Fund8 Voting App

Video presentation about Voting App. Link here.

Voting App Update

• Continue Voting - easily vote on batches of proposals with vote counter, uncast ballot indicator, and improved UI
• Network Status - cast ballots with confidence by submitting votes during times of lower congestion
• Assessment Quality - prioritize the highest quality proposal assessments to make well-informed decisions
• Looking Ahead…

Continue Voting

• Looking at results from last fund, we were excited to see lots of people voting on lots of proposals
• But we noticed some people voting only once or twice
• That ada you hold gives you the right to express your voice on each and every proposal - use it!
• North Star: at least 25 votes cast per wallet - let's encourage and support each other to get there!

Easily vote on batches of proposals with vote counter, uncast ballot indicator, and improved UI

Network Status

• With more people casting more votes, we're working on how to handle additional capacity
• Scalability is a major goal for the team during this next year
• Looking at things like incremental tallying, parallel voting chains
• Until then we're optimizing what we can and giving everyone an indication of current network load to smooth things out and set expectations for casting times

Cast ballots with confidence by submitting votes during times of lower congestion

Assessment Quality

• As we grow our experiment in distributed decision making
• We want to make sure everyone has as much info as possible to make informed decisions
• So we're adding assessment QA rankings into the voting app
• And showing excellent assessments before good ones

Prioritize the highest quality proposal assessments to make well-informed decisions

Looking Ahead

• Key objective in Fund9 will be to make the app more usable across the fund cycle to promote engagement, reduce frustration, and streamline onboarding
• In flight development includes…
• Daily voting power updates outside of snapshot / voting
• Dynamic in-app fund cycle information
• Improved messaging and UI around registration and getting up to speed

Fund Goals

• We also know there have been concerns about the mention of Charles in the strategic goals for the fund
• And yes, he played major role in helping to set that direction as we begin our journey toward decentralization
• But now it's time for the community to take greater ownership over that strategic direction!

Decentralizing Catalyst

• Our journey towards true decentralization is underway and we need YOU!
• Please take 5min to engage with this wiki survey* - react to ideas from others and suggest your own

https://pol.is/5fkn8r7hs3

• Note: this is an experiment and things may break!

*For the more curious-minded, the particular tool being used is pol.is - the very same engagement and analytics engine that famously broke democratic gridlock in the vTaiwan project. It’s free and super easy to set up for anyone interested in using it for other purposes! See speaker notes for addtl links.

Thanks, and don’t forget to vote!

Any questions?

Introducing the Catalyst Circle

CATALYST CIRCLE

​

Catalyst Circle Function

​

The Circle exists to fulfill four key goals:

​

• To facilitate communication between the different functional groups
• To provide a heads-up when red lines are crossed within a certain group
• To suggest improvements on plans and processes that shape Project Catalyst
• To define the election process for Circle V4

Community Governance Oversight (CGO)

History

• In November 2021, Harris Warren (IOG) provided a presentation on the Catalyst Parameters Pilot
• This led to IOG and CCv2 drafting a Fund7 proposal to provide oversight of the Parameters Pilot and other Catalyst Governance processes
• Upon successful funding of the proposal, interested community members committed to the project at a pre-planning meeting in March 2022
• Those who want to engage with Governance Oversight can join Discord Server:
• https://discord.gg/JApQAZ8Z
