This proposal was approved and funded by the Cardano Community via Project F8: Fund9 challenge setting Catalyst funding round.

  • funding-categories-wide-243708
  • funding-categories-wide-243708

Why is it important? Cardano needs new innovations for the ecosystem to reach its potential and offer society alternatives to existing centralised systems

What does success look like? An increasing number of products or integrations that offer new solutions for people to interact with and benefit from whilst using Cardano

Key Metrics to measure Tracking success for this category will mean:

Increasing the number products available for the community to use that help to enrich the ecosystem with new use cases. Increase the number of integrations that bring existing solutions together for a more seamless and connected experience between different products. Increased quality of existing products & integrations through suggested improvements that is supported by customer feedback or increased usage by the community.

For individual success metrics for the different types of proposal that can be included please refer to the suggested challenge brief success metrics ideas.

Challenge brief —— FUNDING CATEGORIES BACKGROUND ——

Funding Categories is an approach to doing funding categorisation that will welcome all ideas, maximize the amount of ideas submitted and reduce the effort for all stakeholders in the Catalyst process.

Funding categories also help remove the existing issues with challenge settings. They help to prevent duplicate challenge settings, remove challenges created by self interest, reduce the need for deep knowledge of the ecosystem from challenge proposal teams and also removes an easy entry point for malicious actors.

The full documentation for Catalyst Funding Categories can be found here: https://catalyst-swarm.gitbook.io/catalyst-funding-categories/

7 funding categories have been documented to cover all forms of ideas and proposals. All proposals can be found here - https://linktr.ee/cardanopace

The budget weighting for the 7 categories has been determined using a community governance process. The voting results for this process can be found here - https://catalyst-swarm.gitbook.io/catalyst-funding-categories/community-votes/fund-8-categories-budget-weighting/voting-results-fund-8

Overview

Products & Integrations is focused on the following areas:

Creation or improvement of different products that provide value to the Cardano community and wider ecosystem. Integrations with other existing services, products and protocols that improve the end user experience whether thats giving the user more options or making something easier to use that benefits the wider ecosystem.

Why this category is important

Cardano needs a thriving ecosystem of different products and integrations for the community to use that increasingly become the better alternatives over current centralised providers.

The more interesting and useful the products and integrations are that can be built in the ecosystem the more reasons people have to interact with the Cardano blockchain that can help further drive more adoption, feedback, growth and even more innovations.

Types of proposals to include

Hardware - Hardware wallets, Local ATMs for interacting with the blockchain, others… Physical products - Tokenised housing as a Cardano native asset, International crypto headquarters and liason office on every continent, others… DeFi - Stable coins, DEXs, borrow & lending, synthetic assets, others… Gaming - Open world games, card games, RPG, others… Nation governance systems - New governance systems for nation states Environment - Solutions that help to solve environment issues Transport & logistics Social media Marketplaces Many others - Any other idea, product or integration that someone thinks should be built in the Cardano ecosystem!

Potential success metrics for proposal types

This list is not exhaustive but does provides some ideas for proposers to consider.

Hardware - Number of items sold, number of total users, number of interactions with hardware solution Physical products - Number of products tokenised as a native asset, Number of people using physical solution DeFi - Total value locked, total number of users, number of active daily / weekly / monthly users Gaming - Number of players, player income generated (if play to earn), qualitative feedback on game experience Nation governance systems - Amount of population onboarded, amount of costs saved due to new solution, security difficulty improvements over previous approach Environment - Total number of users, total CO2 sequestered, amount of awareness being produced, number of people changing a environmentally damaging habit Transport & logistics - Total number of packages tracked, Number of counterfeit items prevented Social media - Total number of users, number of meaningful interactions Marketplaces - Total number of users, number of transactions performed Many others - Proposers can add in whatever metrics or success criteria make sense for their own project!

Considerations for proposers

Existing products or integrations - What products or integrations already exist in the ecosystem? What are the core differences between the proposal being presented and those existing ones and why will that provide impact to the ecosystem? Technical requirements - Does the Cardano ecosystem have the right tools, libraries and SDKs for the idea to be feasible? What needs to be introduced or improved for the proposal to fully reach its potential? Ecosystem maturity requirements - Why is this product or integration suitable for execution right now? Are there enough pieces of infrastructure, applications or other integrations available that would be needed for this suggested proposal to have a strong chance of gaining adoption? For instance, if you were making a professional social network DApp, do the right identity tools and wallets exist to make a professional network feasible?
