Please describe your proposed solution.

We will implement a powerful widget embedded directly in the keywords (hotwords) in the news of the cryptocurrency sites, so for example, if someone is reading a news that talks about ""Cardano"", that term will be ""emphasis" and hovering over it will open an overlay with real-time currency price information, volume, % up or % down, etc.

With this, the user will not need to leave the page to consult the currency price on external sites such as CoinmarketCap or Coingecko, bringing great speed and improving the user experience within the news sites.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

The script will be inserted through Google Tag Manager with just one line of code, so the news portal will be able to list all supported coins and tokens and automatically when these terms appear in some news, it automatically pulls the overlay with the widget information.

We intend to implement automatic pricing for major coins as well as token developments within the Cardano blockchain.

The entire architecture will be assembled with the best development practices, ensuring a great user experience, connecting through APIs and with microservices architecture, always aiming at the best speed and response time for queries and display for users.

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 challenge for the project will be the integration of the widget script by the content portals that cover the crypto world. We will already start with the widget installed on the CardanoFeed.com website, with more than 1,000,000 monthly visits and bringing great visibility to the projects and also acting as a great case to implement on other websites.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs.

If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

No, we believe the platform will become self-sufficient by including sponsors in the widget.

Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

• We will give the community some sort of progress report as we go along, in the form of a monthly news release on Cardano Feed, to measure the progress of our proposal.
• We will also provide a panel to be disseminated within Cardano Feed, with the evolution of the project according to the Catalyst KPIs
• Number of script impressions: 100,000
• Number of coins listed: 50
• Number of integrated content sites: 10
• Integration with content sites according to roadmap

What does success for this project look like?

Success for this project can be defined:

• Number of triggers and visualization of the overlay widget
• CTR: Relationship between impression and click on Widget
• Validation of feedback and platform improvements

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 project.
