Americans could have saved $74 billion in credit card transaction fees in 2022 alone by using blockchain—that’s $600 per household.

But this isn’t just about saving money. It’s about giving everyone control and ownership of their money.

Ray's Project Catalyst Fund 11 hot picks

Philosophy
I've been with the Cardano community since June of 2020. I've been lucky enough to meet some of the best developers, builders and business people I've ever met. My picks are weighted by the quality and leadership of the people who make these proposals and their demonstrated ability to deliver value to our community. They are dedicated to enabling Cardano to evolve and be the best performing blockchain in the market. As an SPO, I'm always looking for better tools to secure and manage our network. As a User, I'm always looking for faster, cheaper and more streamlined easy to use and secure ways to maximize the flow of wealth. A flow that empowers self-sovereignty and supports positive humanitarian & environmental impacts all powered by Cardano Community.

🎯In the Catalyst app, search author, select the proposals, VOTE!

Author
• Proposal(s)
🛠Justification

⬆️ Fund 11 vote up ⬆️

VESPR Team
• All proposals
🛠 VESPR has established itself as best in class mobile wallet. Their proposals build on that success, bringing cold wallet compatibility, token dashboards and security audits.
🎯
$conrad
• HandleChat by ADA Handle | $handle
🛠 Conrad is one of our champions, a great SPO and builder, this one builds upon ADA Handle and aims to be one of, if not the only censorship-resistant messaging service.
🎯
Mike (case sensitive)
• React Component Decentralized Wallet
🛠Mike has demonstrated commitment to building fully decentralized, open-sourced solutions for Cardano. Imagine if Daedalus ran fast like a hot wallet, but gave you the freedom to connect to a local/remote node already chain synced while seamlessly integrated into any dApp 🔥
🎯
Agrow Labs Corp
• Interoperability and Cross-chain communication for Cardano: VISTA (Verified Interchain Secure Transfer Architecture)
• Optimized Smart Contracts and Infrastructure for interoperable protocols on Cardano: VISTA
• Cardano Standardized Supply Chains Library
🛠 Interoperability has long been one of Cardano's core objectives to becoming a global financial OS. This VISTA open-source protocol aims to build much needed decentralized, trustless cross-chain communication services, including public free contracts for critical supply chain ecosystem operations.
🎯
Latheesan
• Mercury: Invoice
• GateKeeper 2.0: Evolution
🛠 Latheesan another OG pioneering spirit, brings us tooling for mainstream use cases and adoption. A much needed simple, open source invoicing platform and events ticketing system for merchants to easily begin accepting $ADA and CNTs, ensuring a broader business adoption of Cardano.
🎯
Viper Science
• Hardware-Secured Hot Wallets for Live Services (Dexes, Bridges, Side-Chains & Dapps)
🛠 Hot wallets represent one of the biggest threats to our security, being vulnerable to private key theft, draining our wallets. Viper team keeps us ahead of emerging threats to our expanding DeFi experience.
🎯
Dylan Crocker
• Threshold Signatures for Cardano Wallets
🛠 Open-sourced implementation for security & performance improvements to wallet signature tooling.
🎯
Dex Hunter
• Perpetual Protocol by DexHunter
🛠 It's hard to say no to anything these guys do, big plus for our ecosystem. This one develops a decentralized perpetual trading protocol for derivatives trading.
🎯
Optim
• - Optim Finance OADA - Innovative ADA Synthetic . Supercharge DeFi with better ADA liquidity + Boosted yield
🛠 Forward looking, supports greater future viability of our staking & governance protocols, an evolution of Optim's Liquidity Bonds, providing an easier to use and more composable form of ADA for dApps to build with resulting in boosts to staking yields and TVL benefits.
🎯
Nucast
• Nucast: Live-streaming Protocol Revolutionizes The Streaming Space
🛠 Plain and simple, it's time to decentralize the live streaming landscape!! While providing a way for content creators to easily monetize their efforts and engage their audience.
🎯
Patrick Tobler
• Real World Asset Tokenization Minting Capabilities in NMKR Studio
• Real World Assets Tokenization Launchpad by NMKR, FluidTokens & IAMX
🛠 Patrick is a big asset to this ecosystem, always building and networking for broader adoption. Their NMKR platform is a cornerstone to our NFT minting apparatus. These proposals bring the quickly growing interest in real world assets (RWA) right into its already rich studio along with their new RWA launchpad, "Finest" in collaboration with FluidTokens & IAMX.
