Data driven Cardano services

Our platform solves these problems through data-driven analysis and decision making by providing intelligent services and tools.

9 years of professional experience in software engineering and administration of database systems. Focus: databases and performance analysis

ada-data.eu is a data-driven Cardano focused service platform mainly for newbies, delegators, sympathizers, and stake pool operators.
Motivation:
As a small stake pool operator, I notice daily via social media / reddit and the Cardano forum how people new to Cardano are simply overwhelmed by all the technical terms and guides related to Cardano:

• How do I create a Cardano wallet?
• What is staking?
• Which pool should I choose?
• When do I get my rewards and how much are they?
• What is … ???

Many stake pool operators and other helpful community members respond to all these questions very competently and courteously.

As a developer and administrator, I love to automate things. In addition, I have been dealing with data for a long time and both things go very well together: data-driven automation / decision-making!

Solutions:

The following services are currently being developed or are being planned:

NLP-driven stake pool selection:

• Natural language processing driven selection of a pool will provide you with a guided process (multiple questions) to find the pool(s) that best fit(s) you based on your answers to these questions.
• The selection becomes considerably simpler, more precise and personalized with each answered question.

Notification service:

• Cardano Delegator Notification Service (CDNS) WebApp/API asks for tracking pool changes like saturation, retirement, fee changes, etc.
• CDNS-API sends an email to the delegators, when one of the attributes(saturation, retirement, fee changes) changes
• Delegators enter an email address to receive notifications over WebApp, Daedalus, Yoroi, other apps -> API will be provided for integration. Daedalus is open to integration into the application. Here is my feature request: https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus/issues/2488

WISE Ada Lovelace Bot:

• aka "Ada bot" will answer your question about the Cardano ecosystem

Analytic platform:

• Data platform for statistical analysis of Cardano data
• Built-in custom reporting for own reports -> with dashboards, embedding and sharing
• Design custom charts with drag and drop actions/controls

Developer API:

• We want to provide an API for all our services and data
• You will be able to integrate our services to your applications

Other ideas and services will follow. I am ao open for any suggestions!

Timeline:

https://ada-data.eu/#story

• Q1 - Founding (done):

• Listen to community problems
• Building ideas
• Forming first prototypes and website

• Q2 - Infrastructure/Beta Services (in progress):

• Setup server infrastructure

Budget planning for next 6 months (approximately):

• Infrastructure costs:

• Website/domain: 5$/month= 30$ for 6 months
• Data server: 150$/month = 900$ (https://www.ionos.de/server-configurator?__sendingdata=1&cart.action=add-bundle&cart.bundle=tariff-bmc-xl-64-nvme-bundle&packageselection=server%2Fintel-server)

• Development costs:

• Developer(me): 120 days * 4 hours * 80$/hour = 38.400$

Total: 39.330$ for 6 months
