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:

⏲️ 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.

Wonder how this news could impact Cardano's lively Vietnamese community. Link in next post

@TapTools @IOHK_Charles Good sum

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@Hahero7 Tomorrow is another day, please look after yourself today first, please.

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@InputEndorsers Good on you VP.

@FredGregaard Thus, DReps using GPT or any tools to produce an unbiased score would be the most suitable approach for a person/DRep having 24 hours/day.

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@FredGregaard To some degree, AI doesn’t act upon favouritism-based, e.g. origin or type of proposal or outputs. It is purely based on the previously learnt dataset and processed by the cold and cruel algorithms without feeling, although the dataset can be manipulated over time.

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@FredGregaard Academically, it is legitimate, as he explicitly stated and referenced that he used GPT to read.

[Phil Lewis @phillewisit]

As an @IntersectMBO member, I am personally not currently comfortable with Intersect being an administrator for treasury funded projects that aren’t awarded through a competitive selection process.

While it potentially prevents us from making best use of the funds (as we may miss out on a more preferred vendor because they weren’t aware of the opportunity to bid), I would also prefer to be part of an organisation that values fairness and opportunity, while working on continuous improvements to decentralised governance in a structured and professional way over time (how Cardano itself was built).

While I accept that there is some core work that can realistically only be done by @InputOutputHK (especially this early in our transition to DGov) and therefore probably doesn’t need to go through this process, I think the narrative being pushed by @IOHK_Charles and others that Intersect doesn’t have the experience to run such a process is oversimplifying things.

All new organisations don’t have experience, but that doesn’t mean they just don’t do things because of it. There are ways to deal with that inexperience, such as recruiting or outsourcing. This inexperience is also an assumption, but instead of entering into a dialogue about how it could work, it was just “decided” that it should be shut down.

If we continue down this path of unequal member influence over decision making, and the neutering of committees, I will probably rethink renewing by enterprise membership 😢

If you are an Intersect member, I would be interested in hearing your opinion about this, so please share this post so others can comment 🙏

@Hahero7 I guess you gave it all already, but tomorrow is a mystery, Ha. Please stay put. Well done. 🫶

@KinsonSIDAN @buidler_fest Keep it up Kinson. 🫡

[Adam Dean @adamKDean]

I'm getting stoked for BuidlerFest v2.0: Da Nang Edition in beautiful Vietnam! 🤩🇻🇳♥️ So far attendees have requested workshops and panels on: RWAs, Tooling, L2s + Infrastructure, and Interoperability! Who are we going to see there? #BuildingOnCardano @buidler_fest

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@yutazzz Very simplified both-sided of the coin expression version. Fair and open view Yuta. Good on you.

[Linh P @PassiveHash22]

@yutazzz A lot of effort, very constructive information.
Have an easy Xmas break, Yuta. 🥳🥳🥳
