We have been conducting interviews with projects, asking them some of the most fundamental questions to help everyone know the projects better.

As a new platform per se, we are often asked the same questions. And as a community-based platform, we value opinions and feedback matters to us. So, we decided to answer these questions ourselves to help everyone know Cardano Spot better.

Q: What inspired you to build Cardano Spot? What is the primary goal of Cardano Spot?

Cardano Spot was launched in August 2022 as Cardano Clan before rebranding in November 2022. It was built in response to the rapidly growing blockchain industry, which has caused the widening knowledge gap between the blockchain ecosystem, including the Cardano ecosystem, and the community as more in the community find it challenging to keep up with the fast-paced development.

Cardano Spot aims to bridge the gap between the Cardano ecosystem and the community by providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on all things Cardano for Cardano enthusiasts.

Through the Cardano Spot platform, Cardano enthusiasts can access the latest information surrounding the Cardano blockchain, such as developments, projects, community discussions, memes, and many more. At the same time, projects and users can build their thought leadership within the space by sharing their content, thoughts, and opinions.
