Project catalyst

community guided game engine development

Project Catalyst is a Cardano community governance program that provides seed funding for development initiatives on the blockchain.

Our philosophy

Guided by community feedback

We believe the community is the most important part of blockchain adoption. Our goal is to build the resources that aid the community in growing our ecosystem. To us, this means letting the community decide what we build; Project Catalyst is our guide.

Through the Project Catalyst system, the community votes on where funding should be allocated in the Revelar roadmap. Review or vote on our proposals linked below to help us determine what we should build next.
