Catalyst Fund9 — Cross-Chain Collaboration
Proposal Summary
Proposal Summary
◼
Problem statement:
◼
UTXO chains need to accelerate their collaborative efforts and remember their common origins.
◼
Summarize your solution to the problem:
◼
Research active and historical UTXO blockchains, research papers and developers.
◼
Summarize your relevant experience:
◼
We've built blockchain study group materials and research documents and have already started UTXO discovery work.
◼
Solution key points:
◼
Create a significant list of “active” and “historical” UTXO blockchains
◼
Acquire white papers of active and historical UTXO blockchains.
◼
Assemble a list of researchers and developers working on exploring UTXO chains (non-public, shared with UTXO Alliance members).
◼
Build larger education information on UTXO chains as part of an education center

Relevant Presentation Examples
Relevant Presentation Examples
Wolfram has created several projects that are much larger in scope across mathematics.
The History of Mathematics Project, hosted at history-of-mathematics.org, is a virtual gallery highlighting physical artifacts that are important to the history of mathematics. Content is presented in a variety of forms and at a range of levels, making it accessible to children and experts alike. Extensive computational explanations and interactive content make use of the Wolfram Language to explain and demonstrate the mathematics involved. The virtual exhibits and their navigation are entirely built from source notebooks using the Wolfram Language, the Wolfram Knowledgebase and the Wolfram Cloud, allowing the content and website to be easily maintained and extended. The History of Mathematics Project was generously funded by Overdeck Family Foundation for the benefit of the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) in New York City.
MathWorld is the web’s most extensive mathematical resource, provided as a free service to the world’s mathematics and internet communities as part of Wolfram Research’s commitment to education and educational outreach.
MathWorld has been assembled for more than 25 years by Eric W. Weisstein with assistance from thousands of contributors. Since its contents first appeared online in 1995, MathWorld has emerged as the destination of choice for mathematical information among both the mathematics and educational communities. Its entries are extensively referenced in online resources, journals and books spanning all educational levels, including those read by researchers, elementary school students and teachers, engineers and hobbyists.
The technology behind MathWorld is heavily based on Wolfram Mathematica. In addition to being indispensable in the derivation, validation and visualization of MathWorld’s content, Mathematica is also used to build the website itself, a feat possible thanks to its advanced mathematical typesetting and data-processing capabilities.
In January 2022, an upgraded and redesigned MathWorld site was released. While the site’s content and features remain unchanged, it now boasts a responsive design that provides mobile-friendly and fully scalable text, equations and figures to a new generation of on-the-go readers.

◼
The wireframe design for the education center, there are many changes to be made here, but this gives a general idea of how things will look
◼
“Blockchain List” will first include UTxO chains
◼
“Blockchain Page” will include additional information on blockchains (again first UTxO chains) where possible we will have interviews

About Wolfram Blockchain Labs
Wolfram Blockchain Labs (WBL) is the four-year-old subsidiary of the 35-year-old Wolfram Research that is exclusively licensed with high-performance Wolfram blockchain technologies and specifically designed to extend ecosystem tools for application development for distributed ledger technologies (DLTs). WBL provides four distinct areas of ecosystem support for DLTs: computational intelligence for blockchain-based smart contracts, direct access to blockchain data through blockchain integrations, blockchain educational programs and crypto asset analytical tools.
WBL often uses additional expertise in specialized areas like machine learning from both Wolfram Research and Wolfram Technical Consulting. The latter is an organization that has completed over three hundred consulting projects in the past decade.
The Catalyst Fund 8 projects serve WBL’s overall long-term mission of ecosystem collaboration, enabling blockchain-based commerce and business model innovation for the Cardano ecosystem.
Wolfram Project Catalyst Proposals
WBL plans to use its position in the Cardano ecosystem—as a builder of tools and business operator—to assist with mentorship and collaboration within the Cardano ecosystem. We can take our experience in both working on opportunities and technical work to help accelerate the vision of members in the Project Catalyst Community. At times, people have reached out to us for assistance on Cardano projects and making sure there is a uniform criterion for outreach will help our ability to assist everyone who is interested.
