Cardano governance data has been collected. Analyzed. Debated.
Now we're asking the real question: what do we actually fix?
The Beyond Minimum Viable Governance team is running a series of community workshops on Governance Recommendations & Prioritisation this month. 6 of them are already scheduled.
Find dates, times and registration links on our linktree.👇

I received your feedback, I sound negative.

Optimism is nice.
Evidence is better.

Help us measure Cardano governance using real experience, not assumptions.

Probably at this point I'm spamming, but submitted here a more elegant invite to Beyond MVG workshops with context and all :D forum.cardano.org/t/beyond-minim…

We f'ed the Constitution up without clearly articulating our values.

Let’s not make the same mistake with governance metrics.

Join Beyond MVG or host your own and help ground Cardano measurements in real experience!

Tevo Kask @TevoSaks Jan 24

Cardano governance doesn’t wait and neither do we.

Join any of the Beyond MVG workshops to share your governance experiences

how did this one went ? Said to call it up a year later, has been exactly one year now x.com/CatalystSwarm/…

Guess what, one day DReps will go live at Catalyst too, having a CF voting on proposals will be likely just one of many big players. Most wont remember then what and why CF is pushing on that now. Many large DReps wont have a fraction of the interest to speak and listen to the community as CF does.

Call this tweet up in a year again hehe ^^
Hope so much to be proven wrong bt the future, but honestly, dont think that this will be the case

Some insights on Project Catalyst Fund14
- Total Fund: 20M Ada
- Proposal submission Start: July 23, 2025

Funding Categories
- Cardano Open Developers: 3.1M Ada
- Cardano Open Ecosystem: 3M Ada
- Cardano Use Cases - Concept: 4M Ada
- Cardano Use Cases: Partners & Products: 8.5M Ada

Caps:
Min/Max Proposal budgets at the respective Categories:

Cardano Open Developers:
- Min: 15K Ada
- Max: 100K Ada

Cardano Open Ecosystem:
- Min: 15K Ada
- Max: 60K Ada

Cardano Use Cases - Concept:
- Min: 15K
- Max: 100K Ada

- Cardano Use Cases: Partners & Products:
- Min: 250K Ada
- Max: 1M Ada

What changed for proposers to previous rounds:
- less overall budget with F10,F11 onwards 50M, to 20M now, meaning you should keep your budgets scoped and tight
- less funding categories, historically F14 with 4 categories will be lowest since Fund 3, so you have to be much more specific with your proposals
- lower proposal caps, basically hard cap on 100K for anything without strong business case
- For anything above 100k, you need to get some strong partnerships up to be able to apply at the Partners & Products category with higher available budgets (and likely insanely high competition)
