Please describe your proposed solution

How we perceived the problem

As the ecosystem expands, the increasing number of protocols and tokens introduces various challenges.

Tracking wallet activities and portfolios, along with advanced token analytics like staking profit dashboards and holder distribution, remain premium features, often requiring expensive NFTs for access. Users also need timely alerts for large transfers or whale movements affecting their holdings as well as looking for optimal DeFi strategies

We aim to introduce a free data analytics tool that provides comprehensive token and wallet information to promote equality and transparency. As the core of the tool, we continually enhance it with features like proactive user-specific notifications, and more, to address the challenges users face around token and wallet activities.

Our features:

• Token 360: A hub for comprehensive token information, including holder distribution, token supply, floating supply, liquidity flow, staking trends over time, as well as lending, borrowing, farming positions, and profit dashboards. It covers all key aspects of token activity.

• Defi Strategy Hub: A hub that helps users optimize their returns on investments by combining different DeFi protocols and strategies. By pooling funds and utilizing multiple DeFi platforms, a Defi Strategy Hub simplifies the process of finding optimal strategies from various decentralized protocols, such as staking, lending, or liquidity provision.

• Portfolio: By aggregating wallet data, users can access detailed portfolio pages that reveal their activity and positions across various protocols. This includes positions across protocols; CDPs on Indigo, lending/borrowing, and liquidity provisioning across DEXs.

• Proactive Notifications: Our smart alert system keeps users informed with proactive notifications tailored to their portfolios. Starting with key metrics like wallet holdings in ADA, top 10% tokens, and significant transfers or whale movements, this feature adapts based on user feedback and continuous monitoring.

Our reasons for approaching it in the way that we have

We began developing this analytics tool to give users a broader understanding of what’s happening within the ecosystem. Recognizing the challenges outlined earlier, combined with our experience in big data, we knew that collecting and analyzing large-scale data is our expertise. We’re confident that we can provide effective solutions and have the capabilities to implement them smoothly, ultimately improving the experience for the Cardano community.

Who will our project engage

As a data tool, our project will engage the entire Cardano community, regardless of whether you are a holder, trader, liquidity provider, lender, or any other participant. Our tool will be beneficial to all users, no matter what strategy you prefer.

How we will demonstrate or prove our impact

We will evaluate key metrics such as page views, unique users, and daily active users to measure the effectiveness of our solution. Additionally, recognition from users and other projects within the ecosystem will further validate our influence.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Value to the Cardano Community

Our project aims to remove barriers to accessing advanced analytics and tracking wallet activities within the ecosystem. By enhancing equality and transparency without imposing additional fees, we empower the community.

Measurement of Impact:

We will track the adoption of the project by monitoring predefined key metrics, including daily and weekly active users, as well as overall website activity.

Sharing Outputs and Opportunities:

All project results will be published on our website for easy access and daily use by anyone. To extend our reach, we will also share findings through the Twitter and Discord channels of our partner projects. Additionally, we will regularly publish technical articles that provide detailed explanations of our analysis processes, including data collection and analysis methods, ensuring that everyone can easily understand the data pipeline and results.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

Our team consists of highly qualified and talented individuals with diverse backgrounds in software development and data analysis, showcasing our expertise. We understand the existing pain points within the ecosystem and, combined with our extensive experience in big data, we are well-equipped to collect and analyze large datasets effectively. This makes us confident in our ability to deliver this project successfully.

Since joining the Cardano space in 2021, we have completed several courses, including the Plutus Pioneer Program (3rd and 4th cohorts) and the Cardano Blockchain Alpha Program. Our MVP includes core features that allow users to manage their assets, track delegation performance, and view transaction history, as well as monitor wallet positions and trading activities across 11 protocols, including Minswap, Sundaeswap, Wingriders, Spectrum, Muesliswap, TeddySwap, Vyfi, Levvy, Lenfi, CherryLend, and Indigo.
