Challenge—Fund 8—Improve and Grow Auditability
Proposal Summary
Proposal Summary
◼
The growth of Catalyst will make auditing proposals increasingly difficult, which may result in limited visibility and failed oversight.
◼
Create analytics that help improve a user’s ability to audit Project Catalyst proposals with greater transparency.

Funding Missed by Percentage
Funding Missed by Percentage
We can look at which proposals barely missed out on funding due to fund depletion, and from that set, which were the largest projects.
Due to the rundown nature of how funds are awarded to approved proposals, there can be excellent proposals (based on overall score, total resulting votes or both) that miss out on getting funded because they requested slightly more than what was left. The table below lists the proposals that over-requested by the smallest amounts. The column “MissPercent” is the percent difference between the requested amount and the remaining funds, so, for example, if the proposal “Planting Roots in Africa” had lowered their request by just over 0.55% (or about $695) they would have been successfully funded.

Growth of Requested and Disbursed Funds
Growth of Requested and Disbursed Funds
We can look at how the total requested amount of funding grows with each new fund cycle and how much the dispersed amount of funding grows.

About Us
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.
