Overview
EchoDash is a wallet-connected dashboard that lets you see your standing across the EchoForge family of Cardano apps in one place. You link a Cardano wallet and the page shows your profile card, your current tier, how much ADA you've spent across the ecosystem, and scores that track your activity. It is built for people who use EchoForge's tools and want a single view of their progress.
EchoDash is one of four EchoForge products, alongside EchoCert, EchoUploader, and EchoVote, and it is the front-end hub for a user's EchoID profile. EchoID, not EchoDash, is EchoForge's identity layer for the Cardano ecosystem: the system that actually holds your profile. EchoDash is the window you look through to read it, pulling in your details, tier, and on-chain activity rather than storing the identity itself1. EchoForge is the parent organization behind all four tools, founded by Charles Tao2.
Key Features
- Your ecosystem profile in one view. Connect a Cardano wallet and EchoDash displays your EchoID profile card, your tier, your total ADA spent across EchoForge tools, and your activity scores together on one screen1.
- A tier ladder you climb over time. Individuals move up through Shadow, Etched, Mirror, Obsidian, and Infinity, while organizations move through Startup, Ceramic, Watermark, Purity, and Nexus. A FORGE button promotes you once you meet the spending and time conditions1.
- Credit for contributing and using the ecosystem. Two scores track your involvement: one rewards community contribution such as merged code, content, referrals, and translations; the other rewards usage across EchoForge's certification, file, voting, and dashboard tools. These offer alternative paths to a higher tier1.
- Available in four languages. The interface comes in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, so members across different parts of the Cardano community can read their dashboard in a language they know1.
- Connects through standard Cardano wallets. EchoDash uses MeshSDK, a toolkit that lets Cardano wallets link to web apps, so you sign in with a wallet you already have rather than creating a new account1.
What to Expect
You land on a wallet-connect screen (EchoForge calls it the Identity Galaxy), and the first step is to connect a Cardano wallet. Until you do, there's nothing personal to show, because everything on the dashboard is drawn from your own on-chain activity1.
Once connected, you see your profile card, your tier on the ladder, your cumulative ADA spending, and your activity scores laid out together. Early adopters can earn a Founding Citizen badge tied to the Obsidian tier. The FORGE button is where you act: when you've met the conditions, it moves you up a tier1.
EchoDash is a live product still being filled out: its own progress list shows 9 of 12 planned features complete, so a few parts of the dashboard are still being added3. It also depends on EchoID, the separate identity layer that holds the profile EchoDash displays, so the two are best understood as a pair. For a fuller picture, the EchoForge homepage explains how the four tools fit together2.
