[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

We want to create a unified platform for users of the Cardano community to access public and detailed CIP-1694 DReps information, with a personalized and user-friendly area, integrated within the Cardano Feed portal, which has thousands of hits monthly, providing content, news and all voting history representing your delegators.

We believe that transparency will bring a lot of credibility, strength and alignment with the decision making of the CIP-1694 Decentralized Representatives (DReps).

With a collaborative platform, community users will be able to do in-depth research on their representatives, regarding their positioning, thinking model and how actions are taken.

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

Features and Profile Page:

• DRep ID

• Voting record

• Cardano $ADA delegated + wallets

• Ways to connect to DRep

• Segments of expertise

• Spoken languages

• Search function to filter DReps as per the users preferences.

• DReps social platforms, blogs, Youtube, social medias.

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

Success for this project can be defined:

• Real-time generated information for site users

• Number of DReps listed on the platform

• Number of registered users/profiles

• Number of shares on specialized media sites and social networks

• Validation of feedback and platform improvements

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

• We will also provide a panel to be disseminated within Cardano Feed, with the evolution of the project according to the Catalyst KPIs

• Number of hits to the website: 50,000

Lucas Fernandes - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-fernandes-silva/

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

Manage workload:

We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

We believe that the value of the project is very affordable to be implemented in the Cardano ecosystem community, a platform DReps Transparency, Community Governance & Directory Site.

We will have no cost to publicize the DReps within the Cardano Feed website, generating a lot of traffic to the platform.

We will use a lot of technology, integrations via API/Webservice to keep the investment in the project always as optimized as possible.