🎯
Drip Dropz
• DripDropz - Cardano’s Reward Layer - Improved Tooling
• DripDropz - Mainstreet Suite Licensing
🛠 I'm a sucker for teams with solid track records, and DD has consistently delivered for Cardano. This one overhauls their UX and brings integration into external sites. The Mainstreet Suite will support the project's acquisition of 23 money transmitter licenses (states), overcoming the final barriers to mainstream adoption.
🎯
lloydduhon
• Urban Farmer - Grow to Launch
🛠 Lloyd has his talents serving a lot of our better projects on Cardano. This one focuses on interoperability development moving to complete a dApp solution addressing an important use case: SDG goals ending hunger, boosting food security and sustainable agriculture. Key to this proposal is the development of sidechain tech and Terraform scripts allowing Cardano based developers and businesses, and others, to integrate and interact with other blockchains.
🎯
mike (case sensitive)
• MarloweHub: Unifying Platform for Marlowe Smart Contracts - Phase 1 - Smart Contracts
🛠 Mike always gets my vote, creator of the popular PoolTool and SPO for LOVE pool, this one gives us a Marlowe smart contract explorer and repository providing a variety of documented SCs giving good examples to build upon.
🎯
Lenfi Official
• Wider accessibility of automatic borrowing - Lenfi Software Development Kit (SDK)
🛠 Reduce centralization risks in Lenfi, replace with programmable SDK for decentralized borrowing/lending.
🎯
Dan Gonzalez
(Sundae Labs)
• All Proposals
🛠 Once again, I'm a sucker for great teams with a solid track record. As a scooper for Sundae DEX I may be a little biased, but I also get first hand exposure to the quality and excellence of this team. They not only develop tooling for their DEX, a lot of their work, including audits, is embraced and appreciated by many other DeFi projects in the space. Sundae is a community centric team with contributions to this ecosystem that make it better.
🎯
Metera Protocol
• Metera Protocol | Aiken Test-net Development
🛠 Allow users to invest in carefully crafted indexes that give instant exposure to a wide range of Cardano native assets.
🎯
Photrek LLC
• Governance Hackathon: Cardano DRep Teams
• Sociocratic DReps : A representation framework for Democratic Pluralism
• Alternative Catalyst voting schemes with new crypto protocols by IOG Research, Photrek, and the Catalyst Team
🛠 I've been following Photrek's work since my first interaction with their lead, Dr. Kenric Nelson during Catalyst Circle V2 where we each held roles problem sensing our respective communities and developing solutions to further decentralizing IOGs authority over changes to our network. Photrek has been serving Cardano with quality research, educational workshops, risk analysis and 3 previously funded Catalyst proposals since 2021. This F11 group of proposals from Photrek (last one in collaboration with IOG) represent a considerable body of science & research dedicated to best approaches and development of Cardano's voting & governance stack. Everything from voting mechanisms, to vote power weighing, voter security & privacy, the works.
🎯
Photrek LLC
• Prediction Markets: A Futures Model Demo
🛠 Decentralized, open-source machine intelligence algorithm based tools to provide greater risk intelligence for trading strategies and ADA futures markets.
👀Of note, Photrek was the first SingularityNET Deep Fund team to launch a Dapp, "Risk-aware Data Generator and Risk Assessment Apps", on their AI Marketplace ( $AGIX ).
🎯
Sustainable ADA
• Elevating and Standardizing Impact Measurement of Businesses and Tokenized Assets for Cardano and the greater Web3 Ecosystem
🛠 This team brings Cardano much needed impact measurement tools and other web3 innovations that support our capacity to serve humanitarian & environmental based initiatives, something close to my own heart. This one focuses on rating impact for digital assets to empower stakeholder decisions and drive positive change. Take a moment to look at their other proposals, you may find more you want to support.

Did you miss this interview w/ @radioastro from #Mainstreet?

It's a point of sales platform that allows retailers to accept crypto & most importantly, Cardano native tokens. Can you imaging paying for a coffee with $milk tokens.

It just seems right 😅
