QRdano is a unique and innovative project based on the Cardano blockchain. The objectives of this project can be summarised into two main parts:

&#x20;

&#x20;  1\.     Development and implementation of new QR code technology within web3.

&#x20;  2\.    An interactive storyline incorporating an interactive website that utilizes puzzles, ciphers, and problem solving.

&#x20;

These two foci are virtually exclusive from one another. To explain it further, our focus as a *business* is the QR code technology, while our focus from a *community perspective* is the interactive storyline. Although crossover between these exists, it is simplest to think of them as two separate entities.

&#x20;

We are consistently planning unique ways of using digital collectables in storytelling experiences, as well as growing QR code technology and use-cases across web3.&#x20;
