🚨 Attention folks!
With #ProjectCatalyst on hold until further notice, we need to seriously think about alternative ways to fund community initiatives, grassroots efforts, and innovation from smaller teams and builders.
Treasury Withdrawals are complex by design and usually make more sense for larger-budget proposals, not for leaner, community-driven ideas.
So the question is simple: what kind of funding ranges should exist for smaller initiatives? 🤔

#Cardano
If a proposal were submitted to the Intersect Budget Process as a replacement for Catalyst, what is an adequate budget for funding projects?
The goal would be to fund new builders, innovation, community work, and growth.

In hindsight...
I wrote this tweet 👇🏻 about a week before the official announcement of the cancellation of #ProjectCatalyst Funds 15 and 16.
Now things seem even more dire, brace yourselves.
Check it out why I'm pessimistic about #Cardano grassroots projects and builders and share your views below👇🏻
🚨Under Cardano’s 2025 annual treasury budget of 350M ADA, well under 1% has effectively reached grassroots & community-led initiatives.
👉That is the scale of the imbalance.
If 1% or percentages feel abstract, remember The Lord of the Rings and the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
⚔️What does the Battle of Helm’s Deep in The Lord of the Rings have to do with #Cardano treasury and governance⁉️
I use this comparison to symbolize disparity and the tension between morale/volunteerism and structural reality/incentives.
In a pivotal moment of the film, one that would define an entire era of Middle-earth (much like Voltaire in Cardano), Aragorn and Legolas debate.
Aragorn looks at the defenders of Rohan and sees farmers, stable boys, men too old or too young to battle.
Legolas states the odds of victory in disbelief: 300 men against 10,000 orc soldiers. Roughly 3%.
His conclusion wasn’t despair. It was realism. The imbalance was structural.
Aragorn rallies to fight anyway. That wasn’t denial. It was leadership. In that moment, morale was necessary. Without morale, the walls would fall faster.
Both were right.
Realism names the imbalance.
Morale keeps people standing.
But morale alone does not change arithmetic.
However, Helm’s Deep fortress does not hold because hope increases. It holds because the equation changes. It was reinforcements that turned a last stand into a victory.
The lesson isn’t about pessimism or blind optimism. It's about holding both truths at once: Realism to accept the imbalance and morale to endure it, while recognizing that morale has limits if the structure doesn't change.
The Cardano community has morale. That morale often expresses itself as volunteerism, builders willing to contribute, open-source, mentor, and persist even without guarantees.
⚠️But volunteerism alone cannot sustain an ecosystem indefinitely.
Volunteerism can hold the wall for a while.
It cannot fund the ecosystem forever.
Coordination, allocation safeguards, and structural support are the reinforcements. Without them, the base layer doesn’t collapse dramatically. It thins out.
Legolas wasn’t wrong.
Aragorn wasn’t wrong.
But without reinforcements, Helm’s Deep would have been lost.
Governance is no different: without reflection and more resilient design, centralization becomes a systemic risk. It narrows development dispersion, concentrates decision power, and gradually suffocates the community layer that keeps the ecosystem alive.
🔎Back to Reality: A Cardano Ecosystem Funding Diagnosis under the lens of grassroots initiatives
Now back to the numbers.
In 2025, under a 350M ADA treasury ceiling, less than 1% has effectively flowed to community-led initiatives, almost all of these funds via Catalyst. That gap isn’t symbolic. It’s structural.
The official Catalyst website https://t.co/Fz48vPBGLz shows Fund 14 with 18,591,246 ADA in total to be allocated to funded projects, but only 3,254,948 ADA were distributed as of Feb/2026. Even taking the full distributed figure, that represents roughly 0.93% of a 350M-scale ceiling.
Cardano needs forward momentum. But “just a higher NCL = growth” does not align with what 2025 execution shows in practice.
Catalyst is the primary practical funding lane for community-sized initiatives. Execution speed and composition therefore matter.
Fund 14’s category budgets included:
🔸 Open Developers: 3M
🔸 Open Ecosystem: 3M
🔸 Use Cases Concepts: 4M
🔸 Use Cases: Partners & Products: 8.5M
The “Partners & Products” track is explicitly framed around enterprise collaborations and large-scale applications — not small independent teams.
Numerically, roughly 45% of Fund 14’s available budget is structurally oriented toward enterprise-scale work (8.5M out of 18.59M). The community-facing side of the fund is therefore closer to ~10M ADA in budget capacity — not the full headline.
Execution is the second constraint. Overall distribution stands at roughly 17.5% so far (3.254M out of 18.591M). Without a clear public dashboard breaking down distribution by category, the exact flow to grassroots initiatives cannot be stated precisely. But even under proportional assumptions, the effective flow into community-oriented tracks remains in the low single-digit millions — preserving the “well under 1% of treasury-scale capacity” reality.
Zooming out: the 2025 NCL was set at 350M ADA (Epoch 532–604). In 2026, with ADA weaker and many budgets quoted in USD, a similar nominal ceiling buys less real capacity while incentives tilt further toward concentration into a few large mandates.
The structural outcome is predictable:
👉 The base community layer gets squeezed.
👉 Open-source maintainers lose runway.
👉 Small teams pivot or exit.
If growth is the goal, discussing only the ceiling is not sufficient.
🔹Minimum safeguards must be explicit:
🔹Transparent category-level distribution reporting
🔹 Execution gates and stop-conditions for large mandates
🔹 Coordination rules across funded work
🔹 Denomination discipline for USD-based budgets
🔹 A protected community floor with guaranteed cadence
Otherwise, 2026 repeats 2025.
I expanded on several of these budget and NCL considerations in my recent Governance Action vote thread. Link below for context.👇

