[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We are solving the challenge of accessing and analyzing data within the Cardano ecosystem by building an LLM-powered analytics platform. The platform will allow users to interact with on-chain data using natural language queries rather than requiring technical expertise or learning complex ontologies. Users will be able to easily compose custom dashboards, empowering both technical and non-technical participants to gain real-time insights from Cardano data.

The integration of an LLM provides users with the flexibility to ask questions about the network in simple terms. For example, a user could ask:

• “What were the largest ADA transactions in the last 24 hours?”

• “How many wallets hold over 200,000 ADA?”

• “Plot a bar chart showing monthly smart contract deployments in the last year.”

Our approach involves not only improving data accessibility but also streamlining the decision-making process for developers, researchers, and community members by offering API support, visualization tools, and an open-source knowledge base.

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

By simplifying access to Cardano’s on-chain data, our platform will democratize blockchain analytics, reducing technical barriers. This will broaden participation in the Cardano ecosystem, enabling better decision-making for a wider range of users, from developers to ADA holders and governance participants.

We will track impact using metrics like user engagement, number of active users, and the frequency of platform queries to demonstrate the project’s success.

[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 team has extensive experience in blockchain technology, data analytics, and AI. We have projects like Polkadot Analytics Platform and Internet Computer Analytics Platform (ICAP), funded by the Web3 and DFINITY Foundations.

Our use of LLM, combined with our background in ontology development and data extraction techniques that we have experience as former IBMers, makes our approach both feasible and innovative. We are confident in our ability to deliver the project successfully due to our track record in similar projects.
