A Multi-chain Explorer ft. Cardano
Problem
There are multiple Cardano Explorers present but not one which can support multiple chains all at one place. This could bring in more users to the Cardano Ecosystem from the other chains.
Solution
There will be more footfall on the Cardano chain to understand how it works by placing Cardano prominently on our multi chain Explorer along with Ethereum , BSC, Solana, Polygon , Fantom, etc.
Total to date
This is the total amount allocated to A Multi-chain Explorer ft. Cardano.
[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
All of us love to be spoilt with choices and if the multiple options are available al at one place without having to worry much makes life easier in our day to day busy schedule.
The real time scenario is - the crypto users/traders in general are involved with multiple chain, would like to understand how their portfolio is performing, scan through all their transactions on multiple chains that they deal with .
For this, a multi chain crypto trader will have to visit multiple explorers like https://explorer.cardano.org/en, or etherscan or bscscan for example to look at their transactions for each chain .
So we thought , what if we could fetch all of the data at one place.
And hey, Unmarshal being a data vault had access to data from multiple chain and thus was born https://xscan.io our multichain explorer. We currently fetch data for Ethereum , Bsc, Solana, Matic, Fantom, Celo and XDC chains with many more in progress.
We have a simplified yet detailed version of all transactions supported with visual queue for each of the transactions, whether the transaction was a debit or a credit or a swap or a deposit one would know all here.
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
With a Multi chain Explorer featuring Cardano, Our Solution brings in members from multiple communities to one place to explore what Cardano has to offer and how the Cardano community generally interacts within them thereby bringing in more people towards Cardano.
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
Well, Cardano ecosystem is built a little differently from the other EVM based chains and the challenge for us would be on learning the nuances around the Cardano genesis code and to build on top of it.
[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.
Milestone 1 — Indexing The Node
Estimated Tech Work - 24 days
Time to Sync data - 14-28 days (depends on the volume of data)
Number of resources - 4
Approximate Estimated Cost - $35,000
The cost covers research and learning of Cardano Ecosystem, Setting up of Infra for Cardano, Indexing the entire Cardano chain to meet Unmarshal requirements
Milestone 2 — Decoding Data
Estimated Duration - 36 days
Number of resources - 2
Approximate Estimated Cost - $25,000
The cost involves decoding of the indexed On Chain data, setting up databases , setting up live sync of data from Cardano chain.
Milestone 3 — Explorer Integration Backend
Estimated Duration - 28 days
Number of resources - 3
Approximate Estimated Cost - $20,000
The cost includes tasks around understanding the Decoded data and Events on the chain along with all the available transactions, creating End Points suitable for integrating Cardano with XScan.
Milestone 4 - Explorer Integration Front End & Optimisation
Estimated Duration - 28 days
Number of resources - 3
Approximate Estimated Cost - $20,000
Cost includes the front End Effort for integration along with working on Optimisation of our platform over the inclusion of Cardano.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.
Most Likely. Unmarshal is always on its edge to provide multiple avenues for DAPPs , or traders to be connected to the Ecosystem. Our technical & Product team have lined up many number of useful products to the DeFi ecosystem which will benefit App builders and End Users extensively.
Unmarshal would love to extend our products on the Cardano Ecosystem for the fullest utilisation of the cCardano Community.
[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?
Yes[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?
Yes[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?
The measure of our Project's Progress will be done based on the number of increased users after integrating Cardano with our Multi chain explorer.
We will be tracking -
- The number of users visiting the Cardano Section
- Number of new users logged in after the integration
- Number of previous users who were using XScan , and now have begun using the Cardano Section.
The User interaction with our Solution will determine the progress.
[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?
Success for Cardano Unmarshal integration will be when the word about this partnership is spread across widely and we get featured on Cardano's on successful completion and when we on board more end users and DAPPS on to our ecosystem after Cardano Integration.
[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.
This is a new proposal.
Team
Our Project Unmarshal has successfully thrived in the DeFi Data market for over 15 months and we have integrated over 18 chains so far. Our Team has rigorously targeting the Non EVM chains and would be more than happy to include Cardano to our Arsenal.
