What is Powered by Cardano?
Powered by Cardano is an independent platform documenting projects building across the Cardano, Apex Fusion, and Midnight ecosystems through a structured project index and interviews.
Our focus is long-term discoverability, editorial clarity, and accurate representation.
Who is the platform for?
The platform is primarily designed for:
People exploring the Cardano ecosystem
Builders, founders, and teams
Researchers, developers, and ecosystem participants
Projects are the only paying customers. Viewers access all content freely.
How do projects get listed in the index?
Projects are onboarded through a Genesis Interview, which forms the basis of the project’s index listing.
The Genesis Interview is a short, structured interview answering three fixed questions:
What is the project?
What problem does it address?
What solution does it provide?
Is every project eligible for update or deep-dive interviews?
No.
Update and Deep-Dive interviews are capacity-limited and scheduled based on editorial availability.
Not all indexed projects will receive update or deep-dive interviews.
What is the difference between the interview types?
Genesis Interview
A short, structured introductory interview used for ecosystem indexing and documentation.Ascension Interview
A progress-focused update interview highlighting milestones and next steps.Odyssey Interview
A longer, narrative-driven interview exploring vision, strategy, or major announcements.
Each format serves a different editorial purpose.
Are interviews promotional or sponsored content?
Genesis and Ascension interviews are editorial in nature.
Odyssey interviews are clearly labeled as sponsored and allow for deeper narrative exploration, while still following editorial standards.
Powered by Cardano does not endorse projects.
Where are interviews published?
All interviews are:
Published on poweredbycardano.io
Shared on X
Uploaded to YouTube
Differences between interview types are based on editorial depth and intent, not on whether content is distributed.
Do you guarantee views, reach, or exposure?
No.
Powered by Cardano does not offer guarantees around views, engagement, or reach.
The platform focuses on documentation, visibility, and long-term reference value rather than short-term metrics.
Can we request specific questions or topics?
For Genesis interviews, questions are fixed and standardised.
For Ascension and Odyssey interviews, topics can be discussed in advance, within the bounds of the interview format and editorial guidelines.
How often can a project do update interviews?
Ascension interviews are optional and availability is limited.
There is no guaranteed frequency for update interviews, and requests are handled based on capacity.
Is Powered by Cardano affiliated with the Cardano Foundation or other entities?
No.
Powered by Cardano operates independently and is not affiliated with any foundation, protocol, or commercial organisation.
Can the platform change over time?
Yes.
The platform evolves gradually based on capacity, ecosystem needs, and operational sustainability.
Changes are reflected transparently on the site.
