Cardano and the future of ADA: Interview with Project Catalyst Proposal Mentor Phil K
Explicit content warning
04/13/21 • 74 min
The future for the Cardano cryptocurrency has the potential to be so much more than just the price of ADA. In this interview we chat with a truly top-shelf community member, Veteran Community Advisor, and Proposal Mentor.
Phil is heavily involved in as much as he can be when it comes to the Project Catalyst proposal funding and voting process. In addition to his work as a CA/VCA he has also started some of his own proposals and projects that are up for decision in Fund 4. We also spend a great deal of time discussing some of the potential of the community, how to be involved, and the easier ways to participate with the lowest barriers to entry.
Weather you're a pastry chef or a dog-rescuer, and anything in between, you can participate and contribute in the Cardano blockchain, and might even find some nuggets for yourself along the way!

https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Infographics-Series-1/340837-48088 is Phil's ideascale Fund 4 proposal for funding infographics.
Adafund.io is Phil's idea/proposal for smaller projects that could be funded more quickly than the current 12 week cycle that is the Project Catalyst standard. Why wait if you have a strong proposal and only are seeking $1k or less? (under construction). https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/adafund-io/350662-48088 is the relavant Fund 5 proposal for Adafund.

IE: tools are already built and unsaleable before funding is made available - voting to give team a 'tip' for work undertaken.

Cardano Project Catalyst: Interview with Proposal Mentor Victor Corcino
One of the most exciting aspects of ADA and the Cardano ecosystem is "Project Catalyst". Project Catalyst is the largest decentralised capital funding organization in the world and it is a standard feature of the Cardano blockchain. Millions of dollars of startup capital is awarded every 6 weeks to various proposals that have been submitted, assessed, vetted, and voted upon by ADA holders.
Victor is a leading Community Advisor and Proposal Mentor in the Project Catalyst space. In this interview he gives a great overview of the process, opportunities for people to participate, and hidden gems in terms of possible investment opportunities for those that get involved.
