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 results. 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 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.

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.

Proposals are ranked by the highest number of ‘YES’ votes and funded one by one until the category budget runs out. Leftover funds from each category are combined and some further eligible proposals can receive funding (see ‘Leftovers’).

Some funds are left unallocated in each category as there is not enough remaining budget to allocate to the next eligible proposal (see ‘Fund Distribution Logic’). These leftover funds are combined from all categories, and create 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.

Project Catalyst explained: an innovation engine from IOG

Project Catalyst is the world’s largest decentralized innovation engine for solving real-world challenges.

Ideas. Innovation. Impact.

Project Catalyst has funding rounds every few months, with a set amount of ada ready to allocate to ideas.

At the start of each Fund, the community has three weeks to submit proposals to answer challenges set in the previous funding round. Proposals are selected by community vote and funding is allocated to bring the projects to life.

Project Catalyst is currently between funding rounds, with the next Fund coming soon.
