[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously launched in the market (whether by you or others).

Current Cardano tools focus on native development and do not provide a practical pathway for Ethereum developers.

Migration today requires manual rewriting, fragmented resources, and long onboarding times.

Our enhanced hub introduces:

• AI-assisted Solidity → Plutus/Aiken code conversion
• A live Cardano testnet simulator with ETH-like previews
• A real-time migration chatbot for troubleshooting and best practices
• Structured, interactive tutorials with progress tracking
• An expanded on-chain dictionary updated through community feedback
• This turns ETH-to-ADA migration from a multi-week process into a guided, hands-on experience

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

The MVP, accessible via https://eth2ada.com, will include:

1. Automated Code Converter

Upload Solidity, receive Plutus/Aiken equivalents with explanations and change highlights

1. Interactive Tutorials

Modules such as “Migrate Your First DEX” with code editors, hints, and completion badges

1. Testnet Deployment Simulator

Side-by-side ETH vs ADA execution previews with wallet mockups and gas comparison

1. Migration Assistant Chatbot

Answers technical questions and provides migration examples using indexed documentation

1. Resource Vault

An expanded dictionary with multilingual support and visual references

A public demo video, live site, and GitHub access will accompany the MVP

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

User Metrics:

1,000+ unique users

500+ active community members

200+ tutorial completions

Engagement:

70%+ returning users

15+ minute average session duration

NPS score of 8 or higher

On-Chain Metrics:

50+ Plutus scripts deployed via the simulator

Testnet transaction increases tied to user-specific metadata

100+ cross-chain swaps from tutorial graduates

Development Activity:

50+ GitHub stars/forks

10+ community pull requests merged

A public analytics dashboard will display all metrics

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

The enhanced hub solves migration barriers through four key features:

1. Code Translation

Fine-tuned models convert Solidity into Plutus/Aiken, reducing rewriting time by 70%

1. Tutorials and Simulations

A structured learning flow guides developers from basic examples to full dApp migrations

1. Smart Support Chatbot

Contextual help sourced from the dictionary and documentation keeps users unblocked

1. Knowledge Vault

A constantly evolving reference space for ETH-to-ADA terminology and patterns

This comprehensive ecosystem accelerates real migrations and helps developers confidently build on Cardano

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

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

• Onboards 1,000+ ETH developers annually

• Enables dozens of migrated dApps and new prototypes

• Boosts testnet/mainnet activity

• Strengthens Cardano’s position as a developer-friendly, interoperable chain

• Supports global community growth through multilingual tool

• Opens opportunities for new employment, consulting, and ecosystem services

• The result is a healthier, more innovative Cardano environment with increased real-world building

[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 has successfully delivered two funded Catalyst projects (F9, F11), including the existing AI Developer Hub and on-chain dictionary. We operate transparently with open GitHub commits and frequent community updates.

Feasibility will be validated through:

• Alpha/beta testing with real ETH and Cardano developers

• Accuracy benchmarks for code translatio

• Monthly reporting and milestone-based progress checks

• If results fall below expectations, the team will adapt features based on community feedback
