John also hosted an AMA after town hall break out room. We've saved a recording of it for you.

Eastern hemisphere is buzzin'!
In this week's Eastern Town Hall, the Catalyst School ran the 'Proposing in Catalyst' session hosted by Raz. 90% of Indonesian participants attended. In the Viet Nam breakout room, Mercy from WADA was the guest, sharing her experiences. Proposals were shared and advice was gathered in all the breakout rooms. We also covered how to bring more women into Cardano and explored the opportunities for the creative economy. Wish to learn even more? Check out detailed notes here.

#wenrewards for Fund5? NOW!
Pleased to announce that all voter rewards have been allocated on chain. Now, these will be credited to your wallets together as staking rewards. Unsure how to make them apart? Wrote this quick reddit post during the last fund and it is still relevant as the process hasn't changed. Keep in mind that rewards will not be available for you to use up until the next epoch change.
Rewards for (veteran) Community Advisors and Referrers have also been credited during the day today. If you are a referrer and haven't received the rewards - we are likely missing your address details. Please, reach out by replying to this e-mail and we'll sort it out. Thank you in advance.
Get in touch
And that's all for now. In case of any doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to me via twitter, telegram, reddit or simply reply to this e-mail. I'll get back to you shortly. Happy to help.
Enjoy your weekend ahead.
