MMAAS (Market Making as a Service):
Liquidity Enhancement: Ensure, on a best effort basis, three Cardano Native Tokens (CNTs) achieve deeper liquidity on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) with a minimum trading volume of $5,000, and maintain price stability within ±2%. Additionally, facilitate arbitrage-free token swaps on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) to optimize trading efficiency.
Cardano Project Agreements: Secure, on a best effort basis, contracts with three Cardano-based projects, each a $7,000/month retainer for market-making services to support liquidity and price stability.
This plan focuses on boosting liquidity, stabilizing prices, and expanding market presence for Cardano projects through strategic market-making and exchange listings.

Harmonic Laboratories
The scope of the project is to create a Cardano data node that can run in the browser. Cardano data node implies a subset of features of a full node, mainly the ability to follow the tip of the chain and update the local ledger state accordingly, while replaying to queries from the end user. The ability to have a data node in the browser minimizes the trust required to interact with the cardano blockchain from any app that uses it.

Informatik Mündler
OpShin is a toolchain that lets developers construct Cardano smart contracts in Python. The toolchain comprises several projects that aim to facilitate the development of Smart Contracts and dApps on Cardano. They are largely based on Python, or integrate well with it for maximal accessibility. On top of accessibility, OpShin ensures low transaction cost compared to PlutusTx.
OpShin enforces strict typing on the high-level programming: it implements a type system on top of Python type hints. However, all traces of typing are erased during compilation, for a maximum efficiency program. OpShin beats many programming languages when taken to the test for real use-cases.
