The Problem
Project Catalyst is rich with data from many proposals and funded projects. However, accessing, analyzing, and utilizing this data effectively remains a challenge. Without a robust tool, stakeholders, including researchers, project teams, and voters, struggle to make informed decisions and maximize the potential of the resources available.
The Solution
The solution is to open source the existing Lido Nation Catalyst Explorer and transition it to a dedicated domain: catalystexplorer.com. This platform will build upon the foundation of the current tool, incorporating additional features for in-depth research, dynamic analytics, and business acceleration.
Key Features of Catalyst Explorer
Zero Click Insight: The homepage will provide answers to common questions about Project Catalyst, such as the largest funded proposal or total voting power in the last fund, without requiring any navigation. This feature is designed for quick access to key information.
Deep Proposal Research: By aggregating data from multiple sources, including Telegram channels and various spreadsheets, the platform will offer enriched proposal data. Users can explore funding distribution, community review payouts, milestone data, and more, providing a comprehensive view of each proposal’s impact and costs.
Dynamic Analysis & Charts: The tool will enable users to generate detailed charts and fund trends, enhancing their ability to analyze data visually. This feature will help identify patterns and trends over time, supporting more strategic decision-making.

Jormungandr Explorer: This feature will index voting records, enabling users to explore voting history and power while preserving voter privacy. It will facilitate analysis and help address voter-related issues, enhancing transparency and accountability.
Impact on the Cardano Community
Informed Voting Decisions: Voters will have access to detailed information, both current and historical, empowering them to make educated decisions about which proposals to support.
Quick access to vital Project Catalyst data will streamline information dissemination, especially in fast-paced discussions and decision-making environments.
Fostering Partnerships and New Ideas: By making it easier to explore and analyze Project Catalyst data, the platform will facilitate collaborations and inspire new initiatives within the community.
Conclusion
Catalyst Explorer makes Project Catalyst data more accessible and useful, leading to more informed voting, better project outcomes, and a more connected community. Making this tool open-source is the right next step for this tool whose raison d’etre is public transparency and empowerment. By providing a robust, open-source platform for research, analytics, and business acceleration, catalystexplorer.com will continue supporting the success of Project Catalyst.
