[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We are developing a Wallet Health & Portfolio Risk Analyzer that offers users detailed insights into their portfolio's health, liquidity, and exposure to high-risk or volatile assets. The tool evaluates asset allocation and identifies potential vulnerabilities, such as overexposure to specific tokens or risky DeFi protocols. By providing an overall analysis and comprehensive breakdown, users can manage risk more effectively, allowing for data-driven decision-making.

Our approach focuses on helping Cardano users optimize their portfolios by giving them actionable insights. This solution is unique because it consolidates multiple metrics into one easy-to-use platform, benefiting traders, investors, and anyone seeking to better understand their portfolio's risk profile. Ultimately, this empowers users to take control of their financial strategies, improving both individual and ecosystem-wide financial stability.

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

The Wallet Health & Portfolio Risk Analyzer will empower Cardano users by giving them essential insights into their portfolio’s risk profile and overall health. By tracking asset allocation, liquidity, and exposure to high-risk tokens, users can better manage their investments and reduce excessive risk. This will increase user confidence and decision-making, fostering a more informed and engaged Cardano investment community.

We will measure impact through user adoption rates, feature engagement, and feedback collected from the community. Results and key insights will be shared via TapTools’ communication channels, including social media, newsletters, and Cardano-focused forums, to keep the community informed of the tool’s success and improvements.

[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 a proven track record of delivering high-quality, data-driven tools in the Cardano ecosystem, demonstrated by the success of TapTools. With extensive experience in data aggregation, analytics, and developing intuitive user interfaces, we are well-equipped to build the Wallet Health & Portfolio Risk Analyzer. To validate feasibility, we will conduct testing at each stage of development and ensure community feedback is incorporated where relevant.

We have a history of managing funds responsibly and delivering projects on time. Our established processes for transparency, budget tracking, and reporting further demonstrate our commitment to trust and accountability in executing this project.
