Please describe your proposed solution.
<u>The Problem</u>
The demands of keeping up with the Cardano ecosystem let alone the entire crypto ecosystem is grueling. This is a true statement for people that are heavily involved in their particular crypto ecosystem and even more true for people that are curious about crypto/Cardano but haven't fully dived in.
<u>Solution</u>
-
Our site is event based.
-
We are approaching it from this manor because it allows for the user to choose the time horizon that suites them.
-
Do you want to find information that is happening on that particular day? No problem.
-
Are you looking to do more research as a project anticipates a mainnet launch? We have that too.
<u>How we accomplish this</u>
-
Our site will cater to many different personas based on their crypto/Cardano knowledge.
-
allows people to find out exactly when an event is happening they can put themselves in position to get the information that they desire.
-
We do this by allowing projects to easily post their key events to be highlighted on the site.
-
It provides a win-win situation for community members as well as projects to gain extra exposure and alert their community on what is going on.
<u>The Result</u>
-
A newbie will be able to find an educational Twitter space or new blog post.
-
A veteran will be able to hawk out a new project that looks promising.
-
Allows anyone of any knowledge level to get up to date info to educate themselves.
-
Ushers in people that are new to Cardano, new to crypto and also further equip people already in the community.
-
A network of information hunger people can start connecting, networking and sharing what they have learned.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
Getting any project from an idea to a company or DAO is difficult work. Most believe in a cross-chain future but the reality is that most also put themselves in an echo chamber within their preferred chain. Woolly Map provides a baseline for individuals to get up to speed on Cardano ecosystem events so that productive and insightful conversations can start to occur among different chains.
This project addresses cross-chain collaboration because:
- It serves as a great entry point for those that are curious about Cardano but spend majority of their time on other chains
- It provides a one-stop shop for people who are limited on time.
- removes the friction as much as possible so those that seek information can get it right away.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
- The main risk is that the barrier to post on the site is too high.
- We will mitigate this by providing as much value as we can to projects that list events on our site.
- This is done by making writing events easy
- Providing services (like being able to stake to a pool directly from the site). This will be enabled by feedback and iteration from the community.
