Fix Cardano’s Cross-chain Swap Liquidity Crisis

Cardano's crisis: low liquidity when swapping from other chains to ADA creates bad-value trades where you receive much less than you spend. NUFI’s solution gives users access to deep-liquidity, aggregated cross-chain swaps that are executed at the best possible prices.

Scavenger Mine SDK

For a Cardano project distributing a token, an airdrop can be complex to set up and expensive to execute. A Scavenger Mine is a superior alternative: minimal setup or hardware needed, and – for miners – it’s a fair and fun way to earn a token with no financial commitment. NUFI will create an open-source SDK that enables anybody to run their own Scavenger Mine to distribute a Cardano token.

Cardano suffers from low liquidity and complex LP management; VyFi will create an AI-driven yield and liquidity optimization engine for Cardano, combining a RAG and GAN model to continuously analyze, simulate and manage optimal LP and yield strategies.

Enable Solidity Smart Contracts on Cardano

New developers face high barriers on Cardano due to unfamiliar functional languages and complex tooling; VyFi will enable Solidity to run on Cardano by extending and open-sourcing our proprietary compiler for imperative languages to UPLC, with tooling for supporting rapid dApp development.

Sellout x Anvil: Fraud-Proof Ticketing and Events on Cardano

Ticket resale is dominated by scalpers, fraud, and inflated pricing; Anvil will create a Cardano-powered marketplace that enables fair resale, enforceable royalties, fraud-proof ownership, and transparent event data, all through Sellout’s enterprise ticketing system. Sellout has operated since 2017, with hundreds of organizers served and 200k+ users. Trusted for shows including Tiësto, Dave Matthews Band and the Yellowstone Club 2026 series.
