Primary working repository for all the source work toward C3ETH's Catalyst Fund 6 Proposals.
Project Catalyst is the beginning of bringing on-chain governance to Cardano. It is a series of experiments which leverage the collective intelligence of the Catalyst community to determine the future direction and development of the Cardano ecosystem. Through a series of ‘innovation funds’, the community sources brilliant ideas, decided via a vote, and the Treasury finances the best ideas for building a global blockchain.
This repository contains the work of the Eastern Hemisphere community (CE ETH) proposal work. The C3 ETH is helping enable community members from a wide variety of countries and languages in the eastern timezones. A particular focus of the team is to localise Cardano Catalyst content and on-baording to enable the widest participation possible.
Collectivily the Cardano Community is puting a great deal of time, effort, and passion into creating a governance system which allows everyone to have their voice heard. The aim is to:
-
Distributed research and development. We can build things better, faster, and cheaper than top down organizations when we empower our community.
-
Decentralized team building. Great innovation comes from great teams. Many of our most impactful projects come from teams who met while becoming a part of Project Catalyst.
-
Group refinement and execution. We see a significant improvement in the quality of proposals after the community weighs in with their constructive criticism.
Contributions of any kind welcome!
We are current in the insight phase (week one) of the Catalyst process. Please add your challenge insights and there project catalyst link to the insights.md file in the challenge folder.
Catalyst Fund 6 has eighteen challenges and one challenge setting challenge for Fund 7. Below are the challenges.

| Disaster: When all is at stake | How can we help SPOs tackle risks & plan, develop and participate in disaster recovery tests in a safe hiccup-free and decentralized manner? |
| Distributed decision making | How can we help the Catalyst community to get better at distributed decision making within the next two Catalyst rounds? |
| DLT Entrepreneurship Toolbox | How can early stage entrepreneurs develop their skills to execute & communicate great ideas so voters/stakeholders value the project? |
| Cardano Emerging Threat Alarm | How can we help stakeholders identify serious emerging systemic threats for the Cardano blockchain before a threat overcomes the system? |
| Fund 7 challenge setting | What Challenges should the community prioritize to address in Fund7? |
| Grow Africa, Grow Cardano | How do we seed and grow Cardano in Africa? |
| Improve and Grow Auditability | How to make the auditing process of funded proposals efficient, distributed and transparent? |
| Metadata challenge | How can we utilize transaction metadata to solve real world problems? |

| NFT Business models | What non-Art use cases of NFTs can distinguish Cardano as the blockchain of choice for NFT based businesses? |
| Partnerships for Global Adoption | How can Cardano enter in global partnerships with United Nations Development Programme and World Bank Group, to leverage mass adoption? |

| Scale-UP Cardano's DeFi Ecosystem | How can we encourage DeFi teams to build/deploy open finance solutions on Cardano in the next 6 months? |
We will be developing proposals for two areas:
- C3 ETH Specific Proposals to help with our goals
- Language specific Challenge Settings.
Fund 7 Challenge Setting Proposal(s) are Language-specific challenges while the C3 ETH proposals are specific to our team's efforts, or to helping with multilingual support in general.
We will be putting up multiple proposals. This is to help us learn and see what peoples preferences are. When we notice other communities suggesting similar proposals we will seek to collaborate and merge effors. Catalyst is non-rivalous, we all win by working together.
During the insight phase, collaborators are asked to submit their insights to Project Catalyst and then add their insight plus link to the Project Catalyst submission into the insight.md of the challenge in this repositiory.
Anyone who wants to draft insights this week should. We encourage everyone to draft insights to raise our profile and receive feedback. We will use these insights and any community comments to help us develop our proposals.
Some ideas already sugguested include:
- A fund to act as a bounty for translation of proposals
- Local Community centers proposal
To ensure the various communities- Catalyst Swarm, School, and ETH don't compete are map of the proposals is maintained on the Miro Board.
Our intention is all proposals will be fully translated into languages from the eastern hemisphere. The aim is to enable the widest possible inclusion into the Catalyst process. Return on Intention is international participation. To stream line the translation of all the proposals we will be using Crowdin to automate the process.
CONTRIBUTING TO TRANSLATIONS: You can contribute to translations by signing up to Crowdin and begin translating the content listed in the project. c3eth team members will check over your translations and approve them or offer improvements. The translations will be pulled into the I10n_main branch of this repository and periodically merged into main.
This workflow will be extended to include the translation of the website content and and videos we produce.
Direct translation using a text editor and git also possible for contributors that are comformatable with using git, GitHub, and Markdown.
See CHANGELOG.md for notable changes and versions.
Thanks goes to these wonderful contributors (see emoji key):
