Cardano Guide - A one-stop guide

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

We look forward to having a complete set of documents so that any new members who come into contact with Cardano can experience, love, and become an expert, and then directly contribute to and participate in the Cardano ecosystem's expansion. This guide will remove all barriers and concerns for new Cardano users who are unsure where to begin.

The Cardano Guide provides step-by-step instructions and notes during exposure to Cardano. This guide will have 6 parts:

• Introduction: Bring Cardano to everyone
• Analytic on-chain & off-chain data: How to track data
• SPO: Make the network more decentralized
• NFT + Tokens: Make your own assets
• Catalyst: How to Become an Entrepreneur
• Launchpad: Boots your projects

Detailed solution description

• Easy-to-assess Information: A one-stop guide pack ranging from fundamental to in-depth knowledge will assist a newcomer in fully comprehending and capitalizing on the opportunities available in the Cardano Ecosystem.

• Onboarding new members: Community members do not need to run around looking for updated information from Cardano because it is all ready-made in detail in the "Cardano Guide," which saves time and makes onboarding new members easier by allowing for simpler sharing. Especially the developing Asian community where Cardano is still a new term

• Avoiding scams: A dependable source of documents with frequent updates will give the community confidence that they are receiving a summary of trusted news, reducing the amount of fake news floating around in the ecosystem.
