According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Cardano Foundation participated in the Project Catalyst vote for the first time, focusing on strengthening governance through proposals that support operational resilience, blockchain education, and widespread adoption.
Project Catalyst is Cardano’s community innovation hub, which aims to advance on-chain governance of the Cardano blockchain by allowing the community to self-determine priorities for growth.
For the F12 vote, the Foundation focused on three key areas: enhancing operational resilience, promoting education to increase understanding of third-generation blockchains, driving adoption by reducing operating costs and improving tooling.
In addition, the Foundation prioritizes innovative on-chain solutions in traceability, authenticity, and sustainability in proposal evaluation, ensuring that projects improve data transparency, provide secure asset sources, and achieve measurable social and environmental impacts. Other criteria include support for open source initiatives, contributions to the Cardano governance model, and the project team's historical performance in previous rounds of Catalyst.
