Please also refer to this list: List of proposers & proposals who have demonstrated their ability in Cardano🎉
List of 60 must-read proposals
Background for making the list:
Reason: To create a realistic list that voters can refer to.
I’ve previously created a list of suggestions like this:
List of 147 proposals who have demonstrated their ability in Cardano🎉
This list contains 147 proposals.
After all, a voter with a list of 147 proposals will simply vote like this:
-
Vote for 2-3 proposals from the top of the list to complete the voting action.
-
Or, you may be overwhelmed by the large number of proposals (147), give up, vote for one that was randomly voted on in the app, and end the voting process.
Therefore, I thought that it would be necessary to narrow down to 30, ideally 60 at most, and decided to narrow down based on the following criteria.
Experienced in creating products that are widely used in the Cardano ecosystem (same criteria as the list of 147 proposals)
Fully open source
Strong infrastructure that is widely used by developers etc.
Focus on specific development (coding)
(In addition, there are clearly more advantageous proposals, there are not many users, etc.)
I have not carefully read, considered, and narrowed down all 147 proposals.
I don’t have much time, so I’ve categorized some things intuitively.
Please let us know your opinion.
I am always grateful for your help.
