[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

By producing well-written articles about the ecosystem, we aim to give Cardano greater visibility and also combat incorrect information that we often see on traditional crypto portals.

In addition, we will promote the technological advances of the Cardano blockchain, the news from the community and what the expectations are for the future.

We believe that by doing so we will bring deeper and more accurate knowledge for the best use by readers and people who follow Cardano.

We hope that this knowledge will also bring greater visibility to the global crypto ecosystem, making it more attractive to investors and international players, with direct involvement from the community and analysis from technical experts on the subject.

We want to combat the lack of knowledge, disclose dubious information and correct misunderstandings that we often see on some crypto news sites.

We are a 3+ year old platform Cardano Feed (www.cardanofeed.com) with a strong following within the Cardano ecosystem, bringing a lot of visibility, exposure and user traffic. Our content is already widely accessed and indexed on Google, generating organic traffic via SEO of articles published on the platform, ensuring the greatest reach in the publications of articles.

SHARE ON X (Twitter): 84,300+ followers

We have over 84,300+ followers on X (Twitter), and we will also publish all articles on the social network, ensuring greater reach and distribution of the content.

SEND IN NEWSLETTER: 2,500 users

The articles will also be sent in our weekly Newsletter to our subscribed reader base of approximately 2,500 users (Cardano Digest Newsletter).

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

We believe that information, news and updates (plus education) will always be the best ways to keep users always informed and aware of what is happening in the Cardano ecosystem. Produce and deliver high-quality content featuring key people and projects developed within the Cardano blockchain ecosystem.

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs. Since then, my main purpose has become to create, share and connect experiences and knowledge with people around the world, offering new opportunities to develop the skills they will need for the professions of the future, today.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

Manage workload:

We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.
