Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).
Trading platforms remain relatively underrepresented within the Cardano ecosystem. Our idea is to build a user-friendly and highly efficient trading platform that can be easily accessed and utilized by users of all experience levels.
Traditionally, leveraging advanced technical analysis tools required traders to possess significant knowledge and hands-on experience. With SeerBOT, we eliminate that barrier by providing a platform where tokens are pre-analyzed with calculated technical indicators, seamlessly integrated with an AI assistant.
Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.
Our MVP will be a web-based trading platform. The interface will display key token information, including price, volume, 24-hour change, and trading history. At its core, the platform will showcase technical analysis indicators for each token, such as RSI, ADX, and PSAR.
Naturally, the interface will also feature a built-in swap function and an AI Assistant, all seamlessly integrated into a single, unified interface. This design ensures that users have every essential tool at their fingertips, without the need to navigate across multiple platforms or tabs.
Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.
The key factors for evaluating our success will be clear, measurable metrics, including:
These are the practical metrics we have set to measure the success of our project in Fund14. And this is only the beginning. Once these goals are achieved, we will continue to expand and enhance the platform—introducing new innovations in trading for the Cardano ecosystem.
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
Cardano is one of the leading Layer 1 blockchains in the world. However, compared to other chains, its DEX trading volume remains relatively low. This is largely due to the lack of strong trading activity on Cardano. In other words, there is still a shortage of initiatives that actively encourage on-chain transactions.
To address this gap, we are building a trading platform designed to boost engagement within the ecosystem. With SeerBOT, we focus on technical analysis and AI-powered assistance to give users a clear and comprehensive view of the tokens available on Cardano. Our goal is to create a tool that is both powerful and accessible, something that anyone can use effectively, without needing to navigate complex or overly technical interfaces.
Our product will feature two main functions:
1.On-chain Swap with Technical Analysis
2. AI Assistant
By taking this approach, we aim to make trading on Cardano easier and more intuitive not just for ADA, but for the entire range of ecosystem tokens. In doing so, we hope to drive more on-chain activity, foster a more vibrant community, and contribute to Cardano’s overall growth and development.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
Our project will contribute to the growth of Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem by making trading more accessible, engaging, and data-driven for all users. By offering a user-friendly platform that combines technical analysis and AI assistance, we aim to empower traders, especially those who are new to Cardano to interact more confidently with ecosystem tokens beyond ADA.
Quantitative impact will be measured through increase in number of on-chain transactions related to ecosystem tokens, daily active users on the platform and the number of trades initiated through SeerBOT.
Qualitative impact will be measured through community feedback via surveys, Telegram discussions. Outputs will be shared through regular community updates via X (Twitter).
Through these efforts, we aim to support the Cardano community not only by improving trading tools, but also by strengthening network activity and making the ecosystem more attractive for both new and experienced users.
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?
We are a team shaped by years of experience across professional trading, blockchain architecture, and real world product development. We began our journey with Cardano in early 2025, starting with a main track win at the Cardano Vietnam Hackathon.
Several members have spent nearly a decade in financial markets, building and optimizing trading systems. Others have worked across the Web3 landscape, developing everything from smart contracts to scalable backend systems and data layers. Our design philosophy is rooted in precision, transparency, and a commitment to building tools that serve real users.
Each of us brings a distinct perspective. Some focus deeply on market structure and execution. Others obsess over user flows, security models, and on-chain performance. We share a belief that great products are not just about innovation, but about solving problems with clarity and intention. That belief keeps us grounded as we ship features that users actually use, while remaining agile in an evolving ecosystem.
Rather than chasing trends, we focus on staying close to the pain points of traders and strategy builders. Our goal is to create infrastructure that outlasts cycles, and to enable smarter, safer, and more automated trading in DeFi. Dexonic is not a concept. It is a platform already in motion, backed by deep experience and built for what is next.

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
Our project budget is designed to deliver strong value for the Cardano ecosystem. Every cost is tied to concrete outcomes, building a polished trading platform, launching swap and AI assistant features, and integrating advanced technical analysis tools. These deliverables will directly drive on-chain activity, with a target of 500+ transactions in the first month. We’re keeping spending lean, focusing resources on skilled developers, solid UI/UX, thorough testing, and active community engagement. This way, every dollar goes toward creating real adoption, strengthening Cardano’s DeFi presence, and building a product that can stand alongside the best in the industry. This targeted investment accelerates Cardano’s competitiveness against other chains while fostering long-term user growth.
Unlike many short-term DeFi experiments, our roadmap and cost structure are built for multi-year sustainability:
Proposed Cost Breakdown: 74,526 ADA ~ 59,620 USD (1 ADA ~ 0.8 USD)
In short, every dollar spent is an investment in infrastructure, security, and community that will outlast the initial funding cycle. We are not building a product to survive one fund — we are building a platform to thrive for years, bringing measurable value to Cardano in the form of active users, transaction volume, and a stronger developer ecosystem.
