (e.g., filfox.io for Calibration/Mainnet) - The deployed contract addresses - Read access to contract events and transaction history This transparency is a core strength of building on Filecoin. 3.3 References **Reference 1** **Name:** Longfei **Role:** Solution Architect @ FIL-B **Relationship:** Direct reviewer and mentor for SealGuard during 4-month Alpha Cohort **Contact:** Longfei (Slack handle) **Reference 2** **Name:** Patrick Woodhead **Role:** Protocol Labs / Alpha Cohort Mentor **Relationship:** Provided strategic feedback and ecosystem guidance **Contact:** Patrick W (Slack handle) 4.1 Monthly Operating Burn [ "< $10K (basic solo operation or part-time team)" ] 4.2 What % of total team monthly burn depends on this grant? 90-100% 4.3 If this grant is not awarded, what happens? The project would likely pause as we cannot currently self-fund full-time development. We would need to seek other grants or revenue before continuing. 4.4 Core Team **Name:** Olubusuyi Isaiah **Role:** Project Manager & Founder **Responsibilities:** Product strategy, roadmap planning, customer discovery, go-to-market strategy, grant applications, stakeholder communication, and ecosystem engagement. **Relevant Experience:** Led **SealGuard** from concept to functional MVP.

[ "No" ] 5.1 Key risks & dependencies **Technical Risks:** Filecoin network changes could affect integrations. **Mitigation:** Monitor updates, version-pin dependencies, maintain adaptability. **Team Risk:** Solo developer capacity. **Mitigation:** Thorough documentation, cross-training, contingency budget for backup dev. **Market Risk:** Enterprise customer acquisition delays. **Mitigation:** Founding customer program starting Month 1, target warm leads from Alpha Cohort. **Dependencies:** Filecoin testnet stability, customer FIL adoption. **Mitigation:** Alternative networks, fiat payment options via Stripe. Any feedback you have on the application process? The process was clear and well-structured but wished RFPs came way too early. Anything else you want to share that we didn't ask? **SealGuard** is already a working product, not just an idea. We have: - A live MVP deployed at *sealguard.netlify.app* - A professional marketing website (*sealguard.xyz*) articulating our product vision - Smart contracts live on Filecoin Calibration testnet - Full Synapse SDK integration (payments, storage, approvals) - Won in Filecoin Alpha Cohort Showcase hackathon prize - Top 10 selection for the Filecoin Alpha Cohort Showcase We acknowledge that our marketing website displays aspirational metrics (1M+ documents, 500+ clients) that represent our 18+ month targets, not current figures. We are not starting from zero. This grant will accelerate customer acquisition, API development, and enterprise readiness. We are ready to ship immediately upon funding. Contributing to Core Infrastructure? No. SealGuard does not maintain core Filecoin infrastructure. We are building an application layer product on top of Filecoin. Our project falls under the RFP category, specifically responding to RFPs related to "Customer-facing products built on Filecoin" for compliance, audit trails, and regulated data storage. We depend on Filecoin's core infrastructure (not the other way around). Objective 1 Indirect Objective 2 Indirect Objective 3 Indirect
