[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Today, the cardano community is growing,so the demand for mining and information retrieval on the blockchain is increasing. There have been some API service providers for the community, but due to the high demand. The current access is quite slow and insufficient. Realizing the importance of this development, we decided to build and develop an API system based on our cardano node and DB synchronization system.

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

Benefits for the Cardano ecosystem:

• Developers can focus on developing trading features, swaps, or creating their own project's APIs and SDKs.
• Developers can focus on app development without worrying about building node infrastructure to access data as our APIs are readily available.
• Providing APIs for community use will give developers more options to interact with the Cardano blockchain.
• Developers and businesses have comprehensive and customizable tools to build their blockchain applications.
• By building APIs, we will contribute to expanding the Cardano user community.

[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?

Our DCOne Crypto team:

We've been operating for over 2 years. Our product is continuously upgraded at: https://dconecrypto.finance/

With an experienced team and partnerships with several major Cardano projects such as Koios, Lace, Hunter, etc., we are actively building strong connections with both the community and developers within the Cardano ecosystem.

With a practical, highly applicable product and strong support, we are contributing to the development of the Cardano ecosystem.

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

The cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem by:

• Enhancing developer productivity: Developers can save time and effort by leveraging the pre-built components and functionalities offered by the API system. This increased productivity translates into cost savings for developers and organizations building applications on Cardano.
• Less burden on developers: By using our APIs, developers can focus on building great features for their apps instead of starting from scratch. This helps application development projects to be completed quickly. Businesses can then take advantage of market opportunities faster, increasing revenue and return on investment.
• Leverage the existing system: By using our API system, developers can take advantage of Cardano's robust and secure blockchain infrastructure without costly investments or maintenance costs continuously.
• Drive ecosystem growth and innovation: Our API system is open source, so developers are free to build and contribute together. This helps to expand use cases, engage broader users, and bring more value to the growth of the Cardano ecosystem.

These benefits contribute to the overall value and success of Cardano as a blockchain platform.
