Hello there, beautiful soul!

Hope this message finds you well. 

Governance. Something humans have been trying to nail for thousands of years. Literally. To this date we still haven't found the most ideal way how to co-live in this world with tranquility, transparency, accountability or in peace. It's why experiments like Catalyst and many others around blockchain world are so vital in helping us understand how technology, tooling, and processes could finally help alleviate some of those challenges.

Wish to understand what that may look like within Cardano? Make sure to catch the latest whiteboard video further down below on exactly this topic as shared by Mr. Charles Hoskinson. It's very informative and will help you highlight what's ahead of us. Let me know your thoughts and share your perspectives with those around you. You are key to all of this. 

Meanwhile, let's find out what else has been happening in the world of Catalyst.

Town Hall
 


ICYMI

💡 Next: Jul 6 @ 17:00 UTC. Register now via this recurring link. It will be SPECIAL CIRCLE EDITION. Read on that more below.

Community run town hall events around the world:
🌍 Africa (bi-weekly) 🌏 Eastern Hemisphere (bi-weekly) 🌎 LATAM (weekly)
🌏 Pacific (weekly) 🌏 South Asia (weekly)

Proposals are finalized. What's next?


If you are a Proposer in Fund9 - you can take a break now. Well done for getting your proposals finalized in time! We will be in touch once again in two weeks when Proposer flagging of substandard reviews begins. Don't miss it as that is an opportunity for you to flag assessments that did not follow guidelines. You will be our first line of crowd sourced quality control. 

For full timeline click here and key announcements please subscribe to this channel.
 


We also apologize for the inconvenience/stress/anxiety etc. that was caused by ideascale performance degradation during those last moments leading to the official deadline. We engaged their team, helped alleviate the issue and extended the deadline for several additional hours during which everything seemed to work well. We recognise this wasn't ideal. Took notes and will be evaluating how to avoid that next time.

Meanwhile, Proposal Assessors (PAs) have also started their journey to review and assess all proposals. This is the first time that Assessments stage for PAs is open for almost two weeks. That's twice the time that was allocated to this stage during previous funds. 

⛽ Have extra fuel in tank yourself? Still interested in helping with reviewing few proposals outside of your challenge? Read on more below. 

Help assess proposals. If you can. 

Time has come for your input. Your domain expertise and knowledge is fundamental to evaluate and assess Fund9 proposals. 

Your role is to provide:

  1. Voters with a thoughtful perspective to help them make informed decisions about which proposals to fund 
  2. Proposers with feedback so they can improve their proposals over time 

How to participate? If you choose to opt in. 

The most critical task for you is to read and understand Proposal Assessor (PA) guidelines in order to ensure that your work will not be excluded and done in vein. It's key to understand that you cannot do work in challenges where your own proposals are submitted in. Don't overlook that. 
 


Your performance will be evaluated by Proposers as well as veteran Proposal Assessors (vPAs). Then it shall become part of your record that can build your reputation. If accepted, your reviews are going to be visible for voters to read and consider in the voting app directly.

  • 👎 Producing substandard work will cause you losing eligibility to claim some (or all) of your rewards as well as risk being locked out of future assessments ⛔️
  • 👍 On the contrary, producing good/excellent work will build your reputation & elevate your rewards eligibility 🚀

Do your best original and independent work!

Here are resources for you to bookmark to help you achieve that:

Deadline to submit your work & PA registration

Catalyst Circle

Reading about Catalyst Circle for the first time? It is The Human Sensor Array of Project CatalystWant to have a high level overview of current list of prioritised problems? Follow this link
 


 

Next week, regular town hall will be rather short just to account for the most immediate updates for general awareness. Instead, we are going to spend time together ideating and brainstorming on the future of Catalyst Circle, Catalyst governance, and many other related conversations. There will be special break out rooms assigned during that event. And you are warmly welcomed! Make sure not to miss it and register now here.

Caught my attention! "Lets talk roadmap and governance"
 

A white board explainer video on the topic of work that is being done and what awaits us possibly next. You never know how these efforts turn out in the end - so many variables to consider - but I think you will enjoy conceptual/practical framework of governance work currently underway as delivered by Mr. Charles Hoskinson (CEO of IOG) in his latest video. Follow the link here for full length. Worth it. Can't wait to be able to start sharing more insight directly as well.

Number of the week - 1,200

1,200+ proposals are now in the Cardano's community pipeline in Fund9 on Project Catalyst. What a highlight of phenomenal innovative spirit! Have a look at some of them via cardano.ideascale.com portal. 
 

Get in touch

And that's a wrap. Let's talk Catalyst & governance via twitter, or telegram, or reddit, or wherever is your home online and keep conversations engaging on these very important topics.

Enjoy your weekend ahead!
