[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

The proposed solution is to allow users to register and sign-in right on the explorer. Allow users to add private labels for addresses to track them, add addresses to favourites to see them all together, and add notes to transactions for private references.

This feature is intended to provide users with more control and personalization over how they interact with and view addresses, and transactions. By labelling addresses, users can better categorize addresses based on their specific needs or organizational requirements. This could be useful for businesses, DAOs, or individual users who want to tag addresses for easier identification in future interactions.

Users can add private notes to transactions for future reference.

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

By enabling users to add custom labels addresses, and transactions we improve the utility and organization of Cardanoscan, making it easier for users to manage and recognize addresses within the ecosystem. This personalized labelling system will benefit individuals and organizations alike by helping them categorize and track addresses efficiently.

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] 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?

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, successfully developing and maintaining Cardanoscan, a widely used Cardano explorer (cardanoscan.io).

In addition to Cardanoscan, we created Typhon Wallet, a highly recognized and user-friendly wallet that has received widespread acclaim from the Cardano community (typhonwallet.io). This wallet is a direct result of our involvement in the Catalyst program, demonstrating our dedication to innovation and providing vital community solutions. Our team has successfully completed numerous proposals, achieving a 100% completion record, which underscores our commitment to delivering on our promises.

Moreover, we have delivered the integration of Cardano ADA, native tokens, and ADA staking within Ledger Live, which brings the mass user base of Ledger to Cardano, providing a safe and secure custodial wallet solution to the community.

We also contribute to the Cardano ecosystem through various open-source libraries, available on our GitHub repository (Strica GitHub). These libraries reflect our commitment to providing developers with reliable tools and resources that meet high-quality and transparent standards.

Our experience, knowledge, and positive feedback from the community attest to our ability to deliver projects with a strong emphasis on integrity and responsibility. We intend to uphold these values throughout the course of our implementation, ensuring that funds are managed properly and transparently.
