Who can contribute to Essential Cardano?

Anyone! The #Cardano community is one of the largest, most passionate in blockchain. #EssentialCardano is YOUR hub to find & share anything #Cardano. It is a living, vibrant knowledge base encapsulating the very best of Cardano.

The #CardanoCommunity has contributed massively to Cardano’s success these past few years across various forums and social platforms. But, so much of the great content out there is highly fragmented. And often hard for new folks to find.

Now you can conveniently share your wealth of #Cardano knowledge with the world on a living portal.
