Hello, I’m Carl Henry,

I am working on creating a Cardano DAO, I would like to understand the costs & timeline for the creation of the necessary smart contract(s).

Could you give me any ideas please, if more detail is required please let me know what you would need to know.

Best wishes,  
Carl

Hi,

If you have a good plan then you can apply to receive funds from catalyst project to develop your idea.
