[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

We present article presents the application Friendly Hydra Explorer, which can be appropriately used by the developers working on the Cardano and Hydra platforms. Users can perform such important actions like remembering the head, commits, states of head as well as snapshots and make transactions on Hydra easily.

Core of the Problem

While developing or using Hydra, numerous users encounter issues with keeping track of Hydra transactions and the states of its head. Moreover, at the moment, there is no application that can keep the lifecycle of snapshots on Hydra. The default core explorer interface provided with Core Hydra by IOG is too complicated and lacks the explanatory information needed for the operational activities such as init, commit, close and fanout leading to troublesome execution of these activities. This can hamper the ability of new developers to adopt the Hydra technology.

How We Solve the Problem

The option we have taken is to create an application with a clean and appealing interface which will make it easy for the users to find and manage order transactions. If features head searching and committing as well as snapshots which enables the alteration and retrieval of the transactional history of the users are included, then mastering the information on Hydra will be fast which will in turn improve the productivity of the work.

Life Users With The Tool

Friendly Hydra Explorer will target developers and investors as well as end user use. Anyone in search of sufficient functionality for working with the Hydra EC will find them here.

以下は、CardanoとHydraプラットフォームで作業する開発者が適切に使用できる「Friendly Hydra Explorer」のアプリケーションについて紹介する記事です。ユーザーは、ヘッドの記憶、コミット、ヘッドの状態、スナップショットの管理や、Hydra上でのトランザクションの実行を簡単に行うことができます。

問題の核心

Hydraを開発または使用する際、多くのユーザーがHydraトランザクションやヘッドの状態を追跡する際に問題に直面します。さらに、現在、Hydra上でスナップショットのライフサイクルを管理できるアプリケーションが存在しません。IOGによって提供されるCore Hydraのデフォルトのエクスプローラーインターフェースは、あまりにも複雑で、init、commit、close、fanoutなどの操作活動に必要な説明情報が不足しており、これらの操作がスムーズに実行できないことがあります。これにより、新しい開発者がHydra技術を採用する能力が阻害される可能性があります。

問題の解決方法

私たちが選択した解決策は、ユーザーがトランザクションを簡単に管理できるように、洗練されて魅力的なインターフェースを備えたアプリケーションを作成することです。ヘッドの検索やコミット、スナップショットの機能が含まれており、ユーザーのトランザクション履歴の変更や取得を容易にすることで、Hydraに関する情報の習得が迅速になり、作業の生産性が向上します。

ツールの利用者

Friendly Hydra Explorerは、開発者、投資家、そしてエンドユーザーを対象としています。Hydra ECを利用するために十分な機能を求めるすべての人にとって、このアプリケーションはそのニーズを満たすでしょう。

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

Once we complete our idea, it will help developers easily engage with the Hydra blockchain. The new Hydra applications were built in a short time with high precision, contributing to the Cardano ecosystem by fostering the development of more high-quality applications.

To demonstrate our responsibility to the community We will ensure transparency through user growth analytics reports

[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?

Team Constructing Experience

Our team comprises developers with excellent skills and hands-on experience in blockchain technology, particularly within the Cardano ecosystem. We have previously undertaken similarly complex projects and successfully completed them, demonstrating our ability to manage complex requirements

Profound Knowledge of Cardano and Hydra

We tracked the growth of Cardano and the Hydra protocol from an early stage. This gives us strong advantages that help us advance and overcome potential obstacles.

Professional Project Management Practices

We practice strong project management techniques, placing the focus on transparency, accountability as well as regular communication. Our structured way of managing projects enables us to deliver on schedule, within cost and uphold very high levels of quality throughout the project life cycle.

Quality Management Procedure

Our quality control procedures are quite strict as everywhere we have checking and auditing practices. This commitment to quality allows us to provide reliable, safe solutions, which is particularly important for blockchain projects.

Stronger Community Engagement

We actively engage the Cardano community and their stakeholders to collect feedback
