[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).

AdaPulse is innovative because it unifies wallet monitoring, DeFi stats, NFT tracking, and airdrop alerts into one lightweight Telegram bot. Unlike existing dashboards or bots limited to single features, AdaPulse delivers real-time alerts and a simple chat-based UX, lowering entry barriers and driving adoption.

Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.

The MVP will demonstrate multi-wallet monitoring, token balance, deposit/withdraw alerts, and airdrop detection. Users can access it directly via Telegram bot with no extra setup. Public GitHub repo and demo videos will showcase core features and allow early community testing.

Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.

• 1,000+ wallets added in first 3 months

•	500+ alerts triggered (tx, APR, NFT)

•	200+ unique active users

•	Open-source repo with contributions

•	Increased on-chain activity (tx counts, NFT trades, DeFi pool interactions) traceable via Cardano explorers.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

AdaPulse provides a lightweight Telegram bot that unifies wallet monitoring, DeFi tracking, NFT alerts, and airdrop detection into one simple chat interface. Users can add multiple wallets, check balances, tokens, and NFTs, and set custom rules for alerts. The bot delivers real-time notifications on deposits, withdrawals, APR changes, floor price movements, and suspicious new assets. Built on APIs (Blockfrost, Maestro, TapTools) with Telegraf.js backend, it ensures instant, reliable updates. Unlike complex dashboards, AdaPulse lowers the barrier for everyday users by providing Cardano portfolio management directly in Telegram.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

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

AdaPulse directly improves the Cardano user experience by making DeFi and NFT participation easier, more transparent, and safer. By offering real-time alerts, users can respond quickly to market changes, avoid missing opportunities, and increase engagement with pools and marketplaces. For newcomers, a Telegram-native interface provides a familiar entry point, reducing onboarding friction. In the long run, this strengthens community growth, stimulates on-chain activity, and fosters higher adoption rates across Cardano DeFi and NFT ecosystems.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & 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 combines expertise in backend development, API integration, smart contract queries, bot building, and UX design. We have prior experience building bots and data pipelines with Node.js, Telegraf.js, and Blockfrost/Maestro APIs, ensuring technical feasibility. The project will be delivered transparently with milestones, public GitHub repos, and open documentation. Progress will be validated through working prototypes, community testing, and measurable KPIs such as active wallets, triggered alerts, and user adoption stats. This approach ensures trust, accountability, and realistic delivery within 6 months.

NFT & DeFi Tracking

Milestone Outputs

This milestone delivers the full NFT and DeFi tracking layer for AdaPulse. On the NFT side, we will integrate collection-level data from public Cardano endpoints (e.g., TapTools/OpenCNFT equivalents) to fetch floor price, 24h/7d volume, sales count, and top sales by policy ID. Users can subscribe to collections and configure rule-based alerts such as “floor ±X%”, “volume spikes”, or “whale sales above Y ADA.” We’ll add caching (Redis) and backoff to respect API rate limits, plus a lightweight history store (Postgres) to compute deltas reliably. On the DeFi side, we will consume price/APR feeds from at least two DEXes (e.g., Minswap, WingRiders) and/or oracle endpoints to track pool APR, TVL changes, and liquidity shifts. Users can set alerts like “APR drops below X%” or “TVL −Y% in Z minutes.” Telegram UX includes commands for /add_collection, /remove, /list_rules, /set_apr_alert, and an inline summary card showing the latest floor/APR snapshot. We’ll ship unit tests for alert evaluation, error handling for stale data, and clear docs so the community can extend new collections or pools.

Acceptance Criteria

• Bot supports ≥5 NFT collections (each identified by policy ID) with live floor, volume, and sales metrics; data refresh ≤60s for watched items.

•	DeFi integration covers ≥2 DEX pool sources; APR and TVL are updated continuously with alert latency ≤60s from change detection.

•	Users can create ≥3 rule types per feature (NFT: floor %, volume spike, whale sale; DeFi: APR threshold, TVL % drop, liquidity change) and manage them via Telegram commands.

•	The alert engine correctly evaluates rules with ≥95% precision on back-tested scenarios and handles ≥200 active wallets/subscriptions with uptime ≥99% over a rolling 7-day test.

•	Redis caching and retry/backoff prevent rate-limit bans; no critical errors recorded in logs during a 48-hour soak test.

•	Documentation covers setup, commands, rule syntax, and how to add a new collection/pool via config or PR.

Evidence of Completion

• Public GitHub repo updated with NFT/DeFi modules, alert engine code, configuration examples, and automated tests (coverage report included).

•	Runbook & README detailing environment variables, API keys, rate-limit policy, and command list (/add_collection, /set_apr_alert, /list_rules, etc.).

•	Demo video showing: subscribing to a collection and a pool → triggering floor/APR changes (via mocked feeders) → receiving Telegram alerts in real time.

•	Test artifacts: logs from a 48-hour soak test (uptime, latency, error rates), sample Redis/DB snapshots demonstrating cached metrics and rule states, and a back-test report confirming ≥95% alert precision on recorded market movements.

•	Community validation: at least 20 external testers invited to a closed test group; feedback summary documented as an issue thread with tracked fixes.
