Solution: A Risk Monitor tool suite empowers SPOs with decentralized means to detect whether network-wide block production aligns with expectations from protocol so that reward distribution remains honest.

Solution: Build an open-source platform where the community can log and view changes to Catalyst governance parameters, and a team who will maintain oversight and report regularly to the community.

Solution: Consenz is Agreement Building Platform. It uses the "consensus-meter" - an algorithm for consensus calculation. We wish to open-source its code to invite researchers and developers to optimize it.

Solution: Photrek will develop decentralized, open-source risk characterization tools to improve trading strategy effectiveness & customizability.

Solution: A hackathon platform for development of governance capabilities. Utilize plural voting with payment & rewards to facilitate the community in deciding the winning awards. Run a DRep team hackathon.

Solution: A SPO Health Monitor suite of tools is needed to strengthen the decentralized integrity of the SPO network. Photrek will develop a utility comparing the forecasted & actual probabilities of selection.

Solution: Photrek has developed unique robustness metrics for information systems. Dr. Aman will use these probabilistic methods to design early warning detectors that we’ll evaluate on protocol testnets.

Influence in decentralized governance, like Catalyst, is dominated by token holdings, undervaluing community engagement and contributions, leading to imbalanced decisions and reduced fairness.

Decentralized autonomous organizations lack a clear regulatory framework for integrating and balancing the interests of owners, workers, and the public.

The lack of transparent evaluation mechanisms for DReps in Cardano will hinder effective governance and delegation decisions.
