Cardano users currently lack a unified, user-friendly dashboard that combines advanced analytics, AI-powered tools, and wallet portfolio tracking, leaving insights fragmented and difficult to access.
We will build a user-friendly hub at bending.ai with AI-Insights, wallet association, and DeFi protocol performance tracking to make Cardano data clear and actionable.
This is the total amount allocated to BendingAI – Advanced Cardano DeFi & Wallet Analytics.

Analytics
Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).
Our approach is innovative because it consolidates advanced DeFi analytics, wallet tracking, and portfolio insights into one unified, user-friendly dashboard. Unlike existing tools that provide fragmented or protocol-specific data, BendingAI focuses on cross-protocol analytics with features such as historical balance tracking, wallet association insights, and AI-driven signals. This ensures users can see not just raw data, but also contextual insights like portfolio health, protocol revenue performance, and risk indicators, making it easier to act on information.
Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.
The MVP will be accessible via bending.ai, our live website. It will demonstrate:
A portfolio dashboard with historical balance tracking.
Advanced analytics for staking, lending, and DeFi protocol performance.
User-friendly visualizations and metrics without requiring technical setup.
This public dashboard ensures that both casual users and advanced traders can immediately benefit from transparent and actionable Cardano data.
Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.
We will measure success using clear, verifiable, and on-chain metrics:
User adoption: Active monthly users accessing the dashboard.
Engagement: Average session duration and number of tracked wallets.
Coverage: Number of integrated DeFi protocols with analytics (staking, lending, trading).
On-chain validation: Accuracy of reported staking/lending positions against blockchain data.
Community feedback: Positive adoption by Cardano users and mentions across Cardano community channels.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Cardano currently lacks a unified, user-friendly platform that provides deep insights into DeFi activities, wallet performance, and protocol health. While data exists across multiple sources, it is fragmented, difficult to access, and not designed for non-technical users.
BendingAI solves this by delivering a comprehensive analytics dashboard at bending.ai, already live with staking and lending metrics. This project will expand functionality to include:
Trading activity tracking – real-time monitoring of swaps and liquidity movements.
Wallet association analytics – clustering and linking of related wallets for richer insights.
AI-powered insights – smart recommendations, anomaly detection, and performance analysis.
DeFi protocol revenue & performance tracking – measuring usage, TVL, yield, and sustainability of Cardano’s major protocols.
This dashboard is designed to be public, free-to-access, and beginner-friendly, ensuring that developers, researchers, and everyday community members benefit from reliable, consolidated data.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
The project will significantly strengthen transparency and accessibility in the Cardano ecosystem:
For users: Empower individuals to track their tokens, DeFi positions, and trading activities with advanced yet intuitive tools.
For developers: Provide performance benchmarks and ecosystem health insights to support better product decisions.
For the community: Improve trust and visibility into Cardano’s DeFi economy by tracking revenue, protocol growth, and wallet activity.
For governance: Enable data-driven proposals and community discussions with verified analytics.
By offering AI-enhanced analytics and wallet association features, the project will unlock patterns not previously visible, reducing fragmentation and fostering adoption of Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem.
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?
The BendingAI platform is already live at bending.ai, demonstrating proven technical ability and delivery. Current modules cover staking and lending metrics, giving us a strong foundation to expand into trading, protocol tracking, and AI insights.
The team includes experienced engineers and a technical lead with deep expertise in blockchain data, analytics infrastructure, and scalable web development. Development will follow milestone-based releases, ensuring transparency, accountability, and measurable progress.
Feasibility is validated by:
Working live site already accessible to the public.
Clear roadmap with focused milestones (dashboard modules).
Experienced team with prior delivery in DeFi analytics.
Milestone Title
Milestone 1 – Core Dashboard Expansion
Milestone Outputs
We will expand the existing dashboard at bending.ai by introducing trading activity tracking and historical balance analytics. Users will be able to monitor token swaps, liquidity movements, and trading volumes across major DeFi activities. The portfolio module will be upgraded to include historical balance tracking, showing how wallet holdings evolve over time (balances, staking rewards, delegation, and token movements).
Acceptance Criteria
Trading activity dashboard live with real-time swaps and liquidity tracking.
Historical balance charts visible for user wallets and tokens.
Portfolio module enhanced to display balance changes over time.
Dashboard fully accessible to the public at bending.ai.
Evidence of Completion
Public dashboard updated with trading and historical balance features.
Screenshots and demo video showing trading metrics and portfolio history.
Confirmation from at least 5 community users validating functionality.