#Cardano #dRep #blockchain

A few days ago I raised governance and accountability questions around #ProjectCatalyst Fund15.
With yesterday’s announcement confirming that Fund15 and Fund16 are being cancelled, those questions are now even more relevant.
This is not about blame or “I told you so”.
The idea is to instill debates about what happened, who decided, what governance path was used, and what lessons Cardano must carry forward.
Sharing the thread again for context 👇
https://t.co/joii05flwi
We would like to share an update regarding Project Catalyst. Following our joint review, @IOGroup, which operates Catalyst today, and the @Cardano_CF have agreed to work expediently towards the Cardano Foundation assuming stewardship of Project Catalyst.
This transition is now underway and members of our Catalyst team will join the Cardano Foundation to ensure funding continuity for all existing grantees. The programme continues to administer funding to more than 500 active projects, with over 2200 projects funded to date.
As part of this process, in consultation with the Cardano Foundation we have also agreed that running Fund15 and Fund16 in their proposed form is not feasible at this time of transition. The near-term focus will be on maintaining continuity for all grantees through Fund14, ensuring that funds continue to be administered in line with agreed milestones.
Meanwhile, the Catalyst team, the Cardano Foundation and @IntersectMBO will continue to work together to develop a clear path forward for the future of community funding. At the heart of these plans is our community whose input will be invaluable to this process. Work also continues steadily towards other funding opportunities and maximising synergies for the @Cardano ecosystem.
We would like to thank all those projects that submitted their applications for funding to Fund15 and deeply regret that we cannot see these projects through at this time. While we recalibrate, we believe it is appropriate that all ada previously earmarked for grant funding in Fund15 and Fund16 be returned to the treasury in alignment with Intersect. We’d like to thank the community for their patience while we finalize the process.
Further updates on the status of this and future rounds will be shared once the transition is complete.

@RodrigoPacini 💯 Agree! @Cardano_CF transition is a good step, but fixing those 8 gaps is mandatory. Strict accountability will filter out the "fluff" builders and push #Cardano towards real-world utility, not just empty promises. 🛠️ #ProjectCatalyst #Cardano

Guess the idea goes into the drawer for now. This "freeze" is the perfect time to get back to focusing on bot coding, optimizing automation systems, and testing new strategies. Let's see what fresh direction CF brings next! 💻🕰️ #Cardano #ProjectCatalyst #ADA 3/3
I’ve been advocating for more transparency and earlier community input in #ProjectCatalyst processes.
Kudos to @dannyribar and the @Catalyst_onX team for opening the Milestone Program document to public scrutiny at the design stage. That’s a constructive step in the right direction.
I haven’t done a deep dive yet, but this approach alone deserves recognition. I’ll review carefully over the coming days.
And to the #Cardano community: a few weeks ago we saw a lot of public frustration (myself included) about the milestone process. Hope we bring that same energy to the doc now and help shape the solution.
To those who’ve been actively discussing milestone standards recently — tagging a few of you here — this is a real opportunity to translate critique into structure.

Shaping the Future of Catalyst Milestones: Your Feedback Needed 😎
Hello beautiful soul!
It’s been a bit of a roller coaster start to 2026, but our mission remains unchanged. Throughout the second half of 2025, I wrote extensively about the need to refresh the Catalyst Milestone Program to keep pace with our rapidly evolving ecosystem. We’ve already begun this journey with targeted tooling improvements in Q4, but now it’s time to go deeper.
As I shared in December, H1-2026 is dedicated to refining the Milestone Program - the true cornerstone of how @Catalyst_onX operates today.
You can catch up on some of that convo here: https://t.co/t5Ptu0joq0
So what's next? Aligning for Success 🚀
Our first major step is harmonizing requirements between Funded Proposers and Milestone Reviewers. By narrowing the gap in understanding and aligning our expectations, we can:
👉 Set every participant up for success from day one.
👉 Ensure accountability that is both repeatable and auditable.
👉 Standardize the "Proof of Achievement" (PoA) process to remove guesswork across both functional roles - proposers and reviewers alike.
Because this program is deeply embedded into the @Cardano ecosystem, I want to ensure these changes reflect (y)our collective reality. Please review the document below and leave your comments or observations directly on the text:
https://t.co/P9Op504d6F
⏲️ Timeline: I’m looking to lock these updates down and roll them out before the end of this month, so your early input is greatly appreciated. As always - we aim to iterate in a continuous feedback loop.
What can you expect next? Comprehensive skills audit across our entire pool of reviewers to identify gaps and opportunities for up-skilling or re-orientaion.
Thank you for staying the course with us. Catalyst thrives because we listen, learn, and level up together.
D.
