Why is it important?
SPOs play a crucial role in the Cardano Ecosystem. A Catalyst Challenge would incentivize the building of SPO based Projects on Cardano
What does success look like?
Kicking off Community based solutions to build SPO Tools & Platforms, to offer Services, Events, and Research
Key Metrics to measure
At the end of this challenge we will ask ourselves: Did we manage to make it easier for SPO Projects and developers to build on top of Cardano?
- Filling in the gaps defined in the exploration stage.
- Number of SPO Projects actively building on top of Cardano
- Defined solutions to issues in the SPO ecosystem
- The number of repos on Github using the tooling. (Month over month increase)
- A sense of community and conversations. Having people around to talk and connect with.
- Number of new Cardano SPO related initiatives submitted as proposals in Catalyst
Potential Directions
-
Developing SPO Tools

Challenge brief
The SPO community and ecosystem are vibrant and crucial parts of the Cardano ecosystem.
In past funding rounds, the needs of the SPO Ecosystem were not adequately represented by Project Catalyst challenges. By introducing this challenge we aim to take the first major step in connecting the SPO community to Project Catalyst by creating a space where SPO-related ideas and experiments can be born.
The Original Submitters also commit to take charge of running the Challenge Team, if the Challenge will be voted
