1 / #Funding on #Cardano: it is called #Catalyst, and it funds projects that are important for the adoption of Cardano. In cycles of about 6 to 8 weeks, projects can be proposed, discussed and voted on by the community.
2 / Each cycle has different topics, and the first ones are all #developer-related. We are currently at the end of the second cycle ("fund2") that contains up to $250k-worth of ada, which the #community can access. The third cycle ("fund3") will have up to $500k-worth of ada.
