Support Cardanoscan.io with Funds

Cardano needs to have tools available for the growing users and developers who are the building blocks of this new economy. We have built Cardanoscan to allow users to query each and every piece of the information on the Cardano blockchain which includes all types of certificates, withdrawals, reward balances, withdrawn reward balances, stake key history, pools, and all other connecting data pieces on the network.

1. Cardanoscan has a custom-built core, thus providing data that is not available in the official explorer as well.

2. Cardanoscan is the most useful explorer for users and also for the core Cardano developers.

3. Because of its rich feature set, Cardanoscan has become the choice of explorer for Yoroi and AdaLite.

**Cardanoscan is the most feature-rich explorer available**

There are features on the platform that is unique and only available on Cardanoscan, eg

1. Query Stake Key

1a. Controlled Stake

1b. Stake key registration status

1c. Delegation status

1d. View all addresses associated with stake key

1e. its history eg. registration/deregistration, delegation, all with respective transactions

2. Withdrawl transactions - view output address

3. Query and view all types of certificates as part of a transaction (We need to include MIR certs in next releases)

4. Pool de registration certificates and timeline

5. Advanced Pool details page, compared to any explorer currently available

**COST**

1. Cloud hosting (Mainnet)

2. Cloud hosting (Testnet)

3. Hire product manager to help shape Cardanoscan and serve community requests with diligence

3. Hire fulltime developers on contract for the next 12 months - I estimate that we can self sustain after that or get more funding

**SCOPE**

1. Implement transaction metadata and voting explorer

2. Implement graphs and statistics

3. Implement developer section with APIs - eg. Address balance, Transactions, Blocks, Pool stats, Reward balance, and more

4. Implement Exchange address mapping (eg. Etherscan's feature to identify exchange addresses)

5. Build smart contract support and verification

6. Run a testnet version of Cardanoscan

7. Live transaction and blocks update (WebSockets)

8. Cardanoscanbot telegram bot feature to subscribe to addresses to receive balance updates and more updates

9. Multi-language support

10. A lot more enhancements on the explorer, community feature requests, updates, and maintenance

**RISK**

A custom-built core of the project and backend is developed by me(Stitch), the project does not have any critical dependency on any developer as the frontend work can be knowledge transferred to a new developer easily.

In case of an unpredictable life emergency, I will decide to transfer the ownership of the project to a capable team or the existing CF bound entity.

**IP/Copyright**

All IP and licensing will remain vested with me. The outcome of this proposal will be a service for the community.

**PROVENANCE**
