Project Catalyst Corner
We're excited to provide an update on the development progress for our open source gated polling and open source petitions features for the voting stack. Thanks to the support of Project Catalyst Fund 10, we've been able to make great headway on these new capabilities that will help expand participation and engagement in our community.
Over the past few weeks, our team has been heads-down designing, building, and testing. We're now nearing completion of milestone 1 for both features. This includes finalizing the specifications, data modeling, API endpoints, and initial frontend components.
We'll be publishing the Figma board soon so you can see the designs and workflow yourself. We're proud of the progress so far and look forward to sharing more as these features come together.
The ability to easily create polls and petitions that engage specific groups of people will be a game-changer. It unlocks new ways for us to collaborate and make decisions together. We sincerely appreciate the community's support in funding these impactful new tools.
There's still much work ahead, but we're on track to deliver on our commitment. Stay tuned for more updates as we march toward launching open source gated polling and open source petitions later this year. The future is bright!
Cardano Summit 2023
Thanks for the Cardano Love!
We just wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU for all the love and support shown to the DripDropz crew at the recent Cardano Summit in Dubai. Lloyd, Andrew, Adam, and Darlington were beyond grateful to connect with so many of you in person and chat about the future of Cardano.
The energy at the summit was next level. It was amazing to see the passion and dedication of the Cardano community on full display. We made so many new friends and connections that will help further our mission of making blockchain accessible for everyone.
We were blown away by the enthusiasm for our DripDropz project. Thank you for attending our discussion panels, masterclasses and showing interest in our vision.
Events like the Cardano Summit remind us why we love being part of this community so much. It's full of inspiring people who want to use blockchain technology to create positive change in the world. We're honored to be building alongside you amazing folks.
The future is bright for Cardano and we can't wait to see what comes next. Thanks again fam for welcoming us with open arms. Let's keep building!

Cardano SpacePlace #98 | Curing the Cardano Cancer
Recorded 11/02/2023
Click on the photo to watch the full episode.
If you missed Cardano Space Place livestream last Thursday, you definitely want to check out the replay on YouTube. The crew dove deep into some of the major topics affecting the Cardano community right now.
The market uptick and impending Bitcoin halving had everyone feeling optimistic about entering a new bull run. But there are still some internal divides fracturing the Cardano community that need mending.
Some of the topics covered:
The accusations against IOG regarding the Midnight and Nami acquisitions. The team agreed these were smart business moves, not exit strategies.
Criticism of the Cardano Foundation's updated delegation strategy to support multi-pool operators. The panel felt some backlash was unwarranted.
Issues with the protocol incentivizing stake pool centralization. The community needs to revisit the incentives model.
Toxic negativity and conspiracy theories breeding distrust. We need more nuanced discussion and journalism.
Renewed optimism about Voltaire and decentralizing Cardano governance. But participation from all is key.
The risk of investing in anonymous teams and NFT projects. Some will fail, it's not always a rug pull.
The core message was grace. As we enter a new era for Cardano, we have to learn to cooperate despite disagreements. Working together is the only way we'll achieve the project's lofty goals.
Watch the full Space Place episode on AdaFrog's YouTube channel for deeper discussion on all these topics and more. It's an insightful preview of the conversations we need to keep having as a community.
Next Cardano SpacePlace Thursday, November 9 @ 8 pm UTC.
