Strategic Collaborations — Q1 2026

Blaze SDK and Yaci Store
An introductory collaboration was facilitated between the Blaze SDK team and the Yaci Store / Yaci DevKit team to explore using Yaci Store as a local Blockfrost-compatible indexer with Blaze SDK. The teams were connected via Discord Group; the scope was agreed as documentation-only (no code changes required if Blaze’s Blockfrost backend is compatible). A draft integration guide was authored and submitted for joint review.

Integration guide (draft)
Add Blaze SDK + Yaci Store integration guide · PR #186
Architecture, configuration, advantages, limitations, and references to Blaze and Yaci DevKit. Intended for the Developer Experience portal (devex.intersectmbo.org).

WADA and Zedeal Group Hub Ltd
A second collaboration was advanced between WADA.org and Zedeal Group Hub Ltd around a Technical Support and Mentorship Program for projects emerging from African hubs. Zedeal proposed a technical follow-up framework so that early-stage projects can request support on blockchain integrations, smart contract implementation, SDK usage, infrastructure, and development architecture. This supports the milestone of deepening strategic collaborations by connecting Cardano ecosystem projects with structured technical support and mentorship.
