How can we expand the Blockfrost ecosystem to drive the developer adoption on Cardano?
This is the total amount allocated to F9: Building (on) Blockfrost
Blockfrost is an instant, public and freely accessible API that removes infrastructure obstacles for developers so that everyone can start building (d)apps on Cardano. With Blockfrost, developers can start doing what they love ❤️, without the need for running and maintaining additional infrastructure and tooling themselves. At the moment, we have more than 10,000 developers already onboarded in our Blockfrost.io hosted platform.
We are also working on open-sourcing Blockfrost API backend, making it possible for the community to further build and provide the service.
This challenge is set to create a thriving developer ecosystem around Blockfrost, encouraging not only more developers to build on Blockfrost but also build the Blockfrost ecosystem as well.
