About the Book
Part 5 of the Catalyst Off-Chain Impact Series
When Cardano sought to make everyday transactions more intuitive, Kora Labs introduced ADA Handle—a naming system that maps long cryptographic wallet addresses to short, memorable “@handles.” Backed by Project Catalyst funding, ADA Handle simplifies peer-to-peer payments and dApp interactions, creating a more human-centered on-ramp to the Cardano ecosystem.
This in-depth case study examines how ADA Handle grew from proposal to essential infrastructure: how phased Catalyst funding supported rapid development, how partnerships and community adoption drove network effects, and how open-source stewardship and user-first design secured lasting relevance.
As the fifth in a 12-part series funded under Project Catalyst grant #1300147, it delivers data-driven insight into how user-experience innovation can expand blockchain adoption and set a benchmark for accessible, community-driven infrastructure.
