Dear Community Member,
Another busy week in the Catalyst land. What’s the latest?
250,000+ votes cast in Fund5
Yes, you heard it right. And all of this is possible thanks to all of you. Be proud of the work that each and everyone one of you has been putting into making on-chain governance a reality - not just a theory. Thank you all! Note: For clarification: one person can cast more than one vote.

Fund6 begins on August 12th
Start thinking about your proposals and ideas. Fund6 with 4 million US dollars worth of ada in it begins its cycle on August 12th with the insight stage. We will also be presenting all the remaining challenges and outlining the first steps for everyone during the next week’s town hall.
Shortly, we are going to learn who the Fund5 recipients are going to be. However, we already have learned this week what all community choice challenges for Fund6 are. 10 unique themes totalling almost $1.2M allocated in funds - all grassroots driven by the community entirely. And now you can start brainstorming for when they open next week:
- Voted in Fund5
- NFT Business models - $200k
- Atala PRISM DID Mass-Scale Adoption - $250k
- Disaster: When all is at stake - $150k
- Scale-UP Cardano’s Community Hubs - $100k
- Improve and Grow Auditability - $100k
- Voted in Fund4
- Cardano Emerging Threat Alarm - $50k

- Partnerships for Global Adoption - $30k
Catalyst Circle is now complete
With the latest addition of Voters’ representative, the Catalyst Circle is now complete. If you are hearing about the Catalyst Circle for the first time - I highly recommend checking out our blog piece written by Kriss Baird. Congratulations to all selected candidates and looking forward following your work along the way. Some of the initial themes that are being worked on by the CC members are outlined in this Trello board here. You can also rewatch the last Circle meeting via this link.
