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.

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

We believe that the project cost of maintaining The Cardano Terminal platform, specialized in news and content from the Cardano ecosystem, is very low for the creation of such a project.

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

We will optimize news content and editorial production costs with direct integration with the news from the Cardano Feed website, which is already connected to more than 200 content sources being updated in real time with the provision of an integration API.

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