Please describe your proposed solution

We’re going to build a front-end for Cardano governance into Âtrium. So far we’ve built an educational dashboard with over 24 motion graphic videos that teach people about Cardano. These videos live in a dashboard that currently has wallet features with a goal of making Cardano easy and more accessible. We're already working on 12 more videos to add to our education portal and have released the first video concerning governance. You can view this video here: https://x.com/atrium_lab/status/1841791099184005297/video/1

Our plan is to make Cardano governance easy. Within our interface we’re going to give people the ability to delegate to dReps or become their own dReps. We’re going to build a governance proposal page that shows dReps, and regular users what proposals are currently available for Cardano governance. If a user has delegated to a dRep then they will be able to see the proposals, and if they’re dRep has voted yes or no on a proposal. If a user is a dRep then they will be able to see the proposals, and vote on any proposals that are currently live on-chain. We’re also going to create a dRep directory within Âtrium that shows some dRep stats, and allows users to delegate their ADA by clicking the delegate button. We’ll also create another page that allows you to look up what a dRep has voted on in the past.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

We’ve built an educational dashboard with 24 motion graphic videos to make Cardano easy and it’s already live. Governance participation is key to Cardano’s long term success.

We’re going to make governance easier by building governance utilities directly into our interface. While the scope isn’t included in this proposal, we are also making motion graphic videos to show people how to participate in governance.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

In past year we’ve shipped 24 motion graphic videos, two smart-contracts, and a dashboard that makes Cardano easy. Over 4000 user have already tried both testnets, and completed over 50,000 transactions. You can verify our ability to deliver by going to alpha.atrium.io. You currently need a preview wallet to access

What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

Milestone 1: In the first milestone we’ll deliver initial designs showcasing how we intend to bring basic governance features in Âtrium.io using our simple UI.

Milestone 2: In this milestone we’ll deliver the ability to become or own dRep directly in our app on Cardano’s preview network, and we’ll also allow people to type in a dRep ID on this page to delegate to other dReps in the Cardano ecosystem.

Milestone 3: We’ll deliver a dRep list that shows you all of the dReps you can delegate too, and the stats associated with various dReps.

Milestone 4: For milestone four we’ll deliver the ability to vote yes/no on governance proposals if you are a dRep. If you aren’t a dRep we will still show the proposals, and also show you if your dRep voted on a proposal that is already live.

Final Milestone: For our final milestone we’ll allow people to type in their dRep ID when they create or upgrade a Profile. We’ll create a page that allows people to search their dRep by their ID, or their Atrium Profile to see their voter history. Considering you can already connect social accounts to Atrium Profiles, we’ll also display their socials when you’re investigating their past votes.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

Governance on Cardano is an extremely important addition that brings enormous value to the ecosystem. We see Âtrium as a home for Cardano and aim to make it an all in one application that makes using Cardano services easy and accessible. By building governance tools into Âtrium, we hope to encourage users to consider voting, by removing barriers to entry and simplifying the process.
