Please describe your proposed solution.

Our proposed solution is to secure the necessary server costs for Cardanoscan, ensuring its sustainable and uninterrupted availability over the next 6 months in this crypto winter. Cardanoscan is a highly regarded Cardano explorer utilized on major networks such as mainnet, pre-prod, and preview. By guaranteeing server support, we can maintain Cardanoscan's user-friendly interface with all these key features for regular users as well as Cardano developers who are building tools.

Some of the critical features of Cardanoscan

  • User/developer-friendly transaction details, with metadata, contract support
  • View the summary of blocks, epochs and addresses
  • Tools such as datum and address inspector
  • Track tokens, and contract transactions, view policy scripts
  • Track different types of transactions such as pool registration, de-registrations and much more

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Cardanoscan streamlines admission into the Cardano ecosystem by providing a dependable and feature-rich interface, attracting new projects and fostering innovation. It enables both novice and professional developers to track their transactions and successfully interact with the network. The happening inclusion of new features based on community feedback expands the platform's appeal and contributes to the Cardano ecosystem's growth.

Furthermore, the availability of Cardanoscan on preview and pre-prod testnets has been critical in assisting developers with their Cardano platform project development efforts. Cardanoscan has encouraged the construction of creative projects and nurtured a healthy developer community within the Cardano ecosystem by providing access to key network information and tools. The inclusion of these testnets in Cardanoscan's offerings has been critical in increasing acceptance and adding to the Cardano blockchain's overall development and success.

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

We propose to assess the project's performance by analysing Cardanoscan's long-term availability and dependability over the next 6 months. A critical metric would be the website's uptime, which ensures that it is accessible to the community without substantial interruptions. In addition, we will be collecting feedback from users and determining levels of satisfaction and the continuous use of Cardanoscan as a key resource within the Cardano ecosystem. We can consider our project successful if we maintain a durable and reliable site that successfully satisfies the needs of users and developers.

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We want to publish the project's outputs and results via Twitter, where we will make new announcements and updates about Cardanoscan's server support and advancements. Users will be able to submit feedback and suggestions by contacting us via the contact form on the Cardanoscan website.

Our project's main aim and result will be a live and accessible Cardanoscan site that will be available for the next 6 months and beyond. Cardanoscan will be a reliable resource within the Cardano ecosystem, providing users and developers with critical network information and tools.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

We have a proven track record of successfully completing projects while maintaining high levels of trust and accountability. Since the beginning of the Shelley period, our team has been actively participating in the Cardano ecosystem, and we have successfully constructed and maintained Cardanoscan, a widely used Cardano explorer.

In addition to Cardanoscan, we created Typhon, a highly recognised and user-friendly wallet that has received widespread acclaim from the Cardano community. This wallet is a direct result of our involvement in the Catalyst programme, which demonstrates our dedication to innovation and providing important community solutions.

We have also worked and delivered the Cardano ADA and native tokens integration within Ledger Live bring the mass userbase of Ledger to Cardano and providing a safe and secure custodial wallet solution to the community.

Furthermore, we have contributed to the Cardano ecosystem through a number of open-source libraries, which can be found on our GitHub repository (https://github.com/StricaHQ). These libraries represent our commitment to providing developers with dependable tools and resources that conform to high-quality and transparent requirements.

Our experience, knowledge, and favourable feedback from the community attest to our capacity to deliver projects with a strong emphasis on integrity and responsibility. We intend to respect these values during the course of our projected Cardanoscan Maintenance project.

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The primary goals of our project are to assure Cardanoscan's long-term availability and reliability. We want to be a reliable resource for users on essential Cardano networks including mainnet, pre-prod, and preview. Our goal is to keep Cardanoscan's user-friendly design and major functionality, while also catering to Cardano developers.

Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

This is a maintenance fund which will cover our server costs. We have divided the proposal funding into 2 milestones each representing a quarter of the year.

Q3 2023 Milestone 1

Q4 2023 Milestone 2

Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

The outcome of this proposal is the uptime guarantee of Cardanoscan explore in these turbulent times.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

The proposal covers the maintenance cost for 6 months as below,

1-month cost - 13,000 ADA

13,000 ADA x 6 month = 78,000 ADA

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Strica has been working on the Cardanoscan Explorer. Strica's individuals are made up of Cardano eco-system experts.

The Strica team brings together different roles to collaborate on Cardanoscan development, maintenance, and support. They collaborate to produce a robust and user-friendly Cardano explorer that satisfies the expectations of the Cardano community.
