[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.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
