## Mapping the Universe: An Overview of the Sovryn Ecosystem
Community Call #39 was a visual and informative session that unveiled the first official **Sovryn Ecosystem Map**. This comprehensive graphic provides a bird’s-eye view of the entire Sovryn landscape, illustrating the core protocol, integrated partner projects, community-driven initiatives, and the various tools that support the ecosystem.
### Why an Ecosystem Map?
As Sovryn grows, it can be challenging for both new and existing users to keep track of all the moving parts. The ecosystem is more than just the core dApp; it’s a constellation of wallets, bridges, analytics platforms, and community groups. The map serves as a vital educational tool to:
* **Onboard New Users:** It provides a clear, visual guide to help newcomers understand the breadth of what’s available.
* **Highlight Integrations:** It showcases the ‘connective tissue’ that Sovryn has been building, demonstrating its interoperability and network effects.
* **Recognize Community Contributions:** It formally acknowledges and gives visibility to the many community-led projects and tools that add value to the ecosystem.
### Key Areas of the Map
The map is organized into several key categories:
* **Core Protocol:** The central Sovryn dApp with its features like trading, lending, and staking.
* **Wallets:** A list of all the wallets that support Sovryn and Rootstock.
* **Bridges & On-ramps:** The various ways users can bring assets into the Sovryn ecosystem, including FastBTC and cross-chain aggregators.
* **Community & Governance:** Highlighting the Sovryn Forum, the Wiki, and community-led groups like the Circle of Tokens.
* **Analytics & Tools:** Featuring integrations like the Dune Analytics dashboards and other community-built tools.
* **Builder Program Projects:** Showcasing the new dApps and services being funded by ecosystem grants.
### A Living Document
The team emphasized that this map is a living document that will be updated regularly as new projects and integrations are added. It will be hosted on the Sovryn Wiki and serves as a testament to the collaborative, decentralized growth of the entire Sovryn universe.
