The Cardano Foundation Introduces Tool Compass
The Cardano Foundation rolled out its new Tool Compass on July 25, aiming to reduce development time and increase accuracy when building on the Cardano blockchain. This launch introduces several streamlined features that help developers move more quickly by identifying the most suitable tools without spending time researching options manually.
Tool Compass is set up to guide developers in choosing the right way to access Cardano blockchain data. Instead of forcing teams to study every option individually, it narrows down choices based on a project’s structure, requirements, and feature needs. This structure provides consistent direction for developers working across different blockchain use cases.
According to the Cardano Foundation’s official blog post, the Tool Compass also includes strong documentation and a library of practical blueprints. These blueprints contain examples and templates that teams can immediately apply to their work. That helps projects get started without delay, especially for those new to Cardano’s system.
Introducing Tool Compass.
The Tool Compass helps developers easily find and use the right Cardano tools for their projects. With it, devs can:
- Work faster
- Access blockchain data better
- Find the best solutions

Developer Onboarding Gets Easier with Custom Workflows
A key part of Tool Compass is a structured workflow that walks users through the process of accessing blockchain data. This workflow removes guesswork and speeds up key decisions. Developers no longer need to try several methods—they can follow a tailored path to the right solution quickly.
The guide’s editing process also stands out. It is based on plain text files that do not require programming experience. Anyone can update it. When changes are made, the tool automatically updates itself to reflect those inputs. New features, project paths, or pros and cons can be added at any time, allowing the system to stay current.
Another major benefit is the way Tool Compass helps developers find and link up with the best available solutions from across the Cardano network. Updates are straightforward, and integration becomes simpler and less error-prone. This creates a setup where clear decisions can be made without slowing down blockchain development.
ADA Up 37% in One Month — Support Holds Firm
The timing of Tool Compass has coincided with a period of upward movement for Cardano’s native token, ADA. Now priced at $0.786, ADA is up 37% over the last month, bringing its market cap to $27.84 billion. It has remained above $0.49—a level that has repeatedly held during prior pullbacks, suggesting solid interest around that price.
This area matches its value area low and has drawn in buying interest on each retest. After the most recent rebound, ADA has reclaimed the point of control—a key area in terms of price structure and volume concentration. This level sits in the middle of the range between $0.49 and $1.19.
Holding above that point could support further gains, assuming current conditions continue. Weekly closes above this line confirm a higher low structure, which opens the door for ADA to retest the upper end of its range.
