Catalyst is an open-source project that uses Web3 tech to enable community-driven governance, decision-making, and funding within the Cardano ecosystem.
Catalyst Voices is a unified front-end interface to meet the needs of the Catalyst community. Developed with continuous feedback from the community, the Catalyst Team will deliver a unified experience to replace the patchwork of wallets, Ideascale, standalone web apps, and the Catalyst mobile app today.
The product design is informed by insights gleaned over nearly three years of operating Catalyst, ongoing discovery research, and feedback from the community.
This year, we'll deliver the Catalyst Voices app only for the Web. Later, we will add iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows support.
