πŸ“ Town Hall Elections Recordings
πŸ€” What's next? Coming up nominations & elections for Funded Proposers during coordinator meeting on Tuesday
πŸ₯

It's official. Fund4 voting results are now confirmed.

πŸ‘‰ You can view the full F4 tally results via this link
πŸ‘‰ Wish to look for past funded proposals? Check this link instead

TL'DR

πŸ‘‰ 56 proposals funded - more than all previous funds combined
πŸ‘‰ 216,749 total votes cast - almost double the amount of Fund3
πŸ‘‰ Lots of Africa proposals funded: 5 proposals + Micro-lending in Africa challenge selected

πŸ™‡ On behalf of the entire Catalyst team - we wish to thank each and every one of you for your trust, patience - making this moment a reality!

πŸ’‘ Proposers who didn't get selected - don't be disheartened. The community rewards those who are consistent and improve their proposals according to feedback. Plenty of past proposers didn't get funding the first try and eventually got it.

πŸ“ Proposers who received funding - Catalyst team will soon be in touch with all the details next week. Welcome to the Catalyst cohort! πŸ’™

Pleased to announce that voting registration for Fund5 is now open (softly)! We invite entire Cardano community to get registered in order to make their voice heard.

πŸ‘‰ If you registered in Fund4 and were able to cast votes - your registration will be automatically valid for Fund5 voting round! Provided you still have your QR and PIN code - don't need to re-register. This does NOT apply to Fund2 or Fund3 registrations.

πŸ‘‰ App stores near you can be pending approval for Catalyst Apps - may take a bit time till it gets published in your location. Not to worry. You need 0.1.13 version. 🀝

🏁 Fund5 registration window ends on July 19, 2021 @ 10:59 UTC

πŸ’‘ Full memo with details here: https://mailchi.mp/iohk/g6qpccne38-673926
πŸ”Š
PSA: In case you're still in doubt -> you need build version 0.1.13 in order to use Catalyst App. Don't see it yet or app is doing funky stuff? That's because it is out of date. πŸ‘€

πŸ‘‰ Apps are waiting for 0.1.13 build which we pushed to both Android and Apple stores. Depending on your geo location - this can take a while. Check in later. You may need to uninstall the app and download fresh copy from the store once available. There are 11 days to register. Not to worry. πŸ€—

Remember - this is an experiment? Thank you for your patience. πŸ§ͺπŸ˜‰
Fund5 voter registrations are open!
