Cardano Ecosystem
Investigating the "Cardano Ecosystem" grapic that ADA shills love to share.
Conclusion: None of these projects work. Everything is "coming soon" or has only launched a token. Very few have links to git, and the ones that do reveal that they are just demo projects without any integration with Cardano.
* MatrixSwap: “Deployed on Cardano”, “Launch App: Coming Soon”
* Adax: Whitepaper & ICO, no product.
* Coinlink: “See Our Demo” greyed out, no product.
* ChefSwap: Whitepaper only, has a stake pool
* MiRQUR: Only has a light paper and a discord
* Maladex: not sure what is going on here? Its a uniswap clone but none of the buttons work and it just lists ADA and USDC/T. No way to “connect wallet”. Couldn’t find a git project for this to investigate.
* YaySwap: just a whitepaper
* Cardax: just a whitepaper
* VyFi: just a whitepaper
* SundaeSwap: just a whitepaper
* Orion Protocol: Supposedly integrated with Cardano, but only BSC and ETH are supported.
* RayWallet. Hey a dapp! Well, just a simple wallet… Swap, IDO, NFT, etc. “will be available in the Goguen Era”.
* Sempo: Not even showing up on google.
* Revuto: Just has a token sale, no dapp
* Coti: Need to sign up to use, doesn’t seem to support Cardano at this time.
* Aada: Whitepaper and private sale, no dapp.
* Occam Fi: Is a launchpad, ICO and tokens only available on Uniswap. Hilarious.
* RIDOTTO: I can’t find this anywhere
* Charli3: “Buy Token” but no “Use Product”. Roadmap says they will “Migrate to Cardano” in Q3. Classic.
* Ergo: Are a year behind in the roadmap, ErgoEDX is supposed to launch in a few weeks though! Sounds familiar…
* Atala PRISM: Has a map and companion iOS app. Looking at the source code, this is a basic demo that hasn’t been touched in over a year. Don’t actually use Cardano. [GitHub - input-output-hk/atala-prism-demo](https://github.com/input-output-hk/atala-prism-demo)
* THEOS: White Paper and slide deck, no product. “Stay Tuned” for dapp.
* Xhibit: might be the only dapp that actually does… something? You can create an NFT, but not buy, sell, or even look at the roadmap. Seems to just be an image host with transactions linking IPFS files to their metadata. Not really an NFT, but more functionality than anything else I’ve seen on Cardano.
* Liqwid: Looks promising, but the “Launch App” button isn’t hooked up to anything. No dapp, and the Github has 11 commits across the entire project for the past year. DOA.
* Indigo Protocol: Testnet next month! Lets check back then. No product now.
* WrapAssets: Just an extremely generic whitepaper.
* Polyswap: Just an empty landing page, Github project is dead, last commit for a static website was in February. There is nothing here.
* Pharo: Could not find this.
* Insuro: Just a whitepaper.
* Crowdano: This is just a staking pool.
* Vent Finance: Just a launchpad that requires a login. I begrudgingly created an account, but it was worth it. “Connect Metamask” hahaha.
* SoMe: a social network that isn’t actually built on Cardano.
* Fanance Club: Just a whitepaper and token sale.
* DeFIRE: Built on Ethereum, Cardano deployment on the roadmap but not built.
