Catalyst 10 is over. The Cardano Network is trying to develop a new way to govern and democratize capital distribution. Congratulations to the winners. This is an incredible experiment and problem solving mission happening in real time.

But everyone knows that Catalyst 10 was massively divisive. It is time for some honest reflection among all parties involved. Both sides of this need to look in the mirror and do what we need to do to come back together with a common mission.For the losers. W all need to look at our proposals and realize that most of them were bad. Most of the proposals in Catalyst 10 were terrible. I read about 30 or so before writing ours and half were “influencers” who wanted to promote Cardano outreach as if you couldn’t do that for free. Others were just money grabs for existing projects. I saw the same exact text on 3 proposals in my small sample. Our proposals were bad. This was our first time and our proposals are new. I accept that.

MAV100 has 2 fundamental purposes. Everyone knows about our efforts to integrate Cardano Projects like World Mobile into communities. Our second purpose is to create an educational ecosystem that provides opportunity and training.It is just as important to us that we provide the opportunity for all students and citizens in the community to develop into formidable, capable, and skilled people.
