[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).

Our approach is innovative because it combines natural-language querying with deterministic oracle execution. Current oracles require highly technical, parameterized inputs, which limits accessibility and slows development. Our system uses Large Language Models to interpret user intent, but grounds all LLM output through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that supply verified tools and data schemas. This prevents hallucinations, ensures consistent and structured data calls, and creates a layered interface between the user and the oracle. This architecture preserves the flexibility of AI while maintaining reliability and determinism in on-chain data delivery.

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

We already have a functioning prototype that demonstrates the end-to-end flow of natural-language oracle queries into deterministic, structured data calls. With it, a developer can ask a question such as “What is the current price of ADA in USD?” and the system reliably translates that intent into a verified, schema-constrained MCP request that returns accurate market data.

This proof-of-concept includes operational MCP servers for financial data, verifiable randomness, and blockchain state operations, each tested against real infrastructure. LLM interpretation is fully integrated into the workflow, grounded by tools and data sources that prevent hallucination and ensure deterministic execution.

This project will expand those capabilities, harden performance, and deploy the complete system to Cardano PreProd Testnet — providing ready-to-use smart-contract interfaces and full developer documentation.

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

Our meassures of success depend mostly on our MCP server's ability to appropriately reformulate the user's query into a well-structured format with relevant parameters for the data source to return accurate data and in the smart contract format. Therefore, we focus on number off queries processed and the accuracy of those processed queries.

1. Number of successful natural language queries processed
2. System must correctly parse (to 80% accuracy threshold) common natural language queries.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

The solution is an oracle architecture built around MCP servers that translate natural-language queries into validated and deterministic data calls. Users interact with the system by asking questions in plain language, and the LLM interprets the request. MCP servers then constrain the interpretation to verified tools and schemas, producing a structured query that can be executed deterministically by the oracle network. This addresses the complexity of existing oracles by reducing the technical burden on users, while ensuring that final on-chain data is accurate and tamper-resistant. The system is designed specifically for Cardano and supports Plutus smart contracts with reliable data feeds.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

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

This project improves the Cardano ecosystem by making oracle access more intuitive and more reliable at the same time. Developers no longer need to understand proprietary query formats or complex API structures, lowering the barrier to entry and enabling faster application development. At the same time, the use of MCP servers ensures that LLM-interpreted queries remain grounded in deterministic, verifiable data sources, avoiding hallucinations and preserving the correctness of on-chain information. Together, this increases developer productivity, broadens ecosystem participation, and supports more advanced use cases such as DeFi, prediction markets, and data-driven smart contracts.

[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?

Wolfram Blockchain Labs has extensive experience in both AI/ML technologies and blockchain integrations. Our team has successfully deployed multiple Cardano-focused projects and maintains deep expertise in oracle systems and smart contract development. We have already developed a working prototype of the natural language parsing layer and MCP server architecture. The project builds incrementally on proven components: MCP protocol implementation, LLM integration, and Cardano smart contract deployment. Each milestone represents a discrete, achievable component that builds toward the complete system. Our existing infrastructure and partnerships with data providers like Wolfram|Alpha ensure we have access to reliable data feeds. The technical risk is mitigated by our phased approach and the team's proven track record in delivering complex blockchain solutions.

Milestone Title

Cardano Smart Contract & Oracle Infrastructure

Milestone Outputs

The most important output from this milestone is the Plutus smart contracts template for oracle data settlement. This means that the template for converting the data source response into the relevant smart contract type is completed. This may include an on-chain verification system, and will include an integration layer between MCP servers and Cardano blockchain.

Acceptance Criteria

Smart contracts must correctly settle oracle data on-chain with proper verification. Integration layer must reliably pass data from MCP servers to blockchain. System must pass security review with no critical vulnerabilities.

Evidence of Completion

Deployed contracts in PreProd testnet and demonstration showing end-to-end data flow from natural language query to on-chain settlement.

Milestone Title

Integration & Testing

Milestone Outputs

The main output for this milestone is to complete the MCP server architecture that is both deployed and integrated with the blockchain layer. The first milestone must connect with the second milestone. This third milestone is about testing of the integrated workflow between the deployed archictecture and blockchain layer. This may include a security audit if we can fit it in the budget.

Acceptance Criteria

Our most relevant criteria for acceptance is that we can prove the information requested from the oracle query comes from the correct server. The system must correctly parse (to 80% threshold) common natural language queries.

Evidence of Completion

The way we'll demonstrate completion of testing and integration is to have testing results showing our oracle query success rates (accuracy/total queries) and a video recording demonstration of the complete end to end workflow.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

This project delivers exceptional value for money by combining a highly efficient development model with over a decade of pre-existing Wolfram infrastructure. Our team operates at a competitive developer rate of $65/hour, far below typical rates for advanced AI/ML, oracle engineering, or blockchain integration work. Because Wolfram Blockchain Labs has already built and production-tested core components—such as Wolfram|Alpha (developed over 15 years), established data ingestion pipelines, and existing MCP tools integrated with multiple LLMs—the project avoids large research costs and focuses instead on targeted engineering needed to bring this capability to Cardano. This reuse of mature, enterprise-grade technology significantly reduces both time and budget requirements.

The project leverages an existing, well-tested codebase rather than building an oracle stack from scratch, ensuring that each hour of development translates directly into functional improvements rather than foundational reinvention. The phased architecture—MCP servers, LLM interfaces, deterministic data settlement, and Plutus-ready outputs—optimizes development efficiency and de-risks delivery. Furthermore, the system provides ongoing ecosystem-wide benefits: lowering development costs for DApp teams, expanding the range of contracts that Cardano can support, and establishing a reusable data interface that future projects can adopt without additional cost.

By combining low-cost engineering with decades of Wolfram’s computational assets, this proposal produces a high-impact, scalable oracle infrastructure at a fraction of what comparable systems would require. The result is a cost-effective investment that strengthens Cardano’s technical foundation while offering long-term value that compounds across DeFi, governance, enterprise integrations, and AI-driven development.
