[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We want to build a new front end on react tailwind nextjs.

This new front end will be onboard with the best crypto products on the market. This new front end will enable among other things:

• Enable all community members equally to use Xerberus (even those who have no desktop PC at home)
• Login with mobile wallets such as VESPER
• Make it easier for all community members to use and understand our risk metrics
• Set alerts for specific tokens and risk events from mobile and desktop

This solution is important for Cardano because it enables broader adoption of risk management and extends to all Cardano community members, creating a more inclusive community.

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

Xerberus is being built to protect the community. Only serving community members with desktop PCs is a grave shortcoming because it excludes especially those holders with smaller investment amounts who are at higher risk of losing a substantial amount of their savings. Adding full mobile support, making it easier to understand, and allowing real-time alerts will empower a more inclusive 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?

Xerberus, as a core product, is already built and loved.

Xerberus products are integrated in vast variety of Dapps in our ecosystem, such as:

• AXO (Link to Partnership)
• USDM (Link to Partnership)
• Metera (Link to Partnership)
• Gero Wallet (Link to Partnership)
• Cerra (Link to Partnership)

Xerberus Labs LTD itself is a registered company in City of London.

• Address: Level 30, Leadenhall Building, 122 Leadenhall Street, London, United Kingdom, EC3V 4AB
• Company Number: 14966821
• VAT: 459 5177 51

Not only are we registered in a prime legal jurisdiction, but we also publish our annual reports and are recognized under government schemes such as the UK Enterprise Investment Scheme. We take compliance extremely seriously and are a vital part of the Cardano ecosystem.
