F8: Community Advisor Improvements

How do we ensure our CAs have enough understanding about our mission at catalyst before assessing proposals?

Adjusting and agreeing on the community's roles and responsibilities set out in the guidelines lacks suitable tooling and processes.

The CA-tool needs fund-on-fund updates and maintenance and additional features developed..

The CA/VCA group has ongoing operational/improvement needs a treasury will sustainably address by enabling the rapid funding of solutions.

Many Cardano users are unaware of project catalyst and community advisor role specifically. There is not enough Marketing. Lets fix it!

There is no discussion of the rules required for dRep. Japanese mass ADA holders cannot understand English-speaking dRep's talk

The (v)CA assessments of Catalyst proposals require the highest level of integrity possible to ensure the selection of the best proposals.

Time available in the Assess stage alone is maybe not enough to garner a larger assessment rate which are also of high quality.

The vCA-tool needs to be updated for each fund. Additional features can be added.

Project Catalyst turns economic power into innovation power by using the Cardano Treasury to incentivize and fund community-approved ideas.

Funds Overview

When a proposal is ‘Approved’, it means it received enough support to receive funding (at least 1% of the total registered voting power voted ‘YES’). But only those proposals that most people say 'YES' to get money first until there's no funding left in that category.

Meets all approval criteria; the highest ‘YES’ result gets funding first until the remaining budget is depleted in the category and unable to fully fund the next approved proposal. If the amount requested by a proposal is larger than the remaining category amount at any point, it is skipped.


Proposals that did not meet criteria for approval and were not eligible for funding. Each proposal needs to get enough 'YES' votes equal to 1% or more of total registered voting power in a funding round in order to be approved.

Proposals that met approval criteria but whose budgets exceeded the remaining category budget. Some 'Not Funded' proposals can get second change via 'Sponsored by Leftovers' category. Proposals can be approved but not funded due to lack of funding budget availability in a relevant category.

At least 1% of the total registered voting power must vote ‘YES’ on a proposal. In Fund11, there was ₳4,535,989,461 as a total registered voting power as accounted for by the snapshot. To be accepted (become an ‘approved proposal’ as well as be eligible for funding), a proposal must be voted by at least 0.01 * ₳4,535,989,461 = ₳45,359,894.61. ‘ABSTAIN’ votes do not count towards the acceptance threshold of 1%.

Proposals are ranked by the highest ‘YES’ votes and funded one by one until the category budget runs out. Any leftover funds excludes proposals submitted in ‘Cardano Use Cases: Product’ and ‘Catalyst Systems Improvements’ categories.

Includes Fund 10, 11, 12 and 13 total funds, converted to USD at the time of fund launch. Please note, any ecosystem role incentives are not included in these figures.

Funds requested by funded projects. Please note, any ecosystem role incentives are not included in these figures.

There's some funds left in each category that haven't been given out. All that leftover funding is put together into a new category called 'Sponsored by Leftovers'. All approved (and not yet funded) proposals across the entire Fund are eligible for this funding, except proposals from the 'Cardano Use Cases: Product' or 'Catalyst Systems Improvements' categories.

The number of Cardano wallets that take an active part in the Catalyst voting event. Each wallet can vote once per proposal. The number indicated by each proposal represents a number of unique wallets casting a vote for that specific proposal.

Total voting power in ada casting an ‘ABSTAIN’ vote from all wallets combined. ‘ABSTAIN’ votes can be found in the results CSV for reference and do not count towards the approval criteria thresholds.

Total voting power applied in opposition of a proposal

Total voting power in ada casting a ‘YES’ vote applied in support/favor of a proposal from all wallets combined counting towards approval criteria thresholds.

Amount of ada registered to vote in Catalyst determined by the voting power snapshot unique for every funding round. For Fund11, the snapshot took place on Jan 15, 21:45 UTC. Each wallet has its own unique voting power based on the balance on the day/time of the snapshot. Each time a wallet casts a vote, it uses its full voting power applied to a proposal. This can be done only once per each proposal: ‘YES’ or ‘ABSTAIN’.

At least 1% of the total registered voting power must vote ‘YES’ on a proposal. In Fund12, there was ₳4,589,303,769 as a total registered voting power as accounted for by the snapshot.
